Sabra La Tau

[Endgame. The final frontier.

These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

It's ongoing mission, is to get a hell of a lot of people home. Deal with disturbingly well mannered velociraptors as roommates. Help get old ant workers used to two feet again. And occasionally jettison Horn off into space at random intervals.

To boldly seek out new universes and parallel dimensions. To party hard as it has never been done before.]

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?

FINAL DEPARTURE

If any links are misdirected or missing, PM Claude! ))

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: Any
Where: At the base of the great mountain
When: King's Year 199, early autumn
What:

[The great mountain is the largest mountain on the content known as the First Land. It is a marker that can be seen over most of the lands of Pyxis and Canis for its inspiring height. The crystal city, in all of its marvels is built into the western side of it, perhaps a fourth of the way up in a valley between it and the nearest mountain.

Its peak is obscured by the clouds, and no traveler or climber ascending to its great top has ever come back alive, leading most to simply accept that it was a dwelling place of the Gods and thus, no place for man or his ilk.

Today, at its base, a priest is pouring over detailed construction plans that seem to shift and expand under their own magic as he pens in the countries and supplies as they come in.

Great flags of black are set in an enormous circle, stretching out of sight in an enormous circle, and far into the lands that are considered Pyxis.

A great deal of shelters are set up, most tent at the moment, within the circle. Food and water getting the first stone structures erected and thus far are without guard.

A young Ophiuchus of Caduceus cut greets you as you approach, and waves you to the table that the hooded, red lined priest sits.]

His excellency has requested you report directly to him. Please hurry and send your representative.

Who: Albert and YOU
Where: Hydra? ... Probably.
When: Whenever you want, up to Year 197
What: LOVE!!

[Who ever you are, where ever you are (in Hydra), however recently or long ago you want this to be, Albert wants to talk about LOVE!! Maybe he's asking for your advice on girls. Or maybe he's asking about your own love life. Whatever happens, if you comment to this post THERE WILL BE LOVE TALKS :B.]

[... You can specify where/when this is taking place too if you want or I may just make something up on my own, your choice 8D.]

Who: Any and all carnivores
Where: Where the party is
When: King's Year 198, last summer, the final day of the Meat Festival
What: Meat Day

[Today , the open plains have transformed into a bustling little city of tents and smokehouses. Everywhere, people are cooking, eating, dancing, and partying down. Heroes of the raptor hunt (easily recognizable wearing the cleaned skulls of their kills as fashionable hats) are telling their tales. Somebody has already broken out the booze.]

[It probably goes without saying, but the whole world smells fantastic.]

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 166
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 four pathways each covered with a lush carpet: Brown, Green, Black with gold trim, and Yellow. They bear the sigil of a hare, a lizard, a skeletal snake biting its own tail 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...]

Who: Kirk + anyone
Where: Around Cepheon and/or the caves
When: Early 166
What: Last chance to talk to Kirk before good endings happen \o/ Keeping this open foreeever.

[There is a Captain up and about early today! He spends part of the morning gathering food before settling in front of Orion and working on whittling an offering for Foreman.]

Who: Emil, Hakuba, whoever
Where: By the Orion dorms
When: Day 165, afternoon
What: Attempting to teach teammate self-defense

[there are two blanks in blinding Orion yellow, one holding on to a wooden staff, and the other correcting the first's grip]

No, um, more like this. That should help. . . Um, unless it's too heavy for you! It's not too heavy, is it?

[though, it sounds like the second one doesn't really sound like he has much confidence in the subject. shouldn't a teacher know what they're doing?]

Who: Everyone
Where: The arena
When: Day 165, morning
What: A Game

[The bright vibrant call of a horn echoes through the caves today, calling all blanks to the arena. Those who listen closely as they go might be able to hear the sound of feet beating the ground in pursuit, an unfamiliar howl, and the sound of dogs—true dogs, and not those yapping runts that Soldier calls dogs—baying at their prey.

Upon entering the arena, they look upon a statue of a woman with a bow and arrow clutched in hand. The arrow is notched, aimed at the entry to the arena, looking as though it could let loose and pierce the heart of any hapless blank who would linger too long before entering. The statue's dress is simple, a short skirt and cloth draped across her shoulder, leaving her breast exposed.

On the top of the pedestal, high above the ground a large beast lays resting in wait for his master. His massive body curls easily about the statue's feet. Pitch black fur covers his sides as they heave in and out with the steady breath of his sleeping. His face is curled toward the statue, obscured by two giant paws.

As the blanks gather, the horn sounds again and the statue speaks out in a loud clear voice.]

Come, blanks of Sabra la Tau, the hunt has been delayed for far too long.

Suggestion Box! for those interested

Who: Anyone.
Where: A bathouse.
When: Day 164, early morning.
What:

[So, if you've been gone for a whole day, working to gather materials for the potentially insane idea that you had regarding trapping and lizards, the first stop you might make is the bathhouse. Where, presumably, since it is really early morning, you'd be free to bathe in the peace and quiet you'd desire. Right?

Of course, if you did that, then you'd probably get a naked seventeen year old girl who just really wants a bath barging in on you. Totally not awkward at all.]

Who: Himiko, anyone
Where: everywhere
When: Day 163, morning
What: patrolling!

[Himiko is patrolling! On the lookout for signs of any rule breaking. Mostly, she's just bored and trying to finish her rounds soon.]


((OOC: Generic mingle post.))

Who: YOU and ME and HIM
Where: CAVES ARE A CONVENIENT PLACE.
When: Day 162, afternoon

Heyyy! Does anyone want a fabulous prize?

[ CONVENIENTLY THERE IS A CONVENIENT PLACE where a few Ophi have gathered. One of them is laden down with a big box, a slightly smaller box and . . . another slightly smaller box. The other two are chilling. 'Cos that's awesome. ]

Where: Outside the bunnycorn dorms
When: Day 161, eveningish
What: ..... bad choices?!


[if one walks by the Monoceros and Lepus dormitories, one may stumble upon Jimmy, and by stumble upon I mean stumble upon, because he's making fantastic progress through the alcohol he discovered stashed away by Badger Almaz one of the others, and he's doing so lounging outside. like you do. there's also a likelihood he doesn't remember anything about the concept of alcohol poisoning. so that's fun. do you approach y/n]

Who: Cepheus
Where: Cepheus dorms
When: Day 160, postgame
What: Memories (f*ck yeah)
