Sabra La Tau

Who: ANYONE!
Where: Orion :') Please access the dorm from Cetus trapdoor
When: Day 284, Noon
What: PARTAY! Spin the bottle! Burgers! Middle of the day sleepovers!

[There are at the very least four people poking their head up through the trapdoor entrance to Orion, this is not ominous at all.]

You're right Cheer! This place is really empty. Think we can use it?

((Anyone ever is free to tag in! Maya, Rena, Hizumi and Kurono are having a party and it is somehow being hosted at Orion without their consent. You can assume Maya and Rena were being really loud about it and would have told anyone that it was okay to join in.))

Who: Whoever!
Where: In and around Lyvus
When: Day 283, afternoonish
What: oh no it's a lawyer

[If you're anywhere near Lyvus today, you might notice this older dude hanging around the entrance. or inside. or wherever is best for him to meet people.]

Uh, hello? Anybody home? ( If not, this is going to be an awfully lonely bunch of caves. )

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.

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: Lyvus
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 280, morning post-game
What: General Lyvus fallout, maybe some memories etc.

[WELL DONE LYVUS WAY TO NOT DIE AT ALL IN A DOOM GAME AND WIN AND GET MEMORIES THIS WAS SUCCESS oh god I need water]

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: Out of doors
When: Day 279, morning
What:

[ For most Blanks, it's another new day in Sabra La Tau. Plants to be gathered, animals to be hunted for, tools to be made or perfected, explorations of those yet-to-be-traversed back tunnels... perhaps Conversations to be had, though maybe not out in the open. ]

[ For the more observant, the air might feel just that little bit colder today.... and for those closer to the north, with more well-honed instincts than most, there's a vague sense of unease. ]

[[ OOC: Put locations in the titles of your comments! Otherwise, feel free to also treat this as a general post for other shenanigans of your own :|b ]]

Who: whoever!
Where: near the dorm areas, near fresh water!!
When: Day 278, early morning
What:

[ An Ursa is fishing!! He looks like is is brooding while fishing. What up!! ]

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 275, morning
What: A game

[The bleating of goats call you to the arena once again. The statue of a young boy sits on the throne, his chin resting on his hands. There is a simple, wooden raised platform right below the throne that serves as a stage. Decorating the ground in front of the stage are enough cushions and pillows for everyone to sit on. Circling the stage area are simple panels in team colors. On them are three buttons. The Kid sounds tired... bored...]

Let’s be honest today.

[and then someone came home quietly]

Who: Honor, friends, team, strangers, gawkers...
Where: The lake. (May move to Lyvus)
When: Day 274, mid-evening
What: Mirror returns a plaything...

[well, if you didn't notice the wonky reflections, the fact fully clothed Blanks are crawling out of the lake is a good indication that Mirror is out and about]

[normally has a ribbon holding back her hair, but currently it's missing and her hair is in her face... a face that seems subtly altered if you look past the messy hair]

[also, she's moving a lot less confidently as she wades to the shore]

Who: Lyvus
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 273, post game
What: Memory time

[Huh the house sure is quiet I wonder where everyone is I guess I will make myself some tea and oh there's the door--]

Why are you all wet?

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/))

[The fantastic cooking team is back from the minigame! And they have ingredients and a torte! And let's not forget the chef hats]

Well, that was a fun game. Maybe I'll plan a coup d'etat and take the kitchen from Royal, one of these days.

Who: Everyone/Anyone
Where: The Arena!!
When: Day 271, early morning (forward dated a bit)
What: BULLHORN -AND- BANGING KITCHEN UTENSILS

Anyone agitated enough to follow the. . .music the young Ophiuchus was making would be in for quite a surprise at the Arena. The Storyteller Judge sat near him, in her serpent form, as he babbled about merrily. "I know this is for Soldier, but thanks for helping out!" he laughed, turning his attention back to any incoming blanks. "Get ready guys! This is gonna be a fun mini game!"

((THIS IS A 24 HOUR GAME, YOU CAN TAG IN WHENEVER. Mingle // Rules|OOC Stuff // START // Taunt Submission ))

((OOC 2: I AM OUT FOR THE NIGHT DUE TO TIRED. But everyone is free to let ANYTHING HAPPEN. Want the stage to change? Go for it. Want to throw your Ophi in? Do it. Run around final attacking people? THAT IS THE POINT OF THIS. I will be back to try and run some specific things for moontime in the morning! whup no i enjoy sleeping too much. For now, free for all :|d Game End/Prizes tomorrow at 8:30pm EST))

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: =:)
Where: Lacerta Gardens =:D
When: Day 270, afternoon
What:

[There's a giant ant with a pink bow tied to one antenna, kneeling on its forelegs in front of the garden. Said antennae twitch and feel across the ground until carefully, caaaaaarefully, the ant reaches down with its mandibles and plucks out a weed. Then the antenea reach down again, searching.]

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.)
