Who: Almaz...THE DEMON
Where: Outside Monoceros
When: Day 71, Night
What: HOLY CRAP I'M A DEMON

*Almaz has the FOLLOWING UPGRADES: red eyes, fangs, claws, pointed ears, and a demon tail. He is taking it well!*

T..this really isn't cool! At all! Not cool! Not cool at all!
23rd-Oct-2009 05:44 pm
Who: Zelgadis, Mao, Almaz
Where: Operation Room
When: Day 71, Afternoon
What: Penalty round 2/3

[So perhaps you smelled the most wonderful aroma after the knock, or perhaps the cadence was just familiar or intriguing. Or in the case of Mao, you were just scooped up while being impressed for the 15th memoryless time at how amazing of a test subject that squidrat in your hand could be...

Whatever it is, you are now in a clean, aseptic room, unbroken white walls surround you and a steady, sourceless light above obscures the view of the ceiling.

There is only a table with straps in the middle of the room to break the sterile monotony of the design.]

((OOC: Since this batch was decided in advance, no open snagging threads, though teams feel free to make posts to note disappearances or returns if you so desire! Otherwise, you know the drill, separate rooms, etc.))

Who: Scarlet
Where: River
When: Day 71, noonish
What: Cleaning =|

*so MAYBE a certain someone was more cranky about her dress getting covered in blood than dying. Scarlet has her usual clothes, along with the encrusted dress, and is stubbornly scrubbing the stains out of everything*
20th-Oct-2009 11:27 pm
Who: Allen and Aeris

When: Day 71, morning

Ahh . . . even if the stains don't come out . . . if it would just stop smelling so much . . .
19th-Oct-2009 02:16 pm

Where: Hydra's dorms
When: Day 71, morning
What: Intro!

[There is a loud crash followed by a whimper coming from one of the bedrooms. Do you investigate?]
18th-Oct-2009 08:42 pm - GAME 51 ENDGAME
[and suddenly there is a very ~regal~ presence back in the school. All of the Zombie's raging hunger suddenly ceases along with the majority of their remaining biological functions over all the school intercoms you can hear the King humming Barry White to himself, slightly off key]


I've been feeling fine, Baby~
having sex with my wife for so long~♫
and cuz she felt, like I felt, Baby~
We got it on~♫



Alright, after a night of extremely satisfying and vigorous love-making, I find myself again in possession of the unending patience and unerring judgment to deal with you sad, ungrateful lot. I must say, you've all sunk to a new low this time. I understand as well as anyone that Trickster's tomfoolery can be in poor taste, but a little bad shellfish is no excuse at all to turn what should have been a lovely evening into such an uncouth spectacle. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother doing nice things for you.

In any case, I suppose I'll have to sort all this out. Those of you who have continuing biological functions are to report back to the cafeteria, and the dead may report to the gym for punch and brains.

18th-Oct-2009 04:00 pm - GAME 51 - PART II
Who: The living
Where: SLT High
When: Morning 70, in the hours just before dawn
What: The dance goes on...

[Suddenly, the power goes out.]

[Everything is very, VERY dark.]

[Somehow, Soldier's equipment still seems to work. He is playing the song Beethoven's Cunt, for no particular reason.]

17th-Oct-2009 10:58 pm - GAME 51 - THE CAFETERIA
[Once all the still-living blanks enter the cafeteria, the doors seal themselves shut. For now, the zombies cannot get inside, no matter how much they try.

The cafeteria itself has little more than benches and chairs. In the connected kitchen, you'll find various food items and utensils. There is a massive stove top, a huge oven, and a walk-in fridge. There is also a first aid kit and many towels, if you should happen to be bleeding profusely.

There are still many hours until dawn.]

((Okay, the game is at a stopping point for the night! Thread as much as you want, but no zombies until tomorrow! :|b

By the way, though Ophiuchus has been long since sent home, Soldier will be playing all night))
17th-Oct-2009 03:44 pm - GAME 51
Who: Everyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 69, evening
What: The Homecoming Dance

[In the center of the Arena, there is a squat brick building, with the letters "SLT HIGH" hanging above the door. Outside of the building is a nicely-kept track field, at the center of which you will see the King.]

Welcome, all. We're very pleased to see you here at the Homecoming Dance. As a group, you've made it through 50 games thus far, and We think it's time you had a little reward for your efforts. Kick back and relax, dear blanks. This is meant to be a magical night. There will be entertainment, activities, refreshments, and an after-party to keep you kids busy until morning...

Oh, and to those of you who seem to think that this is going to be a fight, you should know that there will be no horseplay at the dance. Your battle capabilities will be returned to you after the game.

[You may notice a draining sensation from your limiters, because from this point on, everyone in the game is reduced to normal human capability. You're at level one offensively AND defensively, and you have no powers whatsoever, no matter how innate they may have been. Any weapons you may have brought with you have disappeared.]

Well, that's enough of a preface, don't you think? Go gussy yourselves up.

[At this point, you are instantly transported to the appropriate location.]

Who: Whomever.
Where: Bathhouse.
When: Day 69, afternoon.
What:

[man, it's pretty crowded in here right now, what with that dance thing. chaz is trying to get clean as fast as humanly possibly so that he doesn't have to discuss the gigantic scars on his arms and chest to anyone. he's trying so hard, in fact, that he's dropped his soap.]

Uh, sorry, could you pass that-?
16th-Oct-2009 08:50 pm
Who: Apollo and YOU
Where: At your team dorm!
When: Day 69, sometime in the late afternoon
What: LET'S INVESTIGATING

[SOMEONE IS KNOCKING AT YOUR DORM DOOR. VERY LOUDLY. After convincing himself that yes, the common areas are relatively safe, Apollo's out and about trying to get a grasp on the situation! Clearly this means by harassing every team ever \o/!]

Ah--! Hello? Anyone in there?

Who: Othar and anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 69 mid-day
What: Sad Othar in Snow

*Othar has noticed some of the side effects of the heart game. Namely, his inability to create anything functional. You might notice that he's surrounded by projects as he sits there on the ground, but not only do they all look like someone made them with their off hand in a dark room, but none of them work. Othar currently looks like he might cry, as he pulls apart two of his projects and tries to recombine them into whatever it is that he's seeing in his head*
13th-Oct-2009 02:31 pm - fertile ground
Who: anyone
Where: Lacerta's garden
When: Day 69, mmmmmmmmmmmorning
What: getting back in the swing of things


Aah, sorry to you too, but I am back now. I promise.

[Aeris is sitting in her garden with her tools just poking at things. It's much slower going than it's ever been before, and sometimes she needs to stop entirely, muttering to herself or possibly the plants, but she's steadily undoing any backsliding that her week of absence caused.]
13th-Oct-2009 08:46 pm
Who: Mitsuru, Syaoran + anyone
Where: Down by the lake
When: Day 69, afternoon
What: Book-learnin' and some conversation.

[There's a kid down by the lake today very studiously doing his homework -- reading a book and making notes.]
12th-Oct-2009 03:51 pm
Who: Cygnus, Pyxis, whoever else might pass by.
Where: Outside the Cygnus/Pyxis dorms.
When: Day 69, afternoon
What: Sewing dresses for Homecoming.

*outside the Cygnus/Pyxis dorms, one girl is working on sewing a dress for the upcoming dance/game*

...I wonder if I can really finish this in time...
12th-Oct-2009 02:33 pm
Who: Orion, anyone who would be in/around the dorm.
Where: Orion dorms.
When: Day 69, morning.
What: Journal entries.

[New addition to Orion's journal in hand, someone has just opened up to a blank page- and frozen at the sight of the one before it.]

...Jim? Carly? Chaz?

I think you should come and take a look at this.
11th-Oct-2009 06:27 pm
Who: Il Palazzo
Where: Cepheus
When: Day 68, evening
What: Ilpa is alone and monologueing. ...Or maybe 'monologue' isn't the right term

Is this it? All you have worked for, and this is where you end up?

This is temporary.

Ah, but how temporary? The world itself is but a blink, and yet the mortals find their lives, their comings and goings, their petty struggles and wars and treaties most permanent. The things of their world are passing, but here. Here you interfere with those of vastly more power than yourself. Are you not aware of that?

I am aware.

I do not think you are. The masses you reside with certainly do not seem to understand their own surroundings. You are weak. Weak! Your enemies are coming for you. The wolves are at the gate, death is at your door, and you sit here. Pathetic. Pathetic.

My enemies...

Enemies...

...

Enemies...
11th-Oct-2009 05:53 pm
Who: Anyone!
Where: Lakeside
When: Day 69, morning

10th-Oct-2009 03:55 pm
Who: BLANKS WITH NO GROOVE
Where: Arena
When: Day 68, evening
What: Dance lessons!

*Ophiuchus has no unearthly ability to call you to the Arena, so chances are someone stopped by your dorm earlier to let you know there would be homecoming game preparation in the evening. Either way! The time has come. And it's not hard to spot the large area of the arena that has been swept clean. Slick and Reaper wait there.

Slick is wearing his new duds, which you may have seen him in. Black slacks and a black button up dress shirt. With the new addition of a nice fancy, black and silver handled cane. His hair is swept back.

Kariya looks the same as ever, but with his coat put aside so you whelps won't get distracted by his shiny buttons.

They are waiting for you (=*
9th-Oct-2009 07:44 pm - Penalties, round 1
Who: Cepheus and Pyxis
Where: Just outside, and then ELSEWHERE.
When: Day 68, afternoon
What: Who could it beeeeeeeeee now?

[Oddly enough only a few of those who had lost a certain game might now hear a crisp, short tapping at the doors. It might be that it had been so long that you don't even remember the game, but that IS how it usually goes, doesn't it?]
9th-Oct-2009 07:11 pm - SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE HER

Who: Anyone
Where: Vulpecula/Hydra common area
When: Day 68 early afternoon
What: A lost Blank comes home

[A dirty and annoyed Blank may have passed you by before he makes it to the ladder to the Vulp/Hydra common area. With broken threads not holding his right hand to his wrist anymore]

Finally!
9th-Oct-2009 07:15 pm
Who: Scowl and Spiky, whoever's wandering by
Where: The west bank of the lake
When: Day 68 Mid-morning
What: Something completely safe

[Those of you who haven't gone to make pretty dresses today may find Scowl and Spiky on the lakeshore. There's a makeshift target made of firewood and a pederpe skin tied to a pillar, a knife already hanging from it.]

See? Throw it just like that. Make sure you keep your upper arm still.

(ACTUAL ACTIVITY STUFF GOES HERE)

Where: The Canis dorms!

Where: Cepheus-Lepus common area
When: Day 67, late morning
What: Sparring 8|

* hear the rare sound of clashing metal in the caves? it's probably coming from the two members of Cepheus choosing this fine hour to test out their new toys. With a very harmless and tame sparring session, of course o/ *

And this is starting with BINGING ON HIS PRIVATE FOOD RESERVES with AS BIG A MEAL AS HE CAN JUSTIFY TO HIMSELF. Which is basically all the extra food they've been given that they DIDN'T NEED and then all of the food Aeris hasn't been eating. 8|]

4th-Oct-2009 12:34 am - GAME 50 ENDGAME
[As everyone starts trickling out of the hearts]

How was it? Did you make your mark?

((Feel free to revive as you see fit, everyone! Persona revives to slightly worse condition than you came in; you will come back to life, but you're still kinda sore and maybe you have a sinus infection. Idk. Pick a minor discomfort and roll with it.))

- Delphinius

CLOUD
- Cygnus
- Lepus
- Hydra

WISH
- Canis
- Pavo
- Orion

OTHAR

When we are together, our hearts touch one another... but what if you could touch the heart of another directly? Can you make an impact? Who among you can make the greatest?

1st-Oct-2009 08:55 pm - Game 49
Who: Blanks!
When: Evening, Day 65
Where: The Arena
What: Loser Game~!

The blanks were mysteriously drawn to the arena. . .or was it really that much of a mystery? It was game time, and it was as if an ominous voice were calling to them to join in~! Many came, but out of all the blanks, only nine teams on a very unlucky losing streak actually had a chance of discovering a memory.

When the blanks arrive, much to their surprise, a new statue seemed to be in place, and quite a lovely one, if I do say so myself. Surrounding the statue were piles and piles of books made purely of stone. Surely these weren't for reading, the blanks may wonder, but what else would a statue read?

((Mingle! // Game + Explanation // Orion, Pavo, Canis// Pyxis, Cygnus, Lepus
