What is going on here?

Who: ???
Where: The Arena
When: Day ??????1 Afternoon
What:

[ Today the Temperance sits on the throne- in one hand her hammer, and in the other her shield. Just as she always looks.

And oh, look. It’s your old friend the War Rooms. ]

Welcome, Blanks. Certainly most among you are not so unfamiliar with this arrangement. No use making faces about it. Face it bravely, and such courage shall see you to victory and peace.

As always, we shall play a game of defenses. Who shall you protect? Who shall protect you? Whose offense is to be the most feared? Speak to your comrades and enemies now, for once the rules are set, each color shall face this battle alone.

((Hi there! Mingle will go an hour or so, as Lady still has some setup to do. If you would like to have your characters remember the Temperence, please feel free to. Her games are usually hard, but she is never herself cruel or unfair. She was very proud when you all managed to survive her last game.

Who: ???
Where: Your bedroom in the North Block of Sabra La Tau
When: Day ??????1 Morning
What:

[ You wake up in one of the terrible, cramped North Block rooms with a pounding headache. You remember it. You remember your te@%N~ati0n, you remember the Games and the G01010001101udges. You remember the stone. The whispers of rebellion. You remember . . . desperation. Next to you is a brass tube, where you can see yourself repeating one word over and over in a tiny garbled recording:


"willingl-willingl-willingl-willingl-willingl-" ]



((ETA: to clarify, you do not remember anything explicitly that happened "after" Sabra, and the events of the last weeks are vague at best.))

[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: 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: Parrot, anyone
Where: Somewhere near the lake
When: Day 299, morning
What: Tell me your feelings :U

[Parrot sits down on the ground, putting a bag of sweet-smelling food down on one side of him and a stack of papers and writing instruments on the other. And then he's cheerfully calling out to whoever passing by:]

Anyone want some bread?

Who: Edge + Bunnycorn
Where: Lepus
When: Day 298, afternoon
What: matters of the heart

[Well, Edge has arrived at some point, soaked to the bone and dumping a bag full of things in the corner of Lepus' ground floor as he strips his jacket off and wrings the water out of it.]

To think that was the simplest part of the day...

((HEARTGAMING. please join #magnetoception on IRC for coordination purposes.))

Who: People
Where: Ancient City and outskirts
When: Day 298, Noonish
What:

[It seems like a fairly typical day today. River lizards "sunning" themselves in the bright torchlight, various folk out tending to their gardens, a Hydra out on the skull's roof carving up a dozen more knives he doesn't even need, a breeze—wait, a breeze? Since when are there any breezes in this cave?

Regardless, there's definitely one blowing about now. A few people may find it ruffling their hair, blowing past them and gently pushing, urging them away from the bright torches of the living areas and out into the dark where the ancient city waits. Those with sharp eyes might notice an erminebus or two watching them curiously only to duck away out of sight again.]

[OOC: MOONTIME EVENT \:D/ gentle nudging at people to begin with, but if you need more than this ICly give Yayoi a ping in IRC. Also join #huntingparty for ease of communication.]

Who: Anyone
Where: Anywhere
When: Day 294, noon
What: day in the life

[Today is a grand day to get things done. And to mingle. You should definitely be mingling in this post.]

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: 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: Anyone!
Where: The Lake (or other places, if you prefer)
When: Day 292, morning
What: MINGLE

[A Pavo has decided that today is a good day to do laundry, and has acquired himself a nice place near the lake to settle down and do as much.

What are you doing this morning, Sabra?]


(I ENCOURAGE AND STRONGLY SUGGEST MINGLING. Feel free to use this post for your own whatever. ♥)

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: Parrot, Lotus, anyone
Where: Baths
When: Day 290, afternoon
What: BEING CLEAN

[idk man what is an Ophi even doing in the public baths? And those sure are some crazy tattoos.]

((use for mingle, etc, as you will))

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

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

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?]

Who: A Noodleprincess and YOU
Where: Just outside Bunnycorn
When: Day 288, after that gaaaame.
What: RETURNING HOME!!

[there is a tiny girl dressed in a Monoceros uniform approaching the Bunnycorn area with little skips. it is worth noting that her left eye is covered by an eye-patch, her hair is full of ribbons, her nails are done, and she smells really really nice!]

Hello! Is anyone home? It's me, Sakura! I'm baaaa—u-uwaaah!!


[also, she just totally faceplanted in a very undignified way]

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?*
