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!

Buried well under Glacius' arm, Carlisle catches his own breath in the sea of furs, his skin tingling as every hair on them presses against him. One hand curls beside him, stinging from the remnants of fervent energy that still run through his limbs; the other hand rests upon Glacius' chest, as though Carlisle fears that the circuit of energy coursing between them would break should he relinquish the contact for even a moment. He's without words for several as it is, the only sound between them their labored breaths and the ambient noise of the cave beyond the shed's walls.

Carlisle draws himself closer, pressing his head against the side of his partner, murmuring words that seem to come so easily for others. He's said them before, but after such a moment of intimacy between them, one preceded by a period where he thought he might have lost his partner forever, he feels the gravity of such a phrase like never before.

"I love you, Glacius."

Though never a man for saying only a few words when he could fit in so many more, he leaves it at that, closing his eyes to rest, basking in the relief that Glacius will be there when he opens them again. It's something he took for granted; he should cherish it while he can.

Though Glacius is still happily coasting along on the placid sea of endorphins permeating his body, that sentiment--so simple, and yet so powerful--captures his attention more clearly. Those few but striking words would be uplifting enough on their own, but with the link between them active, he can feel it for himself. He can feel his partner's love, and the peace and hope that he gets

And for a creature who has sometimes wondered just how much he can mean to beings so different from himself, and has at times struggled to define his place among them, that is no small thing for Glacius. It makes him feel love and peace and hope, too. He curls his arm around Carlisle a little bit more tightly, carefully allowing some of his icy shell to retract to allow his partner closer--and to give him a more comfortable place to rest, as resting is what he seems inclined to do right now. The alien doesn't mind; it means he did his job right. He just settles back against the bedding and gives a smitten little sigh.

"I love you too, Carlisle. Now, rest... it is my turn to watch over you now, and I shall be right by your side when you awaken."
