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!

[That makes him smile.]

I would have said something similar myself. But magic is natural, too.

[hot_mes]

Is it?

[if he can science magic, boy, that'd just blow his mind]

I suppose that's one benefit of worlds colliding. Being able to learn about alternate theories and processes...

[unknowable]

Sure. It's part of the world, it just abides by its own rules.

[Adam, a scientifically minded person, finds magic difficult to work with - but not impossible.]

Yeah, you're right about that. It's really interesting how different everyone's worlds are. You've got pirates, I've got magic, someone else has spaceships.

[hot_mes]

Space ships...

[okay no that's a discussion for another day. One thing a time here, Law.]

Then it's less a case of 'magic' used to mean 'something I'm not intelligent enough to parse' and more to suffice as a term for whatever it is powers or abilities are in your world. Understandable.

[unknowable]

Maybe.

[He says it carefully. He's not sure he would call it that.]

I wouldn't really call magic 'powers and abilities'. It's not as easily categorized as that. I know what you mean, though - a lot of people here have very specific abilities that seem like they could be magical, but aren't quite. But I guess - well, I have a closer relationship with magic than most people, but I can't throw fireballs at will or anything like that.

[hot_mes]

Shame. [deadpan - he's kidding! Mostly.] I've met one man who can, here. Could be a useful skill.

Maybe it's better than I don't jump to conclusions in trying to understand. Even I once thought some things weren't real until I experienced them for myself. As long as there is reason, even if it isn't science.

[unknowable]

It would be pretty useful.

[He smiles at the thought. Sadly, his abilities are far less flashy.]

That's a good way to look at it. Especially coming here, it's like - you suddenly see all these things that would never happen or exist where you're from. I think that's true for everybody.

[hot_mes]

Like a never-ending supply of alcohol, apparently. [as he looks into his cup] They really are trying, aren't they?

[unknowable]

They do this every once in awhile. Parties and things that aren't so bad. It's weird.

[But a nice reprieve, at least.]

I should, uh... let you get back to it.

[You know, standing in a corner not talking to people.]

[hot_mes]

Yeah. [all things considered, though, this wasn't the worst thing to happen at a party. Pretty nice, actually. Learned some things.]

...Trafalgar Law. [with the manly head-tip that says hey, we didn't introduce each other but I don't shake hands]

[unknowable]

Adam Parrish.

[He would hold out a hand to shake, but he's still juggling a plate of food, so at least for the moment he gets to appear cool and manly.]

I'm sure we'll see each other around.

[hot_mes]

Yeah. No doubt.

[Law's features are light, close enough to a smile to be enough, as he gets up and goes to refill his mug.]
