Who: Lepus!! And spectators.
Where: TO THE AMPHITHEATER
When: Day 211, Morning
What: BIZARRO PARADE

[As you go about your daily business this morning, you might notice Lepus marching all in a nice little line in the direction of THE AMPHITHEATER. They are carrying the following items:

- An old school video camera
- White lab coats
- Some really cheap-looking medical props (stethoscope, bucket, etc)

... Follow?]

Who: AMANITA!1 BRYONY!11 OTHER PEOPLE????
Where: At an abandoned dorm
When: Day 208, SOMETIME IN THE DAY???
What: DANGER IS SPELLED L E P U S, LEPUS

[ at one of the many abandoned dorms scattered around the block there issssss some Lepus. And Some Lepus definitely has two metal claws sticking out of each hand. And boy, oh, boy, some Lepus is most definitely cutting the hell out of this dorm wall.

What is the plural of Lepus? Lepuses? Either way, there is Some Other Lepus also destroying stuff.

Lepus therapy :|b ]

Who: Bunnycorn and visitors
Where: Tower Bunnycorn
When: Day 207, Midday
What: Getting Bunnycorn together, maybe memories


[everything is clean and new, nothing is broken... also we have memories 8|a]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 205, early afternoon

[Little has changed since you left, other than the light suffusing the Arena is brighter, in time with the day.

As the last of the teams file in, possessions in hand, pushed or pulled behind, the water seeping into the Arena seems to simply be drawn out.

The eastern doors groan, shudder and swing shut with a final, echoing boom. The soft sound of sobbing and water halts just as suddenly. One of the helper ants begins chewing on a wall idly.]

That out of the way! Lets get a little organized, shall we? Please head to the Southern Gate, and line up by partner teams.

Ah, and yes, Cepheus and Lacerta are now partners. Moving on!

Who: Anyone!
Where: Anywhere there's water
When: Day 204, noon o'clock
What: Reflective surfaces :|a

[Gosh, there sure is a lot of water in the caves now. Places that weren't wet now have wide (but still shallow) puddles, while many of the lower sections are completely flooded. With all that water about and the torches at their zenith ... there is a hell of a lot more reflective surfaces about. Huge swaths of reflective surfaces where there used to be none at all.

Best watch your step. Strange images swim through the murky water, and many of them resemble Blanks. And every now and then, a woman with black hair and no eyes drifts under your feet, watching everything.]


(( OOC: GENERAL MINGLE FOR WATER ANTICS!! and also Mirror is going to do a little touching :3 If you want civil vs. touchings!! (or vice versa), note it and I shall take heed. Otherwise, we'll see where things go. Put your location in the thread title so others can jump you too! ))

Who: Anyone
Where: Wherever
When: Day 204, noon-ish
What: taking a walk CAREFULLY

[so blank who's been keeping himself cooped up is now venturing out of doors and is pointedly avoiding any wet spots or signs of mud. might also be attempting to hunt for a lizard or something, but scarce food is scarce]

Had to be a goddamn flood, didn't it?

Who: A LOT OF PEOPLE
Where: Delphinus
When: Day 203, evening, after dinner
What: A little get together

[SO THIS AFTERNOON everyone got bags of DELICIOUS model-building materials. In that bag was slipped a note! Perhaps you thought they were instructions or something else but upon unfolding the little square of paper you would have discovered it was an invitation! Cordially asking one or two members from each team to attend a little evening get-together at Delphinus to sample potatoes pancakes and talk about current events.

THERE ARE LITTLE WEDGE SHAPED SLICES OF POTATO PANCAKES WITH TOOTHPICKS IN THEM ON PLATES ON THE TABLE AGAINST THE WALL WHEN YOU ARRIVE. :|a Maybe little rolls of thin-sliced meat pinned to bread too.]

[Discussion:
--Popularity and War Room voting Scheme

What: CALLING ALL A-Tards

The hardest thing starting out is two things, one is not lifting your feet to "walk"... just lean forward and keep your weight event... and landing.

[The sharkling is talking to a certain Hydra leader who is staring down at his feet, a new pair of wheeled shoes on them, with a certain amount of well earned doubt and mistrust.

... At least they're not on a cliff this time.]

Who: Bunnycorn + anyone
Where: Monoceros dorms
When: Day 200, late afternoon
What: tiny visitors!

[Late in the afternoon, Monocerans inside their dorm might hear the skitter-skitter of tiny glass feet. Many, many tiny glass feet. And anyone passing outside might notice a small horde of glass spiders perched on top of the Monoceros dorms. Some of them grab overhanging vines and dangle in the doorway; others are just chilling and watching. waiting. and stalking any Monoceros folks who go out.]

Who: Emiri, Allen, any Lepus trailing behind, anyone else
Where: Lacerta, then later who knows??
When: Day 200 ... at some point ...
What:

[There's a crazy girl banging on Lacerta's door]

Allen! Allen Walker! Come out here!

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.

[Once again, that strange patchwork of light and reality bathes the arena. Deep, impenetrable darkness wars with scattered rays of light, illuminating tiny slices of some seemingly unconnected scenery. Here a patch of lush, bluish tinged grass is warmed by the sun and blown by the breeze. There half of a delicate stone fountain is bathed in the first morning light... And over there you see a strange, fuzzy creature skittering and scrambling up a sheer rock face, ducking nervously in and out of shadows.

Scenes like this are scattered throughout the entire Arena without any sense of rhyme or reason... But as you walk further, you find yourself having to step on or around more and more thread. Fourteen shades of fine thread loop, scatter and tangle, condensing and congregating below the throne... leading to fourteen looms, each with a primitive, fuzzy picture coming into view, line by line- starting with the sky at the top.

When you look directly at the throne, it seems empty. It is only out of the corners of your eyes do you catch fleeting glimpses... sometimes fingers twined with thread... sometimes a face: matured with age, but warm and kindly.]

W... d...seek.... ?

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 198, evening
What:

[Suddenly, whatever you were doing, whatever your current physical state, you can feel it. It is a Call, but like none you’ve ever felt. In the arena lies the truth. A secret stifled for thousands of years now demands to be told. It resonates with something inside you, and you feel the pull.

It’s hard to hold in your mind to any thought but that need. Incapacitated teammates will need to be assisted. Everyone must be there.

You cannot look away from it. You cannot look away from Him.

You must go to the Arena. She will show you the truth.]

((Please to consider this your pre-Mingle mingling post. :) Characters may gather and chat on their way to the arena. Rabi can weep his bitter, useless Madagascar tears. Those who are FEELING THE COSMOS will feel these effects much more strongly, but everyone will to some extent feel the compulsion to go. At 8PM EST, everyone arrives at the Arena, and the :) may begin in earnest.))

Who: Bunnycorn and friends
Where: the caves
When: Day 197
What: FATTY LIZARD

[we huntin']

Who: Bunnycorn and those brave enough to be around
Where: Bunnycorn
When: Day 196, midmorning
What: Lepus cooks?

[there's a trail of drips leading from the lake all the way up to Bunnycorn, around Lepus and into Monoceros' kitchen where some pretty good smelling breakfast is underway]

It must be a holiday, people are sleeping late.

Who: Amanita, Kelvin, WHOEVERRR
Where: ORION!!11

Who: Lepus (and I guess Mono can come too if they want)
Where: Lepus dorms
When: Day 194, bright and early ♥
What: Team meeting! And other things...

[This morning Emiri can be found seated bright and early at the breakfast table with our breakfast that doesn't exist because Bunnycorn members are probably all still asleep and warm in their beds. If you weren't awake already, you can be assured that Emiri came and woke you and asked if you could please join her in the common room. Although it probably didn't sound as polite as that, and was probably less of a request than you think.]

Good morning all!

I hope you're all feeling fresh and chirpy, 'cause it's a new day! And before that day gets underway any more than it already is, we are, once and for all, finally going to have a proper team meeting! Aren't you excited? I'm excited! So, ah, get yourselves comfortable, yeah?

Who: Nightshade, Weed and whoever
Where: Lacanis area
When: Day 193, late afternoon

Are you sure you know where we're going?
