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!

[One of them shot him - it doesn't really matter who, as in the end they're both guilty.

Luckily, Rhy doesn't hold grudges. Usually not against people who actually try to kill him, so definitely not against people who just beat him in a game. Besides, he came out of it with a cool new leather jacket, which he plans to base a new part of his wardrobe on (there must be decent options in the shops, right?) so it's not all bad.

He walks up with a glass of wine, or something like wine, in his hand.]

You ought to know.

[nowherewolf]

[Tucker looks over at the unusual answer and squints. Oh shit, yeah, he totally shot Rhy. Or did Kyna shoot him? Eh, it gets hazy after a bit.]

Whoops, my bad.

[His expression says he totally does not think it was his bad.]

[anoshe]

That's all right. I'd say you owe me a drink, but -

[He shrugs, raises his glass.]

They're all free.

[nowherewolf]

Honestly? Best thing about this place.

[He finishes pouring his drink and then just takes a swig right out of the bottle.]

So we're cool then?

[anoshe]

[Awesome. Super classy. Rhy is amused.]

Yes, until I find some way to repay you for it. That would only be fair, after all.

[nowherewolf]

[Tucker laughs.]

I mean you're welcome to it. Maybe there'll be a round two. Good luck. I'm not gonna make it easy, though.

[anoshe]

I think I'll have to learn how to use a gun with more skill. We have similar weapons at home, but not nearly so accurate.

[He has a long list of stuff to learn.]

[nowherewolf]

From what I understand, guns don't come up too often here. You might be able to make a deal with that Rage chick if you really wanted one.

[Yes he has an extra, but he also has plans for that.]

Supposing you do manage to get a gun, though, I'd be willing to teach you a thing or two.

[He shrugs.]

I'm not like an expert, but I'm a decent shot.

[anoshe]

I can use a bow well enough, but that doesn't seem quite as dangerous. And clearly that's something that matters here.

[Though the problem of getting a gun... well, it's not an impossible one, but not easy, either.]

I may just take you up on that offer.

[He sighs.]

It feels like I'm always having to prevail on people here to teach me things.

[nowherewolf]

Hey, don't sweat it. It's not like all of us know everything. I mean, hell, I wouldn't know the first thing about shooting a bow.

[Despite them being rather common in his line of work. He prefers gun. Gun > arrows.]

Guess I just got lucky we're in a place with shit I recognize.

[anoshe]

I wouldn't have minded getting a little bit luckier on that front. Then I'd feel much more prepared.

[Rhy smiles, a touch self-deprecating.]

But I don't mind learning new things. I just wish it didn't involve getting shot and falling unconscious for a few days.
