Sabra La Tau

Who: PYXIS
Where: PYXIS
When: Day 303..............
What: PYXIS!!!!!!!!

[AND THEN IT WAS PYXISMAS]

Who: Anyone
Where: Outside Pyxis
When: Day 263, Later afternoon
What:

[There is a very beautiful young man handsomely clad in the Pyxis girls' uniform, who has just come down from the Pyxis spare bedroom and is now standing outside Pyxis in some confusion]

...Ah?

Who: Monoceros (+any Lepus or Pygnus or whoever derping about)
Where: Monodorms
When: Day 259, later afternoon
What:

[DINNER FOR ALL IS MADE. It's....cabbage soup today aww yeah]

[all the chores are done]

[. . .]

[what do]

(I feel like this is a sign to do something I've been putting off. . .)

Who: P . . .yxis?
Where: NOT IN OUR DORMS
When: Day 258, getting later
What: [FFFFFFFFuck I can not even look at that thing.]




All right, we- . . . we need to figure out where we'll go, for tonight . . .

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: Nutcracker, anyone
Where: On the way back to Pyxis
When: Day 257, morning
What: Coming home

[One Pyxis is stumbling home in heels and in this outfit. Her face is flushed and she reeks of alcohol. At least she's walking in the right direction, more or less.]

Who: Trigger
Where: all over the damn place
When: Day 257, early morning
What: FUCK YEAH FREE RUNNING

[Rather than her normal morning jog along flat earth, today That Crazy Pyxis is aiming herself straight at every obstacle possible: simply leaping over if it's small enough, vaulting herself over some taller, or simply scaling straight up anything too tall for that. She's got some serious scamper for a tiny person carrying a bazooka.]

Who: Anyone
Where: Through the northeastern tunnels
When: Day 257, early (feel free to backdate before this)
What:

[It's been quiet, as it had been since the start. In fact, Blanks could almost manage to ignore that there IS another presence beyond the ruins between the times she makes herself known.

It's not like the last time, the light as it rips through the perpetual darkness of Sabra does not abate immediately... nor is it a quiet thing, those hunting may feel the ground shake and many might hear the shriek, wordless, almost incoherent before both dies away hoarsely.

Do you approach?]

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: 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...]

Where: Vulpecula
When: Day 248, mid-afternoon
What: VISITS hopefully when the rest of Vulp is out...

[there is the most timid knocking on the... wherever you knock on the skull dorm]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 248, Morning
What: Good Ends

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then 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: Red and Black with Silver lining. One bears the sigil of the compass, pointing steadily down the path and the other shows a hooded cobra in the weave. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table, filled with punch, and several large party platters.]

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

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 245, morning
What: We all need more aftermath posts right?

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 244, evening
What: There sure was a raptocalypse 8(

[As evening falls, it's time to deal with those pesky bloodstains, debilitating injuries and frostbite. Cheer up kids, chicks dig scars!]

Where:
When: Day 242, after Good Ends
What: Game~

[once the festivities have died down and King has left, a familiar voice echoes through the ring:]

Wait, Blanks. You aren't free to go just yet.

[Please sign in with your name and team name! No penalties for this game either. Also, if you went to Good Ends and don't want to play (or vice versa), that's totally fine. Assume you snuck out early/came late/whatever works.]

When: Day 240, late afternoon
What: >8(((!!

[LAWYER IS WALKING HOME. is it just you, or does his uniform look more grayish. then yellow. then white again :|a]

Honestly, the least he could do was leave me at my doorstep. . .

Who: Blanks!
Where: Arena!
When: Day 239, late morning
What: Game!

Why, who could be calling you to the arena today? The call seems familiar, but a bit strange, too - a little bit warped. When you arrive, there are eight doors, color-coded according to partner teams, and on the throne is someone you might not have seen running a game for quite some time!

It's Waterbearer, and... he looks like absolute shit. As well as featuring the sort of skinniness you'd only see on someone with severe digestive parasites, his normal pose is different- the clay jar, sporting several hairline cracks now, is toppled over at his knees, water gushing everywhere. His hands hang limply (or as limply as a statue can hang) at his sides, dripping with water that seems unusually muddy.

The statue seems to have been damaged in places - as though someone with very strong fingers had gouged out parts of the statue's face, throat and arms. Everywhere one of these gouges can be seen, thick, muddy water drips out and onto the arena floor.

Unsurprisingly, he's crying - it sounds different than his usual sniffling, though. This is the kind of crying that borders on outright hysteria. In fact, forget the borders. It is hysterical psychosobbing.

“W... wh... why? I cuh-cuh-can't- h-he's ... I c-can't get him out, I c-can't-
I can't-

I can't

I-it's not fair, i-it's not right, I can't, I can't, but m-maybe, maybe if...”

And then his crying just dissolves into an anguished wail.

Around you, the color-coded doors unlock with a soft click.

Who: IT IS MYSTERY
Where: Coming from the direction of off in the caves somewhere
When: Day 237, evening
What: OMGWTFBBQ!!!


What the hell?! Why is it all different?!

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 200, very early morning
What:

HaHA! Well, that’s enough of that, isn’t it?

[You awaken. You are lying on the Arena floor, in exactly the same health as when you answered the last Call. It seems like ... everyone is here, though some are slower to wake that others.

As you lift your head... you see possibly the most enormous spider you could ever imagine... were it intact and not well broken and torn to pieces, ichor covering a great deal of the Arena. As you watch, it is crumbling, becoming sand... and simply falling away as if it never were. Beside it, an empty loom cracks and falls apart piece by piece as well.

Enormous bloody pawprints lead away towards the Arena doors.

The King is on the throne.]

Up a little late aren’t you? I would run along now, if I were you.
