Sabra La Tau

Who: Cygnus, WHOEVER (whomever?)
Where: Cygnus dorm
When: Day 154, after the game
What: out damned spot, also questions

[Any Cygnus just getting back will find Taiki bending over the sink and washing the blood from his face. OH GOD I CAN STILL SMELL IIIIT]

Ugh... what was that?

Who: haHA
Where: The Arena
When: Day 154, NOT MUCH LATER
What: haHA

[There is a sudden flux in pressure so strong that those without highly robust sinuses may find their noses bleeding. The looms unweave themselves and crumble to dust. There is a SHUNK! and a POP! and all that was strange stops and the Arena settles back into what's familiar.]



Haha! Oh that Trickster. Why, that wasn't even a proper game by his standards. Well, what can you do? I'm sure you're all tuckered out, so why don't you all just head on home now, and we'll get a better game for you out soon.

WhØ: all
Ѡhεre: where
Wheת: Day 154, ?????
WhДt: game 1ØØ

[The Arena is not as it usually is.

The dawn that breaks over the judge's throne is a fractured thing; bright rays mixed with pale and trembling fingers of light, spots that through the arena seen clear while others still cling to the false night. Here, where the light falls, ruined buildings look whole again, colours lively and fresh. Where a ray falls there, there is no stone at all; the broken archway is instead the spreading limbs of a great tree, reaching for the sky. Pieces of road disappear into patches of deep water, waves crashing on nothing at all.

Here, where darkness stretches, the scenery itself seems to unravel. Lines fray and images fade, as if spun on a tapestry that is but a single pulled thread from being nothing at all.

The air is heavy and full of a pressure that settles behind the eyes, and it's quiet, so quiet, but the echo of sound unheard fills the air . . . murmurs of voices, words without meaning, the soft clack of a shuttle moving through thread.

The throne, when you look, is empty. But when you don't—when your attention strays, when the pressure builds—there may almost be a woman there, a small hand-loom on her lap, a scarf wrapped about her head. Her face is old but kind, unmistakably beautiful despite its age, and her smile is a gentle one.

In front of her there are fourteen large looms, each strung up with one of fourteen unmistakable shades.]

Hero . . . hero . . . hero . . .

Who: Anyone who happens to be around
Where: Just outside the Hydracula dorms
When: Day 152, late afternoon

SHIGURE!!! Get out here! We need to talk!

Who: Cygnus and whoeverrrr
Where: Cygnus dorms
When: Day 151, mid-morning
What: Memory berries

[Swans fresh from the game and now home. Victory! Mostly. Taiki sets five (5) berries on ye ole table.]

Is anyone in?

Who: Anyone
Where: Outside Corvus
When: Day 147, evening
What: A lost-looking newbie

[there is a red firelion wandering, looking very, very lost and confused]

What is this...?

Who: Canis, a lot of dead people, anyone else
Where: Common area near Lacanis dorms
When: Day 147, postgame
What: Lizards On Ice The morbidest ice-capades serious business

*a mind mage, his team and anyone who wants to help are laying out frozen bodies in a common area, with as much dignity as they can manage.*

Right. I guess we need to get someone's attention.

Who: Cygnus, visitors
Where: Cygnus dorm
When: Day 146, around lunchtime
What: So how 'bout them berries...

[BERRIES ON A PLATE ON A TABLE AGAIN, and have been there for a few days. But today could be the day!]

It's been a while...

Who: Anyone
Where: Outside Cygnus
When: Day 145, evening
What: Wandering newbie

[There is a girl in pink wandering around, a mildly curious expression on her face, as she runs her hands along the cave walls]

Where am I...?

Who: ANTS ... and Blanks I guess.
Where: The commons area to the west of Pyxis
When: Day 144, Late
What: :D

[It's pretty far from civilization, but a double column of giant cave ants marching in WILL attract attention.

The first of the colony seem to establish perimeters, cutting or biting lines in the ground.. Others come after, dragging blocks and wood...

There is some large scale construction going ... and happening fast.]

HA HA! Easy on the west wall there! Solid! No holes!

Who: Cygnus and Sephiroth
Where: Cygnus
When: Day 144, late afternoon
What:

[knock knock, Cygnus]

Who: Delphinus (does anyone actually want to visit them right now?)
Where: Delpavo
When: Day 142, late night
What: Awkward tiems

[Rummaging through first aid kit and getting the proper medical plants together. His... finger has been retrieved and wrapped in a scrap cloth.]

U-uhm. Cygnus w-won, I guess . . .


[there are now three doors under her skirt, one leading to each of the rooms. The walls of the last room are slowly receding.]

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 142, early afternoon
What:

[It's laughter that calls the Blanks to the Arena today- or- is it sobbing? It's a little hard to tell.

The form sitting on the throne is unfamiliar, and difficult to truly call humanoid. The limbs are all too long, unsettlingly so, even without their skeletal thinness. She has a face that must have been pretty one, but now it's sunken, hollow, and pock-marked. She is clothed in a great white moth-eaten petticoat, which hangs off her thin frame. Though the statue is still, there seems to be some strange motion about her, as if her skin itself was moving. Only upon closer inspection is it clear that the pock-marks on her skin are terapede nests. The movement of her dress is from the moths inside- millions of them, maybe more, slowly chewing at and destroying her clothes. As they crawl and chew, their refuse is drifting our from the bottom, quickly forming a thin carpet of filth beneath her.]




He's g-gone. He's gone he's gone. It's j-just, one. Ahaha. Heh. Only one. One Judge, alone with the Blanks. Is this r-really what you wanted? Don't worry, b-babe, y-you'll do fine. You'll- aheh- you'll k-knock 'em dead. You fuckers. You're going to pay for that.

[per usual, smallest Cygnus is staring down memories after having attempted and failed to make anything resembling lunch (though there is evidence of his attempts still around for the unsuspecting victims teammates). however, he is also quicker to pick one up and munch it this time around

--and then there is reactions. Lots of them]

... why do I keep ending up in the hospital?!

What?

[Persona's statue presides over the Arena today. There is a large, black door, and five black couches, with five sleeping Blanks: Spiky, Kirk, Masamune, Revan, and Zero]

What sorts of things will you find in a heart? Which one of these things is not like the others? Which one of these things doesn't belong?

What will happen if you leave it there?
