Sabra La Tau

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Messenger's Year 1, Day 1
What: Closing Time.

[Ptou reforms, sand solidifying into marble, the robes, tattered, become the tapestries of royalty and a thin, circular crown sits on his head.

He stares down at the ground a long moment, silent.]

Is that... it?

Is this what it's like?

FINAL DEPARTURE

If any links are misdirected or missing, PM Claude! ))

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena again
When: STOP. ZOMBIE TIME (part two, earthtime edition)
What:

[The battle continues, friend against friend, lover against lover and team against team. Staring down at it all, the King's face seems unusually haggard, hairline fractures forming every time another bracer shatters for those who watch closely.

It's every now and then, with no regular pattern or strength, you hear something rumble, followed by the ground under your feet shuddering.

But this really isn't the time to worry about that, is it? You hear a snap of fingers, and those who have been blessed by the King feel the quiet thrum of power, electricity at their fingertips.]

I think we've had enough games don't you? Ophiuchus, subdue the remainder.

Who: All Ophi, traitor and loyal, all Blanks. Good ended DO NOT hear the call, but can come
Where: The Arena
When: :)
What: Ladies and Gentleman, we understand that you have come to bear witness to the sound of drums and bass.

[As you enter the arena today, it is like you have stepped into a gala floor. Round tables with black and white checkers are arranged in a semi circle around the southern corners of the room, leaving the vast majority of the marble floor open for dancing. Austere marble pillars break the expanse of the floor in neat rows, affording a couple a moment of privacy as needed. Against the east wall, a bar is set with several classy appetizers, and a single platter of ten shrimp next to a crystal punch bowl.

At the very end of the expansive room, a black marble stage has a band set up, and ready to play. Behind that, stretching up and up, is a regal black throne. No one sits on it yet.

The double doors close after the last of you with a certain finality.]

Welcome, my dear blanks. And welcome to your guests as well! Quite unexpected to see so many familiar faces again. It does bring back memories, doesn't it?

I do hope you'll find the festivities to your liking. I know we've had our differences in the past, but I've put quite a bit of effort into ensuring that everything goes perfectly. As long as everyone, and that does include the delightful guests you've brought along, stays on their best behavior, I think we'll get along quite nicely.

((OOC: WE BEGIN! First event begins in an hour 8PM EST.)

(( OOC: OPEN TO ALL, put locations in comment titles, use post for all your Parting Words needs! ))

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: :'D
Where: Ophiuchus dorms
When: Day 205, post-game
What: :'DD

[There is currently an Ophi who decided to stay in today. He appears to be taken up with writing down notes and smiling to himself--outright grinning or even laughing at some points. Oh dear.]

See, see? I knew this was the best way to go about things~

Who:  EVERYONE 8D
Where:  ARENA 8D
When: Day 205, late afternoon/early evening 
What:  JOY AND RAINBOWS, Game 124

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: Ophiuchus!1
Where: Ophiuchus!!!1
When: Day 194, nighhhtttttt? after the pillar run
What: [ GRIPE GRIPE GRIPE ]

. . . love is over.

Who: :'D
Where: Various common areas!
When: Day 193, noon-ish
What: THINGS. ARE. HAPPENING~

[dear colored blanks. one of your favorite Ophiuchus is taking the time to wander about. this time, however, it's more that he's taking stock of what's around him than of who's around him. either way, there is pent up excitement excitement excitement]

Maa... I wonder what'll happen next.

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Deep under the Arena
When: Day 193, early morning
What: Reassignments

[Last night, Ophiuchus felt more keenly than any other area the rumblings and ravages of the earthquake. However, before the rumble even became a roar, the stones mended themselves, drawers righted... and the snake hissed its agitation and displeasure.

It would say nothing of the events... Only that he would speak to the King in the morning. As the torches start gathering light, the Guardian begins the evening with a fainter rumble than the night previous, and those Ophiuchus waking up, will find those changes again. Uraeus has once again reclaimed the top, while Uroboros is just a little behind. Caduceus...]

... Caduceus... Keepersss of the wessst.

[It is a summons, rather than a statement.]

Who: Uraeus and YOU
Where: By the arena
When: Day 190, early evening
What: MINI GAME


[There's a really loud siren. Loud and annoying. So annoying, in fact, that you kind of want to come by and see who's making that racket and telling them to shut up. The sound leads to towards the arena, where you see some Uraeus busy with setting... SOMETHING up.


Also most of them are wearing safety headphones.]

Who: Syaoran, Watanuki + anyone
Where: The lake
When: Day 189, evening.
What: Shenanigans

[So, this happened! And now a pair of soaking-wet noodles are crawling back out of the lake.

This one is trying very hard not to have a panic attack right then and there.]

Who: Claude, etc
Where: Orpheus grounds
When: Day 185, noon
What: Dehiatus

* Blank returning from his super important mission!!1 making a beeline for Cepheus dorms *

* also with a considerable scattering of fluffy owlfeathers sticking out of his hair and clothes :|a *

Who: Anyone!
Where: Common area!
When: Day 185, morning
What: BULLHORN

Hello~ everyone, there's a new challenge for you all! Report to the Arena!

[And once you get there, two Ophiuchus are waiting - River and Slick. There are also three budgie birds hopping here and there, one blue, one yellow, and one pink, from shoulder to shoulder. You could swear they were giggling.]

Who: Pecha, anyone
Where: Ophiuchus
When: Day 184, noon-ish
What: Many many things and possibly ADVENTURE

[in the common area of the black team's dorms, an Uroboros is currently looking over his notes and maybe looking a bit exasperated]

That game, I want to know what happened, every instant... a lot probably changed. Ahhh, everything might be different.

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: Uraeus dorms
When: Day 181, night
What:

[There is a young squidrat in the Uraeus dorms. It seems upset, come and try to guess why]

Who: (?・・)σ you?
Where: Ophiuchus
When: Day 181, moooorning
What: Haha, I wonder!

[long stairs are long or maybe short--either way, new Ophi making his way to the main room!]

Oya? This is a bit less than I was expecting.

Who: Anybody
Where: By the lake
When: Day 180, afternoon
What: Mission completion

[you may have noticed a dozen Blanks in Lynx and Corvus uniforms moving pre-constructed parts to the lake this morning! by noon, something has begun to take shape by the lake shore . . . something towering and monstrous and green]

[congratulations, Sabra! you now have a fifteen-foot high statue of ZIM (placed carefully on a rock outcropping to give it another five feet of height!!), made of carefully constructed bits of wood, rope, bamboo, rock, metal, leather, . . . the works. despite being a scrap monstrosity, it's at least recognizable, down to the thing's kind of horrifying face, and the green paint covering most of it]

[. . . and the laser eyes. that periodically just go off. though . . . at most, they'll just scorch you a little. but laser eyes!!1]

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The Ophi Dorms
When: Day 180, early morning
What:

[Again, it is far before most are awake when the snake, sated and sleepy with its own offerings of meat recently, that it lifts its head, listening again.]

It changesssss already. Sssso be it.

[The dorms rumble again, those who wake up, all find their clothing and surroundings a little different..]

((OOC: This month, Uroboros jumps ahead of Uraeus by one point! Leaving Caduceus as last in place. We start a new activity period! Any trinkets you may have acquired as a reward you keep, however basic luxuries and levels of comfort have changed!))

Who: Uraeus + Blanks
Where: Near the Arena
When: Day 177, noon
What: MINI-GAME


[Ophiuchus game~ There is a stack of chef clothing in a pile in your team colours and several fire pits all set up. Gee I wonder what this could be.]
