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...

I suppose that would make sense. But if this were another world, Kell would definitely be here.

[He sounds hesitant as he looks up at the sky, confirming the presence of two suns.]

But - ah, it's a pleasure to meet you, as well. I apologize for my rudeness.

[roseofthetyrells]

Really? Are other worlds an interest of his?

[she tries to sound respectful, but interested in what he's saying]

There's no need to apologize, Your Grace. This is a far away land, so we're all a little off balance.

[anoshe]

He can travel to them. Nobody else can, except another antari. So he should be here, and I shouldn't.

[Which seems to worry him more than anything else.]

[roseofthetyrells]

Your brother can travel to different worlds at whim? That must be amazing! [and she shakes her head] I don't know why you're here. I don't know why I'm here, either.

[anoshe]

It is! He's incredible. [He smiles at the thought, clearly very fond of his brother.] Maybe he'll come find us. He can take us both home.

[roseofthetyrells]

He sounds like it! [she smiles back in response] I hope so! This place is nice enough, but I'd rather be home at Highgarden.

[anoshe]

Highgarden? That's a pretty name. [Focusing on the important stuff!] Are people nice there?

[roseofthetyrells]

It's a pretty name for a beautiful place. We have hedge mazes, orchards, and fields of golden roses. [she considers] Well, they're actually yellow, but our House sigil is a golden rose like this. [she pulls a fine gold chain out from her dress to show off the charm]

Mother and father are both very nice. My grandmother is nice to me because she says that I'm very clever. Grandmother is only nice to clever people.

[anoshe]

How lovely! It sounds like a very nice place to live. I do enjoy gardens. I wonder how far it is from Arnes? Since it's not near here either, is it?

[He's still not totally clear on where he is, but... it's probably fine.]

[roseofthetyrells]

It's the most beautiful in all of Westeros. None of the other Seven Kingdoms can compare. And I think it's far away from here. To be honest, I've no idea how to get back.

[anoshe]

I don't know how to get home either. I guess we're truly lost.

[He looks around, as if he might get some clue.]

I was always told that if I'm lost, I should stay in one place until the guards are able to find me.
