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!

( Well, if you ever get around to finishing it, Curufin, you can hand it over to her. She misses the potency of one, combined with the mobility that the longbow doesn't give her. She won't be trading the jacket though, it's far too nice.

But for now, with a nicely uptempo beat flooding the party, Kate would rather dance than talk, easily sliding into the beat. All that athletics practice is good for many things, dancing included. )

[ Okay! She can have it. But he won't ask for a trade; he does all of his work pro bono. Yellow isn't Curufin's color anyway. XD

Curufin falls easily into the rhythm. That's one nice thing about being an Elf -- they all have great moves. And he doesn't care what kind of music it is or what the tempo, he's adaptable. He is a graceful, inventive dancer. And he smiles to see Kate is the same. He thought she would be. ]

( She hasn't heard that about elves, but then again, she didn't even know elves were a thing until she got here. Whatever the case, it's good to burn off some energy, as though she hadn't been doing that during the entire tournament. )

Hell of a way to tell us they're back.

( And far better than the shit Rage could have pulled, honestly. )

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Different kinds of energy -- the kill-your-ass! kind and the dance-the-night-away! kind. Nice to follow up the one with the other. ]

Don't they do everything in a hell of a way?

[ Right now, he can do without the kind of event Rage would have staged. ]

[dedikated]

... Fair.

( She still remembers the chaos of the city after Rage tried to make people kill each other. That was one hell of an introduction to what Hadriel was really like. )

Least no one really died this time.

[so_dark_a_road]

[ He rolls his eyes and nods. He hasn't been here as long as Kate has, but he remembers the MAD event in December. He also remembers the havoc the Doubles wreaked on the Hadrielites, and later on, the ghosts. And how he waited in Hope's temple for Yukari to return to life. And he's quite sure there are deaths he doesn't even know about that could be laid at the gods' door. ]

Thank goodness for small favors.

[dedikated]

( Far too many. That's the nature of this city - always taking something, someone, for the sake of the gods' energy. It's easy to become disillusioned about the whole thing, too jaded to care about the sanctity of life or really feel the pain of loss when you know your friends will come back soon enough. Have to, because the gods need them too much.

She's heard too much about too many people dying here, before and after she arrived. She's caused deaths and died herself. Eventually, it's just easier to take the revivals for granted, like they're nothing more than an extended hospital stay.

Kate snorts at Curufin's words, twisting her body in time to the music before she responds; )

Aye. Smallest.

( Nothing more than a small coma, this time. )

Good place to wrap?

[so_dark_a_road]

[ He snorts in agreement. ] Yes.

[ Their styles are different, but they both love rhythm and motion, and they are highly competent at this. They weave their way among the other dancers as the multicolored lights flash in their eyes and dye the dance floor and its occupants in changing hues. It is a good way to end a rather stressful event. (Even if it was not the most stressful! ) ]
