Sabra La Tau

Who: Dexter, Lucky
Where: Corehaven, Cepheus
When: King's Year 196
What: Tonight's the night

[it's the middle of the night, and a young man is creeping down an alleyway, finding his way in the dark with the assurance of practice]

Who: Pavo, and any curious onlookers
Where: the common area behind the Delpavo dorms
When: Day 130, late afternoon
What: Brutalizing lake flora for fun and (hopefully) profit, a.k.a. miniquest adventures the third

[This soon-to-be-evening, if one should be passing by, there is the most curious of sights. What appears to be nearly all of Pavo's baskets are sitting in the common area, and each is filled to the brim with different plants, from flower bud to feeder roots.

More curious, the garden sits completely undisturbed, the members of Pavo seeming to be far more concerned with dissecting, boiling, squeezing and studying their catch. A small cooking fire provides boiling water and a place to sear plants against hot coals, and the smells from both range from tasty, to. Well. That one was just bad.]

Who: CEPHEUS + anyone who wants to show up
Where: CEPHEUS
When: Day 129, post LOL TRICKSTER DIED
What: SO MUCH GOING ON

That was so awesome.

We are so fucking dead later, though. One way or another.

Who: ROOK.... AND PEOPLE?
Where: Around! Notably not near any of the dorms.
When: Day 126, late afternoon
What: Blowing :|b

[ Blowing: to produce or emit a current of air, as with the mouth or a bellows. Also, contemplating one of the larger pieces of bamboo and its hollowness. ]

Who: Those invited, and perhaps those not
Where: The Arena
When: Day 124, evening
What: A game

[This evening, as you walk, you may find the torches flickering, casting odd shadows on the walls, and leading back, back to where the statue in arena waits.

The light here is pale, an arctic dawn that never truly becomes day, but a cluster of torches in the arena's centre gives more than enough light to see the nine closed rooms circling the judge's throne. The statue itself is shaped of dull obsidian; while it's hard to tell from the shape itself, the judge's statue shows a older child, legs drawn up, fingers held to make the shape of a fatty lizard against the wall.]

Come. Cepheus and Cygnus, Pyxis and Lepus, Pavo and Delphinus.

Be my pieces. I wish to play a game.

Who: Dexter, unsuspecting blanks
Where: Entrance to Cepheus Dorms
When: Day 123, late afternoon/evening
What: Practice!

[If you happen to be passing by Cepheus dorms, you might notice that the door is wide open. Anyone who chooses to investigate might find themselves surprised.

... unless you have crazy good observational skills which might tell you there's a Cepheus member lurking at the end of the entrance hallway waiting for people to come through]

Who: Assorted Pyxi
Where: Cepheus dorms
When: Day 118, late afternoon
What: prelude to grave defiling, a knock on the door

Hey, Cepheus. Anyone home? It's Blood.

When: Day 118, late morning

[Hey Cepheus, there is someone in your kitchen eating your jerky today, possibly checking if you have anything else stored up.]

Huh, this isn't too bad.

Who: Claude and friends!
Where: Outside of Cepheus
When: Day 117
What:

Awright! You've got some time anyway! Say your goodbyes, knowing that while the Crowbar of Fate has wedged in there to apply just the right amount of pressure to separate the boards without unduly bending the nails so that they can't be reused. I mean we've got a budget to keep. Is exerting its inexorable pressure!

IT IS ONLY SO THAT ONE MAY RETURN! STRONGER, WEATHERPROOFED, and with a nice bit of lacquer finish.

Who: Cepheus + anyone
Where: Cepheus dorm!
When: Day 115, evening (dinner-ish, after the game)

...so you took yours already?

Who: Dilandau, anyone
Where: By the Cepheus commons area
When: Day 113, before the game closes
What:

[It wouldn't seem like much in an ordinary day, with ordinary titles. After all, the boy always DID have a fascination with fire... except today, when staring at a torch, part of the fire seems to be pulled away from it into the air as he crooks a finger in a "come here" gesture.

... At this very, particular moment, Dusk has never looked happier before flinging the small fireball to the side.]

((OOC: Because I didn't manage to do it in time, this post IS backdated, and free for your last antics. HOWEVER, no pictures taken in this post count, naturally.))

Where: An entrance to WILD CAVES
When: Day 110, late afternoon to ????
What: Partnerteam bonding by animal slaughter :|b

* obligatory gathering is occuring! etc. *

(( Hunting thread ))

(( Post-hunt ))

\/\/h0: all
Where: the arena
Time: Day 101 evening
What:


The Arena today is not as it usually is. The light coming down is only in patches, as if being shown through a decaying screen. Where the light touches, the ruined buildings stand exactly as they once must have: tall, proud and glistening. But there are patches of darkness as well, much darker simply than the absence of light. Where these touch the scenery, it becomes faded and translucent- like a tapestry partially unwoven.

It's hard to tell if the throne is empty or not. Looking straight on, there is no Judge to be seen, but maybe out of the corner of your eye, if you're not quite paying attention, there will be a woman with a scarf on her head and a loom sitting in her lap. Even unable to look her straight on, her face is beautiful, if wrinkled and she's smiling gently.

In front of her, there are twelve large looms, each strung up with the teams' respective colors.

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.]



(( Gonna be a slooow day at work. I'll still be a little in and out, though. ))

Who: Claude, Syaoran
Where: Cepheus
When: (backdated) Day 99, late evening
What: coooonversation

* knocking on teamtiny's door *

Who: Cepheus + whoever
Where: Cepheus
When: Day 98, post game
What: MEMORIES

[the war rooms open. no one is squished.]


Well played everyone. I, for one, am quite impressed. Your memories will be forthcoming momentarily.

Who: everyone
Where: at your dorms
When: Day 96, late evening
What: knocking at your door

Who: Trixie, anyone.
Where: By the lake \o/
When: Day 96, afternoon
What: Time-out from teammates (not that they can't join her) and PRACTICINGS.

[That memory may have given her more questions than answers, and it may have been totally grosstacular, but a few good things have come out of it!

Trixie is by the lake, knife in hand. She's eyeing it critically, adjusting her grip and the position of her wrist every so often. It's not the most aerodynamic weapon around, but neither was that giant fan. She can make this work!]
