Sabra La Tau

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Messenger's Year 1, Day 1
What: Closing Time.

[Ptou reforms, sand solidifying into marble, the robes, tattered, become the tapestries of royalty and a thin, circular crown sits on his head.

He stares down at the ground a long moment, silent.]

Is that... it?

Is this what it's like?

Who: ???
Where: The Arena AND BEYOND
When: Day ۞۞۞
What:

[There is, in many ways, a strange anticipatory silence and darkness in the Arena before games. It's often hard to put a finger on, and those who've gone in and searched the ruins or forages for small branches, might have a hard time defining why THEN is different. A bit like they should be holding their breath, or be wary at their own torchlight.

However, today, instead of the spreading of a false environment of a Game... a shower of lights materializes in the Arena, near the South Block doors... as it fades, it leaves behind a group of people who never really expected to be here again.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Southern Fields
When: Day 303?? Late
What: A little squiddy said...

[Should you have followed a squidrat that STOLE YOUR THING! YES THAT THING! or just one that was acting oddly, or even just a Delphinus who knocked and said there was a picnic arranged...

You eventually find yourself in the soft light of the southern fields, surrounded by wildflowers and the wary shret looking at you balefully from the ceiling.

In the red glow of the saltwater pools here... seems multiplied, many pockets of water scattered throughout the field, a breeze surrounding them... If you look INTO one, you seem to see somewhere else... hear the SOUNDS of another world...

But before you get that far, there really IS a picnic!

A few checkered blankets have been spread across the soft moss, and are filled with salads, a few fruity, girly wines and drinks, fruit slices, cubed cheese, egg custard, a variety of cold cut sandwiches. (and a few loaves of fresh bread and pies.. because Link is Link.) ... there is also a very, very burned thing of cole slaw. The squidrat by it is eating it PROUDLY.]

((OOC: GOOD END COMMUNICATION! GO. GOOD ENDERS, feel free to start a thread with your name, you'll be visible and audible in the pool, both of your connections are a little wavy and watery though...))

Who: Those who have waited through the day
Where: The arena
When: Day 185, evening
What: A conclusion

[Dim light filters down from the arena’s heights; not so bright as to leave the ruins of buildings more than shadowed silhouettes, not so dark as to keep you from finding your way down, and down, to where a single flickering torch lights a broken courtyard.]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 140
What:

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing even to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is not any landscape you have seen before...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation of up or 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: Green, Black with white trim, and Yellow. They bear the sigil of a hydra, a skeletal snake and a club 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 cold cuts, olives and the occasional odd vegetable.]

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

((OOC note: We're trying something different this time! You can walk towards any other landscape to get to that table! Ophi and Hydra's tables require no walking between, really.

Judges, feel free to show up as you will, same rules as usual!))

Who: Carly, Mitsuru, interlopers
Where: Just outside Orion's dorm
When: Day 138, Noon-ish
What: Weaving lessons

[Carly's sitting on Orion's front lawn with 1) a nearly completed fish trap that's yet to be closed completely and 2) a pile of reeds with which to weave a second one]

Alright, I still have to teach you the techniques, but you can get a good idea of what it should look like at the end this way. [gestures at the semi-completed one]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Arena.
When: Day 137, late evening.
What: Game.

...Monty? You in there?

Who? Everyone
Where? The Arena
When? Day 135, late night
What?

[Persona's statue presides over the Arena today. There is a large, black door, and five black couches, with five sleeping Blanks: Spiky, Kirk, Masamune, Revan, and Zero]

What sorts of things will you find in a heart? Which one of these things is not like the others? Which one of these things doesn't belong?

What will happen if you leave it there?

Who: Nebula, Orion, whoever else?
Where: Route to Orion dorms from the caves
When: Day 135, afternoon sometime
What: Return from an extended trip to the caves

[There's a bloodied and scuffed up looking blank in... probably yellow, underneath the dirt, making his way back into the inhabited caves of Sabra la Tau from the less hospitable parts. Considering how dirty and tired he looks, he's probably been gone for a while, but he looks less pleased to be back and more irritated at how long it took to get here]

Finally.

Who: EVERY TEAM
Where: The arena!1

What: HOT DANG LIGHTNING ROD HAS THE BULLHORN AGAIN

ATTENTION DELPHINUS, LACERTA, . . .UH. VULWHATSIT. MONSOMETHING....YOU KNOW WHAT, JUST EVERY TEAM GET OUT HERE, I DON'T REMEMBER ALL YOUR NAMES.

Every team has a super easy chance of winning a little extra food and stuff, so come on out!

[WHENEVER YOU GET TO THE ARENA you will find 12 giant posters, each with a background color of your appropriate team. This HAPPY BLANK TEMPLATE is on it 8)b]

Who: Orion, visitors.
Where: Orion dorms.
When: Day 133, directly after dinner.
What: Memories.

[sitting on the table after everything's been cleared away is a plate with memories on it. at least one Orion is staring at it out of the corner of his eye.]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Arena
When: Day 132, evening
What: Game time!

[The Call to the Arena today is the simple sound of hammer on metal. Rhythmic, tireless it's almost a marching tune to those who happened to hear and follow it.

When you enter the Arena bare land quickly gives way to drifts of snow and barren, snow-striped trees. The further you go in, the deeper and deeper the snow gets. By the time you can make out the broad, grinning statue on the throne between gusts of snow laden wind, the snow chest-deep on most.

In the center, at the statues feet are two very welcome things at this point: Fur wraps of some unknown white animal large enough to drape around you and a metal pot of hot chocolate and several ceramic cups.]

HA HA HA! Bit of an effort wasn't it? I had to get your blood pumping for this one! Everyone warmed up?

Who: Orion and anyone?
Where: Orion
When: Day 132, morning
What: LOGIC

*from within a room that belonged to someone else until just recently, there is a noise. It sounds like the noise of someone talking to themselves while moving softly through the room*

The construction of this room suggests that great care was taken, but if I cannot remember this room, logically it was not myself who built it. There must be others here, or perhaps simply others who came before me, who built this room, but to what purpose? One must wonder whether it was known that I would be coming, or if I was unexpected.

*this could go on for a while*

Who: Orion, and visitors.
Where: Orion dorms.
When: Day 131, late afternoon/evening.
What: News.

[currently, this Orion's focused on the normal activity of this time of the day: trying to get dinner ready. totally normal day.]

Who: Orion + anyone
Where: Orion dorms!
When: Day 129, post-Trickster.
What: Catching up on stuff and recovering.

[By the time all that Trickster craziness is done, Kirk is vaguely well enough to sit at the table in Orion. He's got the journal and is awkwardly catching up on some entries he promised Mitsuru. Writing with one hand is kind of a pain. He keeps looking at the open door for any sign of people coming back from the game.]

How long is that thing gonna take?

Who: Kururu, anyone else in the area
Where: Route all along past Hydracula/Lacanis
When: Day 128, late noon/early evening
What: 8)

* THERE IS A GIANT ANT SCURRYING PAST WITH A PAVO BETWEEN ITS JAWS *

* WHAT DO YOU DO *

Who: Canis, Orion
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 127, afternoon
What: Blue doctor is helping Kirk get back to his team once he's confident Kirk won't die from being nommed on by a cannibal.

...and you have to remember to drink a lot of fluids to replace the blood. Are you even listening to me, Jim?

Man, fuck you guys. I'm going home.
