Sabra La Tau

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: Delphinus (and whoever decides to drop by)
Where: Dining table
When: Day 158, morning
What: a night of no sleep and desire for caffeine


[laid out on the table is various portions of a Shiki puzzle, at different stages of completion. Her head, shoulders, hands, and feet are all mostly complete... but now...]

At least the texture of her shirt and and skirt are different...

Who: Ophiuchus!
Where: Ophi dorms
When: Day 154, evenin'
What: Puttin' bitches to WORK

[today in ophi, there is a small dumb looking hydra--]

Sitting on the dining room table. It let out a shrill, but pleasant cry, beckoning the black serpents' attention.

"Ophiuchus~!" the three heads sang, "I've got the perfect story to cure your boredom!"

On the table, there sat fourteen individual cards. On each, a short rhyme was written.

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Inside the Ophiuchus barracks
When: Day 153, evening
What: :/

[a little boy is rolling an orange up and down the table, sulking]

Twenty days now, what's the point of being "chosen" if normal Blanks get them three times faster?

Who: Kurogane + any
Where: Everywhere!
When: Day 153, early morning.
What: Patrollin', hatin'

[there is a huge, hulking Ophi out and about early today, with an equally huge sword strapped to his back. he's not using it just yet, however. Just making his rounds and looking around for the moment.]

... s'quiet.

(( Moontime mingle! I will probably not reply to every comment. ))

Who: New girl, anyone in Ophi
Where: Ophi dorms
When: Day 150, morning
What: INTRO

[A new girl has wandered out of her room. Her attention is currently caught by the writing on the wall]

To keep order as Arbitrators and Enforcers?

Who: All units
Where: The Arena
When: Day 148, late evening
What: Game 97, endgame

[Far, far later into the night, the torches dim, and once again the lids of the stone boxes will not be moved.]

Vulpecula and Lepus, Canis and Lynx, Corvus and Cygnus. Pavo and Hydra and Monoceros, Lacerta and Delphinus, Orion and Cepheus and Pyxis.

Ophiuchus.

You have played well. I bid you rest.

[Shadows spread like cracks over the stone table, cast by four wizened, stunted bushes, the fruit on their branches soft grey in what remains of the arena light. The blanks for whom the fruit grows ripe know instinctively which is theirs.]

[For all your continuation needs.]

Who: All units
Where: The Arena
When: Day 148, late evening
What: Game 97


[The call that echoes out from the arena this evening has no voice human ears can hear. Some few may hear a whistle, high and sweet. For all others, the call comes in how the torches of the main caverns flicker and flare in the sound's wake, sending long shadows dancing over the cavern walls.

The lights steady and dim. Colours fade and only one shadow remains, stretching unerringly, no matter how one moves, to the arena's entrance.]

Come fox and hare, come dog and cat, come crow and noble swan. Come hundred-eyes, come many-heads, come single crowning horn. Come lizard sharp and dolphin swift, come hunter proud and royal crowned and ship's unerring guide.

Come serpent dark, and sheathe your fangs; there is no need for them to shine.

I wish to play a game.

Who: Watanuki + anyone
Where: Baths!
When: Day 148, early morning
What: Morning bath! And moontime mingly post.

[after the mess that was yesterday, there's a noodle trying vainly to bathe himself. getting soap and ... actually getting into the bath without running into things is proving to be stupid hard without his glasses.]

-- ow! S-since when has that been there?

(( Sleep! I'll be back to pick stuff up later. ))

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 147, afternoon
What:

[Soldier’s statue is on the throne in its usual naked glory. At the base of his throne is a large screen, on that screen a small world, and in that small world, two demons. Right now, they’re looming over a village.]

HAHAHA, CHECK THIS SHIT OUT! THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I EVER HAD WHILE (SOMEWHAT) SOBER. SEE, WHAT I DID WAS, I TURNED DOWN RAZORFANG AND THE LITTLE LEPUS DEMON’S BRACERS, SO THEY CAN HAVE A DEMON EXPLOSION BATTLE!

FIRST OFF, A LITTLE DEMON-STRATION! THEN YOU CAN PLACE YOUR BETS.

CARNIVAL GAMES

Hydracula & Allen
Bunnycorn & Watanuki
Cepheon & Aeris
Delpavo & Rayflo
Corvus, Lynx, Canis, & Razzy
Pygnus, Mao, & Nora

SO BASICALLY! This is going to be turn-based, and each individual team can play one carnival game per turn (though depending on the pace of the game that may change). Katou is running the minigames; Nora is running Lacerta's wacky adventures, and Mao is taking care of ticket-taking number-crunching. We will sabraping between turns.

Who: ANTS ... and Blanks I guess.
Where: The commons area to the west of Pyxis
When: Day 144, Late
What: :D

[It's pretty far from civilization, but a double column of giant cave ants marching in WILL attract attention.

The first of the colony seem to establish perimeters, cutting or biting lines in the ground.. Others come after, dragging blocks and wood...

There is some large scale construction going ... and happening fast.]

HA HA! Easy on the west wall there! Solid! No holes!
