Who: Orion, whoever is likely to bother Orion
Where: Orion dorms
When: Late Afternoon 260
What: Orion Modus Operandi

[so. it might be Orion standard operating procedure to tactfully not mention problems or stonily ignoring them as if sheer force of will can make them go away, but.

Maybe it is time to acknowledge the elephant in the room]

Hey, um..

[or maybe. not. Maybe we're just fine with keeping on with this ignoring thing!! I'll just go. Ignore that aborted attempt at conversation and retreat into the kitchen!!]

	Did you ever see the mural in the east block? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[shakes his head] No. I didn't see all that much back there, with everything going on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There was a cave that had been lined with pieces of the dorms to keep the judges from seeing it. Inside, there was a series of pictures on the walls.

In the first one, the judges stood on a mountain with figures in black below them. Below that, symbols for each of the teams in appropriate colors were laid out. The Old Woman was up in the sky.

In the second- it was hard to see, because it had been broken- but it looked like the Old Woman changed color. Went mad, the way it happened back then.

In the last one, the mountain opened up and the judges fell inside.

	So it was a history. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's not all it was. It was a warning, too. The wall on the incomplete mural had been destroyed- and under where the picture had been, "Don't look at him," was written. The first time the place was found, a skeleton was there. It was determined to have been a woman. She was dressed in Pyxis red and carrying a hammer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...fft] Damn it. Was she the one who destroyed the last wall? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2011-08-09 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	Presumably. The marks on the wall were consistent with hammer marks. So were the marks on her skull. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[that doesn't seem to bother him.] Can't blame her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Also looks pretty unbothered.] She ran out of options- so she made another one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mmm. "Don't look at him"... that'd be the Old Man, wouldn't it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2011-08-09 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	It has to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mercykills 2011-08-10 09:07 am UTC (link)
	I wonder if that means anything... technically it's everywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2011-08-10 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe we were supposed to jut leave it alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mercykills 2011-08-11 05:34 am UTC (link)
	Oh well. Too late for that now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2011-08-13 02:23 pm UTC (link)
	And anyway, people were getting pulled in before we ever went near it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2011-08-14 10:32 am UTC (link)
	That we take down the judges. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...snorts] Well, no objections here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as we can extract a few concessions first... I'm in, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd be fine killing them right now, really. But it's not going to be that easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
