Event Log: Party Royale

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Party Royale event
Where: All over the city!
When: September 22nd-29th
Warnings: Paintball, loss of consciousness, and partying!

As is par for the course in Hadriel, at some point throughout the day- waking up, making breakfast, doing laundry- you find an item. This isn't just any item though, it's a tried and true paintball gun, shining and just waiting to be picked up. This gun never runs out of ammunition, never malfunctions, and almost always hits the target that you're aiming at, so say hello to your new best friend for the next week.

Touching or picking up the gun will fill you with a competitive surge, which will likely increase when you find the note that's left with it, saying nothing more than be the last one standing. With instructions like that, how could you lose?

Well, you could lose if someone else shoots you. But never fear, there's a plan for that too! Even if you embrace the throes of unconsciousness, the gods have got your back and will eventually teleport you into a grand party where prizes will be handed out based on how long you survived. Awesome! At this party is also the traditional copious amounts of food and drink, as well as everyone's favorite goddess Delight and everyone's slightly-less-favorite goddess Rage!

Happy paintballing, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

She diiiiid.

Maketh has a moment to gloat before Rey counterattacks and discovers that Maketh is, indeed, very ticklish. "Oh, you--! You are terrible!"

[circumitus]

Just to make sure Maketh does try to wiggle her way out, Rey traps the other woman in her arms as she continues her attack.

"You should know better than to wage war with me. It's my job to find my enemies' weaknesses."

She's a mean killing machine.

[glacius]

Though Glacius is still happily coasting along on the placid sea of endorphins permeating his body, that sentiment--so simple, and yet so powerful--captures his attention more clearly. Those few but striking words would be uplifting enough on their own, but with the link between them active, he can feel it for himself. He can feel his partner's love, and the peace and hope that he gets

And for a creature who has sometimes wondered just how much he can mean to beings so different from himself, and has at times struggled to define his place among them, that is no small thing for Glacius. It makes him feel love and peace and hope, too. He curls his arm around Carlisle a little bit more tightly, carefully allowing some of his icy shell to retract to allow his partner closer--and to give him a more comfortable place to rest, as resting is what he seems inclined to do right now. The alien doesn't mind; it means he did his job right. He just settles back against the bedding and gives a smitten little sigh.

"I love you too, Carlisle. Now, rest... it is my turn to watch over you now, and I shall be right by your side when you awaken."

[mismanagement]

Maketh pouts up at Rey. "My revenge will be swift and dedicated. You do know this, don't you?"

[circumitus]

Maketh is fortunate she is so damn cute. Rey ceases her assault for now, giving her a slight squeeze in her arms.

"That so? Then I look forward to it."

[toiletseat_girl]

Tell me about it. I went the other day and it's like they have every fucking size of jeans but the size I wear. On purpose. Jerks.

[toiletseat_girl]

[they'd get their fill from George alone. rage and sorrow are her two most commonly felt feelings]

If not, I guess it's back to weird shit next month?

[George tries to not think about the gods much. with the exception of Fear, none have made a good impression]

[roseofthetyrells]

Somewhere else. How would I even know what to choose? Earth's technologies are beyond me, though I haven't heard any better options.

[occupiesvitalregions]

I did! Once. [Performing at a Six Flags park.] I challenged him to an arm wrestling match, and won. He says he let me win, but I think he was just saying that to make himself feel better!

[fracturedbeauty]

Well, I'm not so certain you'll make it so far as victory, Knight-chan. Though, please continue to try~

[He dodges, dances from, the bullets with ease. Each flambouyant twirl is a taunt to urge, and even frustrate, his opponent.

After all, he's been nigh untouchable before.

The second Kain starts running, Yukari swiftly charges at Kain. Suddenly, a nigh-invisible wall erects itself before Kain, to let the knight crash into as Yukari follows up with a swing of his blade.

Oh, yea, he's supposed to be using paintballs for this, isn't he? Oops. Sorry,
not sorry.]

[knockthemdead]

[Oops. Uh. He didn't meant to annoy her that much. Kravitz opens his mouth with the intention of settling things, but then remembers exactly why he's annoyed with Lup in the first place, and gives her a look.]

The last time I saw you, you shot me at close range.

[restinglichface]

Yeah, but that wasn't about you.

[Gosh, keep up, Krav.] Taako straight up murdered Luc in cold blood, so I had to get him back. And hey, surprise, you're his boyfriend so it was an easy target. It was brother revenge, not anything against you, dude.

[So now you can say you are sorry.]

[knockthemdead]

[Reluctant as he is to get closer, Kravitz doesn't want them going hungry for this game, and if they use magic on food, they might not have it for something they need later on. It just makes sense to help out.]

I can get us to the stores. Although stepping through a portal will likely mean a brief moment of vulnerability.

[ghostlocked]

[What the fuck even is your life, dude???

Harlan ticks up an eyebrow.]

You're a pirate. [Sure, fine, whatever. He'd accept pretty much any story about Law's origins at this point. Hadriel is made up.] What kind?

[deets pls.]

[hot_mes]

[yo ho pirate's life?

He's had this question so many times over the past month or so that it doesn't even bother him]

Pirate-pirate. With a ship and everything. [deliberately folding his arms to rest his drink against the sunburst tattoo on his forearm] Captain of the Heart Pirates.

[aroundthecoroner]

[He sighs again, but this one's got kind of a laugh in it.]

Me getting shot wasn't your fault. It was mine, for going out there in the middle of everything. Hard to protect people who make stupid decisions. Don't worry about it.

[nowherewolf]

[He's not out of earshot just yet, but to be fair, his earshot is pretty far. Not as far as he'd like. He's sincerely regretting that "jump to the roof after him" maneuver. This isn't going well. And then his opponent speaks up.

Tucker's not above admitting defeat, but Curufin's not even offering defeat; he's offering a truce. Which is even better.]

I don't know how good of an idea teaming up would be, but I'm all for an amicable parting. Just so long as you don't try to shoot me in the back.

[Not that he thinks he can necessarily trust the elf's word on it, either.]

[leashed]

I wasn't aware that you were a prince.

[It's not like he'd act differently, but it definitely makes him reframe their relationship thusfar. Rome tilts his head downward, respectful.]

I apologize if I've been rude.

[leashed]

Of course.

[He nods.]

I shifted and tracked your scent from the clinic to- well, here.

[At the totally-normal party hosting place, right?]

[knockthemdead]

[He's not too concerned about the wand; unless the boy knows to hit him with radiant damage, Kravitz is relatively safe. What he is concerned about is this once amusing, now entirely inappropriate moniker.]

Kravitz! My name is Kravitz.

[Sigh.]

Yes. That's right. I simply didn't someone else was in here. I'm not- I'm here to collect your soul. Even if your time was up- which it's not- there would be no point in this place, anyway.

[closerift]

I think part of the issue is that people are 'killin' each other' every few weeks, and then they have to fix it and to placate us, and then it all happens again. [ She huffs out an exhale, still dancing, enjoying herself despite the conversation. ] Those asses.

[ Maker, what she wouldn't give to punch one of them. Just one of them, just one time.

Not Delight, though. ]

I can't believe that I thought I had died [ sort of ] and my only consolation was this.

[ Making a face, she turns around to show off the leather jacket she's wearing. ]

[pocketspa]

[Taako waits until Angus is close, grin wide as he approaches that then descends into rancorous laughter as the illusion disappears.]

Ango, Ango, Ango. You've gotta stop falling for that.

[Really, he's gotta stop trusting Taako, but... both of them don't really want that.

However, seemingly satisfied with getting his show out of it, he does actually reach into his bag and chucks a real juice box at him, a lazy underhanded toss into the air.]

Oh, that was so worth it.

[He looks back over towards Lup, giving her a thumbs up for the hat.]

So, where we headed next?

[jocoeur]

( akira pulls a red glove tighter on his hand as he reaches forward to take hers to shake with a playful— ) Hnhmm.

( which is all he offers in response to that. perhaps keep her guessing on whether or not he really did have something in mind as his prize. ) We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

( pulling his hand back, there's a flourish of his long jacket as he turns around, waving only once with a— ) See you on the other side, Lup.

[ghostlocked]

[And okay he's actually laughing now.]

Right? Magic is great. Saves me from having to haul my ass up seven fucking flights of stairs every day.

[Why did he pick an apartment on the seventh floor that was such a bad idea...]

[ghostlocked]

Hah. Sounds good to me.

[He loves talking to people, so he'll happily chat with George until the world ends. He just doesn't like crowds.]

Shit, that'd be awesome. You know any other musical types around here? We should check Rydia's post again and see if anyone stands out.
