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: HYDRACULARS
Where: HAYDROCULA
When: Day 288, post-game
What: HYDRACLUAAHH

[Finally, a breather between games and plot and games. idk about you guys but I'm grumpy as shit. You can tell because I'm not humming while decapitating the day's fish.]

Who: Those invited
Where: Lyvus
When: Day 286, around noon (before the ideal world game)
What: Meeting!

[Sometime between late morning and early afternoon, people are coming over to Lyvus. They'll even feed you if you brought something to trade—there's certainly nice tea and lunch set out :) the main area of Lyvus is pretty big, and there is a long table that can easily sit at least 15-20 people, though it may start to get crowded after that, and some of the chairs are makeshift]

[There may also be some Lyvus/Monoceros makeshift scrabble games going on around lunch. This is clearly the most serious kidnapping.]

[OOCly I have no idea who is actually coming to the meeting and/or knows about it, but I think we are able to roll with bbbasically anything! Join #partyatlyvus so we can keep the blah blah in one place, and we can facilitate any necessary behind the scenes business o7]

[ pre-meeting | meeting start | current options | information sharing | spectators | violence | scowl's announcement | mirror discussion | keystones, etc ]

Who: Hydracula, whoever
Where: Skullcrusher mountain, ON THE ROOF.
When: Day 286, morning
What: Some really loud blank being LOUD

[There's a tiny new blank on top of Hydracula's dorm roof, and he is busy shouting at no one in particular. He's really, really, really loud]

KYAHAHAH! HIGH PLACES SUIT SOMEONE AS MAGNIFICENT AS ME! LOOK AT ME, I AM A MAN WHO ALWAYS STAYS ON TOP OF THINGS! THIS GREAT ME IS A MAN WHO CAN RULE OVER THE EARTH AS WELL AS THE SKY!

[he's having the time of his life]

Who: Hydracula, visitors
Where: Skullcrusher Mountain
When: Day 285, Evening, post-dragon hatching
What: Did a language translator break?

[It's been a little while since Scowl stormed back inside, and in that time he and Sparta have been having some sort of secret conversation in a sliding, shifting mess of a half dozen different languages. And they've both got cocky, self-assured looks on their faces.

Obviously everything is completely fine.]

Who: Hydracula and guests
Where: SKULLCRUSHER MOUNTAIN
When: Day 285, morning
What:

[It's late morning. In fact, it might be late morning enough to actually be calling it getting closer to noon. But a certain sharkling has found a glorious loophole in the wake the shark game of the mornings... the fact that eggs DO generally need to be warm. As such, he's STILL curled up in a large nest of blankets around him and the raptor egg.




This would not be unusual, it having BEEN the pattern of fussing for the past few days, if he hadn't sort of stretched out OVER other teammates today. DO YOU ESCAPE THIS TRAP OF WARM AND COZY? DO YOU?]

Who: Hydracula and visitors
Where: Skullcrusher mountain
When: Day 279, mid-late morning
What: GOOD LIFE CHOICES

[It's just as the pandemonium is clearing up, a special knock sounds out on the Hydracula dorm's door.

Between them, they seem absolutely unhurt... and carrying something in a swath of green and orange blankets between them.]

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 276, morning
What: Oh no Ophi everywhere!

[After the small explosion, the escaped plant monsters and the Queen mongling from the previous day, Ophiuchus is up bright and early knocking on peoples doors. WE'RE ON A WITCH HUNT.]

Who: Hydracula
Where: SKULLCRUSHER MOUNTAIN
When: Day 275, Late evening
What: It's a party :)

[Inside Hydracula's, smoked meats and what little alcohol they saved for disinfecting have been laid out on a table.

Scowl's playing the piano again today; the door to the skull is still open for anyone who might be passing by to hear it. Anyone familiar with the ancient lands of Hydra might recognize the tune. It's a slow, solemn song at first. Low and deep. Steady as a heartbeat. And as the melody continues on, lighter notes are slowly woven into it. The tempo gradually begins to pick up, and the morose quality to it begins to fade out, becoming the background to the bright and lively melody before finally fading out completely, leaving only the hopeful tune behind.

Other countries didn't often understand how it could've been a funeral dirge.]

Who: Hydracula and Dels and whoever feels like hearing it I guess
Where: Skullhat dorm
When: Day 273, post game
What: Slightly sobering up but still pretty drunk dolphins

[HELLO SKULLDORM, THERE IS SOMEONE SINGING A PRETTY REQUIEM WHILE HEADING TO YOUR DORM he is holding some covered plates and a tattoo machine??]

Who: YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED
Where: TO THE COVE (near Apus)
When: Day 272, late afternoon
What: FOR A WEDDING (there'll be cake!)

[you may notice a small girl in pink yelling something similar to this as she runs past you]

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: Hydracula
Where: Mt. Skullcrusher
When: Day 266 rrreally late, maybe 267 rrreally early??
What:

[THAT... THAT WENT WELL?

Except two of our intrepid heart explorers are, you know, dripping a whoooole lot of blood everywhere, and are full of all the mirror shards. Oops.

Trixie, in all her semi-conscious glory, is just gonna stay wherever she's set down.]

Who: Hydracula, select Caduceus, ???
Where: Skullcrusher Mountain
When: Forward-dated to after Mirror's game
What:

[Some time after Hydracula has finished freaking out over being children or the wrong sex or a sekuhara headmonster, a few members of Ophiuchus begin to arrive at different times.]

Who: Hydracula
Where: Hydracula
When: Day 264, afternoon
What: Hydracula!!1

That was an easy win.

Who: Hydracula and visitors
Where: SKULLCRUSHER MOUNTAIN
When: Day 262, late morning
What: Noxious things!

[Filling the skulldorm today, is possibly the most horrible, curdlingly foul smell for a long, long time.

A sharkling sits, with nose pinched, fanning the smell of a brewing concoction out the "nose" of the skull. Beside him, are a set of leaves, carefully stripped and set aside for the next batch. The process so far has been incredibly painstaking and has taken most of the morning, since Jinx's breakfast request.]

You're lucky I like you, you know.

Who: Hydracula & Pygnus
Where: Hydracula
When: Day 260, night
What:

[Things Excel was probably told, but has nonetheless conveniently forgotten: PYXIS]

—Hostile takeover! The red menace!

Who: Our merry adventurers
Where: In the abandoned city
When: Day 260, late morning
What:

[As you leave Delphinus, you feel the faint, rare tug of wind around you. It whirls gently and quietly from the doorway of the dorms and urges with a faint tug of cloths to the northeast. The world outside of the groups, as they split, is unusually quiet and muted, as if everything is occurring from a vast distance.

When in the city, the tugging becomes far more persistent leading through a dizzying set of turns and twists in the road until you've passed two large, defaced statues... the trail continues further ...

To a dead end.

A large cave in seems to have smashed the entrance to what was an enormous temple. The wind continues to swirl around you...

As the last gathers, it happens between one glance and the next... the stone is gone, and a temple door is slightly ajar.]

Who: Mission Goers
Where: Delphinus Dorms
When: Day 260, Morning
What: Preparations

[The summons come by squidrat, little scraps of paper with left in exchange for scraps of food (stolen, naturally). The notes simply read "Meet at Delphinus" and have only been delivered to those who spoke specifically to Scowl previously. Who they choose to bring along (or who chooses to follow them) however is an entirely different matter.]




[OOC: Consider this a large mingle before the event! Nishi will be beginning that herself in a few hours.]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 259, all morning
What: Fallouts + damage assessments

[it's a new day in Sabra! People are emerging from their dorms (or not-their dorms) and checking on each other and what happened last night]
