Sabra La Tau

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 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: Lacerta + ?
Where: the dorms
When: Day 160, immediately after aging back up
What: backdating a discussion that needs to happen \o/

[as Lacerta heads back home, Spock pauses in the main living area of their dorm]

I would ask that everyone not disperse to attend their personal matters for a moment ... I wish to make two announcements that may directly affect everyone present.


(( Post is open for a while as my schedule stills sucks and will be sporadic at best until late next week, feel free to drop in any time o/ ))

Who: Everyone!
Where: Arena
When: Day 159, bright and early.
What: Game~

[Mirror's familiar silver statue is in the arena today, though the pose seems more thoughtful than usual. Mirrors line the arena, casting your reflections in all directions. But something seems slightly ... off about them. Like they've been warped just a liiittle, and don't quite reflect the truth of what you look like...]

I suppose I should start from the beginning, shouldn't I?

...

Quiet.

(( Brief mingle, then there'll be a thread to trigger the actual de-aging. Info posts go here and here. ))

Who: Anyone
Where: By the lake
When: Day 158, mid-morning
What: Cut with a knife~ and Sephiroth's to blame~ you give handbags a bad name ♫

[is wearing an apron, and is carefully picking bunches of mint from near the lake]

Who: Orion et al
Where: Orion dorm.
When: Day 156, night.
What: It's only a flesh wound.

[Three blanks, back from the game are entering the common area. One of them is pretty bruised.]

You. Sit. There.

Who: All regular Blanks
Where: In your dorms
When: Day 155 and 156
What:

[It doesn't really happen all at once, or to every dorm at the same time. But over these two days, you might spy a tiny spider slipping under the door. It is soon followed by several others, skittering along the floor, up the common room table and small cocoons of webbing are industriously opened. Almost as quickly and efficiently they scatter, vanishing.

If you missed this event... then perhaps you simply looked over and saw six small memory berries and the traces of webbing around them, fine threads catching the torchlight.]

((OOC: Two things! FIRST! Start your dorm's threads with [Your Team Name] for the sake of organization. SECOND. When you take your memories, ping Nishi with a thread link.))

Who: Allen + Anyone!
Where: Lacerta
When: Day 154, post-game
What: Lacerta skipped after-game plottings in favor of taking home their unconscious flower girl.

[Allen has fussed over her and made sure she's cleaned up and tucked into bed. He's dirty from weeding and is now sitting against the door outside takin' a break, doing a few nervous habit shuffle tricks with his cards. Timcampi is with him, eating gnawing on a bone.]

Who: most of Lacerta and Cepheus
Where: SAFE ZONE underground catacombs in a pile of pilfered blankets
When: Day 151, night
What: FOOD AND SLEEPOVAR

[so we've only been meaning to do this forever. Allen and Red have murdered a delicious fatty lizard and rounded up their CLAMP walkie talkies and also invited other interested teammates not Silver. Time to braid hair and talk about boys and eat Watanuki's food and maybe actually get some good sleep in.]

((POSTED FOR PURPOSES OF PLACING IT IN PROPER PLACE IN PTIMELINE. Folks can tag in at aaaany time for sleepover antics however scheduling allows, by god we are doin' this. I HAVE TO TAKE A NAP LIKE A WINNER!! But I will tag later.))

Who: Orion, anyone
Where: Orion's dorm
When: Day 148, post game
What: Memories

[A tiny in yellow's just finished up putting new berries in a bowl on the table.]

Are we taking them together again?

Who: Lacerta
Where: Lacerta dorms
When: Day 148, after the Shadow game.
What: Waiting for the others to come home, then memories

[While the game-inclined Lacertas are out and about, Wata is sitting near the open door, clumsily mending a shirt. he keeps looking up to see if they're back yet.]

This would be a lot easier if I could see...

Who: lake-goers
Where: the lake
When: Day 148, late afternoon
What: ~sploosh~

[two figures are unceremoniously dumped into the lake! both figures also seem to be clutching their heads.]

Oooooowwwwwww ...

Hmmm, how about, Razzy first? Since it's her first one and all!

Who: Fay and Spock and ???
Where: getting closer to the main caves \o/
When: Day 143, morningish
What: being lost :(

... Are you sure we're going the right way this time?

It is the most logical path after attempting the other paths.

I swear we just passed that pile of rocks ...

That is highly unlikely.

Haaah, I can see why Jim likes you. I bet you win all the arguments.

Affirmative.

Wow...this is a really big cave.
