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.

I mean, I can give it a shot! Worst case scenario, I just gotta tow you with my vroom broom. Which is still pretty cool.

[pocketspa]

No, no, fuck it, I can do this.

[He holds his concentration as steady as he can, channeling the other spell, and suddenly, in a burst of motion, they lurch forward and nearly into a tree.]

There we go!

[weedbgon]

[ SORRY, BIRTH OF HIS BELOVED CHILDREN, NEW BEST DAY EVER COMING THE FUCK UP.

Merle is laughing his ass off, unabashedly. ]

Rest in peace, Taako and Merle! Won a battlewagon race, couldn't fly a chair across town!

[pocketspa]

No, I got this, hang--

[It's like someone trying to use flight controls in a video game for the first time. Or like a really bad game of Flappy Bird. Taako eventually opts for a bunch of lift, which results in more drops, but they're fucking moving and no one's been flown of Taako and Merle's dickhead chair ride.]

Woo! Taako rules! Multi-spell drifting, fuck you other wizards!

[weedbgon]

Regular wizards got nothin' on this guy right here! There's no stopping this train!

[ FLAPPY CHAIR AIRBOAT IS THE APP WE DESERVE.

Tho I guess at this point it's safe to say they sailed majestically into the sunset and then Magnus yelled at them for not including him or something? ]

[FLAPPY CHAIR AIRBOAT IS THE NEW HADRIEL MEME OF 2017.

But yeah he probably sails it straight into the side of the spire. It's great. Selfies were taken in front of the wreckage. Fuck you gods and your depressing bullshit, Taako and Merle turned their trauma into flappy chair airboat. Suck it.]
