Sabra La Tau

Who: Canis, anyone who might stop by??
Where: Canis
When: Day 288, post game
What:

[There is a tiniest and saddest goat at your door. It's tapping on it with a hoof]

Open.

Who: Anyone
Where: Mushwood forest
When: Day 288, early morning
What: If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?


[A thunderous crack whips through the forest this day, audible even beyond the river. The rotting trunk finally succumbing to the weight of its great dead cap. The cracking noise continues as it falls, ending with a burst of wind and a loud crash. There is a second... and then a third crash as other dead tallcaps collapse with it.

As the forest settles into its new arrangement, silence reigns again...]


No, no, no, no, no, NO! Stand up! Get up! Grow! Obey! Return!

[Until a child begins to shriek in anger.]

((OOC: Judge sub-plot event. I'll be tagging and playing with this until tomorrow or so. The status effect game will continue and will end at the stated time. Ping Parrot in chan if you have any questions.))

((EDIT: NAP TIME. I WILL BE BACK. BACK))

*folks are age changed and genderswapped and sometimes animals, what better time to show off in the bath?*

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 287, early morning (We knew you well, day 286)
What: Status effect game

[The bleating of goats once again bring you to the arena. A statue of a sleepy child greets you on the throne]

Come play once more, blanks.

[The area around the throne is a child's playground today, with a swing set, slides, a ball pit, and a container filled with water balloons. Tables lined with colored cloth (including Ophiuchus) are arranged at the foot of the throne. On each table, lies a single nerf gun with foam darts and a bowl of small round stones just enough for each member of the team. (All of them also in their respective team colors. The Ophi table has more nerf guns on it)]

Take a stone. Bring them to your team if you wish.

((Note 1: Guideline for deaging (Stolen from Mirror)
P.S: It is also possible to be physically deaged without being mentally deaged, if that is a thing you want to play with.
Note 2: Everyone's uniforms will fit their deaged/sexswapped/etc self.
Ping Parrot on IRC if you have questions))

Where: Near the river
When: Day 286, afternoon-ish?
What: Showing the new guy around!

*so while some people are off doing PLOTTY THINGS, others are going about their daily business. Which business includes showing the newest Canis around*


((Feel free to also use this post for any other general antics/mingling for those not attending the meeting /o/))

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: a blank (tm), his team (canis) and anyone who might have a reason to be around that area.
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 286, morning!
What: someone is waking up in Canis?!
---

[ there's the sound of tearing fabric from inside one of the unoccupied rooms... a few minutes before a new blank stumbles out with the newly torn strip of fabric half tied around his right eye. ]

Who: Ash, any
Where: Up the northeastern path
When: Day 285, evening
What: :)

[It's a calm evening, the great, blind dragon lays curled around her clutch of eggs mingled in with an Ophiuchus and various pokemon. The bones of the meal - some of it roasted for that strange child that can't eat raw raptor as well - strewn around them.

In fact, it would be the most pleasant environment for Ash and Pikachu to join in on the nap with the mamadragon when...

Something behind him twitches.]

Who: Honor's teammates, Honor's friends, Lacerta folks -- the usual suspects
Where: Lyvus dorm
When: Day 285, evening
What: Fixing Mirror's messes (aka Heart Run)

[OOC -- since everyone is up and down, I'm not sure how long this will take. I can also make a channel for this, if we need one.]

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, an hour before curfew...
What: Absolute Destiny Apocalypse A duel, that one party wasn't planning on attending.

[well, this is a horrible end to a horrible day]

Who: Beardog (and whoever)
Where: Canis
When: Day 283, afternoon
What: Memories, tea and cursing GM...

What did we even do to get you put into that game?

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: Pecha and friends

When: Day 281, early afternoon
What: BOREDOM

[so there has been a fugitive living in the Canis dorms for some time now and finally--finally--the patience is running thin.

...

calmly starts to walk for the door :')]

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: Whomever
Where: The lake ...
When: Day 279, early evening
What:

[ Elliot borrowed one of Orion's spears and is now perched a rock attempting to do some fishing ...

... and still attempting ...

and then he loses his balance and falls into the water. Good thing the water's shallow!]

Oh, for goodness' sake.

((sort of night in the life ish

... now in the right comm good fucking lord))

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. ]
