Sabra La Tau

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.

COMING EARLY, LEAVING LATE, AND OTHERWISE COMING AND GOING AS NEEDED ARE ALL COMPLETELY ACCEPTABLE '-'b The sign in is strictly for scoring and sorting purposes.]

Who: Sea monsters and friends
Where: CETUS DORMS :Y
When: Day 282, early afternoon
What: IT'S A PARTY IN THE CETUSA (or memories, whatever)

[ ... Elliot made some hella wise decisions at that game. Now he is slumping in a chair. There are memories on the table though. ]

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 281, all day
What: insert tattoos and drinking and generic mingle here

[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: 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: 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: Just a couple lizardqueens
Where: en rout to Cetus
When: Day 279, afternoon
What:

Mm, thanks for coming with me. Do you know anyone on those teams?

Who: Orion and whoever
Where: Monsterhunter
When: Day 278, Morning
What: Memories and stuff

[Looking at the gummy bear he got after the game]

What the hell are we supposed to do with these anyway?

Who: Monsterhunter, Shadow ... possibly Parrot. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ARE YOU
Where: Monsterhunter dorms
When: Day 277, just before curfew
What:

[The torches gutter their warning and Nishi stares at them pensively a few minutes before standing up and starting for the door.]

I need to talk to someone. I'll be back in the morning.

Who: Parrot, anyone
Where: Cetus's roof
When: Day 277, morning
What: Just a little crazy.

[A fine Parrotman specimen is sitting on Cetus's roof. He is humming some kind of superhero theme to himself while he chills out there, being told to stay indoors doesn't suit him too well.]

Who: some Cetus (and a cat in a sack)
Where: various teams
When: Day 276, evening
What:

[so Lacerta, Cepheus, and Delphinus can definitely expect a knock on their doors from one of the new kids on that newer team. mostly wandering around trying to locate a certain Ophiuchus everyone seems to be looking for]

It's Extreme from Cetus. Can we talk?

Who: \o_0/
Where: Monsterhunter
When: Day 276, late morning
What: oh no what now

[Okay Cetus, I know you've had a very exciting morning of suspicious activities, but life rarely gives you a break. It does however give you a girl in your kitchen, looking at a spoon like it's the most interesting thing she's ever seen.]

Who: Shrubbery, Toaster, & others.
Where: Monsterhunter
When: EXTREME BACKDATING (Day 274, evening)
What: Monglin' fallout (Because Cetus going more than a full day without any drama is just a joke at this point)

[Elliot is pacing outside monsterhunter. THIS MIGHT FEEL FAMILIAR ... except last time it wasn't Elliot ...

Maybe he's just thinking about asking the door out on a date?]

Who: Monsterhunter!!!
Where: Orion Dorms
When: Day 274, Early morning
What: New teammate!

[Maybe you had a tiring day last night and wanted some good sleep. Maybe you just like your sleep. Either way this morning there's a new blank swearing and kicking a door, and considering how loud he's being, sleeping might be hard]

Stupid fucking door.

Who: Ophiuchus and Mitsuru
Where: The Barracks
When: Day 273, evening
What:

[It's getting close to curfew when Tack returns home, looking more curt and surly than usual. Mission probably didn't go well...]

((OOC note: Invisible to most senses, there's a tiny Orion following the tiny Ophiuchus, with a trick of a ten minute time limit.))

Who: Monsterhunter
Where: At their dorms
When: Day 272, evening
What: OPHIUCHUS VISITS

[... Hesitates a moment outside of the dorm, considering.. Ah hell, he has business anyway. KNOCKING.]

Who: Anyone
Where: Everywhere, at ALL the dorms
When: Day 270, Evening
What: Sabra Relationship Chart :)

[It's still quite some time until curfew when you'll hear some very insistent knocking on your dorm door, or maybe you are being tapped on your shoulder while walking between them.]

Hello, this is Diamond from Ursa. I need your help with some very simple questions.

((Rena has a solo mission to do a GIANT relationship chart of as much of Sabra as possible and will ask everyone about their friends, love-lives and rivalries. She'll also ask you about other people's relationship. Oh, and it is totally okay to feed her with misinformation. Because even if I am really going to draw this up, it will still be done ICly.))

Who: Anyone
Where: Baths
When: Day 270, late afternoon
What:

[Just get through going through a Heart? The next step is obviously to go spend the rest of the afternoon in the baths]

(All the mingle encouragement. ALL OF IT.)

Who: the cliched question
Where: Cetus
When: Day 269, late-afternoon
What: new arrival

[so, seamonsters, you may just notice someone in your colors lurking around, trying not to be noticed because what the balls is going on here and who the hell are these people? All the same, he's kind of holding onto his brass tube tightly.]
