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!

[Oh lord what is happening. Oh god. She tries to look at him, puzzle through his words, but it is just not happening.]

You're going to... k-kill the gods? Yourself? Why??

[doctoral_bird]

I must stop these fiends, dear!

[ Malkus curled a fist valiantly. Such liquid courage! It flowed through him! ]

To stop any other poor souls from falling into this trap. To stop these cruel happenings.

[ He gestured out towards the jukebox and the table of snacks and goodies. ]

The villains. This is all just a show!

[sciencelizard]

The... party villians??

[After everything the gods have put them through, this is where he's drawing the line??]

Y-You know, out of all the things they've done to us, this one, uhm, isn't so bad...

[doctoral_bird]

Isn't so bad?! Look at me!

[ Malkus rose up and staggered forward, nearly toppling through the table nearby. He swung around to face Alphys, raising his muffled voice. ]

They've clearly poisoned this alcohol! If it weren't for my resistance to toxicity, I-

[ He stopped, abruptly, holding a hand against his mask. Alright, the room stopped spinning. ]

I would surely be dead! And besides that, they are only doing this to distract you from what they'd already done! Pitted us against each other! Shown us how easy it is to turn against our friends!

[sciencelizard]

Are you sure you didn't just, uh, drink t-too much? Delight makes the drinks, uh, really strong.

[She reaches out to try and help steady him again, even if she's much smaller than he is and probably not much bigger than a walking cane to him.]

And, uhm, okay, the event w-wasn't the best, but they didn't kill us... and they could've, so. It wasn't... awful?

[doctoral_bird]

It wasssn't awful but it was cruel. Mean.

[ He plopped down into a chair, lowering his head enough to obscure his masked face. Without looking, he reached around the nearest table for another glass. ]

They just-... keep... on with this. It is so tiring. I have to sstop them, Alphys. I have to close this door of theirs.

[sciencelizard]

[For Alphys, having been here nearly a year, this event hadn't even registered for her on the scale of things they had done to hurt her in the past. Nothing's really going to top the doubles event, honestly. Any event where no one dies, no one's secrets are exposed to the world-- it's a good one in her book.

She sees him going for another and just. Scoots a glass of water into his hand instead.]

I've been, uhm, trying to study it f-for a long time. But Sorrow doesn't let anyone near it. Marian and I have been collecting data for, uhm, months, but its hard to make heads or tails of, uhm, a-any of it.
