Who: Lepus, visitors
Where: Lepus dorms
When: Day 134, afternoon
What: Looking for food

[There is a slender girl with long, black hair and huge wings picking up a stool and taking a bite out of one of the legs. She chews for a second, makes a disgusted face, and spits it out.]

Well, that don't taste real good, neither. What's a girl gotta do to get some decent food around here?

Who: Everyone!
Where: Arena
When: Day 132, evening
What: Game time!

[The Call to the Arena today is the simple sound of hammer on metal. Rhythmic, tireless it's almost a marching tune to those who happened to hear and follow it.

When you enter the Arena bare land quickly gives way to drifts of snow and barren, snow-striped trees. The further you go in, the deeper and deeper the snow gets. By the time you can make out the broad, grinning statue on the throne between gusts of snow laden wind, the snow chest-deep on most.

In the center, at the statues feet are two very welcome things at this point: Fur wraps of some unknown white animal large enough to drape around you and a metal pot of hot chocolate and several ceramic cups.]

HA HA HA! Bit of an effort wasn't it? I had to get your blood pumping for this one! Everyone warmed up?

[a man is sitting on a bed in a room, listening over and over to a strange message. the door is open so he has at least made some sort of attempt to leave... only to be drawn back to the message. do you investigate y/n]


((peace out, dudes and dudettes! I've gotta sleep!))

Who: ...SOMEONE AWESOME >8F
Where: TERAPEDE COUNTRY
When: Day 130, afternoon
What: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

[Should you follow the sound of demonic laughter wafting into the civilized areas of Sabra La Tau, you will find a bracerless creature in rags that are not the color of brown they are supposed to be, sitting atop the corpse of a particularly large fatty lizard. In between bursts of being very loud, he is munching on a raw foreleg.]

[By the way, there are sure an awful lot of holes out here...]

[A conveyor belt pops out of the ground- wait, no, three conveyor belts, and there are twelve cardboard boxes and one of the conveyor belts is going to fire and one is going to CHAIN SAWS and one is going though some black flaps to a room labeled "FRIENDLY PUPPIES."]

OK, that's it! No more Mr. Nice Trickster! EVERYBODY PUT A POPUL- -OM YOUR TEAM IN A BOX.

Where: Near the river.
When: Day 121, late afternoon.
What:

[There's a table with four cards on it, with Kariya standing behind it, and a sign:

GUESS THE ACE : Prizes Negotiable. Price: 1 guess = 1/2 Food Ration Other Favors Considered Limit two guesses per Blank.

[how it works]

Who: Mikaila, Bunnycorn, whoever
Where: By Lepus dorm
When: Night 118
What: De-judgenapping Mikaila

[The Lepus dorm is now minus one bloody hand print and plus one zombie brushing herself off after getting up from where the wall spat her out. She's grumbling about the dirt on her uniform, but other than that is pretty un-traumatized for having been judge-napped by Haunted]

Ooh, now I'll have to have this washed!

Who: Blanks!
Where: The Arena!
When: Night 115 LATE
What: boy howdy who gave Ash a bullhorn

Attention Blanks! Before ya settle down to sleep, ya better stop by the Arena! And don't worry, no games involved! Kinda sorta!

Who? Anybody
Where? The Arena
When? Day 115, evening
What? I wonder...

[Man, didn't you just see this Judge? Well, today's game is Persona again, and she appears to be back to her usual modus operandi - unconscious people in black chairs. Today's victims are Excel, Kaito, Nora, Kohaku, Almaz, and Tailmon. Rather than the usual doors with colored assignments, however, there's simply one enormous black door, standing before the statue.]

Did you know that a heart is only as strong as its weakest link? That hidden in the darkness of cracks and corners, there are fears and insecurities the heart would be better off without? If I told you that you are to kill a piece of the heart today, something with real presence, such as a face and a voice... how would you respond? Would you forfeit the Game? Or would you make an attempt to improve the heart by rooting out and destroying a source of weakness?

Who: Anybody
Where: The Arena
When: Day 113, late morning
What: Game 76 conclusion

[As you step into the Arena, the titles fade away, as well as the strangeness that accompanied them. By the time you reach the Judge's statue, you feel normal again. Around said statue, there are tables set up, with color-coded tablecloths.]

Would you go ahead and put your photos on display for everyone to see? Once you are done, would you mind answering a few short questions?


((Photos are here; go ahead and peruse/talk about them in the mingle thread, and questions will be up shortly. I will close the votes at a quarter to 6:00, and announce winners at 6:00. Titleswaps were here, for easy reference.

ETA: GAME IS OVER. All photos may be kept, but all cameras disappear))

Who: Anyone
Where: Just outside your dorms
When: Day 112, as you're getting back from the game
What: Mysteeeeeeerious boxes!

[The boxes read simply, 'From Persona'. Inside each box, you find what appear to be cheap Polaroid cameras, should you recognize the technology. One per (non-hiatused) teammate. They're very simplistic; a button, a slot, and a number indicating how many photos are left (they each start at 12). Underneath the cameras, there is also a binder in your team's color, with the word 'Memories' embossed on the cover. It's full of plastic sheets to slide the pictures into.]

((Log the photos your characters are taking here

ETA: You have until tomorrow's post (3:30 pm pst-ish) to log photos. You don't have to use all the photos, and you don't have to log photos that you're not putting into the binder and turning in to Persona tomorrow. Or you can just leave the whole thing at home, since Persona didn't actually tell you what to do with the cameras, being Persona.))

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 112, morning
What: Game 76

[Persona presides over the Arena today, but the usual doors, couches, and unconscious people are conspicuously absent. The moment you step into the Arena, you feel strange. Not like yourself. And there's another change...]

[You can suddenly see everyone's titles, and your own, as clearly as if they had been there all along. However, something seems a little off...]

Is a person born or made? What impact does the way that others perceive us influence the selves deep down in our hearts? And what if you were to look through the eyes of another? What do you think you'll learn?

Who: Nora, peoples
Where: Wherever
When: Day 111, anytime
What: Puppy is booored


*Somewhere, wherever you happen to be walking, there is a puppy lying across the floor. To one side of him is a steak-shaped chew-toy, and he's chewing on a rawhide bone. He's also got a TAZIN' STICK within reach which. Also looks like it's been gnawed on. gnawgnawgnawgnaw*

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 111, Late Morning
What: Game!!1

[The lights don’t seem quite as bright as they usually are in the arena today. The dimmed lights make it impossible to see far into the arena, but even so the grand Victorian mansion taking up the centre of it would be difficult to miss. It looks like it could have seen better days, the paint flaking off and a few of the glass panes of the windows broken. The curtains are all drawn on the first of the three floors, making it neigh impossible to take a peek inside. The front of the mansion is adorned with six doors in a row though, each door’s frame painted in two colours, one door for every pair of partner teams.]

[Behind the mansion, on top of the throne, sits a new statue in complete silence. And despite the lack of head, you might feel as if you’re being closely watched by it.]

[Of course, once you make your way into the arena you might care about neither of the things mentioned above, because sitting in a circle are eleven familiar shapes, the twelfth shape being a pair of Groucho Marx glasses. If you look closely enough you can see how they are still breathing, if very faintly. And floating above each and everyone of them, well out of reach from you, is a tiny rag doll replica of the unconscious blank (or little dollsized glasses in case of Dingbatticus).]

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When:Day 111, Morning
What: Missing Blanks

[Whenever you wake up this morning you'll find out that someone in your team seems to be missing, if you try to look for them it seems like they have vanished without a trace... aside from the bloody handprint on the front door of your dorm that's a matching size to the hand of your missing teammate.]


((Mitsuru, Scowl, Rex, Jace, Zuko, Lady, Revan, Zero, Nibs, Van, Syaoran are the ones that are gone! Pavo is mysteriously untouched, instead a pair of Groucho Marx glasses (with opaque lenses) are missing from Dingbatticus. Volunteer IC post is over here.))
