Sabra La Tau

[Endgame. The final frontier.

These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

It's ongoing mission, is to get a hell of a lot of people home. Deal with disturbingly well mannered velociraptors as roommates. Help get old ant workers used to two feet again. And occasionally jettison Horn off into space at random intervals.

To boldly seek out new universes and parallel dimensions. To party hard as it has never been done before.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Messenger's Year 1, Day 1
What: Closing Time.

[Ptou reforms, sand solidifying into marble, the robes, tattered, become the tapestries of royalty and a thin, circular crown sits on his head.

He stares down at the ground a long moment, silent.]

Is that... it?

Is this what it's like?

FINAL DEPARTURE

If any links are misdirected or missing, PM Claude! ))

Who: ???
Where: ???
When: ???
What: ???

[You are in white space, floating gently on your back. It's comfortable and warm. The lassitude in the air seeps into your muscles, letting you truly relax. Pushed by something unseen, you rock gently in that empty space, as if floating on small, rolling waves.

Everything is calm and comfortable. What were you just doing? You can't quite fish up the memory but you have a vague, muted anxiety that it was important.

Something urges you quietly to just give it up, just forget.

As you drift... you see someone sitting next to you, calm, understanding...]

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.

What:

[When everyone returns home from their meeting, they'll find a simple cardboard box waiting on the doorstep of their dorms. Inside, they'll find an appropriate number of very basic tuxedos and dresses for their team (and, quite considerately, anyone who prefers the other gender's style of dress will find they have clothing suited to them).

Also in the box are materials for embellishments. Extra cloth, sequins, feathers, embroidery thread, etc . . . All manner of materials to make your garment truly yours.

Delphinus, unfortunately, has only gotten rags (though the embellishment supplies are there. Perhaps you can embellish your uniforms instead?) It's like someone's mad at you or something.]

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

[Soldier's call is loud and annoying as usual, but there does seem to be one problem today: The bar is not so well-stocked. In fact, there's only beer on tap, and it's awfully sour...]

HAPPY DAY 300 MOTHERFUCKERS!!

((Mingle
CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTERS - let Excel know who is fighting OOCly; any discrepancies between IC and OOC choice can be worked out. This is particularly important because there will be no revival! screw that, fight if you want or don't if you want \o/

Who: Hydracula!1

What: WELP

[Faceplants on the table, WOOZIEST NINJA]

That bitch needs to die.

Who:Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 295, bright and early
What: It's time for games

[The game call is an echo of laughter, joyous yet unnerving. It fills your ears as you make your way to the Arena, drowning out nearly every other sound. Upon arrival, you discover that this time, the arena lacks the mist that so often clings to the ground during Haunted’s games, lacks the symbol scratched into stone and the bodies sleeping above it. Instead all there is to see is Haunted on her throne, a little Judge who is beyond pleased with herself.]

[Sign up | Mingle | Game Start | Revival | Endgame | Memories]

Who: Anyone
Where: By the river
When: Day 294, morning
What: MONSTERS

[If you happen to be near the river today, you might see something terrible rising up from the water and crawling onto the shore; clawed, scaly beasts, covered with muck and grime. One of the beasts lets out a bloodthirsty growl. OH WHATEVER SHALL YOU DO??]

Who: Anyone
Where: Outside, near the lake
When: Day 293, evening
What:

[kid on a haunted mark passed out, mysterious mist, you know the deal by now]

Who: Santa and whoever
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 293, afternoon
What: bidding farewell to dignity, and also kisses.

[After finally getting some sleep, Santa decided it's time to finally get done with a certain mission he was given days ago. And so, on this merry afternoon, he is wearing this fantastic outfit, ready to bid farewell to his dignity forever and visit dorms. You can see him walking around in this.]

Ugh... This pretty fucking embarrassing.

((feel free to use for your own mingle needs as well)

Who: HYDRACULA!!!! and other small people maybe
Where: THE SKULL
When: Day 292, afternoon (post parrot-nightmare)
What:

[So after the strategic retreat!! right after the nightmare, thanks to leader promptly snatching up her tinies, the most awesome Vulpeculas ever are back at the dorm. Black*Star has a injured wrist, what with being bitten and all]

Who: Parrot, anyone
Where: Around a corner!!!
When: Day 292, noon (SLIGHTLY FORWARD-DATED)
What: An out-of-game nightmare


[Be careful as you round a corner today, a possibly familiar Ophiuchus is passed out on the ground above a certain symbol. A strange mist pooling and misting about around him.]


((NIGHTMARE. Please be warned this is a mostly moontime friendly thing. Forward-dated because I will be running it/picking at it on and off until friday JST to get to a few people. Today is possibly the only day that's relatively suntime-friendly.

Please be warned that I may disappear at random due to being at hometown with family, so be mindful of that if you decide to play. Death and maiming is a definite possibility but revival/healing is offered inside the nightmare itself. o/ Groups are split up from the beginning so don't worry about tagging late or what not either))

What: Hydracula III: The Hydraculing

[Have you rested after mirrorventure, Hydracula? Got a couple hour nap myself. Now it's hella BOILED CABBAGE AND FISH JERKY time. Who's the luckiest team in the world?]
