Who: Kazuha, anyone in Ophi dorm.

[There is a new girl in the main Ophi meeting room, flipping through the dossier of Blanks, looking vaguely annoyed.]

Who: YOU
Where: The Arena
When: Day 171, midmorning
What:

I heard a rumor that being light of foot is the best trait to have. Well, and those that place their trust in the sureness of stones are headed down the safest path.

[ Horn's statue sits on the throne, head tilted, looking up. If you follow its gaze you will see two rope ladders hanging down from what looks like ... well, you can't really tell as it's pretty far up. But it might be a bridge, a platform? Something. ]

Speed, speed, heading forward as fast as you can! A reward that can be tucked away is waiting for you, perhaps. But the slowest will be left behind, or maybe they will find themselves further down ... how do you feel about fortresses? All walls should be scaled!

I heard a rumor impediments can be violent.

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The barracks
When: Day 170, early morning
What:

[Quietly, before most midbosses are even stumbling out of bed to seek out coffee and food, a great snake tastes the air contemplatively. It seems to be listening to something just out of any normally audible range.]

Sssso... it beginsss thisss way.

[And Ophiuchus may begin to awaken to a faint rumbling, and the various sub-units will wake up to a new set of changes.]

Return to the altar sssservants of the Judgessss. I have a tasssk and a tool for your usssse.

Who: ANYONE
Where: On top of Lepus
When: Day 170, morning
What: GOING FISHING

[Today, if you are supernatural, spiritual or just particularly evil... you may smell the most delicious smell you have ever smelled. It is your favorite thing to eat ever, the best way it has ever been cooked. It makes your mouth water and your stomach rumble. It is powerful, almost like whoever is cooking it is determined to fill the entire massive cavern with the scent of this one favorite thing of yours.





Should you track it down, you will find a giant, metal construct rising up from Dingbatticus... it looks nothing more than a giant, metal fishing pole, a rope suspended from it... and tied to a giant metal hook is Watanuki.

Below him, is a fairly obvious trap. If you even notice it over the OMG TASTY THING!!!!!]

Yessss, GOOOOOD! That is it! DESPAIR AND BECOME EVEN MORE DELICIOUS!!!!

Who: Orion
Where: ORIONY PLACE
When: Day 169, Evening
What:

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

GIVE JOY! FOOLBLANKS!

ZIM IS HERE TO FAVOR YOU WITH A TASK! A MONUMENTAL TASK FULL OF ZIM-BENEFITS! Making it the most IMPORTANT thing you do with your sad pathetic lives.

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: Lacerta, Cygnus, Monoceros, Pyxis
Where: The Arena
When: Day 165, Evening
What: Game for losers

[The call goes out once again, this time only to a few of the blanks and when they step into the arena the torches have been muted. In the edges of the shadow stands a potentially familiar mansion, and if you look closely a side-door has been opened, do you dare to take a peek inside?]

[When the headless statue speaks, the voice is cracked and uneven.]

You poor Blanks, put on a show for me, won't you?

[Anyone sick from the current epidemic will find the symptoms muted to the early part of stage 1 with just a cough and a headache.]

Who: whoever!
Where: Outside the bunnycorn dorms
When: Day 161, eveningish
What: ..... bad choices?!


[if one walks by the Monoceros and Lepus dormitories, one may stumble upon Jimmy, and by stumble upon I mean stumble upon, because he's making fantastic progress through the alcohol he discovered stashed away by Badger Almaz one of the others, and he's doing so lounging outside. like you do. there's also a likelihood he doesn't remember anything about the concept of alcohol poisoning. so that's fun. do you approach y/n]

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. ))

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: Any
Where: By a WALL
When: Day 157, morning
What:

THERE!

[There is a wall. It wasn't there last night. It doesn't really start or stop anywhere interesting, and certainly is not rooted in any wall. In fact you could, just as easily walk around it.

It IS huge, though. With a small stepladder, and a rather comfortable looking cushion perched on the top of it...]

Crude... but it just might work.

Who: Chaz, whoever.
Where: Outside of Bunnycorn
When: Day 151, eaaarly morning.
What:

[Chaz is being followed by Jace into the area in front of Monoceros. Chaz is carrying a basket and he's knocking on the door.

Mysterious!]

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: Badger, Lightning Rod, Pikachu, Whoever!
Where: From a convenient tunnel near the commons!
When: Day 145, morning
What: RUNNIN'

[HEY IT'S SOME MISSING FOLKS]

[HEY IT'S SOME GIANT FLYING DINOSAUR BURSTING THROUGH THE CAVE WALL]

[HEY WE ARE RUNNING LIKE HELL TO THE LAKE]

--I DON'T THINK WE LOST IT YET!

Who: Bunnycorn
Where: Bunnycorn
When: Day 142, evening
What: They really want an arm and a leg in these games these days...

[carrying Simi home bridal style]

That was really too much...

Who: Bones, Surgeon
Where: Outside the Canis dorms
When: Day 140, early evening
What: Doctor doctor. There is, in fact, a doctor muttering to himself.

I suppose today wasn't completely bad. Except for these damn terrible living conditions. We might as well be in the stone age.
