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: ???

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.

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

Knock knock!

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.]

Ready?

((Feel free to mingle))

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??]

[ringing the Ophiuchus bell]

YO, BLACK-HEARTED BASTARDS! SEND UP THE DUMBEST MORON YOU GOT! I'M ASSUMING IT'LL MOST LIKELY BE PARROT!

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?

[Sign ups | Mingle | Game Start | End Game | Memories]

Who: Edge, Bunnycorns
Where: Lepus
When: Day 288, evening
What:

[Lepus' kitchen doesn't get used much, so it's easy to miss things going on in there. Like various people's efforts to get it cleaner, or to stack things better, or the Ophiuchus having tea in the corner. I mean it's not like they make a noticable difference, right?]
