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!

[Lup spins Ellie and then the girl is suddenly throwing herself at the elf, her own hands instinctively catching the Ellie around the waist. Since they are still in motion, Lup takes the chance to spin with Ellie once or twice, still laughing, before she plops the girl back on her feet.]

Need a breather, sis?

[unknowable]

No problem. See you later.

[With a wave, Adam heads off to pillage the food tables.]

[nowherewolf]

[Tucker is pretty sure that's fake news, yeah. The gods don't need riches, because all they seem to be after is emotion and not dying. He can relate to one of those, at least.]

Do you think they'd give you a cure if you tried to bargain with them? After their dead, it'll be hard to get information.

[lifetothefullest]

Hey, why am I not just Doctor Prime? Everyone else can get new nicknames; I was here first.

[He's clearly joking, especially since he has no idea if he was actually the first doctor she met, but he's going to claim his status as Doctor Prime anyway. He high-fives her in return, enjoying the shared victory despite some of the implications of the event.]

Thank you.

[so_dark_a_road]

[ He'll definitely consider it. XDD ]

We absolutely will! No deity is any match for a set of twins! Especially not Elvish ones! [ He folds his arms in a gesture that echoes the self-confidence and chutspah of hers, and he grins at her. ]

Okay, t-shirt it is! I'll get right on it.

At least you have your brother with you! That's such a good thing! My crew and I have done all right, especially considering we all came from bad situations in our own world. We're adjusting, and we have all been finding our niches -- we all have things we're good at, and can use to help others who need the help. All of us are warriors, and I and my son are smiths, and Elrond is a healer, and Maglor is a musician. Well, I'm a musician too, but Mags is a lot better than I am. I play at the Speakeasy ever week, though. [ Grin. And he drinks there, too. ]

Good place to wrap? -- we can catch each other in the latest Null plot

[so_dark_a_road]

The unconscious people were at least breathing and apparently not wounded. They would hopefully be all right, and they were going somewhere they'd be comfortable -- some nice cots at the Clinic. The healers there would sort it all out.

Curufin laughed with Luke. Humor always helps!

[knockthemdead]

[He smooths down his hair and straightens his suit jacket, easily appeased by the apology.]

It's fine, I understand.

[He raises an eyebrow and gives Angus a wry look.]

Although I'm not sure what else I should look like.

[Surprise!]

[restinglichface]

[The sooner Kravitz realized this, the better for them both. Naturally, the reaper can't quite get out of this on his own terms, so he strikes a deal with the devil herself instead. Good for him.

Kravitz wouldn't be able to miss the way Lup's brows rise up in delighted surprise, the easy curl of her mouth.] Oh, I like you. [Take those words to heart, you may not hear them again.] You're finally speakin' my language. Shove a strong drink in my hand and I'll spill every single secret he's got.

[She won't really, but Lup already has at least five good stories from their younger years of Taako fucking up that she's bursting to share.]

[dedikated]

( Kate snorts with laughter, nodding her head and taking a drink. )

Would be fine with that.

( But, for now- )

Wanna dance?

( This song sounds good tbh. )

[toiletseat_girl]

[George grins at her]

Me, too.

[her eyebrows arch slightly in a "who me?" kind of way, but she recovers quickly and says]

I would love to dance.

[it is a good song!]

[dedikated]

( Kate can be a little dense at times, but even she isn't capable of missing that big flashing verbal sign that says she hit a nerve in some way or another. And it might never be on as grand a scale, but god only knows she has done stupid things for far less.

Eventually, she leaves the questions untouched and answers the very last part instead: )

Tryin' to save anythin' sucks. Stakes are just a whole lot bigger there.

( Her voice is weighted with the earnestness that says she knows all too well about trying to save something. )

[restinglichface]

[Kate is probably already groaning, knowing exactly what's going to happen next.

Lup's hand drops back behind her before she produces a gun, for the second time that night, holding it right over her head, waving it along with the beat of the music.] Not as easy to coordinate outfits with as your jacket, but pretty choice, right?

[hasadoctorsnote]

Nico. How old are you...? I'm 14. Sort of. [When you're born in 1932 but are punted forward through time via magical shenanigans, it's hard to really be certain just how old you are.]

[knockthemdead]

[He barely gets the time for a breathy laugh before Taako is pulling them together again, but it's not as though Kravitz is complaining. Although he's sure he was moderately charming and well put together moments ago, now his head is swimming, and all he can focus on is the way Taako's fingers dance over his neck, and the fact that they're not kissing anymore. They should kiss again.

His reply is dazed and blunt.]

Yes, actually. Should I have been more coy about that? Fuck it.

Yeah, that works.

[farmboyjedi]

Luke was glad to help as much as he could, though by the time he and Curufin finished, he was tired, much like at the fire. He looked forward to a good rest after everyone had been gotten to safety.

[doctoral_bird]

They can hardly make a house without having it look like melting nougat. Fairly sure there's a chair made of deer antlers somewhere out there too.

[ Malkus laughed and gave a shrug, sounding pretty skeptical as far as their powers went. Sure they were powerful! That was completely without doubt. But as far shaping their power, he realized people had to do a fair bit of describing when it came to things they wanted. ]

What I mean is, I am not sure how much they understand of our home worlds. Sickness and such.

[sciencelizard]

[That's a lot of punching Ellie!!!]

Well, I mean, it's good at uh... k-keeping you out of danger? But I guess it's not very good for winning most of the time. I mostly just didn't want to, uh, die. Even if people weren't dying, not r-really.

[hellosirs]

[ Wait, what does he mean by...

... OH, DANG. ]

Oh! Oh, you mean you're actually...! Wow.

Well, that certainly explains the spookiness, it's right in the job description! Do you work for the Raven Queen and everything, sir?

[ Kravitz is no longer a terrifying harbinger of death, in Angus's eyes. He's become a new mystery to solve! Prepare to be followed around with a notebook! ]

[pocketspa]

[Despite himself, Taako actually screams a little when Kravitz gets shot, freezing in place before rounding on Lup entirely.]

Dude! What the fuck! He was helping! Dude!

[knockthemdead]

[Hey, so, this guy? Before he can so much as react, he’s on the ground. Doing that fun “““near death””” thing.

Rest in fucking pieces, Astral Plane cowboy.]

[restinglichface]

[Taako screams, but Lup just grins, raising her shoulders in a way too casual shrug.]

Oops, guess my finger slipped. What a shame.

[pocketspa]

[He actually goes to wrestle her gun away.]

Nope! Banned! Blocked! Forever, my dude!

[restinglichface]

[RUDE, she earned this!!

Taako comes at her and Lup sure tries to get a hand on his forehead to push him one direction while her gun is being thrust the opposite way.]

Oh, stuff it. You did the same shit to me. Now we're even.

[pocketspa]

[GIVE HIM THE RIFLE LUP HE SAID BANNED. He struggles in her grip, smacking her hand away.]

I didn't hit Lucretia to get back at you, I did it to get back at her for me! And that--

[He takes a second to point to Kravitz, face-first on the ground.]

Is mine too!! All of this is about me!!!

[hellosirs]

That... sort of makes sense, in an extremely self-justifying way...

[ Coming from anyone else, that would sound sarcastic and passive-aggressive, but Angus is being entirely genuine. Plus, he's still got that competitive spirit thanks to Rage's influence, so he is all about winning this.

He takes a thoughtful sip of his juice, silently resolving to keep track of all the stuff the twins steal so that he can possibly return it later, and finally nods. ]

I'll pass on the new-to-you stuff, sir, but the spires sound like a good place to start.
