Sabra La Tau

Who: Watanuki + Aeris + everyone
Where: Inside your dreeeeeams
When: Day 176, night. (after Allen's return.)
What: Watanuki and Aeris go dreamwalking. Shenanigans ensue!

[Watanuki would be a pretty damn competent dreamwalker ... if he had all of the relevant memories back. As it is, he has the power required but not the control. Which means that his forays into the dreamworld lead to a big fat interconnected mess of unconscious psyche.

What are you dreaming about tonight?]


(( OOC: Dreampost! This is done CFUD-style. For those not familiar with that, here's how it works:

A) If you comment to the post, you're hosting a dream of your own. People can comment to you as part of the dream (i.e., you dreaming about them in your head) or as a connected interloper.
B) Similarly, if you comment to someone else's thread, you're either part of their dream or crossing over from yours to theirs.
C) Feel free to remember as much of (or as little of) the dreams as you like.
D) If you're participating, then your bracer is open a tiiiny crack or two during slumber. Or otherwise briefly permeable.
E) Watanuki (and probably Aeris) will be out and about, but not commenting to everyone. Ping us if you want one of us in particular. ))

Who: Everyone.
Where: The Arena.
When: Day 176, morning.
What: A new game ♥

[the arena today has a new statue: a pair of embracing lovers. Oh, great. That aside, though, the area directly around the statue is more appealing, with wine bottles and glasses on tables, and piles upon piles of comfortable pillows, satin and velvet and tasseled. The Judge’s voice is smooth and lilting and masculine, with a hint of good humor.]

Welcome to my humble game. Please, take some time to relax and de-stress before we begin.

[there are also, inexplicably, two rows of squishy slippers in various team colors lined up neatly next to the statue. Well, if you’re here, why don’t you slip into something a little more comfortable . . .?]

What: A game, a game!

[There's a tick-tock, tick-tock coming from the arena today, and as you get closer it multiplies, the ticking of clocks and the rustle of papers chiming together in a whole bunch of ticky noises. When you arrive, the statue is of a man in his prime, with a watch on his wrist and his arms and chest scribbled on all over with numbers and foreign characters. The marks range from clumsy to an intricately detailed hand, diagrams of dots and lines, numbers, all kinds of markings. some are even "carved" into the stone.

He's leaning standing in front of a simple sundial on a pedestal. If he's aware of the irony of a sundial in a place with no sun, he finds it hilarious, going by the broad grin on his face.]

The time, the time-- just look at the time! How it flies. It's time for me to make an appearance!

Will something important happen to-day? Will everyone remember? You all grow so fast! ♪ It makes me remember the past... Aah, which is more exciting, the past of the future? Or what's happening now? I just can't decide.

The game is afoot, everyone! Be gentle, it's my first time!

Where: The Arena
When: Day 171, midmorning
What:

I heard a rumor that being light of foot is the best trait to have. Well, and those that place their trust in the sureness of stones are headed down the safest path.

[ Horn's statue sits on the throne, head tilted, looking up. If you follow its gaze you will see two rope ladders hanging down from what looks like ... well, you can't really tell as it's pretty far up. But it might be a bridge, a platform? Something. ]

Speed, speed, heading forward as fast as you can! A reward that can be tucked away is waiting for you, perhaps. But the slowest will be left behind, or maybe they will find themselves further down ... how do you feel about fortresses? All walls should be scaled!

I heard a rumor impediments can be violent.

Who: Claude, anyone
Where: Common area south of Pygnus, past the mill and river
When: Day 170, daytime
What: Tribute, etc.

* up on the higher ground overlooking the river and the rest of the vast Pyxis-Cygnus cavern, a new structure has been completed! Looks pretty much like a small windowless wooden cabin, if by 'small' one understands it as 'could fit the meat from an entire fatty lizard in here'. The close examiner will find this building is also entirely nail-free. :|a *

* a couple of purples and yellows may be putting long-overdue finishing touches to the thing. ...except for one purple sitting on the side, having been barred from doing anything remotely hand-related. *

...it's not like I can't pick up a hammer with just one...

Who: Lepus, Edward Elric, Sohma Shigure
Where: The Operating Room
When: Day 168, late evening (so game day antics can happen without worry)
What: Penalty times 1/2

[As the torches truly begin to dim, Delphinus and Hydra hear a heavy metallic rapping on the door. No matter whom answered the door, certain people are taken this time, perhaps by design or by lottery. The Assistant merely bows to the person at the door before they disappear... or as someone inside simply vanishes.

Lepus, on the other hand, simply feels a comfortable, but firm tug towards the door. When the open it... it is to a simple, white, aseptic room.]

Who: Jimmy and YOU!
Where: Outside the bunnycorn dorms
When: Day 168, early evening
What: Experiments with regional flora 8)


[if one walks by the Monoceros and Lepus dormitories, one may stumble upon Jimmy -- oh gees is this sounding familiar? -- though as opposed to previously when he was on his way to being plastered, this time he's sitting outside with his legs crossed and is chewing on a reed, looking pretty calm and a little blissed out and well, pleased with himself. ... what, do you want some?]

Who: Anyone
Where: In and out around Bunnycorn
When: Day 168, noon
What: Aw she's so cute and new.

[Should you find yourself in the Bunnycorn area today, you may find this Blank is talking to YOU. Yes, you.]

... 'Sup.

Who: New Lepus member #1
Where: Lepus + Bunnycorn area
When: Day 167, evening-ish.
What: New guy!

[so there's a rather confused-looking (and very muscular) young man wandering in and in front of the Lepus dorms. he's studying everything silently. ... also, he seems to have his message tube in hand. both pieces of it. :|]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 166
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 four pathways each covered with a lush carpet: Brown, Green, Black with gold trim, and Yellow. They bear the sigil of a hare, a lizard, a skeletal snake biting its own tail 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...]

Who: Harmony!
Where: SOMEWHERE AROUND THE CAVES
When: Day 164 laaaate evening / 165 eaaaarly morning
What: PATROLLING. Or is it?


[this Ophi is cheerfully humming to himself as he walks around, twirling a small object in his hand]

Who: Everyone
Where: The arena
When: Day 165, morning
What: A Game

[The bright vibrant call of a horn echoes through the caves today, calling all blanks to the arena. Those who listen closely as they go might be able to hear the sound of feet beating the ground in pursuit, an unfamiliar howl, and the sound of dogs—true dogs, and not those yapping runts that Soldier calls dogs—baying at their prey.

Upon entering the arena, they look upon a statue of a woman with a bow and arrow clutched in hand. The arrow is notched, aimed at the entry to the arena, looking as though it could let loose and pierce the heart of any hapless blank who would linger too long before entering. The statue's dress is simple, a short skirt and cloth draped across her shoulder, leaving her breast exposed.

On the top of the pedestal, high above the ground a large beast lays resting in wait for his master. His massive body curls easily about the statue's feet. Pitch black fur covers his sides as they heave in and out with the steady breath of his sleeping. His face is curled toward the statue, obscured by two giant paws.

As the blanks gather, the horn sounds again and the statue speaks out in a loud clear voice.]

Come, blanks of Sabra la Tau, the hunt has been delayed for far too long.

Suggestion Box! for those interested

Who: Lepus, Monoceros, any of you interlopers who typically wander past Bunnycorn territory
Where: Bunnycorn territory
When: Day 163, after breakfast
What: Breaking stuff Memories

[If there was anything so delicate as glass or china that had survived the previous purges of breakable objects, the number of memory berries currently in and around the Lepus dorms would make a very nice fruit bowl.

As it is, you could make a little tower out of them.

A little berry fortress.

and then stare at it.

and stare.

with absolute conviction that the forces inside that little fortress exist for the sole purpose of tearing out your heart.

Stupid memories.]

Who: Anyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 162, evening
What: Let’s play

[The sound of bleating goats attracts you to the arena. A new statue sits on the throne.]

Put those silly toys away and entertain me, blanks.

[There are 7 doors. Each door is in the colors of the respective partner teams.]

What: ..... bad choices?!


[if one walks by the Monoceros and Lepus dormitories, one may stumble upon Jimmy, and by stumble upon I mean stumble upon, because he's making fantastic progress through the alcohol he discovered stashed away by Badger Almaz one of the others, and he's doing so lounging outside. like you do. there's also a likelihood he doesn't remember anything about the concept of alcohol poisoning. so that's fun. do you approach y/n]

Who: Bunnycorn & company

What: Brunch, bearbees, blue paint and a beebat

[Monoceros Kitchen

> Examine

That's Van! He's usually here earlier than this, but it looks like he brought breakfast as usual.

Van's wings. We don't see them often, but they're really huge! . . . and they shed all over the place. How can he move around a room this size with things that big?

Van's hair sure is looking more blue today.
Wait. Since when did Van start dying his hair? And why blue? And why with paint?

Mmm, roasting bearbee. Always a delicious way to start the day. Those look a bit more mangled than usual, but they still smell good.

Van's shirt and cape. Looks like he left them on the counter when he came in. The cape's folded strangely . . . wait, did it just move?]
