Sabra La Tau

WHO: WHO THE FUCK EVER MAN
WHERE: THE ARENA
WHEN: DAY 221, HAPPY HOUR
WHAT: HEAVY DRINKING

[The fully-stocked bars that accompany each of Soldier's game are always impressive, but today's is truly a masterpiece of boozology. Enough liquor to kill the entirety of Sabra La Tau sits on its magnificent shelves. Watch out for the antifreeze.]

LET'S MAKE THIS SIMPLE. ROUND ONE: GET DRUNK.

TATTOO YOUR TEAMMATES! Important points:

* Tattoo guns work on everyone, even if it doesn't make any sense at all. No exceptions.
* Feel free to hop other teams' threads; they're basically only split up to make this post as navigable as possible.
* If you want a tattoo but come in late (EVEN AFTER ENDGAME), go right ahead and retcon yourself a thread!

Show off your final tattoo designs HERE! You have until 8 PM PST/11 EST/1 JST due to IJ hookerdom and Excel having the plague, game extended overnight! Memories will be up tomorrow

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 217, mid morning
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 two pathways each covered with a lush carpet: Dark Blue, and Black with silver trimming. One bears the sigil of the faithful dog and the other the sinuous forms of two serpents wrapped around a staff, embossed into the weave. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table, filled with punch, and several large party platters filled with a cheese and dip platter.]

[However, should you follow any of the pathways, the landscape begins to change...]

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 216, postgame
What: Monglings!!

[For some of you, she catches you before you even leave the arena. For others, you glance at a reflection in a puddle or elsewhere in the caves and suddenly she's there. However and whenever she finds you, it's suddenly quite difficult to look away. Maybe that's because she looks more than a little angry over not nabbing any of her favorite teams. o9]

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 216, high noon
What: :D

[As the light in the caverns rises to its apex, normal Blank and Ophiuchus alike can hear the call of the arena. Anyone who arrives there will see Mirror's silvery statue gleaming in the torchlight, her statue's face curved in a pleasant smile.

Sixteen circular glass buildings are arranged in a semi-circle by her feet; anyone peeking inside can see basic furnishings but not much else. Ten more rectangular rooms are arranged on the opposite side; however, these cannot be seen into. And in the middle of both groups of buildings is a pleasant picnic set out on black tablecloths with gold, silver, and bronze place settings. There's also plenty of food laid out for any Ophi members who show, but none for the regular blanks.

Also worrying might be the large black box at the end of the Ophi picnic. That can't be good.]

So many bad feelings in the air. Perhaps you would enjoy a little game of revenge~?

Who: Lyvus, anyone, A HERD OF MINI HORN PINATAS
Where: Lyvus area
When: Day 215, post endgame
What: Memories, waifu, pinatas, oh my.

[Brass is coming back from the Arena with a tray of grey glazed biscuits.]

[With a lineface.]

[And a HERD of mini-Horn Pinatas hopping along several feet behind them.]

[Yes, he knows they're there. He's trying to ignore them.]

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 214, late evening
What: Game 132

[Not many hear the call that comes out from the arena. The whistle is high and sweet, and far above the uppermost ranges of human hearing. But throughout the South Block, animals foraging in the brief window of dusk pause and lift their heads, pets whine and scratch at closed doors. Torches flicker in the wake of the sound, casting odd shadows on the walls . . . shadows that don't settle as they should, that aren't shaped as they should, shadows that laugh and wave and point to the arena no matter what pose the people casting them take.

The arena stands in its normal ruins, but instead of the light of a breaking day, it's shaded in evening's hues, and the light fades more with each step. On the great throne sits a statue of matte black rock, lumpy and shapeless and casting the shadow of a young child on the arena's far wall ]

Step quickly blanks, step fast. The game has begun, and the light will not last.

(( OOC: As there's only five teams not in the lower bracket anyway, any unit that wishes to play anyway is welcome to, memories will just be restricted to the bottom eleven.))

Who: Any
Where: Along the river, Pygnus and Bunnycorn, DelPavo and Lacerta/Cepheus territory
When: Day 214, Noonish
What: Testing the waters

[A shark seems to be skating through most of the major areas today, with a fishing spear and a line of rope. Seemingly looking for a decent hunting spot within the more populous areas, but is certainly making a closer swing here and there if people are around.

He may or may not be stalked by other Hydracula, but really, that just how it goes.]

((OOC: Something of a general post! Give me a heads up where you are and there will be visiting times (Or just use it for your own post game play~)))

[the terrible game might be over, but bear-team is still covered in blood and have made it to their dorms.

... well, at least they have cake, too 8(]

Who: anyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 213, late afternoon
What: >8F

[one by one, as the killing is done with, the doors open]


Oh my children. I'm so, so proud of you all. Such will! Such lust. I suppose I can say now, I was a little worried. Stage fright can lead to a terrible tummy-ache, after all.

Oh, oooh, but you~ were~ beautiful. The pack that formed early and struck without mercy. The feeding frenzy upon the Dolphin as soon as you smelled blood in the water. Fox and Hydra lashing out. So big and brave you were! If I could give each and every one of you a big hug you know I'd do it right now.

Well, I won't underestimate you again, dear hearts, oh best beloved. Next time we'll really see what you can do. I promise~ ♥

Who: DANGERBEAR PARTICIPANTS
Where: On the way to the arena, out of earshot of the dorms

[OOC: GOSH WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING IN THIS POST. Commenting to this post is accepting that you will be attacked. This does not mean the same thing as being killed! Although that is an option. :|b Your attacker will be in contact with you to discuss how you prefer your fight threads to end, but keep in mind this is only for people playing in Queen's game.]

Who: :F
Where: The Arena
When: 212, evening
What: As the dark work is done, one by one the door begin to open again


Good work my darlings.  I'll see you all again, bright and early. We'll do breakfast!

Who: Those called
Where: The Arena
When: 212, early afternoon
What: :)

[It may be the smell more than anything else that calls you now to the Arena. It smells so good it’s almost maddening. No matter what your team managed to scrape together for breakfast, by the time you get to the arena, your mouth is watering and you are famished. Nothing has ever smelled so good.

And when you arrive it’s easy to see why. There is a buffet set out, with every variety and preparation of meat available. Fried pederpes, slow stewed raptor, squidrats curried in sauce spicy enough to make even them seem tasty. There’s barbeque, grilled legs, pulled meats and racks of ribs nearly the size of a full grown man. Steamed fish, fried fish, fish sticks, fish cakes, fatty lizard cutlets shaped like little fish. At the center of it all is an exquisitely prepared and sliced traditional Vulpeculan twelve-layered combobeast. There is precious little garnish, and no side dishes at all to speak of- vegetables have been used sparingly if at all. The only other thing missing is any sort of personal place setting. There are no plates, no knives, no forks. Just the meat. The only individual vessels you’ll find at all are wooden cups full of thick, dark red wine.

The meats steam, crackle and glisten. It looks so good. It looks so good.

Around the Arena are the War Rooms that may be familiar to some, as each new team enters the arena, a grayed out door gains the color of that team]


Ooh, hello my darlings. It’s been far too long, I do believe. But I’ve had a good rest, and now I’m hungry. I certainly hope you’re all hungry too~ ♥

Please, help yourselves. There’s no need to hold back at all on my account. In~ fact~ I rather insist that you don’t.
