Sabra La Tau

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 248, 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: Red and Black with Silver lining. One bears the sigil of the compass, pointing steadily down the path and the other shows a hooded cobra in 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.]

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

Who: exorcists and others
Where: starting at Lacerta
When: Day 247, afternoon
What: srs happenin's

[There is a Pyxis heading towards Lizardking territory who seems to be having an internal debate with herself as she walks. It's probably pretty entertaining to watch, and ends when she reaches the Lacerta door to knock... kind of.]

Who: People
Where: heading towards Pyxis from the fields area
When: Day 247, morning
What: time spent with Soldier...

[there is a lone blank heading slowly across the caverns. She is not in a uniform but her Pyxis-red playboy bunny outfit gives away her team affinity. She stumbles occasionally, which might be due to her four inch heels or to the fact that she's trying to keep her eyes covered as much as possible in the lighted areas. If you approach, the overwhelming miasma of alcohol that surrounds her might help explain the problem.]

Who: Pyxis, visitors
Where: the Pygnus commons
When: Day 233, late morning
What: practice

[Miranda has been working at the base of the Pyxis dorms for the last twenty minutes or so. She's set up horribly warped and useless glassware on various rocks, balancing them carefully. There's about ten pieces in all. She studies it a moment before picking up a metal rod about as tall as she is. Walking back over to the first, she takes a deep breath and brings the rod down hard on the glassware, shattering it.]

Who: Link and whoever
Where: Meeting Hall area
When: Day 227, late morning
What: monstrosities

[Though Link is reluctant to wander too far from the dorm areas lately, since yesterday he's been looking for somewhere out of the way to train.

The meeting hall, he discovered, is a fairly long way off and has very little in the way of resources to offer to blanks, so despite that it is decently lit, no one comes this way very often. He's left a note in the kitchen saying where he'll be, should anyone from Delpavo wish to find him, but it also requested a bit of privacy.

The reason why becomes evident to anyone who might be curious enough to ignore the request, though he isn't doing much beyond activating his right arm into it's weapon form. He's staring at it as if he'll get more used to it if he does.]

Who: YOU
Where: ARENA
When: Day 225, morning
What: ~*Game*~

[TODAY on our throne is none other than our buddy Angel, flanked by her usual enormous maze. There are eight entrances to the maze, each blocked from view by fluttering coloured fabric.]

Hey, hey, is it really scary to lose things? That stuff you're holding onto, would you really be worse off if you didn't have it? And, and, that stuff you want to lose? Is that important too?

[Prep | Mingle (4:30PST - 5:30PST) | MAZE (5:30PST - 8:30PST) | Endgame | Memories]

Who:  Rapunzel, various animals and YOU
Where:  Wherever it is feasible to have all these animals and plants. The fields maybe?? Lets go with the fields.
When: Day 224, afternoonish
What:

[An unmistakable buzzing noise. An unmistakable, oddly tuneful buzzing noise. Add in a chorus of Orvi cawing, some clapping, and... A violin solo somehow? Drums? Who even knows. Should you investigate this abnormality you will find one Disney princess engaging in an elaborate dance number with several of Sabra's beasts as they help her gather food. There is a stack of pederpes rolling onions into a basket with a flick of their tail, beebats actively sharing their honey, fatty lizards helping to carry baskets, at least one dolphinacorn in there somewhere, it goes on and on. This is real. This is a thing that is happening.]

Who: Loud pink and red kids
Where: HEADED TO DA BEARDOG
When: Day 224, morning
What: HAY BEARDOOOOG



They'll certainly be for it. I've no doubt! And the bigger the party, the bigger the game we can handle, right?

((THIS HERE BE A PLANNING AND MINGLE POST actual hunt tomorrah o7))

Who: Weed, Sharkling, Cygnus, others
Where: Heading back to and in Pygnus territory
When: Day 221, right after noon
What: Trading teammates

*can has a sharkling in his custody*

Who: Pygnus
Where: Pyxis dorms
When: Day 217, BRIGHT AND EARLY FOR A SHARK (noonish)
What: A VISTOR KNOCKS

[A shark is at Pyxis' door looking really, really hung over. He has some first aid supplies cradled in one arm around a splint, and is knocking on the door with what appears to be a sawed-in-half spear.]

fucking torchlight...

[Is seriously considering just dousing it all while he waits upon the treehouse.]

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~?

[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: NEW CYGNUS DUDE
Where: Pygnus dorm area
When: Day 212, pre-Danger Bear
What: New swan!! you know how this goes

[if you happen to be in the Pygnus dorms area today, there's a new dude STEPPING UP TO EXAMINE YOU.]

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.

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 211, early evening
What:

[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 hot winds and an uphill slope of loose, fine sand. Your upward trudge isn't easy, with sand being the horrible, contrary thing it is when you're intent on getting ANYWHERE.

As you top the dune, you see a giant statue sitting on the thrones, leaning forward on his elbows and with a huge, jovial grin. At his feet, there is a large, spanning lake with a tropical island in the center... between you and the lake though, there are eight paths.]

HA! WARMED UP, KIDDOES?

What:

[Allen FINALLY HAS ENERGY thanks to crops finishing growth and delicious fatty lizard meat. He is EXPLORING with a large basket, eating anything he comes across (that doesn't obviously belong to a team) that looks remotely edible, as well as some things that... don't.

But hey, whatever doesn't cause him to immediately spit it out, he puts in his basket.

There's a fatty gold golem helping him out.]
