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!

( Probably not, no. But where's the fun in Hadriel if you have all your creature comforts? Or something? )

Liches?

( Yes, that's the thing to concentrate on while looking over the non-alcoholic offerings and picking out something that's a dubious shade of purple. )

Try that.

Yeah, liches. Like, evil ones. Why does no one else ever get that?

[Seriously. Do people really think they're gods? Bullshit.

He does look at the purple thing though, shrugs, and pours a bit into a glass before downing it.]


Good news: tastes like wine. Bad news: totally cooking wine.

[He frowns back towards the container, as if its offended him greatly, which it has.]

... What's a lich?

( Maybe that's why. She doesn't believe in gods, uses the word entirely because it's far shorter than "the weird freaky glowclouds which feed off their emotions" or the like, but

what is a Lich? The word is entirely alien to her. Maybe that's why no one gets it. But for now, Kate's looking at the bottles and picking something else up, inhaling the scent of something that's a magenta colour.
)

... This?

( It smells fruity, at least. )

[He seems like he disregards the first question, at first, taking the bottle from her with an experimental sip. He frowns again, starting to look around the table for something else.]

Do we have like, yeast or something? I could make this alcoholic if I had some damn materials.

[Even as he looks, he finally responds to the beginning.]

And uh, liches are like, someone who binds their soul entirely to magic. Lose physical form, but are pretty unkillable. Problem is most people totally, uh, lose their fuck shit and start creating torture dungeons for fun.

[He gestures up to the rock ceiling, as if it's an example, with a little flick of his wrist.]

So 99% of 'em are total tire fires. I only ever knew two that weren't totally off their ass.

Could just drink a beer. ( Just saying. The beers are pretty good, dude. Kate's more interested in the explanation of liches, which... unfortunately for her, didn't make much clearer. Other than the fact that they're strong and crazy. )

... Guess that's pretty accurate.

( She follows the gesture up to the ceiling with her eyes. Even if the motivations are understandable, shitty torture dungeon pretty much sums up this cave. )

What's that make their killers, then?

( Kate, don't do philosophy, you're not good at it. )
pocketspa: (« [Ugh] im the neverwinter of people)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2017-10-26 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but that requires tasting beer.

[He wants his highly alcoholic shit that tastes like strawberries, okay. He keeps looking as she speaks, finally looking over his shoulder at her at her last line.]

What? What makes them lose it? Because what they're doing is fucking stupid.

[This is still... a little bit of a sore spot for him, even if it does involve a decision of his dear sister's.]

It's like... literally smashing your soul into magic. You have to understand like, all existence at once and accept your own death as step one, my dude. That tends to fuck most people up further than anyone can help 'em.

( Nothing wrong with a beer. They even do fancy ones that taste more like grapefruit than anything else. But the process of becoming a Lich is slightly more intriguing than arguing beer vs other booze for someone whose entire power and career ended up revolving around other peoples' abilities, even if it wasn't exactly what Kate intended to ask.

No one ever said she was a great communicator. The process sounds beyond anything that her world has - maybe only comparable to possession, but who would willingly go through all of this and possess themselves?
)

Hunger for power, then? ( She's guessing. Becoming a nearly unkillable being of magic or power would be a hell of a temptation, much like she imagines is the case with those humans who whisper about Creatures with reverence. They can give you power beyond your wildest dreams! At the cost of your entire self, sure. A Creature possessing someone has unparalleled control over their abilities, but the person is nothing more than a shell. )

[He's all ready to go into another tirade about the boundaries of magic, what should and shouldn't be done because that's just how it is, but it falls dead on his tongue. Lup and Barry didn't do this as a first option. Hell, it wasn't even their worst last resort. Even Edward and Lydia were seeking something long lost, with no options but to give up or go.

He doesn't look at her, still idly reading the labels of bottles, but his voice is flatter than it was before.]


I mean, yeah, but it's... if you were gonna die. If everyone and everything you knew was gonna end, and you had a real chance to protect that by doing something reckless, would you? If there wasn't another option for someone's life, does it seem so fuckin' stupid?

[He wouldn't. She told him their plan and when he laid alone in bed, he almost went and begged her to let him come. What wouldn't he have done to keep her, to keep them-- the same, really, after all these years. But he didn't. She finally went where he couldn't follow.]

This is why having to save the world sucks. Just so you know.

( Kate can be a little dense at times, but even she isn't capable of missing that big flashing verbal sign that says she hit a nerve in some way or another. And it might never be on as grand a scale, but god only knows she has done stupid things for far less.

Eventually, she leaves the questions untouched and answers the very last part instead:
)

Tryin' to save anythin' sucks. Stakes are just a whole lot bigger there.

( Her voice is weighted with the earnestness that says she knows all too well about trying to save something. )

[Taako doesn't like being emotional effectively at all, so when everything starts getting mushy he just lets out a groan, grabs something at random from the table, and just chugs it. Better than talking. He swallows, shakes his head a little, ears flopping a little bit from the motion.]

Woo, alright, that tasted fucked up. Maybe it'll actually get me there. Next time we throw one of these shindigs I'm conjuring vodka.

( Y'know, she is not going to complain about avoiding all things emotional. All the time in Hadriel, all the years away from The Agency, have made it easier to talk openly about feelings, but there's still a comfort found in saying fuck it, let's just drink. )

'S long as you conjure summat else for me. ( Vodka and Kate do not mix, honestly. )

[Damn right.]

You like rum? You can make some wicked good shit with rum. Look, I'll figure it out, I'm fuckin' perfect so it will be too.

( Now he's talking Kate's language, if the change in her expression is anything to go by. )

Works for me. ... You a bartender or summat back home?

( Kate pls just because you drink straight boring drinks. )

Nah. Chef. Mostly I just know what tastes good together.

[He's also had a lot of time jumping worlds to get reeeeally good at pulling shit out of thin air.]

( Well, she can't complain about The Door bringing in people who know how to cook, because she hates doing it and with the mess of things the gods consider edible ingredients, actually making stuff taste good is even worse here. )

Place is a real test of those skills, I bet.

( She's used to cooking things with the aim of "not getting food poisoning" and not much more, so... )
