Sabra La Tau

Who: Anyone
Where: By the lake
When: Day 181, early afternoon
What: Hauntings

[If you have any supernatural senses or is supernatural yourself, you'll find a woman in Monoceros white by the lake today. Strangely enough she's not wearing the standard Monoceros uniform though... more noticeable might be that she's crying and yelling at you though.]

Why won't anyone look at me?! Hey, you, don't ignore me too!

[If you are a completely normal human though... you only felt how something cold just passed through you and maybe got a shiver up your spine.]

Who: Newbies
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 181, noon
What: Exploring

[Well, someone moved on pretty quickly. A couple new-looking guys in pink hoodie-tunics are wandering around, getting their bearings.

One of them isn't strictly human, if that sort of thing pings you.]

Who: (?・・)σ you?
Where: Ophiuchus
When: Day 181, moooorning
What: Haha, I wonder!

[long stairs are long or maybe short--either way, new Ophi making his way to the main room!]

Oya? This is a bit less than I was expecting.

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The Ophi Dorms
When: Day 180, early morning
What:

[Again, it is far before most are awake when the snake, sated and sleepy with its own offerings of meat recently, that it lifts its head, listening again.]

It changesssss already. Sssso be it.

[The dorms rumble again, those who wake up, all find their clothing and surroundings a little different..]

((OOC: This month, Uroboros jumps ahead of Uraeus by one point! Leaving Caduceus as last in place. We start a new activity period! Any trinkets you may have acquired as a reward you keep, however basic luxuries and levels of comfort have changed!))

Who: Teal
Where: Ophi training room.
When: Day 180

Who: Anyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 169, Late Morning

[Wherever you are, if you're in a public place there is an unfamiliar Ophiuchus coming up to you to inspect what you're doing] Hello, what do we have here? ♥

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Ophi Dorms
When: Day 167, evening
What: Newbie!

[there is a very pretty sparkly new ophi standing in the main room, reading the words carved into the wall] How grand. ♥

((pls read this!))

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: Ophiuchi
Where: Ophi dorms
When: Day 165, noon-ish
What: The return of Marla Mason.

[Ophi might hear quick, light footsteps moving through the dorms towards the hot springs.]

Who: Anyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 164, afternoon
What: Post-sick Ophiuchus has cabin fever

[River is doing his patrol rounds, katana on his shoulder. Both hands, hooked in his pockets, are bandaged up - not covered is the red pattern up one side of his neck and cheek. It looks like his skin cracked, fissured, and is now scarring. But hey, he's healing!]

Who: Himiko, anyone
Where: everywhere
When: Day 163, morning
What: patrolling!

[Himiko is patrolling! On the lookout for signs of any rule breaking. Mostly, she's just bored and trying to finish her rounds soon.]


((OOC: Generic mingle post.))

Who: Lyvus, Himiko
Where: Lynx
When: Day 162, early morning
What: Mirrornapping

[Hanging out at Lynx like a winner and practising letters, surely nothing will happen.]

Who: Everyone~
Where: Arena
When: Day 160, afternoon.
What: Finishing the deaging game.

[Once again, the call goes out; once again Mirror's statue stands tall and glittering in the arena.]

Has it been an educational day? I certainly hope so.


(( PARTICIPATING OPHI ping me for activity instructions. Activities will start at 9 EST and run until 11 EST max; re-aging and endgame will go up shortly after that. I will also have a standalone thread for touching people who are interested in being mongled. ))

[there is one rough-looking Lynx tiny emerging from the cave exits]

Ah...

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Ophi dorms --> Uroboros subdorms
When: Day 159, late morning.
What: Tiiiiny Ophis.

[There's a tiny ninja attempting to sneak back down into the Ophi dorms without drawing too much attention to himself. Because being this tiny is embarrassing.

... this would have gone better if he hadn't tripped on the stairs going down.]

-- ow! Dammit!

Who: Cygnus
Where: Cygnus
When: Day 158, afternoon

[Tiny girl in black is knocking on Cygnus door.]

Cygnus, let me in! You are doing thing for me.

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Ophiuchus Barracks
When: Day 157, evening
What: Pay day

( Memories )

[Besides Kariya's memory is a simple, single envelope. The dinner is simple, but wholesome. Fatty lizard steaks, mashed potatoes and butter. And some sort of odd leafy, steamed vegetable with it.

This may or may not be more interesting than the fact that the coffee pot is empty. That there is a chair pushed up to the table that the coffee pot was on.

And upon further examination every piece of metal including a fair amount of the stock weapons in the training room are missing.]

Who: Meridian! Orion . . . I guess if anyone drops by.
Where: Orion
When: Day 158, mid-morning
What: being injured sucks.

[ How far is it from Meridian's room to the kitchen? Can she make it without anyone noticing? Just how stealthy is limping? ]

Who: Peacocks. Stealthy peacocks. And anyone who notices the peacocks are not as stealthy as they wish to appear.
Where: Pyxis/Cygnus cavern
When: Day 157, late afternoon
What: Tribute


[It's been two days of mad planning. The walls of Pavo's common room have been covered with skcetch after sketch, debates on position, size, rates of flow and whether clockwise or counterclockwise motion is more visually appealing. Materials were tested and retested, soaked, broke, stained and drained. Too excited for sleep, trips were made in the latest of hours; to the forge, to the mushroom forest, to the dimly-lit river's edge.

'Measure twice, cut once' was never so thoroughly applied. Every board was planned before the first log fell. Every ounce of metal accounted for.

But it's today, today that it all comes together. Holed away in a dead-end tunnel so conveniently close to the river's falling hiss, boards are cut, holes drilled. Conversation comes in bursts of whispers, laughter muffled in a sleeve, or cut short with a pensive look to the tunnel's first turn. There are no deadlines to keep, but the press of time is motivation enough, the itch in the fingers and the heart of how long has it been, lifetimes almost, since something last came alive under their hands.


. . . which, even all together, may not even begin to explain why a pair of Pavo are carefully rolling a giant wooden wheel down to the far side pf Pygnus's fertile ground, to where an odd mix of gears, two chiselled stones, and a triangle-shaped rest have been placed carefully at the river's mouth.]
