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.

[ He lets her turn his head as she wishes, maybe a little contrite about his stubborn refusal to listen to her. So much for his good looks keeping people from realizing that one of the dead was among them. ]

Drake might be able to... help.

[ Who better to help than the dead guy who can actually pass for living with hardly any worry?

R avoids looking at her for a moment and then, quietly... ]

...Sorry.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Ugh, you're so dumb... It's a good thing you're cute.

[She mutters while she looks at him, frowning at the scrapes on his skin. If his heart was beating, they'd be bleeding, which might be a good thing because they're never going to heal like this.]

I'll clean them up, and we'll just... have to see how they look, okay?

[God, so dumb.]

What were you thinking, I told you I was okay.

[romeoeatsbrains]

[ He shrugs, completely on purpose. R knows it's a noncommittal gesture, knows it might distract her from the wreckage of his body. He's a disaster zone, ravaged by weather with no way to really recover. ]

Wasn't... thinking. I was worried.

[ And as strange as it feels, R's face shifts into a faint smile as he looks at her sidelong. Not quite coy but it's miles more expressive than he was back when they first met. ]

...You think I'm cute?

[redwinekindofgirl]

[Uuuuuuuugh.]

That's what you got out of that? It's really not important right now, R.

[But she squints a little at his expression, regardless. What are you making that face for, zombie-boy? She shoves gently at his shoulder, fighting a smile while she shakes her head.]

You're such a dumbass.
