The Temple of Bastet The scent of heady incense is the first thing to hit your senses when you enter the temple to the cat goddess Bastet. Large, decorated pillars line the main room stretching to the ceiling high above which is also elaborately painted with hieroglyphic images of Bastet with many cats.
On pillows around the temple cats of varying types lounge about, some scamper and play chasing the myriad of cat toys that litter the floor. Golden bowls filled to the brim with the choicest treats are laid out for them. In the middle of the expansive temple room is an indoors fountain painted with images of cats, but instead of water it is magically enchanted to spray forth fresh cream from the mouths of bas relief cat heads.
At the back of the temple room stands a gigantic, golden statue of Bastet herself in her human bodied and cat headed form. The many light sconces and lamp lights nearly dance their radiance upon her.
Posted clearly were the rules of the Temple.Rules of the Temple~ Be kind to the cats ~ Keep yourself under control. Innuendo is your friend.  ~ No whining, don't make people feel bad for loosing ~ No editing contest posts for any reason (without permission) ~ No cheating... obviously, you will be expelled from the temple for doing so ~ Please do not bid more then you can afford (with the auctions) ~ No retracting bids ~ Payment for auctions are due within 24 hours ~ For timed contests and auctions the end time of the auction is the the very last possible second on the minuted posted. ~ If you win a Sphinx or job upgrade please PM the Mr. Pooka account within one week with your cert info or it will go back into the giveaway pool. |

 Sahret paces like a caged tiger as the doorway opened. The energy in the air was electric, she loved these trials and relished the fight with the potential priestesses. To become a priestess a sphinx must defeat her in combat and be the last one standing. It was a challenge that she faced each year, fighting many until her muscles and wounds nearly took her.
She smiled from behind her mask with excitement as the potentials entered the temple.Sahret: Ii-wy em Hotep. Welcome friends to the temple of Bastet. *she eyed the prospects, sizing them up for the fight* This is the twelfth year of ritual combat to join the ranks of the warrior priestesses. We honor Bastet's more ferocious side in her battle against Set. For those of you who wish to participate in the ritual combat to become a masked warrior priestess, I shall momentarily ask you to dedicate yourself to the combat.If you have fought me in combat for three years in a row, show me proof of your devotion and I shall make you a masked priestess due to your tenacity. Determination makes for a great warrior. ((Ie. if you have participated in the contest for three years in a row, including this one, you may PM sphinxes with proof of your entries with links to pages with their first combat entry. (Not just signing up, the sphinx has to be there for at least the first round of the combat) they will gain the job upgrade to priestess of Bastet.)) Contest to become a Masked PriestessOOC: How the game will go. Basically each round of combat will be played much like 'rock-paper-scissors' but will instead be 'swat-claw-rake' swat = rock (beats rake)
claw = paper (beats swat)
rake = scissors (beats claw)
tie = Sahret winsI will use the dice roller to see which option Sahret uses. All of the entrants who are still standing will attack Sahret at once. When Sahret gives the word to attack her, you have 5 minutes to post your attack choice in bold. If you don't post by that time you are out. RP descriptions of the sphinx's attack is cool, but not necessary. The winners of the first round will be able to face Sahret into the second round... but then a new trick will be added. She's not going to take it so easy on you the second time around. Winners of the second round get to enter the third round, etc. Entrants for this year...sanguinedragon (Eleanor) Phoenix Stardancer (Hasina) ninjawoo (Metea) wolfrysk (Kahi) hybridsiren (Istir) shlee (Raehira) Rayvin_Kittiy (Thana) Moophles (Kaileah) hotaru13 (Chiyeko) Cryptic (Disphorya) tierasa (Nubiti) Angel_of_Music (Samira) |

 Selene IV stretched and yawned happily in her over-sized comfy bed. Though many seemed preoccupied with the odd time effects popping up all over the city, so far it hadn't really been a problem for the adventurous priestess. Rather it had simply added more opportunities for her particular sort of man hunting like her own personal shopping portals! Bad boy gangster men? Yes please! Fancifully coloured Raptor men? Ooo, adventure-y! Oh and knights? A man that comes pre-wrapped for the holidays? Nice! Her closet was well stocked... The Priestess of Bastet hopped up from her bed ready for the day and she pawed to the window to push aside the curtains and let in the light of Ra to warm her room while she readied herself for her own holy trials... was it a tiny bit chill this afternoon? She pushed aside the curtains dramatically and her eyes narrowed...
"What fresh hell is this?" The Priestess cursed. 
The priestess called down to a young boy passing by, "You there young boy! What day is it?" "Why it's Yule ma'am, isn't it wonderful" called the youngster excitedly!
Hurmmmm, thought the priestess, you lock Santa up in your closet one time and then BAM! Revenge. That must be it. Well not this time you jolly old elf! This is my day! ...and her thoughts were interrupted by... "Greetings and merry Yule Selene IV! Isn't it wonderful, a Yuletide mira..." The Yuletide priestess was interrupted. "Nope! Go to your own thread, this one is mine now! Heb~Bastet, right there in the title!" Now back to the Priestess Trials! This contest is open to any female Egyptian Sphinx from peasant to princess! There are two ways to win this upgrade and both of them involve posting a dramatic entry post for the Sphinx who would like to try out for these upgrades in this thread along with their image! This entry post is a prerequisite in order to participate in these contests!Contest Number One - The Game of Risk!Make a post in this thread containing as many male Sphinxes (that you own) that you are willing to risk to enter this contest along with the code word RISKS! All of these posts must be made within 10 hours of this post. After this time limit everyone will be entered into a draw with each male counting as one ticket. I will use a random list and the winner will be the person on the top of the list. Both the winner and the person on the Bottom of the list (ignoring doubles) will FORFEIT their males to Selene IV permanently! Contest Number Two - The Game of Cats!Sometime within 24 hours of this post Berenice VIII will run through either this or the main Heb Bastet thread. The first person who has made an entry post who posts the Phrase "Praise Bastet" will win the Priestess of Bastet upgrade for their entered Sphinx! |

 Sahret: For those of you wishing to become a masked priestess, show yourselves and proclaim 'To become a Warrior Priestess, first you must defeat a Warrior Priestess.'.
I shall take entrants for the next hour. After that we shall begin the ritual combat.
((OOC: Ie. Post the normal posed, female, Egyptian sphinx who is trying to become a priestess of Bastet with that phrase in bold. RP notes are not only fine, but appreciated since they add the right feel to the thread. ^_^ You have until one hour after this post to enter. )) |

 Eleanor was new to this, but the moment she had set eyes on this sacred temple, she knew this is where she wanted to be. As she took a deep breath, she stepped into Bastet's sacred halls with every intention to prove herself worthy of becoming a priestess. She did kneel before the altar to pray that Bastet would find her worthy enough to join such a honorable sisterhood. |

 Metea walkes in and looks around this year she was going to try her hand at this and maybe luck and the gods would be with her. |
