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!

23rd, after much delay

[torrefied]

[As it turns out, Mello is pretty good at being sneaky, when he wants to be - all that time he spent on the run certainly made for good practice. The year-and-change he's spent in Hadriel did serve as a factor in making him less of a hyper-focused and highly competitive asshole - Near's revelation of liking him all along also helped, to some degree - but god events gotta get their influence on, so he's back to his old tricks again during this whole paintball bonanza. He spots Michael at a distance, from the alley across the street, notes that he's unarmed and considers briefly just how much of a victory it would be to shoot him, but ultimately decides to go for it anyway. He aims the paintball gun in Michael's direction, fires -

- and misses, with a splatter of paint landing on the nearby wall.]

after further delay:

[Michael flinches, glances at the paint, then looks back in the direction it came from. He squints and kind of slowly, cautiously draws his knife out of his pocket.]

Was that like, a warning shot?

[Or is his aim just off?]

[torrefied]

[Mello peeks his head around the corner, rolling his eyes as he does so.]

The only thing a warning shot is good for is telling people just how much you don't intend to shoot them.

[So that would be a no.]

[aroundthecoroner]

[Wow, that sass. Not that Michael's any better.]

Well if you're gonna do it, do it already.

[He crosses his arms, the knife still sticking out of one of his hands.]
