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

[And then Orion exploded]

Who: Anyone
Where: Outside, near the lake
When: Day 293, evening
What:

[kid on a haunted mark passed out, mysterious mist, you know the deal by now]

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: ??? + friends
Where: Orion
When: Day 292, morning
What: meet & greet

[someone new is coming down the stairs, peering into the common room]

Hello? ...Is anyone home?

Who: Santa, Mitsuru and Soldier
Where: Orion
When: Day 290, Morning
What: Beautiful things.

[Standing outside of Orion's pyramid there's Santa-- ready to call on a certain Judge with a few tributes prepared just for him. There are three dishes especially prepared for soldier: a plate of carrots-- all cut up to look like tiny dongs, and another of mushrooms, still cut up to look like tiny dongs. The third plate has mixed vegetables, but don't worry: they're all arranged to make the shape of a dong on the plate.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice your dignity in order to test important things.]

Guess I just gotta call him...

[there's a pause, and then he finally goes on with it]

Hey, Soldier, get here for a minute. I gotta ask something about chicks, and I made some stuff to celebrate your dick in exchange.

Who: Isabelline, anyone.
Where: The lake.
When: Day 290, morning.
What: FISHING AND FAILING.

[Should you happen by the lake this fine, cavey morning, you'll be treated to the sight of a Pyxis shounening herself up to do some SERIOUS FISHIN' AWW YEAH

… With what looks to be a spare shirt.]

Okay, fish! Prepare yourselves! Here I come…

Who: Orion and anyone at all
Where: Outside Orion's dorm
When: Day 289, getting on toward evening
What:  A party thing honoring the Dude pleasant "fuck you" to King with this timing mission. This is serious business you guys.

[The step pyramid that is Orion's dorm is looking festive today; strands of those metallic-tasting berries and cinnamon-bark have been carefully threaded and slope downward from the roof garden. The cookpot has been filled with water and dragged outside; all six of Orion's cups are outside, as well. Nearby, two freshly killed pederpes have been butchered and sliced into manageable pieces, and beside the meat, there are thin slivers of mushwood to use as skewers.]

[Perhaps the most noticeable change, however, is the hole in the rock in front of the dorm- and the wood that has been piled up inside it to make a massive bonfire. Sketched on each side of the fire, in charcoal, is the rough outline of a turtle.]

[A kid in yellow is just finishing up drawing the last one.]

There. This had better be good enough to count.

Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 289, noon
What: Good Ends

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is that strange darkened landscape again...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation between up and down, walls or even the floor. You can only see the throne in the far off distance, and three pathways each covered with a lush carpet: gold, orange, and lavender. One bears the sigil of the hunter, club upraised and a string of jewels shining in his belt. The second has several foxes embroidered cunningly into the cloth, their silhouettes nearly invisible against the background. Finally, a great peacock adorns the third, its many tailfeathers rising nearly the entire length of the path. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table holing a punch bowl and several large party platters.

However, should you follow either of the pathways, the landscape begins to change...]

[ Orion | Vulpecula | Pavo | Everyone else | Memories | Wishes | Departures--- SURPRISE TWIST ]

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: MonsterHunter + visitors
Where: Orion
When: Day 288, after the game
What: lolol

[Once again we are victorious! Congratulations MonsterHunter, your prize is coming home to a house with bloodstains leading all the way to Grace's room.]

Who: VICTIMS Anyone, Trixie.
Where: Anywhere.
When: Day 288, afternoon.
What: Sorta dehiatus, PICKPOCKETING 8U

[Whether blank or Ophiuchus, if you look like she might be able to lift something off of you, this lil' nuisance (who, up 'til now, has been on a fruitless treasure hunt out in the wild yonder) is gonna give it her best shot.]

[ALART ALART!! A SMALL PEBBLE FALLING OUT OF NOWHERE TO BONK YOU ON THE HEAD!! What do.]

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.))

((EDIT: NAP TIME. I WILL BE BACK. BACK))

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: Delpavo and anyone up to fording the river to visit
Where: Geardorm, main foyer
When: Day 286, evening to night
What: Blanket forts and snuggle piles.

[In the time when others have been out talking, there's been a minor decorative change to Delpavo's main shared living space. It looks like all of Pavo's blankets and pillows have been amassed between the two curving staircases—spread over chairs and stools and hung from lines tied between the banisters to form an airy, panelled tent.

Through the open flap waits a small pile of combs and brushes, more than a few mechanical parts and tools, cups of warmed root milk and a small tray of bite-sized morsels.

And spreading the last of the pillows on the mattresses and boards covering the floor is Feathers, humming softly to herself.]

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: 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: BLANKS
Where: THE ARENA
When: Day 286, Morning ??? WHO KNOWS
What: Game~

The call today was a fleeting, pleasant one. The blanks that followed may have been on their way to more important matters, or perhaps simply going about their daily gathering routines. In any case, once they arrived at the arena, they'd find some familiar faces. On the grass, surrounded by grazing sheep, the blanks slept, their expressions peaceful.

"My, my," the Judge thought aloud, her book closed. "I wonder if this is really a happy ending."

[THE SHEEP AND GRASS ARE CARDBOARD. Latecomers are A-OK, just hit me up on IRC (Ash). Sign-Up/Mingle/Rooms/Memories]

Who: Hydracula, whoever
Where: Skullcrusher mountain, ON THE ROOF.
When: Day 286, morning
What: Some really loud blank being LOUD

[There's a tiny new blank on top of Hydracula's dorm roof, and he is busy shouting at no one in particular. He's really, really, really loud]

KYAHAHAH! HIGH PLACES SUIT SOMEONE AS MAGNIFICENT AS ME! LOOK AT ME, I AM A MAN WHO ALWAYS STAYS ON TOP OF THINGS! THIS GREAT ME IS A MAN WHO CAN RULE OVER THE EARTH AS WELL AS THE SKY!

[he's having the time of his life]

Who: She wishes she knew, and uhhhh anyone?
Where: Outside near the Delpavo area
When: Day 286, Mmmorning?
What:

[ There is a preteen girl in Pavo clothes that's wandering around outside Delpavo's area after waking up and (quietly) panicking in general. She looks lost, confused, worried, and most things are kind of blurry for her. Por que, life.

Also she's tripping on a lot but at least manages to stop herself from faceplanting each time... This is not going as she had planned. ]

((Sleeping! Will do tags laterrrrr.))
