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!

[Prussia nods approvingly. A good shot at his age? This is a person with promise.]

No one's saying ya gotta kill people. But there are monsters always crawling all over this place! They show up once a month in the coliseum, trying to eat the newbies. Once a few months ago when things got bad, they all got loose from the cave, too. A lot of people around here don't know how to defend themselves, so if you do, keep it. You can help others and keep yourself from bein' a liability.

[He nods sagely now. This is probably the wisest advice Prussia will ever have to offer.]

[ Angus puffs up indignantly! He might be overreacting a bit, but it's because he's spent most of his detective career being underestimated and talked down to. Having to prove yourself to every patronizing adult, over and over and over, gets old fast. ]

I wouldn't be a liability! I'm the greatest detective in the world - my world, anyway - and I know some offensive magic, and I'm good at figuring things out!

[occupiesvitalregions]

World's greatest detective? Seriously? [In fairness, Prussia talks down to everyone, because he's an egotistical jerk like that. He wants to argue with Angus, but something he says catches him by surprise.]

Oh wait, you know magic? No wonder you don't need a gun then. Unless it's good to have backup. Doesn't magic need like, energy or something? If you run out, all the energy you need for a gun is being able to aim and pull the trigger.

[hellosirs]

I... I guess you have a point... it'd be handy if I ran out of spell slots, and I don't have my mini-crossbow with me anymore...

And yes, seriously, I am a very good detective.

[occupiesvitalregions]

Of course I have a point. Detectives sometimes get so wrapped up in the details that they're not considering the bigger picture!

[Prussia taps his forehead, so full of great thoughts. Thoughts he thought of just this moment.]

So keep it, just in case, okay?

[hellosirs]

Yessir! I will.

[ He won't, he'll end up giving it to a friend for safekeeping, but he has permission to borrow it whenever he needs! ]

Hopefully we won't have any need to use these anytime soon.
