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 put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

Yeah, it's pretty communist around here. Everyone just takes what they need.
[... Or what they want. Whatever.
When Harlan answers the second part, Michael has to struggle to keep his expression neutral. He can guess why Harlan wouldn't want to go home. He should've known better than to ask, really. Of course his mom would be controlling about who he talks to. Of course.
He can feel the too-familiar anger rising in his chest again, and he has to stop for a second to remind himself that he absolutely cannot lose his shit right now. He's dealing with a child, even if this isn't necessarily a real one, and the person he's actually mad at isn't here. Dial it back a notch.]
Well, I'm not going to make you go home, and I don't think anyone else here will, either.
[There's a lot more he wants to tell him, but he doesn't. It would probably just freak him out, or make him upset, and there's no need for that.]
no subject
What's communist? [Sounds kind of cool if that's the word for the setup they have going on here. He wishes home was communist too. Then he wouldn't have to ask Mom to buy him stuff. He could just go get it.
He is very relieved when Michael tells him he won't be taking him home. But that's also a weird thing for an adult to say.]
Why not?
no subject
Communists are people who think everyone should share all the money and food and stuff. It all goes into a big pool and each person just gets what they need out of it, whenever they need it.
[At least that's how it's supposed to go, on paper. He thinks. Listen he only took one class on this shit in college. He was pre-med, not a sociology major.]
It's complicated.
[As is the answer to Harlan's next question. Not wanting to take him back to his mom definitely sounds like something a kidnapper would do. Hmm.]
Mostly because the people here don't really care what you get up to, as long as it's not too dangerous. Myself included.
no subject
That's stupid.
[He says definitively. Having to share his candy with everyone in town is right out.
That second thing, though. His eyes widen.]
Really? I can just do whatever I want? [That would've been good to know, like, hours ago. He could've saved himself a lot of trouble trying to sneak around all day.
But, hmmm... What does he want to get up to if he can just do anything? He ponders this for a moment.]
You got any arcades around here? I'm almost tall enough to reach the good stuff. [read: all the stuff, but look he'll stand on a chair or something. NO RULES!!!]
no subject
You can do anything you want, but within reason. You can't just punch people or anything. But you can take what you want from the stores, for example. And unless a door is locked, you're probably allowed inside.
[He sure hopes everyone keeps their apartment doors locked.]
We do have an arcade, too. [An arcade that's located in the same building as a bar and a casino. After he just told Harlan he can essentially do whatever. Fantastic. He's just gonna have to hope that little HH is more interested in Dig-Dug than beer and poker.]
I'm sure we can find you a stool or something.
[Michael redirects them toward the speakeasy.]
me, a fool: hadriel doesnt have an arcade lmao gl mnm
Oh man, it's been forever since I got to go to an arcade. What games are there? Do you got Zaxxon? Or Moon Patrol? Or Castlevania? I haven't got to play it yet 'cause it's new.
[He's not sure where Michael is taking him, but he's not taking him quickly enough!! He charges ahead, yanking at Michael's hand in the process. hURRY UP, YOU ADULT WITH YOUR LONG LEGS.
He doesn't let go of Michael's hand, though. David is now soulbound to Michael.]
Are they free too like all the stuff in the stores? I think I maybe got a quarter...
[He's fishing in his pockets now, but mostly is tugging Michael along, his backpack bouncing all over the place.]
binch u thought
Uh, I'm not sure what games they have. I don't think I caught the titles. They might be all new ones, though, since this place doesn't tend to have stuff that people recognize.
[He guesses if all else fails he can show him the pong and pac man apps on the phone. Which he himself has definitely not wasted countless hours on, no sir.]
They're free though, yeah. No quarters needed.
[God, okay, he's just going to take a moment and appreciate that this is fucking adorable. Harlan is so excited about this arcade situation, more than he was about having a backpack full of candy or throwing rocks at strangers. Speaking of which, this enthusiasm is promising that he'll drop that idea entirely. Thank you, gods. Or whoever.]
no subject
I hope they got Zaxxon at least. That's my favorite. New stuff is good too but I bet I can beat the high score if they got Zaxxon.
[More wishful thinking. He's been trying to get on the high score table for Zaxxon back home for forever, but some jerk named DIK keeps shutting him out.]
Wow, really? [He is momentarily stunned in overjoyed disbelief but then he starts right up again. Gotta go fast!!] This place is awesome. Do you get to live here all the time? You should let me come home with you so I can live here too. Just tell my mom some stranger put me in a van 'cause I wanted to pet his dog. People do that sometimes, you know. I heard about it.
no subject
You can probably get the high score on any of them, honestly. I don't know that the people around here are really a "gamer" crowd.
[Half of them don't even know what a lightbulb is, so.]
And uh, sure. You can come home with me after.
no subject
Really? Awesome! Hey, what's your name, anyway? I'm David.
no subject
Uh, Michael. Nice to meet you, David.
[Because this is the first time he's met him, kind of.]
no subject
Michael. Okay, I'll call you that. Most adults say I gotta call 'em something like Mr. Whatever. You're not really good at being an adult, huh?
[Nice to meet you too.
Buuut he doesn't seem to care that much, since he's tugging Michael off toward the arcade again. Probably? He's not sure where it is, but this is the direction they were going in before. He trusts Michael to lead them to the arcade eventually.]
