Sabra La Tau

[For all your continuation needs.]

Who: All units
Where: The Arena
When: Day 148, late evening
What: Game 97


[The call that echoes out from the arena this evening has no voice human ears can hear. Some few may hear a whistle, high and sweet. For all others, the call comes in how the torches of the main caverns flicker and flare in the sound's wake, sending long shadows dancing over the cavern walls.

The lights steady and dim. Colours fade and only one shadow remains, stretching unerringly, no matter how one moves, to the arena's entrance.]

Come fox and hare, come dog and cat, come crow and noble swan. Come hundred-eyes, come many-heads, come single crowning horn. Come lizard sharp and dolphin swift, come hunter proud and royal crowned and ship's unerring guide.

Come serpent dark, and sheathe your fangs; there is no need for them to shine.

I wish to play a game.

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 147, afternoon
What:

[Soldier’s statue is on the throne in its usual naked glory. At the base of his throne is a large screen, on that screen a small world, and in that small world, two demons. Right now, they’re looming over a village.]

HAHAHA, CHECK THIS SHIT OUT! THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I EVER HAD WHILE (SOMEWHAT) SOBER. SEE, WHAT I DID WAS, I TURNED DOWN RAZORFANG AND THE LITTLE LEPUS DEMON’S BRACERS, SO THEY CAN HAVE A DEMON EXPLOSION BATTLE!

FIRST OFF, A LITTLE DEMON-STRATION! THEN YOU CAN PLACE YOUR BETS.

CARNIVAL GAMES

Hydracula & Allen
Bunnycorn & Watanuki
Cepheon & Aeris
Delpavo & Rayflo
Corvus, Lynx, Canis, & Razzy
Pygnus, Mao, & Nora

SO BASICALLY! This is going to be turn-based, and each individual team can play one carnival game per turn (though depending on the pace of the game that may change). Katou is running the minigames; Nora is running Lacerta's wacky adventures, and Mao is taking care of ticket-taking number-crunching. We will sabraping between turns.

[carrying Simi home bridal style]

That was really too much...

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 140
What:

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing even to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is not any landscape you have seen before...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation of up or down, walls or even the floor. You can only see the throne in the far off distance, and three pathways each covered with a lush carpet: Green, Black with white trim, and Yellow. They bear the sigil of a hydra, a skeletal snake and a club embossed into the weave. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table, filled with punch, and several large party platters filled with cold cuts, olives and the occasional odd vegetable.]

[However, should you follow any of the pathways, the landscape begins to change...]

((OOC note: We're trying something different this time! You can walk towards any other landscape to get to that table! Ophi and Hydra's tables require no walking between, really.

Judges, feel free to show up as you will, same rules as usual!))

When: Day 137, late morning
What: Fussing over our zombie

[There's breakfast, there's Bunnycorns, and . . . there's a gargoyle actually inside for once, carefully untying the rags holding Mikaila's hair up and letting the freshly-set curls spill down.]

Is that better?

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?

Who: Lepus, visitors
Where: Lepus dorms
When: Day 134, afternoon
What: Looking for food

[There is a slender girl with long, black hair and huge wings picking up a stool and taking a bite out of one of the legs. She chews for a second, makes a disgusted face, and spits it out.]

Well, that don't taste real good, neither. What's a girl gotta do to get some decent food around here?

What: Cold and wet and VAN IS HIGH

Uhm, how are you feeling now?

Who: Everyone!
Where: Arena
When: Day 132, evening
What: Game time!

[The Call to the Arena today is the simple sound of hammer on metal. Rhythmic, tireless it's almost a marching tune to those who happened to hear and follow it.

When you enter the Arena bare land quickly gives way to drifts of snow and barren, snow-striped trees. The further you go in, the deeper and deeper the snow gets. By the time you can make out the broad, grinning statue on the throne between gusts of snow laden wind, the snow chest-deep on most.

In the center, at the statues feet are two very welcome things at this point: Fur wraps of some unknown white animal large enough to drape around you and a metal pot of hot chocolate and several ceramic cups.]

HA HA HA! Bit of an effort wasn't it? I had to get your blood pumping for this one! Everyone warmed up?

Who: ...SOMEONE AWESOME >8F
Where: TERAPEDE COUNTRY
When: Day 130, afternoon
What: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

[Should you follow the sound of demonic laughter wafting into the civilized areas of Sabra La Tau, you will find a bracerless creature in rags that are not the color of brown they are supposed to be, sitting atop the corpse of a particularly large fatty lizard. In between bursts of being very loud, he is munching on a raw foreleg.]

[By the way, there are sure an awful lot of holes out here...]

Who: MOTHERFUCKERS
Where: Mao's room and then Lepus commons
When 125, early evening
What: [There is suddenly quite a clamor coming from one young demon's room today which may include, but not be limited to: shouting in alarm, screaming in pain and the general flipping of tables. There is half a moment's quiet before his bedroom door is kicked open and out comes a highly irate Pyxis wearing only a stolen Lepus tunic and a whole lotta blood. She is holding aforementioned and possibly unconscious demon up by the hair and has a knife to his throat.]



OPEN. THE GOD DAMN. DOOR.
