Sabra La Tau

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: Monoceros and an Ophi + Whoever
Where: Ophi, then Bunnycorn
When: Day 139, evening
What: WE GOT THE GOODS

I...I have the. Stuff.

Who: HYDRACULA and anyone wandering by
Where: BY THE WATERFALL
When: Day 138, noon
What: HYDRACULA PICNIC

[There sure is a throng of orange and green hanging out by the waterfall today. At the moment, a few members of Hydra are busy arranging food on a tattered spare blanket they've laid out. Aside from the typically expected items like dishes of smoked or pickled lizard and heaping portions of potato in its various forms, there's something that looks like a small ice chest (complete with a "Return to Ophiuchus after use" note stuck to it) sitting next to nondescript paper bags that smell of delicious beef. But the best part is the pair of liquor bottles nestled between the bags and chest. It may only be a single step above their typical backwater moonshine, but that single step is ALL THEIRS~]

Who: Michiko + Monoceros
Where: Monoceros Dorm
When: Day 135, evening
What: MISSION

[BANG BANG BANG there is an impatient Ophi at your door, kids.]

Oi! Open up!




[OOC: Mission get! Feel free to tag in as you can because timezones are tricky and you'll have a couple weeks OOCly to get this thing done.

Demonstration -- Please assume your character saw this, even if they missed the initial post.
Instructions!]

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: Orion + anyone
Where: Orion dorms
When: Day 125, evening.
What: Chilling out at Orion. also, fruit.

[There is an Orion captain at the table tonight, looking pretty well fried. He's been out of it more or less all day, hence why the fruit he got from Ophi initially ended up in his room rather than on the table. But now there's a nice little array of bananas and apples set out; he's attempting to cut one of said apples with his knife.]

I could really use a drink at this point.

Who: Hydracula and interlopers (if any)
Where: Angerdome!
When: Day 126, Morning
What: Breakfast and memory catch up

[Today, amidst the controlled chaos that is breakfast in the angerdome (shooing the flaming terriblecat away from precious meat is a constant battle for some, and being careful not to trip on the angriest cave corgi as he darts around feet is certainly a challenge), Scowl is having a staring contest with three memory berries. Again.]

Who: Michiko, Sephiroth, anyone!
Where: Outside of the Arena
When: Day 123, right after Beauty's Game
What: Information gathering!

[There are two Ophi waiting outside of the Arena as you exit after Beauty's game, pencils and paper in hand. It looks very official]

If you wouldn't mind, will you answer a few questions for us?

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Ophiuchus Barracks
When: day 122, evening
What: Memories!


TICKY: -Tea party at the Camelot's

YUCA: * Walking down the slums and realizing he'd been there before

[At the table this time are three boxes of delicious filling filled donuts of TASTY. There is also fresh, chilled milk and a kettle of brewing, strong, rich-smelling coffee. The memory berries are placed carefully in each of the donut holes of one of the boxes.

The second box is full of GLAZES. And a few croissants.

There are only three jelly ones in the last box. Try not to kill each other.

There are NO new jobs on the board, just the two waiting for completion, but by Yamamoto's plate, there is a box with a Hydra green ribbon around it containing on SOULPUPPY and ... a secret decoder ring with a Pavo colored string tied on it and a tag saying (In Advance). By Kariya's, there's a blank pin.]


((OOC: Because there are no new jobs on the board, that doesn't mean you can't go out and DO solo missions! Remember Ophi activity for this month is from April 11th to May 9th! You don't have to do a solo mission or a minigame but those ARE fast and easy ways to do it. You just need ONE instance in that month of DOIN' YER JOB. If you need a situation like OFFSCREEN A JUDGE GAVE YOU AN ASSIGNMENT TO GET YOUR RANDOM TASING ON, TORTURE, OR WHOOPIE CUSHION WITH LAUGHING GAS IN IT? Tap us, WE CAN HELP. Basically, get your midboss on at least once, THAT'S WHAT YOU APPED THESE GUYS FOR.

As a note, if we let you slide this round on a I AM PLANNING THIS, make sure you DO it this month.))

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 117, evening
What: The going-away party of Gaius Octavian

[Today in the arena, a very particular Call was given out, heard by any outside, and those inside who might have been listening.. It is a strange octave, almost regal, with the deep sound of brass horns and cadence of drums. As one gets closer, they might hear something a bit like winds, but of a strange harmony that doesn't match any instrument a Blank may have remembered. Strings on a slightly different chord and pitch, the range dancing at a joyous counterpoint to the solemn, majestic trumpets.

Those who have heard, one in particular, and all those following the unique sound, will find the Arena unusually appointed. Banners of all teams colors stretch overhead, red taking the pinnacle spot.

Without the trappings of a game, what seems to be laid out is a long table, a multitude of chairs and covered plates sitting upon table cloth of Pyxis red and Cygnus pink. The music seems to come from all around, and the general area before the tables seems to be open, inviting for those inclined to dance. There is a less austere table, far to the back, which seems to have simple snacks, one single platter of fruit, and some juices and wines.

In the throne, presiding over it all is the statue of the King, expression thoughtful as it overlooks the festivities.]

((If you wish to play a JUDGE in this post, #sabra_la_iudex

Fin.))

Who: Whomever.
Where: Places.
When: Day 115, noon.
What: Dehiatus.

In the edges the lake, Chaz is trying to remember how to swim, with varied results.

At Cygnus, Charlie is starting to stir.

And in Ophicus, Reaper is sitting next to the beer tap with his last two memory berries and a empty beer mug, and a very impressive spider web in his hair to match his pissed off expression.

Who: Anyone
Where: Just outside your dorms
When: Day 112, as you're getting back from the game
What: Mysteeeeeeerious boxes!

[The boxes read simply, 'From Persona'. Inside each box, you find what appear to be cheap Polaroid cameras, should you recognize the technology. One per (non-hiatused) teammate. They're very simplistic; a button, a slot, and a number indicating how many photos are left (they each start at 12). Underneath the cameras, there is also a binder in your team's color, with the word 'Memories' embossed on the cover. It's full of plastic sheets to slide the pictures into.]

((Log the photos your characters are taking here

ETA: You have until tomorrow's post (3:30 pm pst-ish) to log photos. You don't have to use all the photos, and you don't have to log photos that you're not putting into the binder and turning in to Persona tomorrow. Or you can just leave the whole thing at home, since Persona didn't actually tell you what to do with the cameras, being Persona.))

Who: I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE, SOMEONE IN BLACK
Where: Ophibarracks
When: Day 108 evening
What: \o/ IT'S A PARTY NOW THAT _____'S HERE

[No actually he's just in the kitchen getting into someone's cigarette stash, wondering how you make them do the thing with the smoke, while peering intently into his message tube.

SHAPE-CHANGER ANTICS WILL BE HAD.]

Who: Kurogane + anyone!
Where: All over the place.
When: Day 100, until late evening.
What: Patrolling o/

[They see Ophi patrollin', they hatin', etc. Which is to say, ninja is super stealthily!11 stalking people. And/or hanging out to keep an eye on things.]

[...proverbial knocking on Ophiuchus' door ._.]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Ophiuchus barracks
When: Day 98, afternoonish
What:

[Today in the Ophiuchus barracks, there is a brief but powerful earthquake, followed by the sound of loud swearing. If you follow the sound, you will find that a shiny new staircase has appeared in the back of the kitchen, and a Soldierdog hobbling around on three paws, with the fourth curled under him. Once the stream of profanity has ceased, he goes on to say:]

GATHER ROUND, MEN! I HAVE A PRESENT FOR YOU!

((Questions on work permits go here!))
