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: 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.

Who: ???
Where: The Arena AND BEYOND
When: Day ۞۞۞
What:

[There is, in many ways, a strange anticipatory silence and darkness in the Arena before games. It's often hard to put a finger on, and those who've gone in and searched the ruins or forages for small branches, might have a hard time defining why THEN is different. A bit like they should be holding their breath, or be wary at their own torchlight.

However, today, instead of the spreading of a false environment of a Game... a shower of lights materializes in the Arena, near the South Block doors... as it fades, it leaves behind a group of people who never really expected to be here again.]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 301, all day
What: Walking in a Sokka Wonderland.

[So, there is snow and ice and also the feeling of Manly and Badass in the air. Things bode for the plot. What are you doing? Important things?]

Hello! Is anyone home? It's me, Sakura! I'm baaaa—u-uwaaah!!

Who: Any
Where: Along the river, Pygnus and Bunnycorn, DelPavo and Lacerta/Cepheus territory
When: Day 214, Noonish
What: Testing the waters

[A shark seems to be skating through most of the major areas today, with a fishing spear and a line of rope. Seemingly looking for a decent hunting spot within the more populous areas, but is certainly making a closer swing here and there if people are around.

He may or may not be stalked by other Hydracula, but really, that just how it goes.]

((OOC: Something of a general post! Give me a heads up where you are and there will be visiting times (Or just use it for your own post game play~)))

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 205, early afternoon

[Little has changed since you left, other than the light suffusing the Arena is brighter, in time with the day.

As the last of the teams file in, possessions in hand, pushed or pulled behind, the water seeping into the Arena seems to simply be drawn out.

The eastern doors groan, shudder and swing shut with a final, echoing boom. The soft sound of sobbing and water halts just as suddenly. One of the helper ants begins chewing on a wall idly.]

That out of the way! Lets get a little organized, shall we? Please head to the Southern Gate, and line up by partner teams.

Ah, and yes, Cepheus and Lacerta are now partners. Moving on!

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 205, Early in the morning
What:

[Those who answer the Call today are some level of muddy or wet, having had to slog in through ankle deep mud or knee deep water.

There is very little pomp and circumstance to this particular Call. No unusual setup, no grand sweeping changes as you enter. It is merely bright, full of a dawning, sourceless light and the throne sitting in the middle of the usual ruins and barren spaces you find in the Arena normally.

The King, himself, sits upon the throne.]

Fill in, now. Don’t stand in the doorway. Lets make it snappy.

((HEY KING SAYIN STUFF!
sayin more stuff to Canis and Orion))

Who: Bunnycorn
Where: Monoceros
When: Day 202, after drinking more the Dude's game.
What: Memories and other things, oh my.

[somehow, Monoceros has made it back to their dorms in one piece]

A serious goat was taken seriously . . . amazing.

Who: BLANKS
Where: ARENA
When: Day 194, noon
What: GAME

[ For those who know the Huntress's voice, the Call is in her voice: ]

Gynonudomania, yataghan, acataleptic, quadragintesimal, zymase, macaronic, keratogenic.

Who: Watanuki and Syaoran + various people
Where: The lake, then back to the dorms
When: Day 193, late evening
What: De-swapping and coming home

[Late in the evening on 193, there's some splashing and flailing coming from the lake. Good news: the noodles are back in their proper bodies. Bad news: they had a hell of a time getting that far. Watanuki is supporting Syaoran, trying to get them both out of the lake.]

J-just a little further...

Who: Mirror + various
Where: Dorms, ???
When: Early on day 193
What: Mirror penalties, round II

[In the wake of the earthquake and all these new people ... there's another, more familiar force roaming about. Time to wrap up the penalties.]

(( OOC: If you and I have already discussed your character's penalty, comment here with your character's location! We'll move straight on to threading out your penalties.
