What is going on here?

Who: ???
Where: The Arena
When: Day ??????1 Afternoon
What:

[ Today the Temperance sits on the throne- in one hand her hammer, and in the other her shield. Just as she always looks.

And oh, look. It’s your old friend the War Rooms. ]

Welcome, Blanks. Certainly most among you are not so unfamiliar with this arrangement. No use making faces about it. Face it bravely, and such courage shall see you to victory and peace.

As always, we shall play a game of defenses. Who shall you protect? Who shall protect you? Whose offense is to be the most feared? Speak to your comrades and enemies now, for once the rules are set, each color shall face this battle alone.

((Hi there! Mingle will go an hour or so, as Lady still has some setup to do. If you would like to have your characters remember the Temperence, please feel free to. Her games are usually hard, but she is never herself cruel or unfair. She was very proud when you all managed to survive her last game.

Who: ???
Where: Your bedroom in the North Block of Sabra La Tau
When: Day ??????1 Morning
What:

[ You wake up in one of the terrible, cramped North Block rooms with a pounding headache. You remember it. You remember your te@%N~ati0n, you remember the Games and the G01010001101udges. You remember the stone. The whispers of rebellion. You remember . . . desperation. Next to you is a brass tube, where you can see yourself repeating one word over and over in a tiny garbled recording:


"willingl-willingl-willingl-willingl-willingl-" ]



((ETA: to clarify, you do not remember anything explicitly that happened "after" Sabra, and the events of the last weeks are vague at best.))

Who: Some ant???
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 291, late-afternoon
What:

[SUDDENLY. GIANT ANT CRAWLING ALONG STALAGMITES AND CAVE WALLS NEAR LYVUS'S FORTRESS. ITS FEELERS SEEM TO BE... WELL. FEELING AROUND FOR SOMETHING, MANDIBLES EXCITABLY MOVING.

WHAT DO?]

Who: BUNN--oh wait no. Lyvus and a couple Monos
Where: LYVUS!1

What: welp

[and then Lenalee brought home two unicorns]

. . .

(Their dorms are cleaner than ours!)

Who: Whoever!
Where: In and around Lyvus
When: Day 283, afternoonish
What: oh no it's a lawyer

[If you're anywhere near Lyvus today, you might notice this older dude hanging around the entrance. or inside. or wherever is best for him to meet people.]

Uh, hello? Anybody home? ( If not, this is going to be an awfully lonely bunch of caves. )

Who: Lyvus
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 280, morning post-game
What: General Lyvus fallout, maybe some memories etc.

[WELL DONE LYVUS WAY TO NOT DIE AT ALL IN A DOOM GAME AND WIN AND GET MEMORIES THIS WAS SUCCESS oh god I need water]

Who: ANYONE
Where: Dorm Area
When: Day 275, early evening
What: WHAT'S THAT COMING OVER THE HILL

[... just your not-so-friendly neighbourhood BIGASS TENTACLE MONSTER staggering around on its oversized, almost leg-like roots. :')]

[SCREEEEEEEEEECH]

((OOC: I am totes happy to handwave timelines for anybody who wants to have a shot at beating up a giant rampaging plant.))

Who: Honor, friends, team, strangers, gawkers...
Where: The lake. (May move to Lyvus)
When: Day 274, mid-evening
What: Mirror returns a plaything...

[well, if you didn't notice the wonky reflections, the fact fully clothed Blanks are crawling out of the lake is a good indication that Mirror is out and about]

[normally has a ribbon holding back her hair, but currently it's missing and her hair is in her face... a face that seems subtly altered if you look past the messy hair]

[also, she's moving a lot less confidently as she wades to the shore]

Who: Lyvus
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 273, post game
What: Memory time

[Huh the house sure is quiet I wonder where everyone is I guess I will make myself some tea and oh there's the door--]

Why are you all wet?

Who: Dagger, Lyvus
Where: Not too far from the Lyvress
When: Day 267, morning
What: De-pillarings

[The torches can't have been lit for more than an hour at most when someone is finally approaching the Lyvress fortress. He has definitely been in better shape before, and the boy keeps throwing nervous glances behind his shoulder, as if to check if someone is actually there. It might also be pretty obvious that he is avoiding any cave walls like the plague. That the fortress is still around is definitely a good sign though, so he's hurrying to reach it as best as he can. When he does reach the door, it takes a hesitant minute until he dares to reach out his hand and knock on it though.]

...Hello...? Is anyone there...?

[Please may they not have been taken too :(]

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: Lyvus & visitors
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 259, afternoon into evening
What: Team meeting!

[so, shit is going down. let's stress cook again and have a team meeting yeahhhh]

Who: Lyvus & visitors
Where: Lyvus
When: Day 256, first thing in the morning
What: Breakfast!

[It's hard to tell if Lelouch actually slept at night, he's up so early and basically . . . cooking the most elaborate breakfast possible for team. The table already has food set out, and if you're looking for Lelouch, he's still in the kitchen. Forever. Cook all the feelings.]

Who: A NEW LYVUS KID + Lyvus + visitors??
Where: Area around Lyvus fortress
When: Day 254, early evening
What:

[a boy in Lynx clothing is WALKING UP TO YOU AND INSPECTING YOU]

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?

((Mingle/Healing | Revivals | Team Posts: Hydra | Vulpecula | Pyxis | Cygnus | Monoceros | Lepus | Lacerta | Cepheus | Canis | Ursa | Orion | Cetus | Pavo | Delphinus | Lynx | Corvus))

((POSTS ARE NOW UNLOCKED ♥ Also: Orbs may be shared for revivals only. You may not share them to purchase any of the other items in the post-game "store".))

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 253, Early Afternoon
What: :)

[Back to the arena of colored torches you go. Those with dead or injured will feel a strong compulsion to bring them along as well, feeling a strange assurance that this is the right thing to do. Game Master is seated in the throne again, hands folded before him as he regards the approaching blanks from beneath his hood. He seems to be sitting a little straighter today . . . and today, he speaks.]

So many interesting decisions yesterday, and yet . . . it feels lacking. I’ve been disappointed. A change of plan is in order, I feel.

Today and today only will I be gracious enough to return your dead to you. Following this round, you will each be required to exchange a number of orbs in order to see your dead comrades returned to you. A mere price of ten orbs for the lives of your loved ones. Will you play with more seriousness? Perhaps you'll be able to afford the cost if you choose to do so.

You may begin your next round as soon as your dead are returned to you.

Who: You
Where: The Arena
When: Day 252, evening
What:

[It's been quite a long time since anyone was drawn in by this particular call, to a dark Arena filled with colored torches. And yet, for those of you who remember it, there's something a bit off; and Game Master himself seems unnaturally quiet today...]

Who: Lyvus, visitors, passersby
Where: Lyvress and nearby environs
When: Day 250, early evening
What:

[Tonight if you're passing by the Lyvress, you may be startled by a streak of light flashing overhead. It seems to be coming from the roof, but that's less important than what happens when it passes high over the river....]

( behold! )

[It's the first of many; a spectacular blaze of fireworks of every shape and color, though purple and silver predominate. Somehow, whoever's making them has even managed to create fireworks in the shape of ravens and lynxes, bursting to brilliant and motion for seconds, before fading.

It seems like it'll go on for some time. You may as well enjoy the show.]

((Will be running this post all weekend, most likely; tag in whenever.))
