Who: Anybody!
Where: In front of Cetus dorms
When: Day 251, evening
What: Aftermath for Cetus! Also Shinjiro hanging out and being a crazypants.

[welp that sure was a game. At least Cetus is back at the dorm now. Though, Thumper has elected to hobble-pace outside the dorm doors, with Headmonster out and especially monstery looking. If you get too close, you might get bit or gored.]

That's the last goddamn time anyone on this team dies.

Who: Feathers, anyone wandering by
Where: The riverbanks by the cove
When: Day 245,
What: Picking up the pieces

[Braving leeches, lizards, and unknown horrors of the deep shallows, a Pavo is knee-deep in the river, salvaging what's left of their bridge. A yellow flower (that has definitely seen better days) is still tucked into the front pocket of her overalls.]

Ahh, it really is completely broken . . . can we even make rope like this?

Who: ???
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 244, later afternoon --- ?
What: dundunduuuun

WHO: FUCKING SOLDIER MAN IT'S A PARTY
WHERE: THE ARENA
WHEN: DAY 243, EVENING
WHAT: GAME 149

A'IGHT BITCHES WHO'S READY TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!

((MINGLE
FOR EVERYONE WHO DIDN'T RUN AWAY))

Who: Monster Hunter, whoever
Where: Orion
When: Day 233, evening
What: memory-taking gets ever more moody and quiet

[It is nighttime, and thus it is indoors-time for many. There's been a new pile of memories on the table since yesterday, but right now Wolfwood is ignoring them in favour of sharpening a piece of bone. Ignoring the hell out of them.]

Who: Orion and visitors
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 232, bright and early
What: Oh hey, wasn't there a note around here somewhere? It must have fallen on the floor.

[Has some water on the fire and is standing against the counter in the kitchen, staff cradled in the crook of his elbow and face and hand bruised, waiting for it to boil.]

[Watched pots and all that.]

Who: WHOEVER
Where: Lake
When: Day 231, evening
What: Obnoxious Cepheus Fishing

And if I had one wish
I'd wish for a fish
I insist upon fish for my wish

I'll sing and whine if then I could dine
On something as delish as a fish

I could beg for them to jump into my lap
Or I could blow it off and take a nap
I could be more clever and use a net
But they'd eat right through it I bet

Oh fish why must you be so tricksie~
I just want to eat you little fishie~

Who: You!
Where: The cove
When: Day 230, later afternoon
What:
*If you walk past the cove, you'll see a sign decorated with skulls and crossbones. If you read the sign, it says:

"Ahoy, mateys. After swashbuckling your way to a title, have you found living it 'tis not quite the adventure you'd hoped? Sail down to Anchor's Swap Meet to parlay your jumbled title for another. Sixteen out of sixteen men on a dead man's chest agree you'll have a whale of a time!"

*Next to the sign is a Very Sea Man in a pirate hat.*

Who: Orion and anyone out and about
Where: The mushwood forest
When: Day 227, afternoon
What: A lumber-jacking we go!

We should just bring extra this time. We have a place to keep it in the new dorm.

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere!
When: Day 227, morning
What: moooooorning report

[ a new, peaceful, Game-free morning dawns (or lights up) in Sabra La Tau. ]

[ what are YOU doing today? ]

(( POST OF ALL TRADES, comment with locations in titles, etc.! ))

Who: PARTY WITH PAVO
Where: South of the southernmost dorms, just as the torchlight begins to fade
When: Day 225, late morning onward
What: Bathtime :D :D

[While not quite the same kind of rumble as an earthquake, there's definitely something happening south of the dorms today; something that almost sounds like a small explosion, to those familiar with such things.

Following shortly after is the most curious thing — a cloud that billows from the explosion's epicentre, travelling out and around before dissipating. But not dust and debris . . . in fact, any even moderately close example will tell you it's damp.

. . . and . . . warm?

Investigation further south will reveal what was once a rather unremarkable gully. Now, it's filled with a furor of activity as blanks (most in purple) and giant ants work together, raising walls around the densest patch of steam, manoeuvring beams into place for the roof. For so much preparation, the event itself barely takes more than a few hours, leaving a wooden structure where there was none before.

And inside? Inside, my fine fellows, is a little slice of paradise.]

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 223, afternoon 
What:  Masquerade~ Paper faces on parade. Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you~

[The arena is dim today, the light of the torches giving way to a shimmering sort of half-light as one approaches. The ambiance is more that of twilight than dawn, and it flatters the smiles on the statue of the Twins high above. Tiny white lights flicker and disappear in the air, swaying and dancing like fireflies, but to any who examine them closely, they seem to lack substance.]

[What stands in the rest of the arena, however, remains a mystery- for towering to an improbable height near the foot of the stairs is a gate of ornate iron scrollwork, and the wall attached encircles the arena, blocking off the space closest to the statue. Lanterns of colored paper and whimsical metal shapes have been hung from the top of it, adding a splash of color- here Cepheus purple, there Hydra green, and all the teams represented in their turn. From above the gates, there rings out a voice that is pleasant and more than a little amused.]

A pleasant evening to you, little blanks. I trust you've had word from Ophiuchus? Do prepare yourselves accordingly. I've arranged a game for you, and my dear sister has agreed to help me put it on.

Sign in | Mingle | Game start- dance floor, food, reflecting pool. | Ophi enters- The catwalk, Two truths and a lie, costume contest. | Status report | Endgame | Memories

((OOC- Please sign in with your team and character name if you're playing. Also, before you do, make sure you've filled out this.))

Who: Anyone
Where: The northeastern tunnels
When: Day 222, evening
What:

[It is sometime as the torches begin truly dimming and even the well lit areas by the cove become a struggle to see. The evening is peaceful as it can be, most of the creatures grazing or hunting anything smaller than itself...

When almost at once, as if obeying some unseen or unheard signal, creatures great and small take on a stance of panic and flee towards the south.

It is merely moments after that when the entire area lights up with a luminance greater than daylight, radiating from the northeast. It darkens slowly, fading to a mere glow in the distance, casting along the great cavern.]

Who: Orion, Cetus, interlopers!
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 219, evening
What: TEAM DISCUSSIONS

Team meeting, guys! There's a few things I want to talk about.

[Don't mind the rabbit ears and tail o/]

Who: Monster Hunter, whomever.
Where: at the dorms, near the water
When: Day 217, dinnertime.
What: memories and food

[When life sucks, and you've spent the past few days trying to cope with that, and murdercave just keeps on happen' anyway, there is only one solution. Which is why Chaz is tending to a fire in a large dugout pit, for barbecue. Inside the pit are also the fruit of the labors of Orion: two shrets, butchered and marinating in herbs and a bit of blood, several fish rubbed with a pinch of salt and onions, and more.

They may not be able to stop murdercave, and they'll be gathering for a few days to make up for all the food today, but they can sure as hell have one good meal to make up for the past week or so.]

[ memories. ]

Who: Emil, Mitsuru, whoever is likely to be around Orion
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 216, a bit post-game
What: WHAT IS THIS IN OUR JOURNAL >(

[Someone very cranky is stalking jerkily downstairs with just his vest on, sans shirt- and that done sloppily, as though in a hurry. He has the journal open to a particular page.]

What is this?

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 216, high noon
What: :D

[As the light in the caverns rises to its apex, normal Blank and Ophiuchus alike can hear the call of the arena. Anyone who arrives there will see Mirror's silvery statue gleaming in the torchlight, her statue's face curved in a pleasant smile.

Sixteen circular glass buildings are arranged in a semi-circle by her feet; anyone peeking inside can see basic furnishings but not much else. Ten more rectangular rooms are arranged on the opposite side; however, these cannot be seen into. And in the middle of both groups of buildings is a pleasant picnic set out on black tablecloths with gold, silver, and bronze place settings. There's also plenty of food laid out for any Ophi members who show, but none for the regular blanks.

Also worrying might be the large black box at the end of the Ophi picnic. That can't be good.]

So many bad feelings in the air. Perhaps you would enjoy a little game of revenge~?

Who: Whoever's around
Where: Orion
When: Day 215, noon
What: De-hiatus

[BANG BANG BANG Orion, someone's knocking on your door.]

[Memory taking goes here.]

Who: Lyvus, anyone, A HERD OF MINI HORN PINATAS
Where: Lyvus area
When: Day 215, post endgame
What: Memories, waifu, pinatas, oh my.

[Brass is coming back from the Arena with a tray of grey glazed biscuits.]

[With a lineface.]

[And a HERD of mini-Horn Pinatas hopping along several feet behind them.]

[Yes, he knows they're there. He's trying to ignore them.]

Who: Whoever
Where: All over the place
When: Day 214, afternoon
What: Parrot!!

[After some good fights and brotherly bonding time, Parrot looks like he just took a roll in mud (and maybe thrown around a few times). It's almost enough to cover up the week-old blood stains on his uniform. He's cheerfully wandering around and gathering mysterious, edible looking plants to be brought home for testing though]

Ooh... another blue mushroom.
