Sabra La Tau

Who: Anyone
Where: Monsterhunter
When: Day 286, post-game
What: a sparklejesus returns

[Someone is knocking on Cetus's door. It could be anyone, except for what they say next.]

Cetus! Cetus, is there anyone home? Please excuse me if there is not.

[Who else would apologise for thinking a dorm is empty?]

Who: Orion and whoever
Where: Orion dorms!
When: Day 285, afternoon
What: Memories and things

[So yesterday evening there was a game, and Crown came back with memories and a few other things. Today the memories are lined up on the failtastic table in Orion's common room, and next to them there's a small bottle of apple cider, as well as a chocolate bar. There was a TASTY APPLE too, but he's eating it now.]

Who: ALLLLLLL ANYYYY BLANKS
Where: ARENA
When: Day 284, laaate, a few hours before evening will hit
What: oh no who let the pokemon get into the alcohol

[THE CALL TO THE ARENA is...full of shrieks of several different Pokemon hooting their own names and having a damn good time. Also the occasional BANG BANG on a pot, but mostly because Pokemon do not understand kitchenware isn't an instrument.]

[WHEN YOU GET THERE you will see a table full of tasty drinks. Very sweet! How they got them is a mystery, but they are tasty! And also hella spiked with Absinthe]

[pikachu is holding a badly written and badly drawn sign:

Who: Bunnycorn
Where: Bunnytower
When: Day 283, post-game
What: Memories and things!

[Heading home tired and exhausted, but with memories this time.]

A full victory for Lepus, hooray!

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 283, Bright and goddamn early
What: :) :) :)

[There's that pull again; a sharp, icy tug at the pit of your gut. It feels as though it would be unwise to resist it.

The set up is much the same as yesterday. The lights are still dim, and shadows fall where none should. Flickers of motion follow the blanks all the way to the small circle of buildings at the throne's base; the doors are currently still shut tight.

Game Master's statue watches the blank's approach from beneath his hood.]

Welcome again, poor souls. Are you ready to begin anew?

As with yesterday, coming late and leaving early is absolutely acceptable. Just sign in so I can keep tabs on scoring easier :|b Also this is a list of people who have been missing since this game began.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 282, Late Afternoon
What: A game :)

[The pull today is insistent and excited, if soul-chilling as is usual for Game Master. Someone's eager to get started on whatever he has planned, it seems. The Arena, when blanks arrive, is also dimly lit as usual as well. However, something about the lighting seems a bit . . . odd. Shadows falling where there should be none, flickers of movement just at the boundaries of your vision.

Even stranger is the small circle buildings waiting at the foot of the throne when blanks first reach it. It isn't as though the buildings are strange in and of themselves, but there are only three of them. A rather unorthodox number considering the number of all the team, and even the paired partner sets.

In the center of the three buildings are a number of computer writing tablets.

Game Master sits in the throne, face hidden from view beneath his ever present hood.]

Welcome to you, blanks. Welcome, new and old alike back to this stadium of despair and triumph. Will you, I wonder, enjoy the game I have prepared for you today? Will you delight and take pride in the challenges conquered? Or will you, perhaps, despair and curse my name as you often have before?

Let us find out together, you blanks.

[So hey, there's a lot of tattoo kits going around today. Made your mark yet? Or you know, use this post for what you will.]

Who: June, Monsterhunter, people?
Where: Orion
When: Day 281, Late Morning
What: Bleeding on Orion's floor Memory talk

[There is a light knocking on Orion's door.]

Orion, is Crown in? This is June, I want to talk to him.

Who: ALL OF SOLDIER'S BROS (AND HOES)
Where: ARENA
When: DAY 281, MORNING
What:

[Oh no, not another game! The call isn't insistent in the same way as the last one, but it's definitely loud enough that you're probably not going to be able to go back to sleep. On the bright side, considering said call is a non-stop drum solo with the occasional burst of incoherently-slurred rap lyrics, you've got a good guess as to which Judge it is.]

BEER! TATTOOS! BEER AND TATTOOS. YOU HAVE UNTIL I FINISH MY DRUM SOLO! AND THAT'LL BE A FEW HOURS SO YOU CAN TAKE IT HOME TO YOUR LAZY-ASS TEAMMATES!

((Items from the fully stocked bar are fully removable! Tattoo kits for all, with provisions for difficult-to-tattoo non-human party members! You have until Wednesday, 3pm PST to submit your tattoos!))

Who: Parrot, anyone
Where: Everywhere 8U
When: Day 280, afternoon
What: SANTA (No, not you, Santa)

[After mind fixing shenanigans in Lacerta are done, Parrot has an idea. Screw resting. He's gone back to Ophi and now there's a Parrot, dressed in a Santa outfit, lugging a sack of goodies around Sabra. He may be knocking on doors too.]

Ho, ho, ho! Come get your candy!

[Okay, maybe he mixed up the seasons a bit]

((OOC: Sleep and work times. I'll pick up over the week))

Who: Tifa, anyone
Where: Dorm areas
When: Day 280, morning/post game
What: OBLIVIOUS

[Someone missed the game call today and is just out doing her usual thing. SURELY NOTHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED IN THE ARENA]

((Generic mingle. Abuse as you will)

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 280, morning
What: :) :) :)!!

[As soon as your torches relight -- or slightly before, is that even possible? -- Mirror's call tugs you out of your beds and towards the arena. For those of you who feel it, it's unusually persistent and difficult to resist today. Like a glass hook caught around your legs, pulling you along without caring much about your feelings on the matter.

Mirror's statue perches on her throne, the usual silver of her statue subtly altered. Glassy, almost translucent in areas, but still deeply reflective. More disturbing still is the layout in the arena today: a parody of the Good End celebrations you've seen for your teammates, with tall glass boxes replacing team banners and tables (marked in team colors) filled with nothing but plates of glass shards and bottles of clear vodka.

Except for Bunnycorn's table. They get (alcoholic) punch and nachos.]

Are you all here yet? I hope so. This is going to be fun.

[Mingle | Columns | Rules | Endgame | Memories]

Who: anyone
Where: the arena
When: Day 279, late afternoon
What: minigame

[The sound echoing out from the arena this afternoon is, at least, not as irritating as the car alarm Uraeus used last time. Once you get there, it's pretty easy to spot the large steel structure that's appeared in the middle of the space. Judging from the size of it, the fact that from this angle it's mostly an uninterrupted wall with one entrance in the centre of it... well, that sure does look like it might be a maze.

And Edge has just come out of it, crossing something out in the journal he's got with him. He looks kind of irritated, but then what's new?]

((Mingle / Instructions / Maze running (NOW CLOSED) / Endgame / Winners: Orion, Ursa, Pyxis))

Who: whoever
Where: outside Orion
When: Day 279, afternoon
What:

*a raptor--or at least an uncannily realistic life-sized cutout of such--has been carefully arranged to look as if it's ringing Orion's doorbell. ...But since they don't really have a doorbell, Cheer has banged on the door herself*

Who:  Rapunzel and whoever
Where:  By the lake
When: Day 278, afternoon
What: Chess lessons

[Anybody who has seen Rapunzel by the lake is surely used to the sight of her surrounded by lizards. What's new today is the clearly handmade chess set she is showing them, sitting cross legged and picking each piece in turn as she paints the final details. The lizards are listening with rapt attention.]

...can only move one space at a time, and if you lose the King it's game over so you have to protect him. This piece goes next to it, it's called the Bishop. The Bishop can move any spaces it wants but it can only go diagonally- Across these squares, like this.

Who: Whoever dares approach the Lepus tower
Where: Right outside Lepus
When: Day 278, late morning
What: Doors :(

[There's a rattling noise from the front door of the Lepus tower this morning. Someone is trying to remove the bar on the door but seems to have a little trouble.]

Please... Just open.

[...]

There we go!

[And now she's cautiously stepping outside to try to see what kind of place this really is.]
