Sabra La Tau

Who: Beardog
Where: Ursa
When: Day 291, eveningish?
What: Maybe you guys should invest in a cat door or something.

[so there is this catdude who, after leaving his room and briefly wandering around the main area, is now pawing at the door out.

and by 'pawing' i mean 'clawing at it until it opens.' because claws are not very useful for opening doors. but they are good for scratching them!

. . . maybe someone should . . . do something about that . . . ]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 289, post-good ends
What: ...

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
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...]

Who: The Gentleman, anyone
Where: Sitting on top of Apus
When: Day 288, evening
What: Chilling, RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN

[A dapper, elderly man sits on the edge of the Apus dorms roof. He doesn't seem overly remarkable past his presence... a well tended hat and immaculate suit, polished dress shoes... but there's something about him that ... makes him hard to look directly AT.

He has a rather fancy, bottled beer sitting next to him, and is idly pulling on a fishing pole now and then. The line is... down into the hole that swallowed Cygnus.

He's humming a rather cheerful ditty, as if it was a fine day for fishing.]

Who: Anyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 288, evening
What: Game time~

[Today the call takes the form of a song. It's hard to make out the words but the tune resembles a child's nursery rhyme. The sound of that soft voice is almost familiar, one the very edge of your memory....

As the arena fills with blanks, the song gives way to Haunted's delighted laughter.]

Are you afraid, blanks?

Who: Those invited
Where: Lyvus
When: Day 286, around noon (before the ideal world game)
What: Meeting!

[Sometime between late morning and early afternoon, people are coming over to Lyvus. They'll even feed you if you brought something to trade—there's certainly nice tea and lunch set out :) the main area of Lyvus is pretty big, and there is a long table that can easily sit at least 15-20 people, though it may start to get crowded after that, and some of the chairs are makeshift]

[There may also be some Lyvus/Monoceros makeshift scrabble games going on around lunch. This is clearly the most serious kidnapping.]

[OOCly I have no idea who is actually coming to the meeting and/or knows about it, but I think we are able to roll with bbbasically anything! Join #partyatlyvus so we can keep the blah blah in one place, and we can facilitate any necessary behind the scenes business o7]

[ pre-meeting | meeting start | current options | information sharing | spectators | violence | scowl's announcement | mirror discussion | keystones, etc ]

Who: a blank (tm), his team (canis) and anyone who might have a reason to be around that area.
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 286, morning!
What: someone is waking up in Canis?!
---

[ there's the sound of tearing fabric from inside one of the unoccupied rooms... a few minutes before a new blank stumbles out with the newly torn strip of fabric half tied around his right eye. ]

Who: Ash, any
Where: Up the northeastern path
When: Day 285, evening
What: :)

[It's a calm evening, the great, blind dragon lays curled around her clutch of eggs mingled in with an Ophiuchus and various pokemon. The bones of the meal - some of it roasted for that strange child that can't eat raw raptor as well - strewn around them.

In fact, it would be the most pleasant environment for Ash and Pikachu to join in on the nap with the mamadragon when...

Something behind him twitches.]

Who: Beardog (and whoever)
Where: Canis
When: Day 283, afternoon
What: Memories, tea and cursing GM...

What did we even do to get you put into that game?

Who: Dogs, visiting Bears, and a Dolphin
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 275, midday (before Izayananigans)
What: Lunch and plot!

*someone received a bunch of healing from your team over the past few days. that someone is now in your kitchen preparing a rather large (and vegetarian) lunch in trade for said healing*

Who: Beardog and visitors
Where: Ursa dorm
When: Day 273, postgame
What: Memory time

[Hangovers are kicking in and there is right now a tiny girl staring at the diceshaped mugs full of memory beer that she has put on the table. She might also have ganked Canis mugs since she thought they were cute at the time.]

Why is there more beer?

Who: Whoever
Where: The Arena
When: Day 273, after the game
What:

HAHAHA, WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN DO WITHOUT ME, YOU SAD LITTLE DWEEB?

[Soldier is laughing, the bar is fully stocked, and there are still a few stray corgi puppies running around.]

Who: Beardog and Friends
Where: Around Ursa
When: Day 269, Evening
What:

[When Ursa comes home this evening there is a lot of noises coming from their kitchen, drawers are being slammed and it sounds like someone is rummaging around their belongings. Thankfully it's not a burglar, but a tiny teenage girl in Ursa brown tunics that have recently woken up.]

This one is no good, no good.

[She's also currently looking at kitchen knives.]

Who: Elliot and ..... anyone ...
Where: OUTSIDE BEARDOG..............
When: Day 260, afternoonish
What: ... ... memories are weird.

[SO anyone at Cetus would have seen Elliot storm out in something of a huff during this late afternoon BUT anyone who saw where he went might notice that he is actually just. pacing in front of Beardog and deciding if he should even try to knock on the door again.

Remember, dude, this is the guy who threw a table at you.]

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: Bears! Dogs? Visitors?
Where: Ursa
When: Day 258, post game
What:

[A fresh batch of tea is simmering gently on the hearth, and a pile of memories sits on the table. They're gingerbread men, shaped distinctly like members of the unit.]

... Quaint.

Who: Ursa and visitors
Where: Ursa dorms
When: Day 257, afternoonish
What: New kid probably doesn't like you.

[he also just managed to make it outside his room before leaning against the door, rubbing his eyes. if you catch sight of them underneath his rat's nest hair, you'll notice they have ~spiral patterns~ and ~reflect the depths of darkness~ and have some ~gold flecks~ in them. good thing they're mostly covered, huh.]

... These lights are annoying.

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: Ursa and visitors
Where: Ursa dorms
When: Day 254, afternoon :D?
What: Good morning!! Sort of.

[Someone was exploring the dorm a while ago, but now there's just someone who managed his way into the kitchen and is making himself a sandwich.

He woke up hungry, okay. Don't judge.]

Who: Ophiuchus and YOU
Where: All over
When: Day 252 later evening/Day 253 early morning
What: PUNISHMENTSSSS

[time to get to work!]

((GENERAL POST FOR GAME MASTER PUNISHMENTS. Ophi can do their assignments here, and folks doing their own dirty work may also hijack this! Feel free to decide if the actions take place in the evening or morning, whatever works best for you :|d Backthreading is A-OK as well))
