[time to get to work!]

Who: You
Where: The Arena
When: Day 252, evening
What:

[It's been quite a long time since anyone was drawn in by this particular call, to a dark Arena filled with colored torches. And yet, for those of you who remember it, there's something a bit off; and Game Master himself seems unnaturally quiet today...]

Who: ALL THE PEOPLE
Where: ALL THE PLACES
When: Day 251, morning
What:

[So after the most hilarious first four days in Murdercave, during which time there were two heartgames and fire and mindrape and shankings and terapedes, a new Dolphin is finally getting a tour of the less insanity-ridden aspects of Sabra.

There may also be attempts to catch some fish :|a]

Who: Edge, anyone
Where: many places
When: Day 251, early morning
What: exploration

[A new Ophiuchus is out this morning, being shown around the place by a slightly older one. Who just keeps on talking.]

Who: Xavier + YOU
Where: Lepus
When: Day 249,
What:

[stepping into the Lepus commonroom with a bright but dazed smile]

Hello! Could I trouble you all for a minute?

Who: Doumeki, Beardog and anyone
Where: Outside Ursa
When: Day 246, morning
What: and then he came back


[one exhausted Ursa is slumped against the side of his dorm covered in dirt, not that you could tell with the brown uniform]

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: Pecha and you!
Where: Any old place
When: Day 245, aaaall daaay
What: So I hear you like aftermath posts!

[currently, there is an Ophi who seems to have escaped the majority of maiming and whatnot wandering around the area. Possibly also looking at the changes in the place]

Uwaa... pretty destructive...

Who: Dawn, Beardog, you
Where: down south, heading Canis-wards
When: Day 245, morning
What: dehiatus!

[After a brief pause to adjust to the torchlight after all the unrelenting dark of the caves, Dawn lengthens her stride as she hurries back to hearth and dorm.]

Finally.

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 245, morning
What: We all need more aftermath posts right?

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 244, evening
What: There sure was a raptocalypse 8(

[As evening falls, it's time to deal with those pesky bloodstains, debilitating injuries and frostbite. Cheer up kids, chicks dig scars!]




((OOC: Feel free to abuse this post for all your aftermath threading needs :|b))

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

[where ever you are outside, you may get the distinct feeling that SOMETHING is watching you :)]

Who: whoever's hanging out at beardog
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 244, midday-ish?
What: memories and whatnot

*Anyone wandering through the Canis common area would probably notice a plate of delicious memory nachos on the table! And they might also notice Anchor nearby, eying a decently-sized pile of berries*

...May as well take them now, considering.

Who: Anybody
Where: The river
When: Day 244, morning
What: A floater

[Body in the water! Well, it's probably just Lucky again. Considering all the yellow and orange bobbing gently with the waves, it's a pretty good bet that it is Lucky! Floating face down. In the river.]

[How's your morning?]

Who: Parrot, anyone
Where: All over :U
When: Day 243, morning
What: Visitiiing!


[This Ophi, armed with a cape and a squeaky hammer, has escaped the Ophi dorms to make his rounds-- well, no, he's just going around visiting people. Cetus, Pyxis, and hydracula, especially.]

(OOC: I'll be poking at and picking up both posts for the rest of the week. Feel free to tag around and/or hit me if I skipped over you)

Who: Jinx and others
Where: Idk not exactly close to the river
When: Day 241, noon
What: CABIN FEVER

[okay, so a couple of days of rest and not totally great but still good sleep after an epic return is surely enough time for a young Vulp to wander around unsupervised, right?

... right?]

--this place is huge compared to the East Block.

Who: Beardog
Where: Bear dorms?
When: Day 239, evening
What: trauma, memories, possibly more trauma.

[well, those berries sure have been sitting there for a while haven't they?]

... right. So.

Since this last game was... a bit rough... maybe some memory-catch-ups to help calm things down?

Who: Blanks!
Where: Arena!
When: Day 239, late morning
What: Game!

Why, who could be calling you to the arena today? The call seems familiar, but a bit strange, too - a little bit warped. When you arrive, there are eight doors, color-coded according to partner teams, and on the throne is someone you might not have seen running a game for quite some time!

It's Waterbearer, and... he looks like absolute shit. As well as featuring the sort of skinniness you'd only see on someone with severe digestive parasites, his normal pose is different- the clay jar, sporting several hairline cracks now, is toppled over at his knees, water gushing everywhere. His hands hang limply (or as limply as a statue can hang) at his sides, dripping with water that seems unusually muddy.

The statue seems to have been damaged in places - as though someone with very strong fingers had gouged out parts of the statue's face, throat and arms. Everywhere one of these gouges can be seen, thick, muddy water drips out and onto the arena floor.

Unsurprisingly, he's crying - it sounds different than his usual sniffling, though. This is the kind of crying that borders on outright hysteria. In fact, forget the borders. It is hysterical psychosobbing.

“W... wh... why? I cuh-cuh-can't- h-he's ... I c-can't get him out, I c-can't-
I can't-

I can't

I-it's not fair, i-it's not right, I can't, I can't, but m-maybe, maybe if...”

And then his crying just dissolves into an anguished wail.

Around you, the color-coded doors unlock with a soft click.

Who: Game goes
Where: The Arena
When: Day 238, Afternoon
What: A game! :)

[The arena today has had a large section of it walled off, apparently. Where the ruins normally lie has been blocked off with a wall that’s much too high to see over, and any attempts to sneak a peek will send people tumbling down or leave them with a headache (should they attempt to use magical methods).

The throne is filled with King’s majestic self, and there is a small buffet table with the fixings for simple sandwiches before it; sliced and roasted lizard meat, a few types of cheese, hearty bread, and more cabbage than anyone really cares to see. There’s also a large tureen of punch.]

Who: Doumeki and anyone
Where: Out where lizards are
When: Day 237, morning
What: target practice


[now that he has his bow back, he has to learn how to use it... and at the moment he can't hit the broad side of a fatty lizard]
