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!

[Taako just kind of. Looks at him, letting the fire fall from his fingertips.]

I'm out here showing you, uh, real fuckin' magic and you wanna see card tricks? Really? Kid, I can make the cards come from wherever the hell you want but I promise I have sweeter stuff in store. Honestly.

[puzzlingly]

「Cards are rad what are you talking about.」

I think you just don't know any, but fine, let's inflate your ego. Show me what you can do.

「Impress him, my dude.」

[pocketspa]

[Cards are lame, Atem, please. He rolls his eyes, scanning quickly through his most used spells. He needs to think of something that's Lup- which means he can't just go to his normal party trick of turning into whatever animal he wants with Polymorph. Also, fireball is off the table because there's like a ton of people and he doesn't want to suffer the collateral.

Ugh, this fool won't know the difference. He grins, like this was his plan all along, and takes the Umbra Staff off his waist, starting forward an incantation.

In just a few moments, a light shines from the end of his staff, bursting forward and starting to take shape underneath Taako into something that looks like... a horse. Well, not necessarily a horse, but a binicorn, the unicorn's more badass older brother. When the light finishes taking shape, it bursts into color, and Taako lays atop the animal, who looks towards Atem and speaks in a much deeper voice than Taako's.]

Sup, little man.

[Taako, meanwhile, just has his eyebrows raised, looking pretty pleased with himself.]

[puzzlingly]

「He'll show you some tricks of his own... someday~

Now, dear you... there is something slightly off going on here, the gurl he knows would have said something about it. Something witty and petty and damn funny, something to antagonize him, because she would never shut up. But he let's it pass, because that binicorn is actually pretty cool!」

... You can summon monsters? What can it do?

「He might or not be actually very excited about this.」

[pocketspa]

[See, this is where once you spend enough time around the twins, you start getting to know their quirks. Taako prefers to let his work speak for itself, maybe quite literally, seeing as the binicorn can actually talk.]

What can’t I do, dude. I can run real fast, I’m quasi-real, something with rainbows probably.

[Taako chuckles, patting the creature’s neck.]

This is Garyl, and as you can see, he fuckin’ rocks.

[puzzlingly]

「This is so cool man, SO COOL.」

How fast, Garyl? Can you make rainbow bridges?

「He'll get back at you, little impostor.」

[restinglichface]

[Lup??? Never shut up??? Yeah, okay, that's a fairly accurate summary of the woman.

Speaking of which, it's the sight of Garyl that drags the elven woman over finally, her wide grin drifting from Taako to Atem then back over to the binicorn.] Sup, Garyl. Lookin' fly as always.

[She makes a point of putting a hand against that beautiful, quasi-real, mullet of his before her attention shifts back to Atem.] Met my double, huh? Don't be fooled. It was deffo my quick thinking that sniped your ass, not his.

[pocketspa]

[Garyl gives her a little head shake back, along with a 'sup', but Taako looks highkey more offended, his voice dropping back from his imitation of her to his natural tone.]

Lup, what the fuck. I totally had this guy! Coulda kept this going for at least another hour, natch.

[puzzlingly]

「Sweet mother of Osiris! The hell is going on!?

Nah, he's not that surprised, he knew something weird was going on! But it does take him aback to see them together. So this is how others felt when they saw him and Yugi take separate bodies huh? Like seeing double.」

Okay. First of all, no, you had like five more minutes before I asked. This is her alright. 「dat trash talk bb~ Always so fine. 」so... Lup... And who are you...?

「He asks the "double".」

[restinglichface]

[The woman rolls her eyes and gives her brother a pointy-elbowed nudge in the side.] Honey, summoning Garyl, as cool as he is, is kinda a dead giveaway. Kid already saw my magic, you totally fucked up. Probs should've stuck with the fire. Sounds too easy, but it seems real.

[What can she say. Girl loves to throw fireballs around.

With that taken care of, Lup throws her arm around Taako's shoulder, ignoring how offended he looks, and drags him close, so Atem can get the full twin effect.]

This is my brother, Taako. Twins, obvs. But c'mon, give it to me straight. How good did he have you fooled at first?
