Sabra La Tau

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...]

What:

[So, are you excited? Ready to grab your newly returned friends and have a final party before the final party? Well, unfortunately it's high time to cut that light and bright mood short.

It begins with a grinding noise, the sound of stone grating against stone. The walls, the floor, the ceiling; all of it begins to tremble and quiver with a building energy. The stone of the caverns begins to smooth out, all the rough and craggy natural formations sinking away before the eyes of the blanks, and it doesn't end there. As the surfaces all smooth out, natural formations that jut out from the floors and ceiling, from the walls . . . They too begin to sink away with a screeching, rasping noise.

The grinding begins to sound more and more like metal on stone, and then metal on metal. The natural curves of the walls and tunnels begin to realign themselves. The ground quakes as the entire cavern—the whole of Sabra la Tau reshapes itself. It's no longer caverns and tunnels, it's great rooms and perfectly straight halls. Stairways form in the side of hills and inclines that level themselves into smooth floor at the top.

The grinding becomes less deafening, easing into the uniform, mechanical sound of gears and clockwork. Everywhere, the earthy browns and green tones of what used to be a cave are leeched away, replaced with stark black and white in artistic, straight-edged geometric patterns. Where there were once gaps and natural openings in stone walls, there are now crystal clear panes of glass. Even the torches have changed. In their place are simple indentations spaced evenly along the walls and in the ceilings, each emitting a bright white glow to light the areas.

The dorms are changed as well, when you arrive upon them. Sixteen rectangular, white buildings sit, perfectly spaced apart from each other, each only distinguished by a tasteful carving on the black door. Within, there are three rooms each evenly spaced, a parlour, a bedroom with beds evenly spaced apart... and in the back, a storage room where all the unique items you've collected have been thrown into.

Finally, your uniform washes out, becomes smooth, clean and standard. A simple white top, black slacks regardless of gender, and a tie bearing your team's colors.

As all of these changes finish completing themselves, an oppressive atmosphere is left hanging in the air. The weight of your actions hangs heavy from your shoulders. Try as you might, shaking the knowledge that there are rules—that there will be consequences for breaking those rules is near impossible to do.

The sound of gears ticks onwards.]

[OOC: ALL UNIFORMS ARE CHANGED. ALL. EVEN SPARES. Dorm-stone lining is no longer present and any dorm stone used to make them has fallen out. Likewise, if you are carrying more items than you can hold in the pockets of the new uniforms (there are two pants pockets only) it is either loose in your shirt or falling out of your pants.

Entirely unique clothing that was never originally a uniform is still okay.]

[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.

Okay, fish! Prepare yourselves! Here I come…

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.))

*with so many people drunk courtesy Soldier, this seems like the perfect time to go out and do an embarrassing mission. if you look like a good target to sing to, Ed may be stopping you for a moment*

Orion, is Crown in? This is June, I want to talk to him.

Who: Ophiuchus
Where: The barracks
When: Day 277, Evening
What: Ranking change

[If it were not for the refreshing of rations, and the low rumble of the snake moving irritably, you may not even know that the rankings had been called this month, as they stayed absolutely static.

For most, however, bedsheets and coffee aren't really a large concern compared to the atmosphere hanging overhead and the way the opening to the snake's chambers feels... dangerously warm.]

I grow weary of lisssstening to failure...

If by thissss turnover again, there are ssstill no resssultsssss, I will take matterssss into my own domain.

Head thesssse wordsss carefully.

Who: Parrot, anyone
Where: Cetus's roof
When: Day 277, morning
What: Just a little crazy.

[A fine Parrotman specimen is sitting on Cetus's roof. He is humming some kind of superhero theme to himself while he chills out there, being told to stay indoors doesn't suit him too well.]

Who: DelPavo + anyone
Where: DelPavo
When: Day 276, evening, post-plotting
What:

[Whatever locks the Geardorm has on its main doors have now been very securely locked. And then re-locked, just to be sure.

A cranky tiny is scrutinizing them as if he's seriously considering adding more.]

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 276, morning
What: Oh no Ophi everywhere!

[After the small explosion, the escaped plant monsters and the Queen mongling from the previous day, Ophiuchus is up bright and early knocking on peoples doors. WE'RE ON A WITCH HUNT.]

Who: Izaya, Guardian and ...?
Where: Ophiuchus Barracks
When: Day 275, early evening
What:

[The torches are beginning to dim for the evening over what was a rather ... exciting day for the regular Blanks... The barracks still remain a center of calm to walk back into for an Ophiuchus.

So much so, that would one wander down, they might find the enormous snake sleeping lightly on its own coils.]
