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...

[Firo has nothing against kids--though there sure are a lot of them here lately--but he doesn't expect to run into one hanging outside the speakeasy. ...One who looks pretty familiar.

It's been long enough by now that Firo knows 1. that something is up and 2. all he can do is sigh and go along with it.

Despite the unfriendly terms of their last parting, Firo's tone isn't cruel but instead mildly curious:]

Yeah? And whose problem is that, kid?

[He's actually not opposed to helping, maybe. But, you know, teach a man to fish. The "kid" looks old enough that he should be well on his way to independence, in Firo's book.]

[puzzlingly]

「Well, that question leaves him speechless, for a moment anyway.」

Not mine. It's not my problem there is no food in here.

「He's tired of eating fish!」

[foundafamily]

[Well, that's not the response he was aiming for... Don't ask rhetorical questions if you don't want an answer, Firo.]

It'll be your problem when you starve. And nobody's gonna do anything about that but you.

[..And Firo. Just this once. He sighs and jerks his thumb at the speakeasy behind them.]

...But I can get you something, this time. We don't have much here so nobody's gonna go around sharing, understand?

[puzzlingly]

「Wow, why so rude!

Or maybe not! The little one seems to change that frown to a smile when it seems he's gonna get what he wants! Which is the norm for him... Huh.」

What you've got?!

[foundafamily]

...Were you listening to a thing I said?

[Is it too much to ask that someone be thankful for his wisdom?

He turns back to the speakeasy and props the door open, expecting the kid to follow. When they're in, he'll head for the bar, where there's a little stash beneath the counter.]

Not much. Just some crackers. If you want anything else, you'll have to hunt it yourself or steal it off of somebody, got it?

sorry about the wait!

[puzzlingly]

「Of course he was listening, but why worry about it right now? He follows all right.」

Okay! What are crackers?
