Event Log: The Hope of a Child

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the The Hope of a Child event
Where: All over the city!
When: January 23rd-Feb 1st
Warnings: Youths


By now, the gods have probably done enough weird crap to you while you're asleep for you to be a little suspicious- but it's not like you can just not sleep, especially when there are a few supernatural forces making your eyes droopy and your body feel heavy.

And now, when you fall asleep, you'll wake up somewhere else and you'll likely have quite a different temperament- you'll be younger, maybe a little more naive and innocent, and you won't exactly remember all the wild stuff that's happened to your adult self. Maybe now you'll be a little more trusting and emotional, hm? The gods could definitely use a little boost in power, and what better way to do it than to harness the power of overemotional kiddos!

Or maybe you aren't affected at all and find yourself surrounded by youths. What are you going to do when your best friend doesn't know how to cook for themselves? Or your bitter rival is throwing a temper tantrum because they broke their favorite toy? Nobody asked for this kind of responsibility, but think about what would happen if nobody was around to take care of these babies...

► This log covers January 23rd-Feb 1st.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you trip over a kid and die, please let us know here.

Maglor looks down and an eyebrow hikes up.

"You are a little too young to be thinking of such things, I think, even for one of Men!"

That is not the first time he's heard that. Seems that's what everyone thinks, and he can't quite decide if they're right or not. Right now, away from a certain boyfriends influence, the boy thinks this guy is probably right. But if Cal told him to jump off a bridge with him, he'd go. So much for self confidence and a sense of self.

"So I guess you're not going to give me any then, huh?" He had the sense to look down.

"No." Maglor says gently.

"If you're hungry, or thirsty, that I can help with. But I won't condone bad habits in a youngling."

He looked around a bit, trying to figure out what to do. Cal wasn't here. He'd have known what to do but he wasn't here and now he was on his own. And it was kind of terrifying.

"....I might be a little thirsty." If he thought those were bad habits, the boy was glad he didn't bring up the other stuff.

Maglor smiles and nods.

"This way then" He points. "See those pools? The water from those is safe to drink, but it can cause strange emotional side effects. The safest one is that one, there. That was Sorrow's pool and so far as anyone can tell, since Sorrow is no longer here, the water has no effect."

That went completely over the kids head.

"Someone named Sorrow had a pool? of water? It doesn't look like the types you can swim in." Still he went over and took a tentative drink. Nope, no chlorine, totally not a pool, what was he even talking about?

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-01-27 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I think you can, but seeing as how folks are drinking from it..."

Maglor shrugs. "I suspect a natural spring, somewhere beneath the temple, but it's best not to disturb the water too much, if we're going to be drinking it."

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-27 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, he was weird. But...whatever. He offered to feed him, even if he wouldn't give him cigarettes and wine. Who was he kidding, the wine here probably wasn't any good anyway. Even if they could find any.

"So whats the deal here? No one has any bottled water?"
bythewaves: (hm?)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-01-28 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Maglor shrugs.

"Only if you bring your own bottle! Outside of the city bounds is desert, so the closet water source are the pools here. Originally, there was a dam, and piped water - but that was damaged in the recent fighting, and the river water is fouled and unsafe to drink."

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-29 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, yeah, of course you can't drink the river water." Everyone knew that. Right? "That's why people treat the water." What horrible place was this that they didn't even know enough to treat the water? Or had something happened and the Wraeththu blew up the treatment plant? Had the fighting gotten too close?

The kid looked rather confused. And at the same time like you were a moron, Maglor.
bythewaves: (regard)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-01-29 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Treat it?" Maglor raises an eyebrow at him.

"And how would you do that? The damn is broken. It will be a while before we can get the water clean enough again."

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-30 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"I dun know. That's how they do it back home. I don't know how? Chemicals? I remember one of the water places got messed with and we couldn't use the water until they got it fixed. But they fixed it." Thats about as much info as you're going to get Maglor. He's twelve. Ask again when Seel wakes up.
bythewaves: (hm?)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-01-31 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Chemicals?" He blinks. "That does not sound terribly healthy either. I can sing the impurities from the water, I suppose, but I cannot do that for any great amount, and it is difficult, in a world not my own. Besides, the pools are clean enough."
dreamsallotted: (pic#)

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-01-31 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
He shrugged. What did he know about health? "People are sick everywhere. I don't think a little more chemical is going to do anything." Or maybe it would. He was twelve. what did he know about life.

"You can sing to the water? How does that even work? Like you sing happy birthday and...what? You can drink it?"
bythewaves: (will you look back)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-02-01 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
"If they are, there is no reason to make it worse."

Maglor points out, and chuckles.

"Not quite. Water and I have... an understanding. That's all."
dreamsallotted: (pic#)

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-02-01 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
He shrugged. He didn't care too much as long as someone gave him food, water and a place to sleep. Preferably bagel bites or something. He could really go for a pizza.....

"Wate rand you have an understanding? Like, what, you can talk to it?"
bythewaves: (wanderer by the sea)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-02-02 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Maglor hums.

"Not talk, as we are talking now, no. But a long time ago, I gave the Lord of the Waters something very precious to me. He has always been a particular friend to our folk, alone of all the Powers. Since that time, I find it easier to heed the song of the water, and easier to coax it to help me. Although I've not actually had to raise a wave in a long time, and might be out of practice, I suppose."
dreamsallotted: (pic#)

[personal profile] dreamsallotted 2018-02-03 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"The Lord of the Waters?" This was starting to sound like a book or something. "Do you think you could show me? Waves sound like fun." There wasn't a lot of fun to do here, he had to make his own.
bythewaves: (creation)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-02-04 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"I can try." Maglor eyes the pools thoughtfully. "These are not my waters though. They don't know me. And pools don't tend to do waves much. But... "

He considers thoughtfully and then brings out his harp and begins to play, a ripple of sound like sunlight on the water, calling, yearning, looking back into the deep waters of memory. To the harp, he adds his voice, singing in his own tongue of the memory of the sun's first rising, glorious and golden, unexpected and wildly welcome.

And the little pool answers with light.

Faint, at first, then brighter, and brighter, until the water blazes as if the twin suns overhead were setting into the waters.

"Woah." Okay that was something he had never seen before. At all. That was like right out of the movies. "How can you not have ever tried that before? If I could do that, I'd do it like every day."

That was so cool.
bythewaves: (weary)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-02-07 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Maglor, on the other hand, is pale, and he winces as he shakes out his hand.

"Mainly, because it's quite difficult, in this world."

He says tiredly.

Adult Seel would have agreed with you. Magic is difficult, especially if it's not exactly what your used too. The translation is hard. This human boy though? Was amazed. And a little sorry you looked so terrible

"Oh. You should probably go rest then. That was awesome."
bythewaves: (alone)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2018-02-08 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Maglor smiles at him.

"Thank you - I will be fine. I just cannot do that too often. Calling light is probably one of the first things we all learnt."
