When: Day 220, later afternoon

[knocking at Cygnus]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 217, mid morning
What: Good Ends

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is that strange darkened landscape again...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation between up and down, walls or even the floor. You can only see the throne in the far off distance, and two pathways each covered with a lush carpet: Dark Blue, and Black with silver trimming. One bears the sigil of the faithful dog and the other the sinuous forms of two serpents wrapped around a staff, 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 a cheese and dip platter.]

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

Who: Anyone in the area
Where: The Fields
When: Day 215, early evening
What: HOMEWARD BOUND

[Torchlight starts to dim at the Fields. It's not from the north but the southern most corner where a guy in very dirty pink wanders in. Shaken and exhausted, he mumbles to himself]

Can't stop... almost there...


((small note for the observant, his shadow is kirin-shaped
- Back at Cygnus))

Who: At least one person from each unit!

What: Deliveries! . . . is that a puddle?

[Pavo is coming on their FIRST FOREMAN TASK to deliver bags full of delicious building materials to you! To YOUR TEAM!

Which . . . also gives them a bit of an unfortunate chance to take a good look around.]

That's . . . really strange.


((If you comment, put your team name in the subject line! Otherwise we will start a thread with your name, feel free to hop in.

Inside the bags are:
- Sugar cubes, a whole lot of them.
- Graham crackers and ginger bread wrapped in kerchiefs of your colours.
- Frosting in a small tin.
- Gumdrops
- Green coloured coconut shavings.
- A small note inviting one or two of your team to Delphinus for talking and possibly learning about potato pancakes.))

Who: You
Where: At the heart of the city, before the great throne
When: ???
What: A Game

[As your vision sharpens, so does the laughter.

Upon the throne sits a statue of Kokoli; the Masked One, the Laughing Liar, the Fool’s Fool. He remains still, and yet his mask seems to shift whenever you glance away. On his lap is Rota, the Pale Maiden, the Death-before-Life. Something seems a little off in their expressions. Hers, a little vacant, distant. His seems more dangerous each time he appears. It seems they were conversing.]

"I'm s-still not sure . . ."

"Don’t worry, babe. You’re gonna knock 'em dead."

Where: DREAMWORLD oooh
When: Day 197, night
What: Dreampost!

[I dunno about you, but it's been one hell of a week for this noodle. He's not in critical condition anymore, but his grip on reality is more tenuous than usual tonight. Therefore, it's time to go wandering.

Whatever you may be dreaming about -- nightmare, fantasy, Old Sabra, something in between -- you feel a light prick at the back of your consciousness, and then a widening. Even the non-dreamwalkers can move about tonight in this hazy shared reality. But be aware that other things lurk in the deepest recesses of tonight's mindscape, especially with so many restless alter-egos on the move...]

(( OOC: It's dreampost time again! Here's a repost of the guidelines from last time, with a few changes:

A) If you comment to the post, you're hosting a dream of your own. People commenting to you are part of the dream, whether as a figment of your imagination or as a conscious 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 Aeris are not commenting to everyone. In fact, I'm going to sleep in about an hour and a half.
F) If you want a magical toy surprise (and have not already been Pillar'd, lake'd, etc.), then PM Aeris or Watanuki. :) :) :) ))
