Sabra La Tau

Who? I wonder if it's you?
Where? Could it be the Arena?
When? Day 290, Evening? (Well before the Mirror Heart antics)
What? ♥♥♥

Is it a good evening for everyone? Have you all rested well? I wonder, are you prepared? Are you able to face what lies within your friends and teammates?

[The couches today are piled with Hizumi, Elliot, Claude, Chrono, Taisuke, and Yoi-te]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 289, post-good ends
What: ...

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 289, noon
What: Good Ends

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is that strange darkened landscape again...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation between up and down, walls or even the floor. You can only see the throne in the far off distance, and three pathways each covered with a lush carpet: gold, orange, and lavender. One bears the sigil of the hunter, club upraised and a string of jewels shining in his belt. The second has several foxes embroidered cunningly into the cloth, their silhouettes nearly invisible against the background. Finally, a great peacock adorns the third, its many tailfeathers rising nearly the entire length of the path. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table holing a punch bowl and several large party platters.

However, should you follow either of the pathways, the landscape begins to change...]

Who: Dolphins and friends
Where: Geardormland
When: Day 288, postgame
What:

*game? what game? no one here died at all. those burned up uniforms? just a figment of your imagination*

Not sure there's enough left of this shirt to fix.

Who: New girl
Where: Just outside DelPavo
When: Day 288, post game
What:

[Having dumped her coat in her room, a new Delphinus has wandered out of the gear dorm to... look offended by the bridge-less river]

How am I supposed to cross that?

[P.S: Her button-up shirt has been unbuttoned at the top to a, uh, rather exposing degree.]

Who: Delpavo and anyone up to fording the river to visit
Where: Geardorm, main foyer
When: Day 286, evening to night
What: Blanket forts and snuggle piles.

[In the time when others have been out talking, there's been a minor decorative change to Delpavo's main shared living space. It looks like all of Pavo's blankets and pillows have been amassed between the two curving staircases—spread over chairs and stools and hung from lines tied between the banisters to form an airy, panelled tent.

Through the open flap waits a small pile of combs and brushes, more than a few mechanical parts and tools, cups of warmed root milk and a small tray of bite-sized morsels.

And spreading the last of the pillows on the mattresses and boards covering the floor is Feathers, humming softly to herself.]

Who: BLANKS
Where: THE ARENA
When: Day 286, Morning ??? WHO KNOWS
What: Game~

The call today was a fleeting, pleasant one. The blanks that followed may have been on their way to more important matters, or perhaps simply going about their daily gathering routines. In any case, once they arrived at the arena, they'd find some familiar faces. On the grass, surrounded by grazing sheep, the blanks slept, their expressions peaceful.

"My, my," the Judge thought aloud, her book closed. "I wonder if this is really a happy ending."

[THE SHEEP AND GRASS ARE CARDBOARD. Latecomers are A-OK, just hit me up on IRC (Ash). Sign-Up/Mingle/Rooms/Memories]

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:

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?

Who: DelPavo + Visitors
Where: Geardorm
When: Day 282, morning
What: Memories

[HEY GUYS ARE YOU STILL HUNGOVER? Better perk up because we brought home memories \o/]

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: 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.

Who: DelPavo + anyone
Where: DelPavo
When: Day 276, evening, post-plotting
What:

[Whatever locks the Geardorm has on its main doors have now been very securely locked. And then re-locked, just to be sure.

A cranky tiny is scrutinizing them as if he's seriously considering adding more.]

Who: DelPavo, people who want to point and laugh
Where: Geardorm
When: Day 273, evening? However long it takes to get sober?
What: SRSDOLPHIN HANGOVERS

...someone turn those torches down.

((sloooow post PICK AT YOUR LEISURE))

Who: Whoever
Where: The Arena
When: Day 273, after the game
What:

HAHAHA, WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN DO WITHOUT ME, YOU SAD LITTLE DWEEB?

[Soldier is laughing, the bar is fully stocked, and there are still a few stray corgi puppies running around.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 273, Afternoon
What: :)

[The arena has been dimly lit with torches that leave much of the area dark. Only a patch to the base of the Judge's statue has been lit, and from there eight more paths stretch out to doors that have been lit with colored torches according to each set of partner teams. Game Master's statue is seated on the throne, head turned beneath the hood to watch the incoming blanks.

—and then some dick started blowing a vuvuzela.]

Soldier!! You're going to ruin my game!

((Mingle | SOLDIER!!! | Rules and Explanation | Posts))

Who: Nutcracker, anyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 272
What: A mission!!

[This is the most awkward mission. Nutcracker is walking around the dorm areas in search of, well, girls to kiss. There is at least one girl on each partner team, right?]

((OOC: Tifa's mission is to kiss a girl OR two boys on each partner team + Ophi. Feel free to hop in. I'm up for hilarity, doubles, and misunderstandings and will try to accommodate them aalll. Hit me up at zehroh at gmail if I'm not on IRC. Feel free to use the post for mingle o/))

Who: DelPavo (and later Pyxis)
Where: Geardorm (and later Pyxis)
When: Day 271, late afternoon
What: Pie party (and later lizard shennanigans)

[Knocking on the door to DelPavo with her foot because her arms are too full of all the ingredients from the minigame]

Hey, it's Rapunzel! Open up.

Who: Delphinus and whoever
Where: Geardorm
When: Day 271, mid morning
What: Chores and whatever (awkward things)

[People who are familiar with Link's habits should be able to tell by how extra-organized he is being and how many chores are going on at once that he is probably planning to free up some time in the evening for his own activities]
