What is going on here?

Who: ???
Where: The Arena
When: Day ??????1 Afternoon
What:

[ Today the Temperance sits on the throne- in one hand her hammer, and in the other her shield. Just as she always looks.

And oh, look. It’s your old friend the War Rooms. ]

Welcome, Blanks. Certainly most among you are not so unfamiliar with this arrangement. No use making faces about it. Face it bravely, and such courage shall see you to victory and peace.

As always, we shall play a game of defenses. Who shall you protect? Who shall protect you? Whose offense is to be the most feared? Speak to your comrades and enemies now, for once the rules are set, each color shall face this battle alone.

((Hi there! Mingle will go an hour or so, as Lady still has some setup to do. If you would like to have your characters remember the Temperence, please feel free to. Her games are usually hard, but she is never herself cruel or unfair. She was very proud when you all managed to survive her last game.

Who: ???
Where: Your bedroom in the North Block of Sabra La Tau
When: Day ??????1 Morning
What:

[ You wake up in one of the terrible, cramped North Block rooms with a pounding headache. You remember it. You remember your te@%N~ati0n, you remember the Games and the G01010001101udges. You remember the stone. The whispers of rebellion. You remember . . . desperation. Next to you is a brass tube, where you can see yourself repeating one word over and over in a tiny garbled recording:


"willingl-willingl-willingl-willingl-willingl-" ]



((ETA: to clarify, you do not remember anything explicitly that happened "after" Sabra, and the events of the last weeks are vague at best.))

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 289, noon
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 three pathways each covered with a lush carpet: gold, orange, and lavender. One bears the sigil of the hunter, club upraised and a string of jewels shining in his belt. The second has several foxes embroidered cunningly into the cloth, their silhouettes nearly invisible against the background. Finally, a great peacock adorns the third, its many tailfeathers rising nearly the entire length of the path. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table holing a punch bowl and several large party platters.

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

[ Orion | Vulpecula | Pavo | Everyone else | Memories | Wishes | Departures--- SURPRISE TWIST ]

Who: a blank (tm), his team (canis) and anyone who might have a reason to be around that area.
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 286, morning!
What: someone is waking up in Canis?!
---

[ there's the sound of tearing fabric from inside one of the unoccupied rooms... a few minutes before a new blank stumbles out with the newly torn strip of fabric half tied around his right eye. ]

Who: Kaito and Lizardking
Where: Lizardking
When: Day 283, late afternoon
What: Check-ups! and general visitings

[knocking on the door while calling out:]

It's Kaito, just so you know before you ask.

Who: Pecha and friends
Where: Canis
When: Day 281, early afternoon
What: BOREDOM

[so there has been a fugitive living in the Canis dorms for some time now and finally--finally--the patience is running thin.

...

calmly starts to walk for the door :')]

Who: Edge, Jace
Where: Canis
When: Day 277, afternoon (slight backdate)
What: discussing IDIOTS

[Canis, someone is knocking at your door. Bet you're getting tired of that shit by now.]

Who: some Cetus (and a cat in a sack)
Where: various teams
When: Day 276, evening
What:

[so Lacerta, Cepheus, and Delphinus can definitely expect a knock on their doors from one of the new kids on that newer team. mostly wandering around trying to locate a certain Ophiuchus everyone seems to be looking for]

It's Extreme from Cetus. Can we talk?

Who: Izaya, Guardian and ...?
Where: Ophiuchus Barracks
When: Day 275, early evening
What:

[The torches are beginning to dim for the evening over what was a rather ... exciting day for the regular Blanks... The barracks still remain a center of calm to walk back into for an Ophiuchus.

So much so, that would one wander down, they might find the enormous snake sleeping lightly on its own coils.]

Who: Ophiuchus and Mitsuru
Where: The Barracks
When: Day 273, evening
What:

[It's getting close to curfew when Tack returns home, looking more curt and surly than usual. Mission probably didn't go well...]

((OOC note: Invisible to most senses, there's a tiny Orion following the tiny Ophiuchus, with a trick of a ten minute time limit.))

Who: LizardKing and friends!
Where: Lacerta
When: Day 271, FIRST SIGN OF TORCHLIGHT (baaaaackdated)
What:

[possibly throughout the night, after a particularly loud bang on their door, any Lacertans who do not sleep well or possibly don't sleep at all, may have heard some noises coming from their front door. it's an eerie sort of sound, like something's trying to get in. dear god, what if it's the Old Man seeking entrance into their dorm this time--

except upon opening the door after the first torch is lit, they will find a certain Uroboros curled up and pressed to the door. appearing more disgruntled, unnerved, and hyper-alert than traumatized or anything.]


((note: since my schedule sucks balls, I'm throwing this up so ANTICS and discussion can happen when it can. I can and will poke at this post all evening though expect me to be uber slow from 4PM-midnight PST fffffff))

Who: =:)
Where: Lacerta Gardens =:D
When: Day 270, afternoon
What:

[There's a giant ant with a pink bow tied to one antenna, kneeling on its forelegs in front of the garden. Said antennae twitch and feel across the ground until carefully, caaaaaarefully, the ant reaches down with its mandibles and plucks out a weed. Then the antenea reach down again, searching.]

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 270, afternoon
What: generic random happenstances

[Which is to say, this is a mingle post. Whatever you're doing today, on this fine day 270 afternoon, you may do it here.]

Who: Dolphinacocks and friends
Where: The Geardorm
When: Day 269, evening and onward
What: THINGS.

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 268, evening
What: plottings?

[So, as usual there is an Uroboros wandering around, fairly cheerful and all. And yet there may be a slight difference in his mannerism if you're one to catch that. The fact that he's knocking on dorm doors doesn't seem odd, surely?]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The Barracks
When: Day 266, Late afternoon
What:

[You return home empty handed after some time and have an oddly disproportionate idea of how many squidrats are in the ruins.

... Strangely, the Guardian doesn't seem as put out as he has with other missions.]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The Barracks
When: Day 266, noon
What:

[Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, the members of Ophiuchus, feel a drag on their attention and an urge to go home and report.

Down in the Guardian's chamber, the great snake rests, much like always, but there's something about it, perhaps the more energetic, erratic flicker of flames or how it keeps testing the air that seems restless, if not agitated.]

There isssss a new misssssion from the Queen. Ssssshe wisssshessss it be done with hasssste.

Who: Moontimers and people with bad sleep habits
Where: By the cove
When: Day 265, late morning
What: Mingling Getting people wet

Hey, look at this!

[Ker-canonball. The splash may be heading your way.]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Ophiuchus, individual bedrooms
When: Day 263, night time
What: Cuddles :)

[Good evening, Ophiuchus. There is a beautiful woman climbing into your bed. Or possibly a bear, if that's your thing. Or you might be having trouble telling the difference. Either way it's cuddle o'clock.]
