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!

Hm. I hadn't thought about it that way. [deliberate misinterpretation, or coming from a different point of reference entirely. What a twist.]

I suppose it's too early to form theories. I've only been through a couple of instances were supposedly they were influencing us, how we think and how we feel. How they knew what I worried about back home...that's uncertain, now.

[the minds of gods are impossible to fathom]

Yes, I suppose. This is only my first time, but I was able to resist the paintball gun. Perhaps because guns don't exist in my world or maybe I was just fortunate.
hot_mes: (brooding)

Not even curious enough to pick it up? Smart. You may not be so lucky next time. There was definitely something about the gun itself this time - I didn't have a reason to touch it for several days, it wasn't until I did that I got involved.

[he looks into his cup, almost rethinking the rum]

It might be wise to be wary of any gifts they hand us.
roseofthetyrells: (whisper sounds that sweet)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2017-10-01 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I wasn't. Perhaps because I read the note first which sounded like a threat. I hope that I'll be able to resist the next time, but it's impossible to know what that next time will even be. What made you finally pick up the gun?

[Marg takes a sip of her wine. it doesn't taste as sweet as it used to]

You think perhaps they're drugged?
hot_mes: (unimpressed)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-02 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
No...I'd be able to tell. [well, it would take some work but eventually he'd figure it out] The food is safe, for now. It's not like we have much choice in that matter.

As for the rest...I could no longer just dodge and hide. I had to defend myself. I didn't want to end up in a coma like the ones who got hit.
roseofthetyrells: (I'd like to tell you all about it)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2017-10-02 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
That's a relief. It's impossible to avoid eating, after all.

Did you make it to the very end?
hot_mes: (poutyface)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-02 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I don't prefer guns but I'm pretty good with them when I have to be.

[and he sounds entirely grumpy about it. But then, the prize for winning was even more guns so...]
roseofthetyrells: (of her of her of her of her)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2017-10-02 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I've never seen one before now. We have no such things where I'm from.

[because that's what this place needs. more guns]
hot_mes: (suspicious)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-02 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't matter. Next time it could be a book - anything. Who knows?
roseofthetyrells: (all there is all there was)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2017-10-02 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the problem. We have no way of knowing what that next time might be. Only that there will be a next time.
hot_mes: (unimpressed)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-02 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. So. Stay on your guard, your majesty. [rumsip]
roseofthetyrells: (that story that ease my)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2017-10-02 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Always. You, too. [sips at her wine]
