Where: IN DA GEAR
When: Day 220, afternoon
What: [there is a squidrat squishing up through the drain]


GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! IT SEEMS I'VE-



Oh. Hmm. Am I sparkling? Is that me? Well that's really not quite as planned.

Who: Mirror + people
Where: :D
When: Day 218, evening
What: Penalties~

Who: Delphinus, Hydracula (whoever wants to come watch)
Where: The Mushroom swamps
When: Day 215, morning to noon
What: Badgercroc hunting

[After coming home in the morning and making sure people know that the people who were at the game didn't die, Link has decided today is a good day to get a long-standing mission out of the way, since they're nicely stocked up due to trades and apology-baskets.

So now the party of dolphins is getting ready to set out for some badgercroc hunting with their various sharp implements and sleep-berry traps.]

[Poking Del for readiness

Who: Cetus + Orion + anyone
Where: Cetus dorms
When: Day 213, post-game.
What: Seamonsterhunter piles and memories.

[Cetus sure needs a big ol' cuddlepile after that game. Also, memories. And Thumper is making an effort to cook (a meatless) dinner, though whether anyone is actually going to be hungry after that game is another question...]

Who: Delpavo and company?
Where: DELPAVO DORMS
When: Day 213, post-game
What: Dealing with the stuff after the game.


[Apple and Ed are dragging the freshly revived Delphinus members back to the dorms.]


... So does anyone know what the hell just happened back there?

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.

We heard! We figured. We thought very hard about this! We figured you would be tired from such a journey and everything's been so serious lately! So very, very, very, serious! So we made you a game! A fun game!

[ You were all super excited to have a game right after the big move, weren't you? I am sure you are even more excited to see not one! But two! Two wonderful judge statues in the Arena! Even more exciting is that these two statues are Horn and Lover. At least there's no elevators, right? ]

Miss Mary Mack, mack, mack all dressed in black, black, black! Had a steamboat and it had a bell, ding, ding, ding! When the steamboat went to heaven, she broke her little ass! She had a tiny turtle! And then paid the doctor!

[ and then a moment of BLISSFUL SILENCE followed by: ]

Hey, listen. I heard a rumor.



A rumor about a sex dungeon!

Who: You!
Where: Arena!
When: Day 202, Morning
What: Game 122!

[Today, the arena has a maze that may be vaguely familiar to the very oldest of you, but overall kind of mysterious for the vast majority. It looms, looking terribly imposing and spooky. Fog pours out of the entrances. You can hear wolves ominously howling in the background!

On the throne is a winged girl statue, sounding rather cheerful.]

Hello, hello? Can we play? I want to play, a game, a game! Here, here! Step one is: There are seven stages, and you have to find them! Can you, can you? Well, all the world's a stage, but the world doesn't count!

Who: You
Where: At the heart of the city, before the great throne
When: ???
What: A Game

[As your vision sharpens, so does the laughter.

Upon the throne sits a statue of Kokoli; the Masked One, the Laughing Liar, the Fool’s Fool. He remains still, and yet his mask seems to shift whenever you glance away. On his lap is Rota, the Pale Maiden, the Death-before-Life. Something seems a little off in their expressions. Hers, a little vacant, distant. His seems more dangerous each time he appears. It seems they were conversing.]

"I'm s-still not sure . . ."

"Don’t worry, babe. You’re gonna knock 'em dead."

Who: ANYONE coming or going
Where: The Delphinian capitol of Dulfim
When: King’s Year 199, springtime (before the flash in the sky)
What: End of the world's a'comin' time for a BAR POST \o\ /o/

[Many people from the richer landlocked nations like Cygnus and Pavo, or neighboring nations without their own ships, like to make their way to Delphinus to seek passage to the northern countries without having to pass through the deserts of Canis or the treacherous swamps and forests to the west. It is generally a more comfortable and speedier journey, more suitable to people who either travel a lot or others who are less used to a wanderers life.

Usually at Dulfim (the capital) there are a lot of comings and goings through the canal and port. However recently, due to the unpredictable tides, more ships have been coming in than going out, and many of Delphinus's larger and more famous seagoing ships have been put to harbor. Walking around the city you notice that there are rumors about how more than several ships met their unlucky ends on the rocks when an unexpected current carried them and smashed them into the islands and reefs that line the mouth of the Delphinian gulf.

AS FOR THESE BEACHED SAILORS... well, what else is there to do but find a tavern until they're reassigned to a smaller ship? It might be somewhere you'll want to head too, as the inn's are filling up quickly with travelers dealing with unexpected delays.]

Who: Pavo, and those of Cepheus and Delphinus it may concern
Where: All along the banks of the great canal, from Delphinus to the very heart of Pavo
When: King's Year 199, Early Summer
What: Flooding

The waters of the canal, contained as they are within stone and crafted earth, have long been a pleasure to sail. Slow enough that a well-set sail or a few oars can take a boat upstream all the way to Pavo’s borders, and with enough pull to ease a ship back down to Delphinian soil, the canal’s fresh water has been a training ground for many too old or young for the sea.

And this night, only hours after the false dawn flashes through the sky, sailors resting along the banks, boats anchored and those still on course, feel something that speaks to the bones of any Delphinian —

Boats heave. The tang of salt touches the air. At the edges of the canal, water starts to overflow, spilling out onto ground, flooding careful irrigation systems with liquid that means death to the orchards and farms on either side.

Here, now, as if the sea herself was crawling from her bed and seeking a new berth . . . the tide is coming in.

And the waves have only just begun.

Who: Del and others
Where: Delphinus
When: Day 196, After the game
What: Inspecting Link.


Well Shiki, do you see anything weird with his head?

Who: You
Where: Arena
When: Day 196, Late evening.
What: Game 120

[A familiar summons pulls you to the Arena, and a familiar statue of Persona sits on the Throne. Four Blanks lie on plush couches, sleeping with apparent peace.

There is also a crate of what appears to be very simplified cameras. They have all the bare essentials and only one button, number of shots left reads "1"]

If you could show someone their heart, what would you choose? Would it be their greatest weakness, or their greatest hopes? Would what you choose have any meaning, and can a single image make a difference?



((NOTE: IF YOU ARRIVE LATE please PM Aviy to ask for a heart to enter.
