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!

"All right." Luke agreed. "It's okay, I have mine." He pulled them out and started the engine.

"I just hope this isn't permanent. I mean...I know most of the time, people wake up or come back...but you never really know. I just hope they'll be all right."

An expression of uneasiness crossed Curufin's face.

"I hope they're all right, too. I was assuming this was just a game, and I got involved. I was having fun. But. . . damn the gods, they have such bizarre ways of thinking. They might just think it's funny to get people to kill each other, believing they are only playing a game."

Luke nodded. "I really don't like the things that they seem to want to let happen here. It's not right." he agreed.

"That's the understatement of the year!" Curufin observes, with a wry chuckle.

It isn't far to the Clinic, and soon they are pulling up in front of it. Curufin hops out, runs around to the ambulance compartment door and pulls it open. "Once we get these people inside, I suppose we could keep driving around and see if we can find anybody else who needs a lift?" (Pun intended.)

"Yeah, it probably is" he agrees.

They'ere at the clinic quickly, and Luke nods as he helps unload the patients.

"That's probably best." he replies. "I have a feeling there are more."

"I don't doubt it for a moment," says Curufin. "The way everybody's running around shooting each other. . . there are bound to be unconscious people by the cartload!"

Not that Curufin hasn't been contributing to the problem himself. It's just that with Luke here, the firefighters' ethics are invoked, and so he does an about-face and starts behaving like the rescuer he is in his current life.

They haul the people into the clinic. And there, they hear the news -- the people who get paintballed remain unconscious but don't otherwise appear to be harmed. The healers are hopeful that this means they'll awaken when this event is over.

Luke and Curufin emerge from the Clinic building and head off to find more of them.

Luke didn't like it, but he figured it had to be true. So many had been using the weapons, and there was no telling how many had been hit before they'd realized the extend of the problem. "Yeah, I agree."

He listened along with Curufin and thought about the situation as they went back out to find more.

Apparently, there were others who were doing the same as they were -- taking unconscious people to the Clinic. If they saw anybody struggling to carry anybody, Curufin and Luke stopped and volunteered their services as an ambulance. They probably thereby saved the Clinic staff from having to treat a number of cases of back-injury that day!

After a while, they had the city center cleared of bodies and they were working their way out towards the outlying neighborhoods.

They crossed the river and checked out the area of Tranquility's temple and the moped lot. Surprisingly, a lot of people had picked this region to paintball each other. There was a whole heap of people by the temple wall.

"Guess this group were all terrible at running away," chuckled Curufin, as he squatted down to make sure they were all simply unconscious and not in any other way injured.

"Here, help me with this guy! He's heavy." Curufin took the big guy's shoulders and waited for Luke to take his feet, so they could sling him into the fire engine compartment.

"Yeah, looks like it." he agreed. It was tiring, even for him, to keep going like he was, but he felt there'd be time to rest later. He had to keep going as long as possible.

He got to work right away and when Curufin asked for help with the big guy, Luke didn't hesitate to do as asked, grabbing the feet and helping get the guy into the compartment.

They carefully stacked the people on the floor of the compartment, keeping them as comfortable as possible -- though there was no knowing whether or not the victims would or would not have any memory of their experiences after they had gotten hit with the paintballs. The two firefighters placed small pillows under the people's heads and covered them with some spare blankets.

Curufin laughed a small wry laugh. "I feel like we ought to be tucking business cards into their pockets, with phone numbers and net addresses. How about this? -- DOA? Not if we have anything to say about it! When you need an ambulance right away, call the Hadriel City Fire Brigade! We'll get you to the Clinic on time!"

Luke helped, not sure either what they'd remember. They were present in the Force to him but figuring out if they had any awareness or memories wasn't possible at the moment.

He laughed. "Yeah, maybe. Advertising is always good."
so_dark_a_road: (amused smile #1)

Good place to wrap? -- we can catch each other in the latest Null plot

The unconscious people were at least breathing and apparently not wounded. They would hopefully be all right, and they were going somewhere they'd be comfortable -- some nice cots at the Clinic. The healers there would sort it all out.

Curufin laughed with Luke. Humor always helps!

Yeah, that works.

Luke was glad to help as much as he could, though by the time he and Curufin finished, he was tired, much like at the fire. He looked forward to a good rest after everyone had been gotten to safety.
