Sabra La Tau

\/\/h0: all
Where: the arena
Time: Day 101 evening
What:


The Arena today is not as it usually is. The light coming down is only in patches, as if being shown through a decaying screen. Where the light touches, the ruined buildings stand exactly as they once must have: tall, proud and glistening. But there are patches of darkness as well, much darker simply than the absence of light. Where these touch the scenery, it becomes faded and translucent- like a tapestry partially unwoven.

It's hard to tell if the throne is empty or not. Looking straight on, there is no Judge to be seen, but maybe out of the corner of your eye, if you're not quite paying attention, there will be a woman with a scarf on her head and a loom sitting in her lap. Even unable to look her straight on, her face is beautiful, if wrinkled and she's smiling gently.

In front of her, there are twelve large looms, each strung up with the teams' respective colors.

Who: Anyone!

When: Day 87, Night.
What: Area of Effect

[Wherever you are, it's possible that very suddenly, in a sweep, the whole world is in black and white. If you're next to them, you just might be seeing souls, chained to wherever they've been locked down without anyone ever seeing or hearing them.

There's one thing in color, though, if you're at the lake - one white-haired Lacerta boy's bright red left eye.]

Who: Van, Lepus, Cepheus, and anyone else who wanders by

Where: Everywhere.
When: Day 85, morning.
What:

This morning, several teams wake to find their front doors open, and in the rooms of certain teamamtes, beds that have obviously been slept in. But there is a conspicuous lack of teamates. And as far as any of your senses can tell...

...they simply stopped existing the moment they left the door of your dorm.

Who: Everyone!
Where: The Arena.
When: Day 84, afternoon.
What: Game~

[A familiar silver statue stands alone in the Arena this afternoon. Something seems off about the metal, however. Its shine is as bright as ever, but your reflections seem oddly warped and split. Even moreso than ever. Mirror’s silvery, fragmented voice drifts through the arena; she appears to be talking to herself.]

Who: Cepheus, anyone
Where: Outside Cepheus dorms (initially)
When: Day 79, commencing post-Beauty game
What: SWEET RELIEF :|

...alright, guys, go on in.

Who: YOU (=
Where: Arena
When: Day 79, Morning
What: GAME

[You find the arena littered with butterflies, per usual, and while there is no seating provided, there floor is carpeted with cool, springy grass. There are also twelve blackboards placed against a long, white wall.]

Good morning, everyone. Please wait while everyone gathers. I understand that lately many of the games have caused great stress, while this is, perhaps, to be expected, I think it is fair to allow for breaks as well. Today's game will be simple, if challenging, and there will be no cause for harm, nor any punishments.

Make yourselves comfortable, we will begin shortly.

When: Day 78, afternoon
What: The pie is a lie...

[someone has left a large, hot, delicious-smelling, if pretty lopsided-looking pie cooking near Delphinus's door. It appears to be filled with berries, and the crust is ground grain mixed with lizard fat -- might be a bit tart, but something a Blank could make with the know-how]

[The secret ingredients are trippy mushrooms, don't tell anyone]

When: Day 77 morning

My dear, my dear, you do seem to have a bad habit of going to pieces over things. Pull yourself together, why don't you? Buck up, my girl!

Yes yes, my dear, so you say. I'm sure we all quite believe you. And you need my help with this one, you do! Oh, I am so looking forwards -- or backwards, perhaps, is better? -- to this Game. I do hope they enjoy it, don't you? It's a simple game, after all, and one Mirror here is quite adept in.
