Sabra La Tau

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

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: 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.)

Who: Hydracula
Where: Hydracula
When: Day 303...?? POST QUEENSPLOSION
What: this went well

[when people return home there is an Arson tied up and struggling and looking generally unpleased]

LET ME GO

Who: Taisuke + anyone
Where: Outside the skulldorm
When: Day 302, morning
What: Hydracula needs to keep a better eye on their things

[DANGER DANGER traitor Ophi is now exiting the skull!] How'd I even get here...

Who? I wonder if it's you?
Where? Could it be the Arena?
When? Day 290, Evening? (Well before the Mirror Heart antics)
What? ♥♥♥

Is it a good evening for everyone? Have you all rested well? I wonder, are you prepared? Are you able to face what lies within your friends and teammates?

[The couches today are piled with Hizumi, Elliot, Claude, Chrono, Taisuke, and Yoi-te]

[ Sign ups || Oh no unconcious people || Mingle || Hearts || Endgame || Memories ]

Who: Anyone
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: Day 289, morning
What: ON A MISSION

[Arson is walking around Sabra, looking for some people...]

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: Mushwood forest
When: Day 288, early morning
What: If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?


[A thunderous crack whips through the forest this day, audible even beyond the river. The rotting trunk finally succumbing to the weight of its great dead cap. The cracking noise continues as it falls, ending with a burst of wind and a loud crash. There is a second... and then a third crash as other dead tallcaps collapse with it.

As the forest settles into its new arrangement, silence reigns again...]


No, no, no, no, no, NO! Stand up! Get up! Grow! Obey! Return!

[Until a child begins to shriek in anger.]

((OOC: Judge sub-plot event. I'll be tagging and playing with this until tomorrow or so. The status effect game will continue and will end at the stated time. Ping Parrot in chan if you have any questions.))

((EDIT: NAP TIME. I WILL BE BACK. BACK))

Who: Orange, Arson, Parrot, and any Ophi's that want to scrounge some food
Where: Ophiuchus barracks
When: Day 287, evening
What: Dinner

[Everything is so much harder when you lose an arm! Luckily Orange has a tiny helper giving him a hand (no pun intended) to prepare dinner. Also there is a genderswitched Parrot to complete the family image.]

Pass me those carrots?

Who: those who would bathe
Where: the baths
When: Day 287
What: bathing

*folks are age changed and genderswapped and sometimes animals, what better time to show off in the bath?*

Who: Everyone
Where: Arena
When: Day 287, early morning (We knew you well, day 286)
What: Status effect game

[The bleating of goats once again bring you to the arena. A statue of a sleepy child greets you on the throne]

Come play once more, blanks.

[The area around the throne is a child's playground today, with a swing set, slides, a ball pit, and a container filled with water balloons. Tables lined with colored cloth (including Ophiuchus) are arranged at the foot of the throne. On each table, lies a single nerf gun with foam darts and a bowl of small round stones just enough for each member of the team. (All of them also in their respective team colors. The Ophi table has more nerf guns on it)]

Take a stone. Bring them to your team if you wish.

((Note 1: Guideline for deaging (Stolen from Mirror)
P.S: It is also possible to be physically deaged without being mentally deaged, if that is a thing you want to play with.
Note 2: Everyone's uniforms will fit their deaged/sexswapped/etc self.
Ping Parrot on IRC if you have questions))

Who: Parrot, Caduceus
Where: Ophiuchus
When: Day 284, morning
What: Bringer of bad news.

[Shouting into Caduceus's corner of the dorm]

Oi, Orange! Thorn! Kazuha! Anyone home?

Who: Taisuke, Daisy, whoever
Where: Pyxis
When: Day 283, afternoon
What: Now sounds like an awesome time to visit my bro

[Knocking at Pyxis]

Who: Daisy, Ophiuchus
Where: Outside Ophi
When: Day 282, late morning
What: Trying to figure out how to leave a note for Orange

*he's currently debating making it into a paper airplane...*

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The barracks
When: Day 281, midday
What: All the food

[Oh look Orange is stress cooking again. Only this time he is stress cooking after spending the morning drinking heavily, food quality may suffer.There are also a lot more broken plates involved.]

Who: ALL OF SOLDIER'S BROS (AND HOES)
Where: ARENA
When: DAY 281, MORNING
What:

[Oh no, not another game! The call isn't insistent in the same way as the last one, but it's definitely loud enough that you're probably not going to be able to go back to sleep. On the bright side, considering said call is a non-stop drum solo with the occasional burst of incoherently-slurred rap lyrics, you've got a good guess as to which Judge it is.]

BEER! TATTOOS! BEER AND TATTOOS. YOU HAVE UNTIL I FINISH MY DRUM SOLO! AND THAT'LL BE A FEW HOURS SO YOU CAN TAKE IT HOME TO YOUR LAZY-ASS TEAMMATES!

((Items from the fully stocked bar are fully removable! Tattoo kits for all, with provisions for difficult-to-tattoo non-human party members! You have until Wednesday, 3pm PST to submit your tattoos!))

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 280, morning
What: :) :) :)!!

[As soon as your torches relight -- or slightly before, is that even possible? -- Mirror's call tugs you out of your beds and towards the arena. For those of you who feel it, it's unusually persistent and difficult to resist today. Like a glass hook caught around your legs, pulling you along without caring much about your feelings on the matter.

Mirror's statue perches on her throne, the usual silver of her statue subtly altered. Glassy, almost translucent in areas, but still deeply reflective. More disturbing still is the layout in the arena today: a parody of the Good End celebrations you've seen for your teammates, with tall glass boxes replacing team banners and tables (marked in team colors) filled with nothing but plates of glass shards and bottles of clear vodka.

Except for Bunnycorn's table. They get (alcoholic) punch and nachos.]

Are you all here yet? I hope so. This is going to be fun.

[Mingle | Columns | Rules | Endgame | Memories]

Who: Whomever
Where: The lake ...
When: Day 279, early evening
What:

[ Elliot borrowed one of Orion's spears and is now perched a rock attempting to do some fishing ...

... and still attempting ...

and then he loses his balance and falls into the water. Good thing the water's shallow!]

Oh, for goodness' sake.

((sort of night in the life ish

Who: Hydracula and visitors
Where: Skullcrusher mountain
When: Day 279, mid-late morning
What: GOOD LIFE CHOICES

[It's just as the pandemonium is clearing up, a special knock sounds out on the Hydracula dorm's door.

Between them, they seem absolutely unhurt... and carrying something in a swath of green and orange blankets between them.]
