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.))

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: Those who have lost those who have held what is gone those untouched Come noble bear, come beast of the sea, come many feathered flock, come pretty bird
Where: The dorms, the arena, beyond
When: King's day days day 109501
What: A new

[This time, when the darkness comes, there is no warning. No flickering of the torches, no telltale dance of shadows. Night falls with the force of a hammer blow, cutting off sight and muffling sound in little more than the space between breaths.

This time, for the first time, the doors of the dorms do not lock.

And this time, after a time (how much? How twisted is it now, how long have you been in the dark?), faint in the distance yet close enough you know you could make it, it wouldn't be far . . . a pale grey light beckons, a warm breath of fresh, dry air calling you close.]


[[[Open forever, including backdating; ping Kururu if needed.]]]

Who: Nishi, Mitsuru and Santa
Where: Orion
When: Day 303???? DURING the Delphinus battle
What:

[His suit is fixed and fully up to power again, which means he fades into visibility in front of Mitsuru and Santa without warning. He's holding a box, wrapped in a dorm lined cloak...]

I'm not sure about you two, but I don't think there's going to be a better time to dump this than right now. Every one of the Judge's eyes are going to be focused on Delphinus and Queen.

Who: Anyone.
Where: Anywhere.
When: Day 300, post game.
What:

[A bloodspattered Trixie is pulling her boots off and jumping into the lake.

What are you doing?]

(OOC: General mingle. Locations in title (if you want), tag around, do whatever, 8U)

Who: Parrot, Orion, anyone?
Where: ORION
When: Day 299, noon-ish
What: Using the door for once.

[KNOCKING ON ORION'S DOOR]

It's Parrot.

Who: Anyone
Where: Orion
When: Day 296, morning
What: Doom

[And then Orion exploded]

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: Orion & Co. + anyone?
Where: Orion
When: Day 293, early morning!
What: Newness

[this guy has just waltzed out of his bedroom, and is now glancing about the place with an expression of interest and glee on his face]

Well, well, well! There's no way I'm the only one here.

Who: Orion, Hydra, Apus and a lone Ex-Ophiuchus
Where: Gathering south of the ruins
When: Day 292-293, Curfew hours
What:

[Some minutes ago, curfew fell, the dampening darkness seeming deeper and thicker than it ever has. And one by one, outside of a few dorms, circles of small yellow lights flickered into existence, and each made their way to the rocks and fallen pillars that marked the front guards to the silent ruins of the Sacred City. As each catch sight of each other and puddle together, a young kid in black, bearing no light himself, glances over at Mitsuru, and then back at the group.]

... Apus? Hmm.

I assume we all know the plan?

Who: Monsterhunter and friends
Where: Cetus??
When: Day 291, all day
What: idk, memory catch-up and post-Mirror-heart shenanigans?

[sooomeone is behind on their memories, one from an earlier game and one from that heart game yesterday 8|a;;]

What:

[JUGGLING MEMORY BERRIES. Many of them aren't hers.]

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

[so how are you feeling sabra la tau]

Who: Monsterhunter, Lizardking, Parrot and Persona
Where: Cetus dorms
When: Day 286, after meeting, before deage game!
What: Heart antics!

[After a certain meeting, a cat might have left separate from Mitsuru, stalking off into the shadows too quickly to easily catch, or do so without notice.

It's some hours later, only a little while before curfew that two events might simultaneously be discovered... One, any of Lizardking venturing out might find two modest sized uglyfish on their doorstep... obviously killed by some rather brutally impressive blunt force... and the return of a certain drenched, and rather annoyed cat to the Cetus dorms...

He wastes very little time closing the door and returning to a rather... drenched and rather annoyed human form.]

That should do it. I don't give a shit what happens, but lets get this over with.

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: Anyone
Where: Monsterhunter
When: Day 286, post-game
What: a sparklejesus returns

[Someone is knocking on Cetus's door. It could be anyone, except for what they say next.]

Cetus! Cetus, is there anyone home? Please excuse me if there is not.

[Who else would apologise for thinking a dorm is empty?]

Who: Kaito and Lizardking
Where: Lizardking
When: Day 283, late afternoon
What: Check-ups! and general visitings

[knocking on the door while calling out:]

It's Kaito, just so you know before you ask.
