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

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

Who: Royal & whoever
Where: Near Lyvus
When: Day 294, evening
What: De-hiatus ♥

[Well, well, look what Sabra spit up today. It's bloody and wet and dragging himself back to the Lyvress.]

Who: Parrot, lyvus
Where: lyvus
When: Day 293, late afternoon
What: Checking on people

[A Parrot is knock-knocking on the fortress's door]

Hello?

Who: Lotus, anyone
Where: Open area near Orion-Cetus
When: Day 292, evening
What: Firing range

[Since it's safer to practice shooting away from moving water, (she does need those rubber bullets back) Lotus has settled on a spot outside Monster Hunter and she's using the various sized rocks there as target practice. She's not very good at it yet but she's getting there.]

Who: Some ant???
Where: Lyvress
When: Day 291, late-afternoon
What:

[SUDDENLY. GIANT ANT CRAWLING ALONG STALAGMITES AND CAVE WALLS NEAR LYVUS'S FORTRESS. ITS FEELERS SEEM TO BE... WELL. FEELING AROUND FOR SOMETHING, MANDIBLES EXCITABLY MOVING.

WHAT DO?]

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: Some Dolphins, some Dogs, maybe some other dudes too
Where: Canis dorms
When: Day 289, Early evening
What: A friendly visit

This should be enough to trade for dinner for both of us. I'm sure you'd be welcome to join in.

*knocking*

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

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

Who: Lyvus and visitors
Where: Lyvus dorms
When: Day 288, post-game
What: sadness and hugpiles?

[Sad teammates are coming back after the game. Woe.]

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: 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: 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: Honor's teammates, Honor's friends, Lacerta folks -- the usual suspects
Where: Lyvus dorm
When: Day 285, evening
What: Fixing Mirror's messes (aka Heart Run)

[OOC -- since everyone is up and down, I'm not sure how long this will take. I can also make a channel for this, if we need one.]

Who: Lyvus, LizardKing's and DelPavo's
Where: The aforementioned teams dorms
When: Day 285, afternoon
What: Oh no the plot!

[A thing certainly happened, so now Persephone is gathering Lyvus for a team meeting and going to knock at her friends houses.]

((Timebending and tagging in late is a-okay for this if you're busy, as is handwaving that Persephone passed on the warning))

Who: ALLLLLLL ANYYYY BLANKS
Where: ARENA
When: Day 284, laaate, a few hours before evening will hit
What: oh no who let the pokemon get into the alcohol

[THE CALL TO THE ARENA is...full of shrieks of several different Pokemon hooting their own names and having a damn good time. Also the occasional BANG BANG on a pot, but mostly because Pokemon do not understand kitchenware isn't an instrument.]

[WHEN YOU GET THERE you will see a table full of tasty drinks. Very sweet! How they got them is a mystery, but they are tasty! And also hella spiked with Absinthe]

[pikachu is holding a badly written and badly drawn sign:

KIIIING'S GAME

GAME IN NAME OF

KING PERSON

GAME

KING]

[ooc: SIGN UP/NUMBER ASSIGNMENT / MINGLE|GET DRUNK / RULES|WHAT DO / START (...LOTS OF ROUNDS) / FREE FOR ALL / MEMORIES (WINNERS: Lizardking, Lyvus, and Orion. Standard treats for everyone else. If you did NOT want a memory, or already received the chosen ones, feel free to assume it is a dud or switch out a memory :|d)]

Who: ANYONE!
Where: Orion :') Please access the dorm from Cetus trapdoor
When: Day 284, Noon
What: PARTAY! Spin the bottle! Burgers! Middle of the day sleepovers!

[There are at the very least four people poking their head up through the trapdoor entrance to Orion, this is not ominous at all.]

You're right Cheer! This place is really empty. Think we can use it?

((Anyone ever is free to tag in! Maya, Rena, Hizumi and Kurono are having a party and it is somehow being hosted at Orion without their consent. You can assume Maya and Rena were being really loud about it and would have told anyone that it was okay to join in.))

Who: Whoever!
Where: In and around Lyvus
When: Day 283, afternoonish
What: oh no it's a lawyer

[If you're anywhere near Lyvus today, you might notice this older dude hanging around the entrance. or inside. or wherever is best for him to meet people.]

Uh, hello? Anybody home? ( If not, this is going to be an awfully lonely bunch of caves. )

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 283, Bright and goddamn early
What: :) :) :)

[There's that pull again; a sharp, icy tug at the pit of your gut. It feels as though it would be unwise to resist it.

The set up is much the same as yesterday. The lights are still dim, and shadows fall where none should. Flickers of motion follow the blanks all the way to the small circle of buildings at the throne's base; the doors are currently still shut tight.

Game Master's statue watches the blank's approach from beneath his hood.]

Welcome again, poor souls. Are you ready to begin anew?

[Sign-in | More Mingling | Room Assignments/Session 2 start | Endgame | Memories

As with yesterday, coming late and leaving early is absolutely acceptable. Just sign in so I can keep tabs on scoring easier :|b Also this is a list of people who have been missing since this game began.]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 282, Late Afternoon
What: A game :)

[The pull today is insistent and excited, if soul-chilling as is usual for Game Master. Someone's eager to get started on whatever he has planned, it seems. The Arena, when blanks arrive, is also dimly lit as usual as well. However, something about the lighting seems a bit . . . odd. Shadows falling where there should be none, flickers of movement just at the boundaries of your vision.

Even stranger is the small circle buildings waiting at the foot of the throne when blanks first reach it. It isn't as though the buildings are strange in and of themselves, but there are only three of them. A rather unorthodox number considering the number of all the team, and even the paired partner sets.

In the center of the three buildings are a number of computer writing tablets.

Game Master sits in the throne, face hidden from view beneath his ever present hood.]

Welcome to you, blanks. Welcome, new and old alike back to this stadium of despair and triumph. Will you, I wonder, enjoy the game I have prepared for you today? Will you delight and take pride in the challenges conquered? Or will you, perhaps, despair and curse my name as you often have before?

Let us find out together, you blanks.
