Sabra La Tau

Who: Maya
Where: abandoned city
When: Day 297ish
What: "spelunking"

[...At least, that's the excuse Maya's come up with if anyone were to ask where she's headed; it's not the greatest of answers but (she hopes) it explains why she's got a length of rope slung over her shoulders and a hooded lantern in her hand (thanks, Parrot). Not that she needs to see; she's not really certain where she's headed with her eyes anyway, it's that certain tingle from her magatama that she's following now. Back to that weird tree they found last time, with the unopened psychelocks...]

Who: Anyone, really
Where: The Arena
When: Day 123, late morning
What: Game 83

[Familiar butterflies, and a soft scent of flowers draw everyone to the Arena. Where Beauty is on the statue. Today the 'Arena' is truly living up to it's name. While the characteristic lush grass carpets the ground, several roman style bleachers rise up in a semi-circle around an open area. Among the seats are bowls of popcorn.

Away from the makeshift arena, there are a few video terminals.]

Good morning, every one.

This game make some preparation for you to understand, so I'll be announcing things early to allow you the chance to ask questions.

You will be playing a comedy game. Teams will play games in groups of two, taking their place in front of the audience. There are various types of games, but none of them are violent, I assure you. The goal is to be funny, and have fun. Your scene will be completed after an alloted amount of time, or when I say so.

There are other Judges here today. They'll be watching your performances and voting for which teams have done the best. The six winning teams from the first round will go against each other in the second round, and the winning teams from that round will receive their memories.

Provided is a list of the games you play, along with brief descriptions.

Keep in mind that while teams are playing against each other, you must play with each other to make the scene work. If the goal of a scene is to make one player guess what you are talking about, making it too obvious will not be very interesting.

Videos have been provided for a few of these games, to give you an idea of how they are played. But do not worry about performing exactly the same as the actors. It is your own unique knowledge, viewpoints, and personality which will make this game fun for everyone.

For now, familiarize yourself with the various games. What game you will be play, and what teams you will play against, will be announced shortly.

Also, please sign in. I will try to fit games to people of people willing to play per each team.

((Yes kids, we are playing Whose Line Is It Anyway. Mingle will still go for an hour, but providing everything NOW to give you a chance to watch the videos if you aren't familiar with the games. THAT SAID, characters are not expected or required to play the games perfectly. Beauty will buzz them if they start to go too far out of bounds. Not sure exactly how long each round will go, but I'm thinking an hour and a half max. The first six rounds WILL play at the same time OOCly, even though ICly you may assume they go one after another, so Blanks can watch other's performances.

Also note I can't GUARANTEE that every character signed up will get to play, but I will do my absolute best to make sure everyone gets to play with at least one character. Feel free to sign up both!

FINALLY, Judges are encouraged to hang around in the mingle, watch the performances, and vote for one team or the other as the winner once it's done.))

Who: Lacerta, Monoceros, Pavo, Canis, Pyxis, Cepheus, Lepus
Where: The Arena
When: Day 109, morning
What: Game 74

[Familiar butterflies lead the way to the arena, which is coated with a fresh, lush layer of grass, as it tends to be when Beauty is in the house.

Before the throne are several small marble tables, meant to be used by sitting on the ground. There is one for each team, and on each table is a small stack of cards laid face down. For now, they are all blank.]

Good morning, everyone. Please take a seat, we will be playing a variation of one of Messenger's favorite games today. Talk among yourselves, and we will begin shortly.

((NOTE: Game has changed due to mod request, so this is a 100% harmless game.

Who: Monoceros, Pavo, Cygnus, Cepheus, Canis, Orion, Lepus, Pyxis
Where: Arena
When: Day 99, morning
What: Loser Game

[A set up you may be familiar with greets you at the arena. Lush grass radiating out in the area before the throne. There are also eight tables, each in the color of one of the eight teams summoned. On each table are six blank cards, and pens and pencils to write with.]

Greetings, all.

Gather as quickly as you can, you may find this game takes some time, and I would like not to waste it. Take your seats, and the rules will be following shortly.

I'm sure some of you remember a similar game in the past. And did I not, at that time, suggest that we may visit this game again? That time is now. I hope you all have learned more of your teammates than you had known before.


((You must have completed the prep to play.

Who: You!
Where: Arena
When: Day 97, morning
What: Game 66

[The arena is much like how you remember it being before The Game Master made his... dramatic appearance. Well lit, with something-like-a-sky high overhead. Plush grass blankets the ground around the throne in which Beauty sits, her legs crossed, leaning on one arm.

Around the grass are scattered five small stages, on each a single black stool, and and three booths, each divided by a high wall and with heavy curtains hiding the inside.]

Welcome, all. Today's game is simple, harmless, and may repair some of the dissonance caused between you recently. Those who wish to participate, please write your name on a slip of paper and place it within the box. The rest of you may simply sit and enjoy watching the game. I will be prepared soon.


((THIS IS A DATING GAME. Blanks will go behind the curtains and Ophiuchus members will ask each person behind the curtain five questions and then decide who they want to go on a date with. I don't expect the characters will be SUPER STEALTHY about their identities, but just the same, all participants will be using sabra_la_anon for this game. The password is 9000someones.

Who: YOU (=
Where: Arena
When: Day 79, Morning
What: GAME

[You find the arena littered with butterflies, per usual, and while there is no seating provided, there floor is carpeted with cool, springy grass. There are also twelve blackboards placed against a long, white wall.]

Good morning, everyone. Please wait while everyone gathers. I understand that lately many of the games have caused great stress, while this is, perhaps, to be expected, I think it is fair to allow for breaks as well. Today's game will be simple, if challenging, and there will be no cause for harm, nor any punishments.

Make yourselves comfortable, we will begin shortly.
