Sabra La Tau

Who: Hydracula & Friends
Where: Skullcrusher Mountain
When: Day 240, afternoon
What: THUMP

[If you are inside Hydracula right now, you might notice the huge, fedora-skull-shaking THUMP up on the roof. Or maybe the hammer-like pounding that follows it. If you didn't know better, you might think it sounded like the secret knock.]

Who: Hydracula!
Where: THE SKULL OF SECLUSION
When: Day 236, Morning
What: MEMORIES and lingering status effect(s)

[THERE IS A PILE OF BERRIES ON THE TABLE. And one still very small Hydraculan leader trying to figure out why he can't get into his usual seat at the table >8|a]

Who: Albert, anyone
Where: All over
When: Day 226, all morning (but not too early 8Db)
What: Social visits

[Today one member of Hydra is going around to all the dorms! Knocking on doors, saying hello, meeting new people, trading gossip, you name it. He's got a covered woven basket with him, too.]

[...Okay we lied. Maybe not ALL of them. He's probably conspicuously skipping Beardog and Lepus, but that's not to say that he has to ignore aforementioned team members if he meets one of their number on the road, right...?]

Who: PARTY WITH PAVO
Where: South of the southernmost dorms, just as the torchlight begins to fade
When: Day 225, late morning onward
What: Bathtime :D :D

[While not quite the same kind of rumble as an earthquake, there's definitely something happening south of the dorms today; something that almost sounds like a small explosion, to those familiar with such things.

Following shortly after is the most curious thing — a cloud that billows from the explosion's epicentre, travelling out and around before dissipating. But not dust and debris . . . in fact, any even moderately close example will tell you it's damp.

. . . and . . . warm?

Investigation further south will reveal what was once a rather unremarkable gully. Now, it's filled with a furor of activity as blanks (most in purple) and giant ants work together, raising walls around the densest patch of steam, manoeuvring beams into place for the roof. For so much preparation, the event itself barely takes more than a few hours, leaving a wooden structure where there was none before.

And inside? Inside, my fine fellows, is a little slice of paradise.]

Who: Claude, ???
Where: Southern vents
When: Sometime Day 224 probably??? (backtimed)
What: fffield operation it's awright

* there's nothing unusual about a blazing furnace in the forge, or that blonde Cephean guy hanging around by himself in there... what might seem off would be the lack of sounds normally associated with metal being beaten into submission. *

* said guy is currently sitting on the floor, a knife beside him, eying the bandages wound tightly round his right hand and fingers. Glancing at the furnace from time to time. *

Who: Aven + Ophiuchus
Where: Ophi-place???
When: Day 224, morning
What: MAN ON A MISSION

[So there is an Ursa. He is standing outside of Ophiuchus. And he is wanting to talk to an Ophiuchus. How does he?]

Rise and shine, lazy bones! I'm here for a mission--if you'd like. I'm pretty sure there's other things you'd rather be doing but I'm assuming that there's some sort of mutual benefits thing for missions, so...

[he could prattle on all day, really, if you let him]

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 223, afternoon 
What:  Masquerade~ Paper faces on parade. Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you~

[The arena is dim today, the light of the torches giving way to a shimmering sort of half-light as one approaches. The ambiance is more that of twilight than dawn, and it flatters the smiles on the statue of the Twins high above. Tiny white lights flicker and disappear in the air, swaying and dancing like fireflies, but to any who examine them closely, they seem to lack substance.]

[What stands in the rest of the arena, however, remains a mystery- for towering to an improbable height near the foot of the stairs is a gate of ornate iron scrollwork, and the wall attached encircles the arena, blocking off the space closest to the statue. Lanterns of colored paper and whimsical metal shapes have been hung from the top of it, adding a splash of color- here Cepheus purple, there Hydra green, and all the teams represented in their turn. From above the gates, there rings out a voice that is pleasant and more than a little amused.]

A pleasant evening to you, little blanks. I trust you've had word from Ophiuchus? Do prepare yourselves accordingly. I've arranged a game for you, and my dear sister has agreed to help me put it on.

Who: Anybody!
Where: By the water.
When: Day 215, late afternoon.
What: Socializing.

[A handful of Lyvus are sitting on the slightly-less-rocky edge of the river where it pools slightly to the North. Some of them are being productive members of cave society, gathering in baskets, or trying to fish.]

[The others, namely Royal and Strike, are making flower crowns, and making Brass look very pretty.]

No, no, you have to wind it tighter, or it will fall apart.

Y'know, I think I'mma skip dinner tonight.

Who: anyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 213, late afternoon
What: >8F

[one by one, as the killing is done with, the doors open]


Oh my children. I'm so, so proud of you all. Such will! Such lust. I suppose I can say now, I was a little worried. Stage fright can lead to a terrible tummy-ache, after all.

Oh, oooh, but you~ were~ beautiful. The pack that formed early and struck without mercy. The feeding frenzy upon the Dolphin as soon as you smelled blood in the water. Fox and Hydra lashing out. So big and brave you were! If I could give each and every one of you a big hug you know I'd do it right now.

Well, I won't underestimate you again, dear hearts, oh best beloved. Next time we'll really see what you can do. I promise~ ♥

Who: Everyone!
Where: Arena ... again
When: Day 210, evening
What: gosh can't they make up their minds on whether they want us in the arena or not :|

[When you come into the arena today, an alarming combination of Judge statues sits on their thrones: Mirror's familiar, silvery form and Horn's annoying outline are both here.

But more importantly, there is something floating in the air here. Something terrible. The monster offspring of both Judges, the awful, horrible…

( cut for sensitive eyes!! )

Let's keep this short and simple tonight. And since dealing with Horn is penalty enough, I suppose I'll be merciful skip the punishments this time.

[Ren and Shigure are doing rounds to inform people they're leaving o/]

((Taking a break but I will pick at this throughout the week ♥))

Who: BRAVE ADVENTURERS
Where: The deep dark mushwood forest
When: Day 209, morning
What: Doing things that are totally safe, guys. Totally safe.

[Carts have been loaded with tools and gear. A lot of gear, actually — gloves to keep splinters from hands, makeshift armour to protect from flying debris, and while the requisite wood cutting tools are there at the bottom, there's a little safety case on anything that has a sharp edge.

And it's off, off to the forest we go. Extra torches for light, eyes wide and alert in case anything leaps from the dark. Because you don't know what's out there, do you? No, not really.

But we need wood. Wood to build baths, so people can be clean, so we don't all drown in our own filth and get diseased and die, or catch pneumonia from bathing in the river and still die.

Wood. We need wood.

. . . w-who's idea was it to do this again?]

Who: Aeon
Where: ALL OVER
When: Day 208, afternoon
What: CHECKING UP ON EVERYONE. EVERYONE EVER.


[Uraeus is making rounds, people. LOCK YOUR YOUNG BOYS INSIDE. No, mostly making certain visits to dorms to check up on missions and checking out the new Block.]


((OOC: Pyxis, Lepus, Ursa, Lacerta... definitely want to say hi to you guys for mission things! Everyone else is welcome to the party~ Feel free to specify location in the subject.))

What:  JOY AND RAINBOWS, Game 124

We heard! We figured. We thought very hard about this! We figured you would be tired from such a journey and everything's been so serious lately! So very, very, very, serious! So we made you a game! A fun game!

[ You were all super excited to have a game right after the big move, weren't you? I am sure you are even more excited to see not one! But two! Two wonderful judge statues in the Arena! Even more exciting is that these two statues are Horn and Lover. At least there's no elevators, right? ]

Miss Mary Mack, mack, mack all dressed in black, black, black! Had a steamboat and it had a bell, ding, ding, ding! When the steamboat went to heaven, she broke her little ass! She had a tiny turtle! And then paid the doctor!

[ and then a moment of BLISSFUL SILENCE followed by: ]

Hey, listen. I heard a rumor.



A rumor about a sex dungeon!
