hadriel_logs | Event Log: Party Royale

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!

[ well gee, don't try to shoot anyone with that thing. It could be loaded. ]

Oops, my bad. I guess you can't always tell a book by it's cover there?

[ Dean grins and then takes a swig of his own beer before he gestures with it. ]

So is that the consolation prize? I'm surprised they just didn't let you keep the paint gun.

[ you know, considering how effective it was at taking out most of the entire town. ]

[Listen Tucker's totally got this gun safety thing on lock. He demonstrates this by shoving the pistol unceremoniously in his jacket pocket. Now he's got one in each.]

What exactly are you trying to say about my cover?

[His tone suggests he's not exactly offended by it, though.]

They probably let us keep these since they actually run out of ammo. And from what I hear, Hadriel has kind of a crime problem, so I guess we're going with the good old fashioned American approach.

[Not that he objects.]

Only that you have one.

[ way to be vague Dean. However, the other man does get a bit of a smile out Dean and he barks out a laugh. ]

Are you suggesting we need to do our best impression of a John Wayne classic? I may like a good western, but we're lacking in a few good, wide open spaces. [ Although Dean doesn't do a half bad impression of Clint Eastwood either. (Or at least so Dean thinks) ]

[Just vague enough that Tucker isn't sure if Dean's being too perceptive for comfort or not. Whatever, he's ignoring that.]

Yeah, not big on westerns. I'm more of an action kinda guy? Anyway I wasn't taking about vigilante justice.

[He's just... assuming. He doesn't know anything about John Wayne movies.]

I just meant like, I don't know, gun-nut stuff. "Defend your shit with firearms" or whatever. Second Amendment. Whatever, the moment's passed.

That's basically the definition of a western. You don't ever get out of one without a shoot out happening somewhere in the only salon in town.

[ but yeah, whatever. ]

At least we've got every man for himself bit right. Especially with the BS the so-called gods just put us through.

[ or, rather, everyone else. dean just had to sit and wait. ]

Eh, it wasn't so bad. Sounds like the worst shit's already passed.

[Or maybe he's just being optimistic? Must be the beer.]

And anyway, every man for himself's just the way of the world, my friend.

[ Dean raises his glass ]

Now that sounds like a good reason to drink. Of course, after making us play at killing each other with the lead paint guns, it kind of makes me wonder what the null will do that's going to be worse.

[ other than, you know, making death permanent. Or that cannabilism drill that he's been told about already. Okay, there might actually be quite a few things worse. ]

I don't know dude, murdering the shit out of us?

[That's pretty high on Tucker's list of "do not want".]

And I guess by comparison this paintball shit is nothing. I've heard the gods do way worse. So if the Null are like, evil in their eyes?

[He'll leave that to Dean's imagination.]

[ Dean raised an eyebrow ]

You mean of the permanent variety or some sick groundhog fight club version were we just keep repeating the same thing over and over again?

[ you know, like that Bill Murray movie? anyway, he shudders a little at the thought of what might be worse because he's seen and heard a few things thanks to his days of being a hunter. Sometimes, he really wished he could go back to being ignorant. At least then he wasn't constantly looking over his shoulder ~~and he'd have his mom back~~. ]

[Tucker shrugs.]

Hell, I don't know. I wouldn't put either past the gods, but I get the impression these Null assholes aren't here for the pointless Saw bullshit.

[He'll see your movie reference and raise you another one. More in his vein of movie, anyway: over-the-top horror. Not entirely removed from reality, as far as he's experienced it; in his world, there is no "being ignorant".]

((ooc: feel free to drop if this is way too long ago to pick up again. Sorry for the wait.))

So you’re saying their just here for the maiming and the murdering. Now that just smacks of a Mel Brook’s movie but a little bit lacking in the humore department.

[ over-the-top horror, huh? Dean’s more of a B-movie horror fan. He gets enough of the real life horror to last him a lifetime. Then again, it is rather funny to see just how wrong Hollywood gets it. And scary as heck when they actually get it right. ]
