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.

[ Alana looks back outside the window, squinting, trying to see the nearby buildings, but they're getting harder and harder to make out. ]

At least in the distance. Or something more gradual than whatever the hell this is.

Doesn't feel right...

Not that I'd know, though.

Yeah... I mean, I've only seen dust storms in pictures, or on television. [But she's sure that you see them coming. Unless you're right in the middle of them when they start, but then that doesn't make sense, because the buildings should be breaking up the wind... right?]

Do you think it's them? Trying to psych us out?

[ She pauses for just a couple of seconds, as the dust and wind and pebbles waft the glass. ]

Probably.

But why? What's the point?

[ A random show of power to keep people quiet? That's all that comes to mind right now. ]

No point for us, but it's for them, isn't it? They get all of us freaked out and scared, and one of them gets a good meal.

[Ugh, it sounds so gross when she puts it like that.]

Maybe that's what it's for.

[ Alana shares the same thought, twisting her nose at the expression.]

Ugh.

[ She turns around, tired of looking out at the sand. Frustrated. Weeks of nothing and now shes literally stuck inside, not even in the house she claimed for herself.

It's really irritating, feeling this helpless. She tries to drive the thought away by looking at the shelves behind the counter.

It doesn't help.]

Think there's enough in here for a few days. Maybe we can find something that can cover us if we have to go out thereand don't feel like getting exfoliated to death.

[Julie has had to hide before, but not usually from driving sand that's threatening to flay her skin off. She's content enough to stay here, for now, but that might change if days pass and she starts getting hungry - or worse, thirsty.]

Yeah, maybe. I mean... we don't have to worry about it right now.

[Coming from the kind of person who would just run out there if she thought she could save someone while doing it.]

What supplies do we have?
