Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The dorms
When: Day 232, evening
What: Ranking changes... and a mission

[For many Ophiuchus who have been used to such changes occurring terribly early in the morning, if not in one's sleep if they are not favored by Horn, probably for the first time feel the earth shake, the rasp of scales, and a black shimmer engulf your clothing, changing them as you stand.

Caduceus has taken the finery and luxuries of this round, with Uraeus following extremely closely. Uroboros places last by only a point.

Outside of the unusual time of a rankings change, there's something of an anticipatory air hanging heavy.]

[The interior of the temple is cavernous and... impossible. Touched by neither decay, scavengers, nor a hungry animal wishing a meal, the temple is filled with cushions, curtains, lush carpets and draperies. Only layers of dust discoloring them is any nod to the fact that you are not hallucinating this.

Richly colored tiles run the length of the temple floor, smooth and even, and outlined and veined by what seems to be precious metals. Small pedestals and founts are positioned near each cluster of oversized cushions and layers of ornamental carpets. Curtains hang around each, some drawn by cords, others obscuring easy view.

At the very front of the room is a smooth, rosy altar whose curled ends resemble cinnamon swirls or claws... Nearly as incredibly, offerings still remain upon it, from cut gems of a more advanced time, to the crude carvings more easily pictured from Blanks. Beyond the altar, there's an open, unadorned doorway.

Between the curtains, you catch slivers of what appears to be mosaic images.]

[When you get closer, you find that there is more than enough room to walk behind the curtains. Your lamplight is powerful in this confined space, and easily illuminates every detail of the flowing pictures you follow.

The acts they portray are at first, simple indulgences: feasts, a stolen kiss, a glare at a coveted lover and their paramour. They often become more daring, sexuality celebrated without regard to gender ... and in some of the more disturbing pictures, species. Most are bordered by images of food, delicate, rich and typically not available to those who make their lives in Sabra in this environment.]

	[peeks out] Hey guys there's fun stuff back here! I bet they had orgies around here. [points to the curtains] Only way better orgies than I've had. No special items this way though! [wandering back out] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You catch a faint smell of incense on the air, the tang of something metallic and a woman's refined laughter. For a split second, you feel dizzy, the floor tilting under your feet. It's gone just as quickly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sitting on the altar are a few scattered gems, some inset in metal, some loose. A few purple hued coins scatter here and there. There is a carving of a rather realistically imagined heart... There's a rather wicked looking dagger with a grooved and notched blade... There are other signs of decomposing material of more perishable offerings...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[grabs the dagger and uses it to poke around] You know, it would be helpful if we knew what we were looking for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
