Event Log: The Hope of a Child

[hadrielmods]

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...

She absently takes a bite out of the bread, more comfortable eating it after the first one didn't do anything odd to her. "Can they put them back?

...I don't like it here. There's too much sky. It's like it'll swallow me up."

[fadeling]

"I don't know yet." Maybe. But also maybe not. It sort of depends on more things than he can keep track of. Or maybe they're just stuck here.

"It doesn't eat people."

[paragonbrosca]

"Then how come everyone says it does?" She glances up at it warily, still uncertain. "How do I get back to Orzammar? I gotta find Rica." Rica will make sense of this, or at least be the one loving influence she's ever had in her life.

[fadeling]

"I don't know. It doesn't." At least not that he's seen. Maybe it only does sometimes and he never noticed.

"I don't know. It's gone like the rest."

[paragonbrosca]

She lowers the bread, her eyes welling up with tears, which she angrily ignores.

"But I have to get her! Orzammar is shit and it can fall into the lava for all I care, but Rica's there! I need her to come be here, so we can be together!"

[fadeling]

"I don't know where they went." He wishes he did, but there isn't anything he can do to fix that. It hurts to hear and he can't even help it.

[paragonbrosca]

She mutters to herself, suddenly viciously wiping at those tears. Go away, feelings.

"Then I'll find out a way to get there myself! I'm good at getting into places no one else can get to, you'll see."

[fadeling]

"Maybe. I don't know if you are." She probably is, he doesn't doubt that. "They stole it, hidden in hiding and handed, hardened, to the hopeless. I don't know where to look."
