Event Log: Loud Valley

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Loud Valley event!
Where: All around the city
When: August 23rd-August 30th
Warnings: Cute animals, lots of candy, and swanky beats to cheer up with

In the early morning of August 23rd, a siren will sound. No need to worry, this isn't your usual siren- instead of the ear-piercing sounds of the Silent Hill event (thanks, Sharon), the music that plays over the city is a short, happy tune.

Is that a rainbow above the buildings? Why is everything so lush with grass? You wanted water and now candy has popped out of the faucet instead- that's bound to get annoying after awhile. Welcome to the Loud Valley event, which plays nice, happy music, showers you all in flowers, stuffed animals, cake, and smiling emojis, and gives you your very own monster er, companion to play with!

Each character will be getting a companion for the duration of the event, something which, like in Silent Hill, is a reflection of them- but rather than reflecting their fears and flaws, this companion reflects their positive qualities and happiness. The animals will appear to characters when the sirens sound and will be more than happy to just chill out with them, whether by getting some nice pets and cuddles, following them around, or meowing/roaring/barking/hissing/etc at them for some much-needed attention.

Enjoy!

[While others are reveling in the colorful transition of the underground city, Rey is just her usual dull-colored self when she crosses Elmer trying to hand over some candy.

[She opens her mouth to respond to his first question, before the creature accompanying him catches her attention. To which she then gaps at the animal, blinking at the vaguely familiar features she has seen somewhere before.]

That's... Is that a quokka? Seriously?

[When you've been all around the world in the last century like Rey has, you discover all kinds of things people didn't know even existed. That knowledge is not limited to little marsupials.]

[keep_smiling]

[Elmer looks back to his new companion, which is bouncing its way to greet Rey now.]

Is that what it is? I came out of nowhere and has been following me since. I must say, seeing any new animal is a welcome sight. If there's one, maybe there's more, eh?

[circumitus]

[Just as Elmer speaks, a little reptile comes climbing up the back of Rey's sleeveless shirt. It clambers to her shoulder before resting there, gracing Elmer's much cuter friend with its black eyes.

[Rey tightens her mouth into a thin line, only glancing to it with her eyes before looking back to the man.]

Yes, it would seem that there is more than just one.

[keep_smiling]

[Elmer breaks out into a grin seeing the lizard. Look how friendly it is, just climbing up on Rey like that.]

That's great! Animals appearing here can only be good news. Maybe this place will start getting more lively. Who knows, maybe some sunlight is up next.

[circumitus]

Well, this thing seems to disappear when the city changes back to normal. [Rey points towards the lizard on her shoulder, which doesn't even hesitate to chomp down on the tip of her finger. Not enough that it hurts, though. Rey just responds with a tight-lipped expression.]

Think they're part of whatever attraction this is supposed to be. Am suspecting that it's probably Delight.

[Because who else could it be?]

[keep_smiling]

Oh, only temporary? Too bad. But it's nice to get a visitor even for a little while. Besides, this little guy is so cute, that I know he's bound to get smiles out of practically anyone.

[Elmer folds his arms for a moment, thinking, a vague smile on his face.]

I have to say, if there were any of these "gods" I had to pick the side of, I'd have to go with Delight.

[circumitus]

[Rey scoffs, as she is just as smiley as her lizard -- which is to say, the grumpy-faced reptile doesn't seem capable of expressing much overt happiness at all. How fitting.]

You and just about most people here. She's probably the most popular of the bunch.

[No mystery as to why.]

[keep_smiling]

Better that someone positive was waving their influence around that negative, right? Though you don't seem in agreement about that. How come?

[Don't people usually want to be happy?]

[circumitus]

[Elmer isn't wrong, she knows. If this place was doom and gloom all the time, Hope wouldn't stand a chance against Fear. She almost feels sorry for the guy.]

...

Am jumping with joy in the inside.

[Almost as if to call her out on her bluff, the horned lizard chomps and tugs at her hair.]
