Event Log: Bad End

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Bad End event
Where: All over the city!
When: August 23rd-September 5th
Warnings: Bad futures, awkward conversations, smashed mirrors

You wake up to find a mirror at your bedside - a pretty nice one, too, a silver hand mirror perfect for fixing your hair in. Only when you try to do that, it's not your gorgeous reflection that you see. It's something else - a terrible future, just about as bad as anything you could imagine for yourself.

Maybe you see your loved ones dead on the ground, and you know it's your fault. Maybe you see the goal you've been working so hard for pulled out of your reach forever. Maybe you see someone you've hurt in the past ruining your life. Maybe you see your hot girlfriend leaving you to shack up with your worst enemy. Whatever you see, it really sucks, and you know that it's possible. This future could happen if you make the wrong choices, give in to your worst impulses.

Break the mirror if you want, but you'll see the same vision in any reflective surface in the city. You can't break them all, but you can sure try. And what will you do when you see your best friend's vision - and it features you betraying them?

Seek reassurance, give reassurance, lash out, vow to yourself that you'll never let it turn out that way, sink into the depths of sorrow because you feel like the future you see is inevitable. Whatever you do, it won't take away those visions - not until the event is over.

[Hux smirked at the mention that the Guard hated him, he didn't have to ask why.]

Of course they will, if they have even a bit of common sense.

[mismanagement]

They're soldiers.

[She says this as a warning, in case he's forgotten where they both stand.]

They will do what is necessary. Though I suggest shutting your fool mouth more often, General. Bragging is unbecoming.

[therewillbeorder]

I don't need to brag, my accomplishments speak for themselves.

[And he was rather proud of what he had managed to create even in this place for both the guard and a few projects just for himself.]

But for now, I think we just need more whiskey.

[He really wasn't in a hurry to return home.]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh rolls her eyes. My accomplishments speak for themselves. Arrogant little bastard.] Whiskey. Yes. We're going to the bar.

[To get more whiskey and possibly sleep on the floor like the responsible adults they are.]

Keep up!

[therewillbeorder]

[He quickened his pace so he was walking beside Maketh, amused.]

Good. Perhaps we'll be lucky and the quality of whiskey has improved.

[They are great at being responsible adults.]

[mismanagement]

Clearly you haven't been drinking enough.

[Quality is something that other people worry about, people who aren't borderline alcoholics. Maketh grins at him, laughing.]

We'll fix that.

[therewillbeorder]

Clearly not.

[He had looked down on Maketh for drinking so much but he was starting to understand why she did. He had a feeling he needed a new hobby now that Kylo had left.]

I put my trust in you then, since you know what you're doing.

[mismanagement]

Of course I do, [she huffs.] I am an amateur in nothing.

[And then they're at the bar. Wonderful. Time to drink away their feelings.]
