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!

[He doesn't know how special those words are, but they please Kravitz all the same. Better to be on her good side. And besides, it's just nice to hear.]

Alright, yes.

[He takes the suggestion literally, walking over the drinks table and picking up the most potent looking thing he can find, before heading back over and offering it to Lup with a flourish.]

My utmost apologies.

[There. He's held up his side of the deal, Lup.]

[restinglichface]

[Booze and an apology? Lup is living.

She takes the offered beverage with a grin that only speaks trouble for her dearest brother, before she's shifting closer to the reaper's side. This is for Kravitz and him alone. As much as she loves to publicly tease her brother, there are some humiliating stories that are for family (and new boyfriends) only.]

You know how he talks big fucking game over his transmutation skills, but the first time he turned himself into something with wings, he flung himself straight into a tree. He still gets sulky when I imitate it.

[knockthemdead]

[He leans in and sips at his own drink like the catty gossip he has secretly been all along, his mouth curving up into a grin. Fuck. This is great.]

I don't suppose there's any chance of seeing that imitation?

[restinglichface]

I suppose I could give you a quick preview. Since you were nice enough to give me a drink an' all.

[Lup very purposely pauses, scanning the crowd of party-goers for her brother. Given their finely tuned twin!sense, it doesn't take long at all, and the moment she does, she meets Taako's eyes and shoots him a quick wave. Just to make sure he's watching.

Then she quickly throws her hands up and pulls the ridiculously exaggerated face ever, letting loose a too-loud mix of a high-pitched shriek and a pained gurgle, just piercing enough to be heard well above the thumping music of the party.]

[knockthemdead]

[Kravitz laughing this loudly is a rare sight, especially when Taako isn't the one he's talking to. He wisely holds his drink far away from himself, shoulders shaking as he tries to look somewhat apologetic. Sorry, Taako. Kinda.]

Of all deals I've made in my lifetime, this is the most satisfying outcome, bar none.

[restinglichface]

[Lup falls into laughter with him, looking far too pleased with herself as her brother shrieks in the background.]

That's pretty much the ol' Lup brand. You ever want more embarrassing Taako stories, you know who to hit up.

[knockthemdead]

I feel like that is a potentially very dangerous road to go down...

[He considers this briefly, head tilted, then grins at her.]

But I shall keep it in mind. Thank you.

[restinglichface]

[Time for Lup to make an exit before Taako tackles her straight into the refreshment table. She gives a little wave before stepping away.]

Hit me up anytime, Krav. [she pauses for one last message:] Also, I'm so gettin' a dance outta you next time! And don't you forget it!

[knockthemdead]

[He waves her off, grinning widely. It... it feels really nice to hear all that, even if the prospect of a dance with Lup is The Most Nerve Wracking.]
