Event Log: The Seven Days of Hadriel

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Seven Days of Hadriel event
Where: All over the city!
When: April 17th-April 23rd
Warnings: Delicious food, a week full of fun, and nothing terrible at all.

After everything that went down when the city split, the residents of Hadriel deserve a break - and the gods are trying to give them one. For a week, each god will be taking one day to throw an event of their choosing. Nothing is mandatory, nothing is designed to manipulate, so relax and have a good time!

On April 17th, Hope is holding a grand feast. The dried and canned food usually found in the shops is replaced with tables of freshly-made dishes, ready to be eaten. There are foods of all kinds here, familiar and very strange, and each different one is marked with its ingredients. There's bound to be something you'll like, so stuff your face, take a box or three of leftovers home, and gain a few pounds!

On April 18th, a racetrack appears near the moped lot, and Tranquility starts holding moped races! There will be quite a few different races held across the day, so stop by any time - drawn by the thrilling revving of moped motors, no doubt - and race your fast friends and your furious enemies for the grand prize: bragging rights.

On April 19th, Rage takes over the arena for that most brutal and vicious of fights, a pillow war. Anyone stopping by will find stacks of pillows of various shapes, sizes, and densities, all ready to be pick up and used to wallop the person next to you in the face. So work out some of that aggression!

On April 20th, Confusion sets up her hedge maze near the orchard. This twisty, confusing labyrinth can keep you occupied for quite awhile - though if you get too confused or lost, you can always tap out and be instantly transported back to the entrance! Do your best, though, and you might make it to the end - where two lucky winners get a magical compass prize, and the rest get, well, a less magical one. Your two lucky winners this time are Sans and Richie Gecko! Enjoy your prizes!

On April 21st, Love is ready to help all of you find a little more love in your lives. Stop by the Speakeasy (the owners of which are super stoked about this) to get the name of someone to go on a romantic (or platonic!) date with. Successful dates not guaranteed, but Love is not terrible at their job - the name you'll get will, at the very least, be someone you can get along with.

On April 22nd the library gets a little livelier with Delight's open mic! Stop by to show off your singing skills, display your master poetry craftsmanship, or tell a funny story. Got another talent you want to show off? Sure! Jugging flaming batons, messing up amateur magic tricks, sword-swallowing - everything's welcome!

And finally, on April 23rd, Sorrow will close the week with a formal masquerade. Masks are not required, but formalwear is, and can be found throughout the shops. Spend the evening listening to tasteful music, nibbling at refreshments, and maybe finally getting a dance with that guy, girl, or non-gendered being of your dreams. Dance the night away, assured that no one will be turning into a pumpkin, and wake up the next morning feeling relaxed and appreciated for all that you've done for the gods.

Attend all the events, none at all, or just a few! It's entirely up to you.

Josephine does have a way, doesn't she?

( There's a smile to accompany her words, a mask of calm against her real feelings. She's spent a little too long indulging in fears, but it was for a purpose.

Leliana also doesn't quite trust all here. They may be safe for now but parties are not always what they seem. The gods may have their own game but she's beginning to learn the rules.

Still, she will happily sing her friend's praises, eyes only lingering on the Inquisitor for a few moments before looking back out to the room )

[closerift]

And she would insist you try and relax if she were here, Leliana. [ Cecily advises sagely. ] Maker knows we've earned a bit of a reprieve.

[ If this turns out to be tainted food again, though, she'll - ]

Do you ever indulge? [ She pressed, and then laughs, abrupt. ] ... You know, I think I've demanded the same thing of both Josie and Cullen on separate occasions. I suppose now it's your turn.

[chantes]

( Josephine may be one of the few that colour get Leliana to relax, for a time anyway. The Nightingale was particularly flighty this evening )

There have been moments. ( Cecily had heard about the underwear, correct? ) Though they are sweeter when properly served.

( Any indulgence you got tonight... would be pushed, and though it may eventually work would not feel so pleasant. But do try )

[closerift]

Mm-hmm. Well, this is one of them, isn't it? Will you enjoy this evening with me, spymaster?

[ She doesn't know how Leliana's relationship is with her own Inquisitor, but Cecily takes the former bard's advice at the War Table more often than the others'. ]

[chantes]

( The question that should be asked was whether Leliana had relaxed at all since arriving in Hadriel. The answer would likely be no.

There's a few seconds of silence before Leliana responds, beginning with a nod )

I am at your whim.

( Though Cecily wasn't the woman that Leliana had come to know as Inquisitor Leliana respected her as such, and thought of her as a friend. She could indulge her friend for a time )

[closerift]

My whim? [ She repeats, adopting a dangerous smile. ] Ah, that's a tricky thing.

[ Cecily knows that Leliana and Josephine have previously had Too Much Fun at parties. Maybe she can get that kind of behavior out of her again... ]

A drink, then? To start?
