Sabra La Tau

Who: Strikey and passerbyers
Where: By Bunnycorn
When: Day 227, morning
What:

[For those of you who pass by the Bunnycorn area on a regular basis, something is remarkably different this morning. All over the ground about ten feet in front of Lepus' crazy dorm and even as far behind over at Monoceros is ice. Icicles, to be precise. Sharp ice spires ranging from 3 to 7 feet high litter the ground, jutting out in every angle imaginable. A few pederpes seem to have gotten stuck in the mess as well. ... Lunch, I guess!

And just over to the corner is a very tired Lepus, flopped on the ground. If you can see ghosts, you can also see a tiny little sprite thing circling around him.]

Who: Folken, you?
Where: around the rocky cove
When: Day 225, afternoonish
What:

[You may have noticed a tall man in a loose shirt and trousers wandering the area. Though he walks slowly, he strides with purpose, somehow giving off a calm, serious aura. Except for how he keeps craning his head around to stare at everything from rocks to wildlife to grasses like an excited small child.]

...Hmm.

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?

Who: Any
Where: The northeastern tunnels
When: Day 224
What:

[To those who first return to the cavern in the northeast, it may appear that the great green dragon sleeps.

The cavern is dark, its fires burnt out and the dragon rests in its ashes.]

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 223, afternoon 
What:  Masquerade~ Paper faces on parade. Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you~

[The arena is dim today, the light of the torches giving way to a shimmering sort of half-light as one approaches. The ambiance is more that of twilight than dawn, and it flatters the smiles on the statue of the Twins high above. Tiny white lights flicker and disappear in the air, swaying and dancing like fireflies, but to any who examine them closely, they seem to lack substance.]

[What stands in the rest of the arena, however, remains a mystery- for towering to an improbable height near the foot of the stairs is a gate of ornate iron scrollwork, and the wall attached encircles the arena, blocking off the space closest to the statue. Lanterns of colored paper and whimsical metal shapes have been hung from the top of it, adding a splash of color- here Cepheus purple, there Hydra green, and all the teams represented in their turn. From above the gates, there rings out a voice that is pleasant and more than a little amused.]

A pleasant evening to you, little blanks. I trust you've had word from Ophiuchus? Do prepare yourselves accordingly. I've arranged a game for you, and my dear sister has agreed to help me put it on.

Who: TWO DRUNK CETANS ON A BIKE
Where: nnnnot suuuuure :|a
When: Day 221, slightly post drink o'clock
What:


Awe, would yeh quet yer greetin' fer just haff a minute. Ain't my fault this won't ride straight.

Who: Aeon and others!
Where: By the river
When: Day 220, afternoon
What:

[There is a makeshift little booth that's been set up by the river. Aeon is sitting right beside it, with a basket of apples on one side and loaves of bread on the other.

There are also tons of boxes by his feet. And he's just sitting there, humming a tune.]


((OOC: Storyteller apples + twin boxes! Come by if you want one or the other or if your team doesn't have their boxes yet.

For a reminder of what the apples do: The Serpent and the Apple - Blank must eat the apple of temptation unknowingly. Will be ~TEMPTED~ to attempt little feats that have been nagging them, such as wanting to punch a shret in the face or stealing a quick kiss on someone's cheek. Temptation stops short of seriously injuring another. (worth one loaf of fresh bread, a generous wedge of cheese, and 6 eggs))

Who? You?
Where? The Arena?
When? Day 219, morning?
What: It's that time again!

[Persona on the throne, people on couches, you know the drill!]

How will things go today?

Who: Bears
Where: Beardorm
When: Day 217, early evening
What:

I think we need to talk.

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~?

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 214, late evening
What: Game 132

[Not many hear the call that comes out from the arena. The whistle is high and sweet, and far above the uppermost ranges of human hearing. But throughout the South Block, animals foraging in the brief window of dusk pause and lift their heads, pets whine and scratch at closed doors. Torches flicker in the wake of the sound, casting odd shadows on the walls . . . shadows that don't settle as they should, that aren't shaped as they should, shadows that laugh and wave and point to the arena no matter what pose the people casting them take.

The arena stands in its normal ruins, but instead of the light of a breaking day, it's shaded in evening's hues, and the light fades more with each step. On the great throne sits a statue of matte black rock, lumpy and shapeless and casting the shadow of a young child on the arena's far wall ]

Step quickly blanks, step fast. The game has begun, and the light will not last.

(( OOC: As there's only five teams not in the lower bracket anyway, any unit that wishes to play anyway is welcome to, memories will just be restricted to the bottom eleven.))

Who: Any
Where: Along the river, Pygnus and Bunnycorn, DelPavo and Lacerta/Cepheus territory
When: Day 214, Noonish
What: Testing the waters

[A shark seems to be skating through most of the major areas today, with a fishing spear and a line of rope. Seemingly looking for a decent hunting spot within the more populous areas, but is certainly making a closer swing here and there if people are around.

He may or may not be stalked by other Hydracula, but really, that just how it goes.]

((OOC: Something of a general post! Give me a heads up where you are and there will be visiting times (Or just use it for your own post game play~)))

When: Day 213, post-game evening

[the terrible game might be over, but bear-team is still covered in blood and have made it to their dorms.

... well, at least they have cake, too 8(]

Who: anyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 213, late afternoon
What: >8F

[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: DANGERBEAR PARTICIPANTS
Where: On the way to the arena, out of earshot of the dorms
When: Day 213, During the walk to the Arena
What: >8F

[It is quiet.]



[OOC: GOSH WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING IN THIS POST. Commenting to this post is accepting that you will be attacked. This does not mean the same thing as being killed! Although that is an option. :|b Your attacker will be in contact with you to discuss how you prefer your fight threads to end, but keep in mind this is only for people playing in Queen's game.]

Who: Anyone!
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 211
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.]

What's this? You think this is it?  Oh, no, that's still a rock I guess.

Who: Everyone!
Where: Arena ... again
When: Day 210, evening
What: gosh can't they make up their minds on whether they want us in the arena or not :|

[When you come into the arena today, an alarming combination of Judge statues sits on their thrones: Mirror's familiar, silvery form and Horn's annoying outline are both here.

But more importantly, there is something floating in the air here. Something terrible. The monster offspring of both Judges, the awful, horrible…

( cut for sensitive eyes!! )

Let's keep this short and simple tonight. And since dealing with Horn is penalty enough, I suppose I'll be merciful skip the punishments this time.

Who: As good of a question as any!
Where: Ursa dorms area!
When: Day 208, mid- to late-afternoon
What: HELLO!

[Somehow--just somehow--a person in brown has managed to make his way out of the dorms and is now studying the stalagmites and general area with FASCINATION. he is also carrying his brass message tube with him and might knock it against the more solid-looking stone bits]

Oh, this is brilliant. Gorgeous, even! Not too bad of a place to live, considering, but well... I say not bad...
