Sabra La Tau

Who: ALL YA'LL PUNK ASS BITCHES
Where: THE ARENA
When: TIME FOR SHENANIGANS TO END
What:

[As Guardian meets his end and Mitsuru suffers his punishment for an ill-advised attack, a heavy silence fills the arena. The chess pieces, both sand and lava, collapse back into the floor and smooth out, melding back into it as though they'd never risen.

The next time you blink, King's statue has lifted its hand. Lightning, devastatingly powerful, arcs out across the entire arena, striking at anything and anyone it can reach. Where it strikes the floor and walls it leaves small craters. This is not going to be a light blow for anyone struck with it.]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: The Arena
When: >(
What: YA'LL ARE DICKS

[Lightning arcs through the air, spreading out just over the heads of the gathered blanks with deafening thunder. Where it strikes the walls the marble chips and cracks, leaving small craters dotting the pristine surfaces. The face of King's statue is contorted in plain displeasure. Each time you blink, his gaze falls on a different person.]

That is quite enough. Let's have no more of these childish shenanigans. My patience has worn thin enough already, blanks.

Will you be handing over the keystones, yes or no?

[React || TRICKSTER || King Keystone Retrieval ]

Who: All Ophi, traitor and loyal, all Blanks. Good ended DO NOT hear the call, but can come
Where: The Arena
When: :)
What: Ladies and Gentleman, we understand that you have come to bear witness to the sound of drums and bass.

[As you enter the arena today, it is like you have stepped into a gala floor. Round tables with black and white checkers are arranged in a semi circle around the southern corners of the room, leaving the vast majority of the marble floor open for dancing. Austere marble pillars break the expanse of the floor in neat rows, affording a couple a moment of privacy as needed. Against the east wall, a bar is set with several classy appetizers, and a single platter of ten shrimp next to a crystal punch bowl.

At the very end of the expansive room, a black marble stage has a band set up, and ready to play. Behind that, stretching up and up, is a regal black throne. No one sits on it yet.

The double doors close after the last of you with a certain finality.]

Welcome, my dear blanks. And welcome to your guests as well! Quite unexpected to see so many familiar faces again. It does bring back memories, doesn't it?

I do hope you'll find the festivities to your liking. I know we've had our differences in the past, but I've put quite a bit of effort into ensuring that everything goes perfectly. As long as everyone, and that does include the delightful guests you've brought along, stays on their best behavior, I think we'll get along quite nicely.

((OOC: WE BEGIN! First event begins in an hour 8PM EST.)

[ Mingle || HORN!!!! || Rules :) || PART TWO])

Who: Everyone?
When: Day 303, Morning (FOREDATED, please continue your 302 antics as you like)
Where: Could it be the arena?
What: ♥♥♥

[Now that everyone has returned to themselves and King has grown weary of pacing angrily about in the aftermath of yesterday's explosion, leaving the blanks in peace to return to wherever the Judges reside to continue his angry thoughts in private, it's time for a game! Some people may find themselves drawn to the arena whether they like it or not.

Persona is on the throne once more, and before her are the familiar couches with various members of teams sleeping on them: Roy, Kurow, Scowl, Parrot, and Yuta.

Persona herself seems more tense than usual on the throne. The hands of her statue are wringing themselves, and although she seems as chipper and eager as usual, there's an uneasy tension in her expression.]

Can you prepare yourselves once more? Will you work harder this time? More than merely facing it, can you bring yourselves to change what lies within your friends and teammates?

[Heart runners to #heartpile please! You are also welcome to assume your character was unable to resist the pull to the arena if they would be ICly avoiding it but you still want to play. Likewise, if you don't want to play, just assume they were inside or Persona's pull didn't reach them. THIS IS FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT ONLY :Db

ETA: Mingle to end at 6:30 7pm EST right now]

Who: Anyone
Where: The Library of the Ancient City
When: Day 302, Noon
What:

[There's a sudden and deafening explosion from the ancient city today. While it's little more than a flash of light and thunderous noise to those still in the dorm areas, anyone unfortunate enough to be in the area will see it—the great library erupting outward in a burst of flame and smoke, leaving a snow of singed and tattered pages to drift down in the aftermath.

In other news, there's an unusual amount of wolfaboos about today.]


[OOC: A specific team or two may get jumped if they wander about, but otherwise mingle amongst yourselves~]

Who: King, Messenger
Where: ?????
When: Day 298, Late Evening/Night
What: >(

Son, I think it's well past time we had a serious chat. Father to son and all that.

Who: Delphinus, Ikki, hopefully no one uninvited this time
Where: Geardorm -> Abandoned City
When: Day 298, evening
What: Candy Mountain, the sequel

Who: Judges only
Where: :)
When: Time is frightfully relative, isn't it?
What:

[He's really rarely flashy when he appears in others' domains. Not really worth the pomp and circumstance when a general breeze was enough to let someone know he approached.]

Mind a word? Or perhaps several, in exchange! Sort of a conversational barter.

((OOC: EXPERIMENTAL POST. This is only for Judges! You don't have to be talking to Messenger, or any of it set at the same time. Just give your [Name] in the subject line and what environment you've chosen to surround yourself in. TAG AROUND TO EACH OTHER. Feel free to use #sabra_la_iudex to work out headcanon and relationships or just dive in blind.

LETS SEE HOW THIS GOES.))

Who: Delphinus (and a couple of extras)
Where: Starting out in the coves
When: Day 291, midday
What: We're going to Candy Mountain!

*well after being in a Judge's heart last night and dead this morning, someone's feeling a little restless, and is scrounging up what chunks of dorm stone he still has handy to make a nice little box*

We need to start making our moves. Who's coming?

When: Day 289, noon
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 three pathways each covered with a lush carpet: gold, orange, and lavender. One bears the sigil of the hunter, club upraised and a string of jewels shining in his belt. The second has several foxes embroidered cunningly into the cloth, their silhouettes nearly invisible against the background. Finally, a great peacock adorns the third, its many tailfeathers rising nearly the entire length of the path. 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...]

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.

Who: Game goes
Where: The Arena
When: Day 238, Afternoon
What: A game! :)

[The arena today has had a large section of it walled off, apparently. Where the ruins normally lie has been blocked off with a wall that’s much too high to see over, and any attempts to sneak a peek will send people tumbling down or leave them with a headache (should they attempt to use magical methods).

The throne is filled with King’s majestic self, and there is a small buffet table with the fixings for simple sandwiches before it; sliced and roasted lizard meat, a few types of cheese, hearty bread, and more cabbage than anyone really cares to see. There’s also a large tureen of punch.]

[There's a familiar silver statue on the throne today. She rests with her arms on the throne, polished and gleaming and practically smirking. On her left side is Kid's statue, though his influence is a minor note compared to Mirror's usual overpowering...ness.]

It's been a while since you've had a game with me, hasn't it? Too long.

[The Arena looks awfully pink and glittery today, despite King's majestic presence on the throne. It's probably just your imagination that his smile seems a little smugger than usual.]

I heard the lot of you like to go off to magical, imaginary dreamlands. Well, I'm nothing if not obliging. Sweet dreams, darlings.
