When: Backdated to 239 Early Morning
What: :')

[Who can guess where the last place a Hydraculan ever wants to be is? Scowl's about to find out, having just swapped back into his own body after a Monoceros borrowed it during King's game. :)]

Where the fuck am I . . .

Who: Beardog
Where: Bear dorms?
When: Day 239, evening
What: trauma, memories, possibly more trauma.

[well, those berries sure have been sitting there for a while haven't they?]

... right. So.

Since this last game was... a bit rough... maybe some memory-catch-ups to help calm things down?

Who: Lyvus & friends~~~
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 239, post-Waterbearer's game
What: fallout

[So, what a game, huh? And Selendis, Itachi, and Rory have just arrived home in clothes ripped to shreds.]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The barracks
When: Day 240, Morning
What: Rankings change!

[It is yet again, dreadfully early in the morning that the world beneath the arena shakes. This time, Uroboros and Caduceus both have found themselves in the highest regard of the King and Guardian, while Uraeus has at least the benefits of the middle class.]

An interesssssting turn.

[And this particular morning as well, one Ticky Mick will feel a singular tug of his attention down below where a single, black silver-embossed scroll awaits on the altar.]

((Mingle, memories or what may take your fancy! Enjoy!))

Who: Orion and visitors
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 239, evening
What: A writing game

[The scroll on the table reads: individuality, plenty, control.]

...a game?

Who: Jace, Canis, ???
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 239, afternoonish
What: Animal rescute

*after a few hours to recuperate from his icy doom, a mind mage is opening the door of Canis and, apparently, talking quietly to nobody*

Hey. Waterbearer? Can you come see me?

Who: Pavo, Delphinus, Orion, Cetus, Corvus, Lacerta, Lynx, Hydra, Ursa, Canis, Cepheus.
When: Day 239, early evening
What: a game

The harp that calls you to the arena this evening is sharp, and firm, crying out clearly to certain teams. In the arena, Veiled sits upon the throne with a scroll in her hands instead of the usual harp, and on the carpet at her feet is a pile of scrolls upon a table, accompanied by a small writing case, and a dictionary.

[ rules and questions | scrolls: due at 6:00 PM PST, May 19th | collaborations or whatever here. ]

Who: Lizardkings
Where: Lizardking
When: Day 239, afternoon
What: And lo, after a shitty game we have returned home

Who: Jinx and others
Were: River nearish Hydracula
When: Day 239, afternoon
What: EPIC RETURN

[after this, there is suddenly a large amount of splashing and sputtering and suddenly terrified as someone in orange struggles to swim out of the water]

Who: Blanks!
Where: Arena!
When: Day 239, late morning
What: Game!

Why, who could be calling you to the arena today? The call seems familiar, but a bit strange, too - a little bit warped. When you arrive, there are eight doors, color-coded according to partner teams, and on the throne is someone you might not have seen running a game for quite some time!

It's Waterbearer, and... he looks like absolute shit. As well as featuring the sort of skinniness you'd only see on someone with severe digestive parasites, his normal pose is different- the clay jar, sporting several hairline cracks now, is toppled over at his knees, water gushing everywhere. His hands hang limply (or as limply as a statue can hang) at his sides, dripping with water that seems unusually muddy.

The statue seems to have been damaged in places - as though someone with very strong fingers had gouged out parts of the statue's face, throat and arms. Everywhere one of these gouges can be seen, thick, muddy water drips out and onto the arena floor.

Unsurprisingly, he's crying - it sounds different than his usual sniffling, though. This is the kind of crying that borders on outright hysteria. In fact, forget the borders. It is hysterical psychosobbing.

“W... wh... why? I cuh-cuh-can't- h-he's ... I c-can't get him out, I c-can't-
I can't-

I can't

I-it's not fair, i-it's not right, I can't, I can't, but m-maybe, maybe if...”

And then his crying just dissolves into an anguished wail.

Around you, the color-coded doors unlock with a soft click.

Who: Nutcracker, anyone
Where: baths
When: Day 239, morning
What: bath time!

[Taking care of long hair in a murdercave is a pain. Tifa's taken up a nice corner to soak and carefully detangle her hair in]

Who: Delpavo
Where: Delpavo
When: Day 238, evening
What: stuff

[Dinner is set out in the foyer as Link has been doing since Feathers got her mirrorfish. Gosh it's been a while, I guess there was a game? I hope they get back before dinner gets cold...]

Who: Hydracula
Where: Skullcrusher Mountain
When: Day 238, evening (after the game)
What: :)

[You know, there are some people you just really don't want to find sitting on the roof with a sword when you come home while bodyswitched! Because, you know, even if you manage to convince him of who you really are which is dubious enough in itself, there's still no guarantee that he's not going to stab you]

[But hey, look, it's Guillotine, he hasn't been around in a while, didn't you miss him? ♥]

Who: Lyvus
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 238, evening
What: memories and/or antics

[What surprises await those of us who missed the call?

And I don't know about you guys but Itachi is working on the garden and keeping an eye out in the direction of the Arena. :|]

Who: Lizardkings and visitors
Where: Lizardking
When: Day 238, evening
What: Someone slept through the game's call so he stayed home, read, and ate snacks

[Man I'm having a relaxing, quiet day]

Who: Game goes
Where: The Arena
When: Day 238, Afternoon
What: A game! :)

[The arena today has had a large section of it walled off, apparently. Where the ruins normally lie has been blocked off with a wall that’s much too high to see over, and any attempts to sneak a peek will send people tumbling down or leave them with a headache (should they attempt to use magical methods).

The throne is filled with King’s majestic self, and there is a small buffet table with the fixings for simple sandwiches before it; sliced and roasted lizard meat, a few types of cheese, hearty bread, and more cabbage than anyone really cares to see. There’s also a large tureen of punch.]

Who: Taiki, Apple, anyone
Where: In front of Cygnus and Pavo dorms, respectively.
When: Day 237, evening too!!
What: Dehiatus

[Apple has been deposited in front of Pavo. He looks a little dazed! But as armless and okay as he was before.

And a stumpy-horned kirin you may or may not recognize is trotting up to Cygnus. A goat/the Kid may be with him... and maybe even riding on the kirin, who knows how that works 8Ua]

[warning for being flaky and slow]

Who: Blaze, Lacerta and Delphinus (others are fine too)
Where: Lacerta and Delphinus
When: Day 237, afternoon
