Event Log: Dust to Dust

[hadrielmods]

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.

Shelter

[paragonbrosca]

[Aren's relaxing at the speakeasy -she doesn't have much choice, right now- when the door bursts open. Barkspawn, dozing, immediately perks up and barks, heading over to the walking sandpile that is Kain. Slipping off her stool, the dwarf woman looks him over.]

Yeah, that's more or less what I thought would happen. Stay put and stomp some of that off. If you trail sand everywhere in here, the owners are going to be pissed.

[dragonsgrasp]

[Sand continues to fall off of him, and then the more he stomps and shakes, the more of it gets dislodged. His armor has so many little areas where it's collected, too. He gives a long, lingering sigh as he continues with this effort.]

This may take a while... It's gotten pretty terrible out there. [He spits a bit more out, making a face.] So did you get lucky and find your way in here before it started?

[paragonbrosca]

[She nods and tries to brush off some of that sand, as Barkspawn sniffs at the sand trailing to the ground.]

Yeah, I was working here and almost off my shift. Now I'm stuck here until it's all over. At least we're trapped where there's drinks.

[dragonsgrasp]

[Kain finally takes off his helmet. Sure enough, he's got plenty of sand to get off of that as well. It did protect most of the top of his head, at least, but his long hair is pretty sand-filled, as he works to try and shake that out next.]

Well, even if I don't enjoy the thought of being trapped... there are surely worse places to be trapped. I think a drink or several may be needed about now...

[paragonbrosca]

[Barkspawn watches Kain's sandfall with fascination, pawing at it.]

Good, join me. I'm not working as a bouncer right now, so we can do whatever as long as we pay for our drinks and don't wreck shit.

[dragonsgrasp]

There's plenty more where that came from.

[Kain address Barkspawn with that, before he returns his attention to Aren and nods.]

It sounds like they give you a pretty good deal... I like that sound of that. [He grips his head for a moment, then makes his way toward the bar, needing to take a seat.] It was getting pretty intense out there...
