Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 180
What:

[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 five pathways each covered with a lush carpet: Pink, White, Brown, and two distinct shades of Blue. They bear the sigil of the graceful Swan, the majestic Unicorn, a the nimble Hare, the canny Dog and deft Dolphin 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 salted hard breads and a few jam filled pastries dusted with confectioners sugar.]

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

((OOC Note: As usual, those who run Judges may feel free to have them interact in sand form with the winners.))

Who: Pavo, Kurogane, those who wish to revel in awesome
Where: Outside Pavo
When: Day 179, late morning (also known as simply 'morning' to those who shun those too early times certain other individuals favour, and possibly known as 'noon' to those selfsame individuals)
What: Mission complete!

[The past two days, the members of Pavo have been far more reclusive than usual. Certainly, there's been the odd one running to and fro — peeking out of the common area near to Pyxis and Cygnus especially, hovering by Foreman's Mill until a hewn mushroom log comes drifting down the river, at which point, prize in hand, they scurry back to the underground tunnels connecting each common area to the others.

Periods of silence near the Pavo dorms have been broken, here and there, by the faint rasp of a saw, or pounds of a hammer. Sometimes, even fainter, there's even been the rasp of metal against bone.

But it's today, today, the promised day, when all their efforts have come together.

Today, just outside the dorms, in all its glory, their project sits complete.]

WHO: whoever's awake I DON'T KNOW, SOME ASSHOLES
WHERE: BY THE RIVER
WHEN: DAY 179 HANGOVER O'CLOCK
WHAT:

[It's not quite the call of a game, but you might just be drawn to the large fertile area downstream of the lake. There's a pack of corgis chilling here already, rolling around and chewing on things and doggie paddling about.]

A'r gath wedi sgrapo Joni bach.
