hadriel_logs | Event Log: Dust to Dust

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Dust to Dust event
Where: All over the city!
When: January 14th-17th
Warnings: A big ol' mess.

It starts off small: the wind picks up, particles of sand and dirt and dust begin to fill the air. You might not even notice at first, not until you have to wipe the dust off your windows to see outside. After all, it's been a long time since Hadriel has experienced weather, and it's never experienced a weather event not caused by the gods before.

But the gods aren't in charge of the weather now, and even if they could prevent this dust storm, they have way too many other things to do. So it's up to you to deal with it, and as the wind rises and the dust storm moves into the city, there'll be plenty to deal with.

Once the storm is at its peak, it'll be almost impossible to see outside - and it won't be safe to go wandering, either. Entirely besides falling and hurting yourself, if you aren't wrapped up well enough the particles in the air will abrade your skin. Love that sandpaper feel! Oh, and breathing? Yeah, better make sure your nose and mouth are covered, or else they'll be full of sand, too. Hope you've got some goggles stashed away to protect your eyes. Luckily, it won't last too long - 'cause you'll have plenty of cleaning to do once the storm is over.

[Y'know, one might think that being a Nightbane blessed with a gift for making weather happen would also mean having a way to neutralize weather - like giant dusty windstorms - but no. No, that is unfortunately not a thing that rests inside Nick's wheelhouse of skills, Nightbane or otherwise.

This place sucks. Obvious complaints aside, the shops aren't getting restocked, and that's a problem. Not a problem that Nick can do anything about, really, outside of continue to turn up regularly and pick through whatever might be around.

Today ... was not a good day to try this. Nick stumbles through the shop door, coughing and half dust-blind.]

Son of a bitch.

[Well, at least the wind doesn't reach in here. She'll just wait it out. How long can a damn dust storm take?]

[George is sitting with her legs stretched out in a corner of one of the shops, idly playing with a Rubix Cube. she's wearing a tank top, jeans shorts, and sneakers. theoretically, she could go out into that storm and just heal any damage done to her by it--Reaper skills have to be good for something, right?--but, nah. too much effort.

she lifts her head when she hears the door open and the wind howling. oh, it's Nick. George likes Nick. thinks she's cute. not that she's going to say so, at least not yet]

Hey. You okay over there?

[no, this is a completely wind-free environment]
