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...

Most of them do. Nearly everyone fights, where I'm from.

[Ephemera exhales slowly, then shakes his head.]

No. She died.

[roseofthetyrells]

That must be a terrible trial. Grandmother told me stories of Robert's Rebellion, tens of thousands dying in a single battle. But for now, we're at peace.

[she blinks rapidly to avoid tears and reaches out hesitantly to touch his hand]

I'm very sorry to hear that, Ephemera.

[requiemshark]

[Ephemera almost mentions the planet killers in commiseration, but stops himself. No need for that. Instead he gives Margaery a small smile. She's a sharp kid. But kind, too, in her own way.]

Thanks. Enjoy that peace, yeah?

[roseofthetyrells]

[she's sharp and she's kind and none of it will be enough to save her in the end]

I hope to? When I'm queen, I'll make the people love me. That should help keep the peace.

[requiemshark]

It'll help, [Ephemera agrees. He loved his captain and he would have followed CT anywhere.] Keep practicing with that knife, yeah? You'll get quick with it.

[roseofthetyrells]

I hope to! Thank you for all of your help, Ephemera. [she hesitates a moment, then gives him a quick hug]

[requiemshark]

[The hug is unexpected. Ephemera blinks down at her, then - a little awkwardly - pats her on the shoulder.] Oh. You're welcome.

[roseofthetyrells]

[congratulations, you have acquired a Margaery. she'll remember this even after she wakes up.

she gives the hug a tight squeeze he likely doesn't feel through his armor, lets go, and smiles brightly at him]

I can never repay you for all of your help, but should you ever be in need of aid, I will always be in your debt.
