Sabra La Tau

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Messenger's Year 1, Day 1
What: Closing Time.

[Ptou reforms, sand solidifying into marble, the robes, tattered, become the tapestries of royalty and a thin, circular crown sits on his head.

He stares down at the ground a long moment, silent.]

Is that... it?

Is this what it's like?

FINAL DEPARTURE

If any links are misdirected or missing, PM Claude! ))

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena again
When: STOP. ZOMBIE TIME (part two, earthtime edition)
What:

[The battle continues, friend against friend, lover against lover and team against team. Staring down at it all, the King's face seems unusually haggard, hairline fractures forming every time another bracer shatters for those who watch closely.

It's every now and then, with no regular pattern or strength, you hear something rumble, followed by the ground under your feet shuddering.

But this really isn't the time to worry about that, is it? You hear a snap of fingers, and those who have been blessed by the King feel the quiet thrum of power, electricity at their fingertips.]

I think we've had enough games don't you? Ophiuchus, subdue the remainder.

Who: ???
Where: ???
When: ???
What: ???

[You are in white space, floating gently on your back. It's comfortable and warm. The lassitude in the air seeps into your muscles, letting you truly relax. Pushed by something unseen, you rock gently in that empty space, as if floating on small, rolling waves.

Everything is calm and comfortable. What were you just doing? You can't quite fish up the memory but you have a vague, muted anxiety that it was important.

Something urges you quietly to just give it up, just forget.

As you drift... you see someone sitting next to you, calm, understanding...]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: The Arena
When: >(
What: YA'LL ARE DICKS

[Lightning arcs through the air, spreading out just over the heads of the gathered blanks with deafening thunder. Where it strikes the walls the marble chips and cracks, leaving small craters dotting the pristine surfaces. The face of King's statue is contorted in plain displeasure. Each time you blink, his gaze falls on a different person.]

That is quite enough. Let's have no more of these childish shenanigans. My patience has worn thin enough already, blanks.

Will you be handing over the keystones, yes or no?

[React || TRICKSTER || King Keystone Retrieval ]

Who: All Ophi, traitor and loyal, all Blanks. Good ended DO NOT hear the call, but can come
Where: The Arena
When: :)
What: Ladies and Gentleman, we understand that you have come to bear witness to the sound of drums and bass.

[As you enter the arena today, it is like you have stepped into a gala floor. Round tables with black and white checkers are arranged in a semi circle around the southern corners of the room, leaving the vast majority of the marble floor open for dancing. Austere marble pillars break the expanse of the floor in neat rows, affording a couple a moment of privacy as needed. Against the east wall, a bar is set with several classy appetizers, and a single platter of ten shrimp next to a crystal punch bowl.

At the very end of the expansive room, a black marble stage has a band set up, and ready to play. Behind that, stretching up and up, is a regal black throne. No one sits on it yet.

The double doors close after the last of you with a certain finality.]

Welcome, my dear blanks. And welcome to your guests as well! Quite unexpected to see so many familiar faces again. It does bring back memories, doesn't it?

I do hope you'll find the festivities to your liking. I know we've had our differences in the past, but I've put quite a bit of effort into ensuring that everything goes perfectly. As long as everyone, and that does include the delightful guests you've brought along, stays on their best behavior, I think we'll get along quite nicely.

((OOC: WE BEGIN! First event begins in an hour 8PM EST.)

[ Mingle || HORN!!!! || Rules :) || PART TWO])

Who: Blaze and Orion
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 303, afternoon-ish?
What: Hobo knocking on your door

Orion! Can we talk?

Who: Anyone
Where: All around
When: Day 300, afternoon
What: Wandering Vulps

[this particular Vulp isn't doing much of anything, mostly mulling over recent decisions and... things but also going around visiting his peeps.

what's going on in the rest of Sabra?]

Who: Parrot, Orion, anyone?
Where: ORION
When: Day 299, noon-ish
What: Using the door for once.

[KNOCKING ON ORION'S DOOR]

It's Parrot.

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 297, morning
What: Man there sure are Sabra-wide random fucking effects!

[REACT]

Who: Anyone
Where: Orion
When: Day 296, morning
What: Doom

[And then Orion exploded]

Who: Anyone
Where: The lake
When: Day 295, afternoon
What: Just diving. Nothing to see here.


[There is a half naked Ophiuchus standing by the lake with an Apus. Maybe they're getting ready for a swim]

Ready?

((Feel free to mingle))

Who: Santa and whoever
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 293, afternoon
What: bidding farewell to dignity, and also kisses.

[After finally getting some sleep, Santa decided it's time to finally get done with a certain mission he was given days ago. And so, on this merry afternoon, he is wearing this fantastic outfit, ready to bid farewell to his dignity forever and visit dorms. You can see him walking around in this.]

Ugh... This pretty fucking embarrassing.

((feel free to use for your own mingle needs as well)

Who: Orion & Co. + anyone?
Where: Orion
When: Day 293, early morning!
What: Newness

[this guy has just waltzed out of his bedroom, and is now glancing about the place with an expression of interest and glee on his face]

Well, well, well! There's no way I'm the only one here.

Who: Monsterhunter and friends
Where: Cetus??
When: Day 291, all day
What: idk, memory catch-up and post-Mirror-heart shenanigans?

[sooomeone is behind on their memories, one from an earlier game and one from that heart game yesterday 8|a;;]

Who: Orion and anyone at all
Where: Outside Orion's dorm
When: Day 289, getting on toward evening
What:  A party thing honoring the Dude pleasant "fuck you" to King with this timing mission. This is serious business you guys.

[The step pyramid that is Orion's dorm is looking festive today; strands of those metallic-tasting berries and cinnamon-bark have been carefully threaded and slope downward from the roof garden. The cookpot has been filled with water and dragged outside; all six of Orion's cups are outside, as well. Nearby, two freshly killed pederpes have been butchered and sliced into manageable pieces, and beside the meat, there are thin slivers of mushwood to use as skewers.]

[Perhaps the most noticeable change, however, is the hole in the rock in front of the dorm- and the wood that has been piled up inside it to make a massive bonfire. Sketched on each side of the fire, in charcoal, is the rough outline of a turtle.]

[A kid in yellow is just finishing up drawing the last one.]

There. This had better be good enough to count.

Who: EVERYONE
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 289, post-good ends
What: ...

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

Who: The Gentleman, anyone
Where: Sitting on top of Apus
When: Day 288, evening
What: Chilling, RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN

[A dapper, elderly man sits on the edge of the Apus dorms roof. He doesn't seem overly remarkable past his presence... a well tended hat and immaculate suit, polished dress shoes... but there's something about him that ... makes him hard to look directly AT.

He has a rather fancy, bottled beer sitting next to him, and is idly pulling on a fishing pole now and then. The line is... down into the hole that swallowed Cygnus.

He's humming a rather cheerful ditty, as if it was a fine day for fishing.]

Who: Monsterhunter, Lizardking, Parrot and Persona
Where: Cetus dorms
When: Day 286, after meeting, before deage game!
What: Heart antics!

[After a certain meeting, a cat might have left separate from Mitsuru, stalking off into the shadows too quickly to easily catch, or do so without notice.

It's some hours later, only a little while before curfew that two events might simultaneously be discovered... One, any of Lizardking venturing out might find two modest sized uglyfish on their doorstep... obviously killed by some rather brutally impressive blunt force... and the return of a certain drenched, and rather annoyed cat to the Cetus dorms...

He wastes very little time closing the door and returning to a rather... drenched and rather annoyed human form.]

That should do it. I don't give a shit what happens, but lets get this over with.

Who: Anyone
Where: Monsterhunter
When: Day 286, post-game
What: a sparklejesus returns

[Someone is knocking on Cetus's door. It could be anyone, except for what they say next.]

Cetus! Cetus, is there anyone home? Please excuse me if there is not.

[Who else would apologise for thinking a dorm is empty?]

Who: ANYONE!
Where: Orion :') Please access the dorm from Cetus trapdoor
When: Day 284, Noon
What: PARTAY! Spin the bottle! Burgers! Middle of the day sleepovers!

[There are at the very least four people poking their head up through the trapdoor entrance to Orion, this is not ominous at all.]

You're right Cheer! This place is really empty. Think we can use it?

((Anyone ever is free to tag in! Maya, Rena, Hizumi and Kurono are having a party and it is somehow being hosted at Orion without their consent. You can assume Maya and Rena were being really loud about it and would have told anyone that it was okay to join in.))
