( Memories )

[Besides Kariya's memory is a simple, single envelope. The dinner is simple, but wholesome. Fatty lizard steaks, mashed potatoes and butter. And some sort of odd leafy, steamed vegetable with it.

This may or may not be more interesting than the fact that the coffee pot is empty. That there is a chair pushed up to the table that the coffee pot was on.

And upon further examination every piece of metal including a fair amount of the stock weapons in the training room are missing.]

[today in ophi, there is a small dumb looking hydra--]

Sitting on the dining room table. It let out a shrill, but pleasant cry, beckoning the black serpents' attention.

"Ophiuchus~!" the three heads sang, "I've got the perfect story to cure your boredom!"

On the table, there sat fourteen individual cards. On each, a short rhyme was written.

When: Day 152, evening

* in today's episode of the continuing Teach The New Kids series: a sizable pile of mushwood outside the dorms, with a few already sawn into beams or planks. There are some basic-- and more importantly, metal-- woodworking tools on-site, including a plane, a crude ruler and a couple of handsaws; one of which he's wielding *

Right, this part's kinda hard work, but basically all you've gotta do is saw as straight as you can...

Who: All units
Where: The Arena
When: Day 148, late evening
What: Game 97, endgame

[Far, far later into the night, the torches dim, and once again the lids of the stone boxes will not be moved.]

Vulpecula and Lepus, Canis and Lynx, Corvus and Cygnus. Pavo and Hydra and Monoceros, Lacerta and Delphinus, Orion and Cepheus and Pyxis.

Ophiuchus.

You have played well. I bid you rest.

[Shadows spread like cracks over the stone table, cast by four wizened, stunted bushes, the fruit on their branches soft grey in what remains of the arena light. The blanks for whom the fruit grows ripe know instinctively which is theirs.]

[For all your continuation needs.]

Who: All units
Where: The Arena
When: Day 148, late evening
What: Game 97


[The call that echoes out from the arena this evening has no voice human ears can hear. Some few may hear a whistle, high and sweet. For all others, the call comes in how the torches of the main caverns flicker and flare in the sound's wake, sending long shadows dancing over the cavern walls.

The lights steady and dim. Colours fade and only one shadow remains, stretching unerringly, no matter how one moves, to the arena's entrance.]

Come fox and hare, come dog and cat, come crow and noble swan. Come hundred-eyes, come many-heads, come single crowning horn. Come lizard sharp and dolphin swift, come hunter proud and royal crowned and ship's unerring guide.

Come serpent dark, and sheathe your fangs; there is no need for them to shine.

I wish to play a game.
