Sabra La Tau

Who: Assorted Pyxi
Where: Cepheus dorms
When: Day 118, late afternoon
What: prelude to grave defiling, a knock on the door

Hey, Cepheus. Anyone home? It's Blood.

Who: NEW PERSON + Pyxis + visitors?!
Where: Pyxis dorm
When: Day 118, afternoon
What: The new gal... just can't get ahead in life.

[Pyxis, there's a headless woman in your uniform standing in your dorms, staring intently at that skull you happen to keep around in plain view.

What do you do.]

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 117, evening
What: The going-away party of Gaius Octavian

[Today in the arena, a very particular Call was given out, heard by any outside, and those inside who might have been listening.. It is a strange octave, almost regal, with the deep sound of brass horns and cadence of drums. As one gets closer, they might hear something a bit like winds, but of a strange harmony that doesn't match any instrument a Blank may have remembered. Strings on a slightly different chord and pitch, the range dancing at a joyous counterpoint to the solemn, majestic trumpets.

Those who have heard, one in particular, and all those following the unique sound, will find the Arena unusually appointed. Banners of all teams colors stretch overhead, red taking the pinnacle spot.

Without the trappings of a game, what seems to be laid out is a long table, a multitude of chairs and covered plates sitting upon table cloth of Pyxis red and Cygnus pink. The music seems to come from all around, and the general area before the tables seems to be open, inviting for those inclined to dance. There is a less austere table, far to the back, which seems to have simple snacks, one single platter of fruit, and some juices and wines.

In the throne, presiding over it all is the statue of the King, expression thoughtful as it overlooks the festivities.]

Who: Slick and YOU
Where: A Common Area
When: Day 117, noonish
What: EMPLOYMENT

*In a place where you have no doubt walked many times before. Perhaps every day, there has appeared a cheap folding table, a cheap folding chair, and a cheap bored Ophiuchus. Slick is sitting in the chair with his legs propped up on the table, idly shuffling a deck of cards, and probably not really paying much attention to whatever is going on around him unless you approach.

On the table is a folded piece of paper, standing up. It reads "Hire Me"*

Who: Blanks!
Where: The Arena!
When: Day 117, late morning
What: All Blank Pokemon Trainers Report to the Arena!! /bullhorn

[AT SAID Arena, dozens upon dozens of Beedrill have just finished being bandaged up. They probably think y'all suck, but are no threat :[ ]

[also there is a small shoddy stage-like set up on a flat rock, with one crappy spotlight and a microphone]

Okay guys, I hope you all enjoyed the day with your Partners! Say your goodbyes and return their pokeballs to the box...labeled Pokeballs, I guess!

--oh, and one more thing! Everyone tell the other blanks what ya learned from your Pokemon. Ya can use that microphone thing right there. That's super important!

((YALL HAVE AN HOUR and I will pick winners and prizes :|b]

((TO SKIP A HEAD: Sabra la Pokes has all your Pokemon information on it divided by teams! If there's something I forgot or need to change, please let me know! If you still want a Pokemon, you can still get one, just hit me up. Also, you can use this account to host your Pokemon if you don't want to make space on your own (there are already some userpics uploaded). Feel free to move/delete as you see fit. password is thunder1))

Who: Anybody
Where: The Arena
When: Day 113, late morning
What: Game 76 conclusion

[As you step into the Arena, the titles fade away, as well as the strangeness that accompanied them. By the time you reach the Judge's statue, you feel normal again. Around said statue, there are tables set up, with color-coded tablecloths.]

Would you go ahead and put your photos on display for everyone to see? Once you are done, would you mind answering a few short questions?


((Photos are here; go ahead and peruse/talk about them in the mingle thread, and questions will be up shortly. I will close the votes at a quarter to 6:00, and announce winners at 6:00. Titleswaps were here, for easy reference.

ETA: GAME IS OVER. All photos may be kept, but all cameras disappear))

Who: Peter, Elgala, anyone else
Where: Not too far from the Arena, heading towards Pavo
When: Day 112 morning, an hour after game announcement
What: Two malnourished and filthy blanks find their way home after being missing for six days and haven't noticed they're back yet.

I, Elgala, am telling you that I am not useless!

I wonder what happened? An hour ago, this Peter guy got a stick up his ass and my eye started hurting until I wrapped it up...

((De-hiatus post! Feel free to use it for extensions from game mingling, that post hit 1200 after all. Elgala's title is [One Eyed Dragon] and Peter's is [Judgmental Mage]. Will tag other people as I can, until I sleep, in which case I'll pick up again later!))

Who: Pyxis, anyone else
Where: Pyxis dorm areas and the approaches thereto
When: Day 105, post-Soldier game
What: Drunken Pyxising and memory-taking

*Tavi and Ikki are escorting three very drunk teammates home.*

Who: Anyone
Where: Pygnus commons
When: Day 102, before dinner
What: ANYTHING

[Blood is- somewhat awkwardly- practicing swinging her giant fucking gun around like a broadsword.]

Who: Everybody
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, with the call coming just as people are finishing up in Pavo
What: Oh my, what a strange coincidence...

[Trickster's statue sits in the center of the Arena. Around him, twelve war rooms (?) in the appropriate colors.]

Everyone enjoyed the War Rooms game so much last time, I thought you might like to play again. Explain it to the young ones, won't you? Hee hee~♥

((MINGLE
THE WAR ROOMS

By the way, anyone who tries to discuss strategy in the mingle thread will find that their mouth automatically sealed shut. :) ))

Who: Allen + everyone
Where: every dorm
When: Day 98, ass early in the morning
What: holy shit

[There is some VERY INCONSIDERATE LOUD KNOCKING going on]

Hey! Hello! It's Lacerta, it's Allen! Wake up already!

Who: everyone
Where: at your dorms
When: Day 96, late evening
What: knocking at your door

Who: Pyxis +
Where: Pyxis dorm
When: Day 96, evening-ish
What: scrubbing... lots of scrubbing

[Pyxis tiny has finally woken up and started scrubbing egg off the dorm. apparently she has been at this for a while. She's currently studying the very little amount of headway.]

This... isn't working is it?

Who: Cygnus, Pyxis and whoever else happens to stop by
Where: Cygnus dorms
When: Day 94, as soon as they're back from the arena
What: braiding each other's hair and talking about boys. Blood, for one, is camping on the right side of the door, Ikki on the left.

Who: You
Where: The Arena
When: Day 94, Morning
What: Game

How are you feeling, Blanks? Has the crest of aggression washed over you? Or depression? Will you turn your gaze toward victory or seek shadows in fear of retribution? There are two days left of my game, make your choices as you will.

Oh, and, I have decided my previously added rules add to the game balance quite well. They will continue to be in effect for the remainder of the game, Blanks.

Who: You
Where: The Arena
When: Day 93, Morning
What: Game

[You must know the spiel by now, the arena is as it was before. Though some of you may have a longer walker, weighed down by the bodies of your comrades.]

Have you thought about your hands? Your plans? Have you schemed or returned with renewed foundations? Today marks the halfway point of my game, Blanks. I hope you are ready for what lies ahead. Remember, the choices are yours alone.

Yesterday's rule remains in effect. You may not attack the teams you attacked the previous day. As a new rule, you will no longer be allowed to get away with taking actions that may indicate what cards your team has played, such as conveniently arriving to help others with raptors and the like.

Now, bring me your dead, and I will return them to you. And depart to your circles. You have a Game to play.

Who: Pyxis
Where: Pyxis dorms

Who: Cygnus, Cepheus, Lacerta, Pavo, Pyxis, Vulpecula, Monoceros
Where: The Arena
When: Day 89, midnight.
What:Game 62

There's a guitar solo playing tonight in the East Block.

If you follow it to the arena, the Dude sits upon it with not only his surfboard leaning against the throne, but with a guitar in hand.

"Little dudes, what is up?"
