Sabra La Tau

[Endgame. The final frontier.

These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

It's ongoing mission, is to get a hell of a lot of people home. Deal with disturbingly well mannered velociraptors as roommates. Help get old ant workers used to two feet again. And occasionally jettison Horn off into space at random intervals.

To boldly seek out new universes and parallel dimensions. To party hard as it has never been done before.]

Who: Beardog and Friends
Where: Around Ursa
When: Day 269, Evening
What:

[When Ursa comes home this evening there is a lot of noises coming from their kitchen, drawers are being slammed and it sounds like someone is rummaging around their belongings. Thankfully it's not a burglar, but a tiny teenage girl in Ursa brown tunics that have recently woken up.]

This one is no good, no good.

[She's also currently looking at kitchen knives.]

Who: Lyvus & visitors
Where: Outside Lyvress
When: Day 265, morning
What: Lelouch's teammates going missing is a severe interruption to his morning routine and he highly suspects they have been called to a game that he has missed and he is going to do laundry in the river and fret a lot and this way he can see if they come home and—

W-WHY ARE YOU ALL SMALL!?

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 265, bright and early (to leave room for folks who need to backdate things)
What: the BEST GAME EVER

[The pull is especially insistent today, if kind of ... wobbly? It's a weird feeling. Almost nauseating.

And for good reason, because once you get there you will see that everyone's ~favorite~ judge is seated on her throne. Except -- your reflections in her statue are extra wobbly today. And Mirror herself is laughing herself silly, her words slurred.]

Oh! Oh! This will be hilarious! The faces they'll make.

[There are also seventeen small buildings in the room, made of mirrored glass and set up much like your good ol' War Room games. What could be in there??]


[ MINGLE | ROOMS | AFTER-MINGLE | THREAD SUBMISSION (until 8 PM EST on Thursday) ]

Who: Anyone at all
Where:  The Arena
When: Day 264, late morning
What:  A game!

[The Twins are out today in the Arena's center, lovely stone faces bright with amusement, the round table just before the statue draped with an odd cloth of shimmering grey. On it stand clean, empty glasses and pitchers of juice- cranberry, pomegranate, blueberry, and several that are unidentifiable. Clean bowls are here as well, and a massive platter with a serving spoon and what seems to be cucumbers and tomatoes marinated in some sort of tangy dressing. Beside it, on a separate platter, stand segments of coconut sliced into pieces as regular as that of a pie, and whole, fresh figs. Spiraling out from the central table like spokes on a wheel are smaller tables, also circular, draped in each partnerteam set's colors. These are set with ornate, high-backed chairs, each sporting a cushion upon its seat.]

A pleasant morning to you, little blanks. I have another game for you, and my sister has been gracious enough to help me arrange it. Do make yourselves comfortable, hm~? We'll be getting started any minute now.

Who: Dani, WHOEVER
Where: Lizardking.
When: 263, Evening.
What:

[There is a tiny hanging outside Lizardking. Playing with her Corgi Gabriel and just being adorable.]

Get the reed, boy! No, don't chew it, it won't last if you do that.

Who: Dummies
Where: Hydracula
When: Day 263, early evening
What:

[Up on the hat, there is a man looming over piles of body parts - arms, legs, torsos, and heads. At his feet, Lucky takes her knife to the hands, chopping away without mercy or compunction.]

[To make matters worse, get close enough and you'll see that Lucky isn't butchering people at all; she's simply having a good, wholesome time making enough dummies to replace an entire team.]

[By the way, Scowl 2.0 has become Rex 3.0. You can tell because he has a headband, no shirt, and the stupidest-looking face she could draw.]

Who: uhh...
Where: umm...
When: Day 261, afternoon
What: errr...

[If you were near the northern outskirts of the habitated area, you might have heard the crash; a whir of pure speed, a cut-off profanity in sonic boom, and then the crunch of flesh and bone against solid rock.

Or in other words, Lucky done A-T'd herself into the wall.

It's not long before she's wandered back into the lit area, skating around in confused zig-zags. Her clothes are dirty and tattered, and blood runs down her face. It probably look worse than it is, really.

Really, the only surprising thing is why this didn't happen sooner.]

Helllooooo?

Who: Nutcracker, Aura, anyone
Where: Canis and Ursa
When: Day 259, late afternoon
What: Flowers!

[If you were home during the afternoon, two girls have been hard at work sprucing up first Ursa, then Canis, with flowers - small bouquets here and there. Much fun was had.

And now they seem to be busy working on... flower crowns?]

Who: Canis
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 258, immediately after EVENTS (backdate)
What: Team meeting

*after Jace gets back from what used to be Cygnus, he's rounding up his teammates and some tea.*

We need to talk. It's kind of serious.

Who: All the good little anti-entropy engine girls and boys and others
Where: On the way back towards the dorms
When: Day 258, evening, so very shortly after Good Ends
What:

[As the festivities end and it’s time to head back to dorms, there seems to hang an uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with bittersweet goodbyes. The particularly astute may notice an uncomfortable stillness about; not a living thing is out and active, save the Blanks. Even the river seems stilled, as if holding its breath. The more sensitive can probably feel it coming, whatever it is. Even the insensitive may find something about the walk home distasteful.]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 258
What: Good Ends

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing to every part of Sabra—a regal crescendo of notes followed by anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is that strange darkened landscape again...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation between up and down, walls or even the floor. You can only see the throne in the far off distance, and two pathways each covered with a lush carpet: one pink, the other a dark blue. One bears the sigil of the graceful swan, wings outspread and flying toward the path's end, while a hunting dog bounds down the second, intent on its target. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table holing a punch bowl and several large party platters.

However, should you follow either of the pathways, the landscape begins to change...]

Who: Everyone!
Where: The Arena
When: Day 258, bright and early
What: A game

[The arena is quiet and a chill is in the air. There are cribs--splintered and dingy and decaying with a faded coat of paint which might be your team’s color. At the moment they stand empty, though occasionally they rock from side to side, as though swayed by wind which cannot be felt. Despite the early hour, the light is dim here. Haunted’s voice drifts down from the headless statue, quieter than during her early games, raspier, more serious.]

The time grows late, but there's always time to play a little game, isn't there? It won't take very long. Unless you make it so...

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 257, Late Afternoon
What: Minigame!

[Remember this noise? IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.

When blanks arrive in the arena they'll find boxes in their team colors arranged in a semi-circle in front of Kaito.]

Alright, you shits. It's time to do some real work.


[OOC: This will be a take home minigame! Entries will be due by Sunday, so hopefully no one will feel rushed :|b]

Who: Ursa and visitors
Where: Ursa dorms
When: Day 257, afternoonish
What: New kid probably doesn't like you.

[he also just managed to make it outside his room before leaning against the door, rubbing his eyes. if you catch sight of them underneath his rat's nest hair, you'll notice they have ~spiral patterns~ and ~reflect the depths of darkness~ and have some ~gold flecks~ in them. good thing they're mostly covered, huh.]

... These lights are annoying.

Who: Beardog
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 255, after the game
What: Cookies! And maybe partnerteam bonding I guess

*tonight in beardog the Canis common room is featuring a nice small chest full of cookies, which clearly must be consumed. also there is delicious tea :3*

It wouldn't be bad if there were more games like today's, I think...

Who: Everybody~
Where: Arena
When: Day 255, eveningtime
What: :3(\

[ The OMINOUSLY FOREBODING CALL OF DOOM that summons you to the Arena this evening......... the giggling of teenage girls in triplicate. And a dramatic sigh or two. As you arrive you might just be in time to catch part of a conversation: ]

--and it’s been like, y’know, so boring lately, right? Ugh. And I mean all that dark emo stuff’s kinda hot sometimes, but it gets like so totally old when like, everyone’s doing it. So not cute.

I know, right? It’s totally up to us now. Let’s do something fun for a change. ♥

Who: Ursa and visitors
Where: Ursa dorms
When: Day 254, afternoon :D?
What: Good morning!! Sort of.

[Someone was exploring the dorm a while ago, but now there's just someone who managed his way into the kitchen and is making himself a sandwich.

He woke up hungry, okay. Don't judge.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 254, Morning
What: :)

[Back to the arena once more, colored torches still lighting the area. That same encouraging urge to bring your dead and injured along is there as well, and Game Master sits on the throne again, but this time his gaze is turned towards a large pedestal placed at the base of the throne.]

Welcome once more, blanks. You will find your outcomes in your rooms. Go now, and see which of you were rewarded, which of you fell into debt. Will you be satisfied with the way you wielded your fates? And for your dead . . . how many of you, I wonder, will be able to pay the price?
