Event Log: Dazed and Confused

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Dazed and Confused event!
Where: All around the city
When: September 24th-October 2nd
Warnings: None!

On the 24th of September, you wake up and everything seems pretty normal. You've got to head in for your shift at the guard, or at the clinic, or wherever else people go- maybe you're visiting a friend, maybe you're checking out the library, but either way as soon as you step out onto your street, you're in a foreign location.

No, you haven't been transported anywhere weird. Well, not by anything other than your own two feet. And hey, you could recognize a landmark and know your way back from there! But somehow you turn left instead of right and now everything is confusing again. It's not that the city itself is changing, but rather, it's your ability to take direction and move in the way that you think you should.

On top of all that, of course, is the strange inversion of most abilities. Everything is topsy turvy with your various powers or individual skills, so be on the lookout for some odd changes. Maybe you're usually pretty good at reasoning and now you can't think your way out of a paper bag, or maybe you have fire powers that start shooting icicles instead- either way, it's weird. Hopefully you can deal with it without injuring yourself too much, but... well, it's kind of difficult to make any guarantees when you can't even find your way to the clinic when you accidentally break something.

[Could be worse, Adam - you could be like Nick, caught up in shifting between Morphus and Facade without warning or intent. He may recognize the sight of her from the dream they'd shared, in which she showed herself like this to him - a larger-than-life-sized antique porcelain doll with a cracked forehead in a frilly black dress.

She rounds the corner of the shop's walls and stops short of lumbering straight into him.]

Shit - sorry!

[unknowable]

[That first sight of her is definitely alarming. Adam wasn't expecting to be nearly run over by a giant doll, and he stumbles back, half instinct and half surprise. But after a moment he realizes that she looks familiar - though it does take him a second to place her.

Then his brow furrows, surprised and confused.]

Nick?

[bekommen]

Damn it.

[Of course she'd be spotted out like this, and of course it would have to be someone who recognizes her.]

Yeah, it's me. Adam, right? Been a while.

[unknowable]

Yeah, I... I guess so.

[And definitely like this. He's more relaxed, though, once he realizes he knows who it is. After all, his own powers are acting up. It would make sense if others' were, too.]

Are you stuck like that?

[bekommen]

No, it keeps fucking ch-

[Mid-sentence, her body abruptly shifts back to Morphus, and she once again appears entirely human, though more than a little unsettled by it.]

- Changing. Jesus.

[unknowable]

[He winces a little, more at the surprise of it than anything else.]

That looks really frustrating. Are you okay?

[Sort of a stupid question, but he guesses there are worse things that could be happening to her.]

[bekommen]

[Nick sighs loudly and rakes a hand through her hair.]

Yeah ... I mean, if I can manage to keep from fuckin' killing anyone this time, sure. I'm peachy.

[unknowable]

Is... that likely?

[He more or less trusts Nick, but if she thinks she's a danger, he'll keep his distance. He's not stupid.]

[bekommen]

[She purses her lips unhappily. It's more likely than she's comfortable with.]

Rage thought it was real fuckin' funny to make me want to kill someone a while back. I almost did - I would've, if Chris hadn't stopped me.

[unknowable]

I don't think Rage is involved this time, so there might be less chance of that.

[But he takes note of the possibility. Cabeswater might protect him if anything happens - but who's to know right now?]

[bekommen]

One of these days, these assholes are gonna fuck with the wrong person.

[And it probably won't be her, but she sort of hopes she's around to see it.]

I dunno, I guess they'd get what they deserve.

[unknowable]

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

[It's definitely not Adam, he knows that. Which is fine. He just wants to survive and protect his friends.]

We've just got to get through this.
