Event Log: The Hope of a Child

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...

Grim Reapers?

[He's heard of reapers, but he's never seen one. He's not sure if they're real or not. A lot of things are on the fence like that, like gods and whatever.]

And how do you not have wizards? Can people not learn magic, they have to be born with it?

[It does not even occur to him that her world might not have magic.]
toiletseat_girl: (do you know where my spark is?)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-11 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Those who break the bond between body and soul and see the souls of the newly dead to the afterlife, blah, blah, blah.

[well, George went from atheist to agnostic after becoming a Reaper?]

Nobody has any magic. Of any kind. Other than parlor tricks to fleece the tourists.

[George's world, for the most part, is remarkably mundane]
nowherewolf: <user name=lingonberries site=insanejournal.com> (lemme get this straight)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-02-12 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Nobody as in... humans?

[That's a stretch but he guesses it's possible. Humans have a harder time with magic than other races. Or wait, maybe it's just illegal? Like it was back in the 1800s or whatever.]

How do you guys get anything done without magic?
toiletseat_girl: (there's a time to keep it up)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-12 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course humans. Humans are all we've got.

[mundane, mundane, mundane. in George's world, most people get up, go to work, go home, sleep, and repeat the next day with no inkling that supernatural beings are among them]

With elbow grease and a lot of swearing.
nowherewolf: (can u not)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-02-15 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Just humans? No magic or other races at all? This is insane. She's gotta be fucking with him.]

That doesn't even make any sense. You're joking, right?

[Where he's from, elves and dragons and magic, it's not even supernatural. It's just fact, taken for granted. It'd be like a world without water.]
toiletseat_girl: (so very very harmless!)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-15 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[she is not, in fact, fucking with him. Grim Reapers are as supernatural as her world gets]

It makes total sense 'cause my world is fucking boring.

[and where she's from, those things only exist in movies]
nowherewolf: (pls)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-02-18 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Boring?

[Boring seems like an understatement.]

Your world is deprived. I can't even imagine that. [Obviously.]

Does that mean you're happy you got kidnapped to this one?
toiletseat_girl: (is that all there is?)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-18 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[she shrugs]

Yeah, kinda figured.

[she takes a moment to consider his question. she's never had to put this into words before]

Yes and no. Am I happy that I'm probably never gonna see my family again? Fuck no. But am I happy that I don't have to deal with all that Grim Reaper shit while I'm here? Hell yes.
nowherewolf: <lj user=swansong> (:I)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-02-19 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Tucker... assumes it would suck to lose your family. He can't really relate.]

Sorry, I guess. Does one outweigh the other? And wait, why do you have to deal with the grim reapers? Are they like, everywhere?
toiletseat_girl: (do you know where my spark is?)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-19 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[well, let her be your authority on the matter. it sucks. even though it's not like they actually got along while George was alive]

Mmmm, no. They kinda balance each other out. And Grim Reapers are around in my world, but I'm the only one here.
nowherewolf: (:O)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-02-20 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Hold the goddamn phone.]

Wait... you're a grim reaper?

[Just because she said they were a thing in her world didn't mean she was one. He's not sure if he should be scared or not.]
toiletseat_girl: (it's not murder it's an act of faith)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-21 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Yeah? I guess I forgot to mention that part.

[she's totally harmless here as death is impermanent. she's harmless most of the time in her world, too, unless she has your name on a post-it]
nowherewolf: (did i leave the stove on)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-02-22 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Adult him would be probably a lot more afraid. In fact, adult-him was pretty put off by it. But this is younger Tucker, and he honestly thinks that's... kind of cool...]

So... if you touch people, do they die?
toiletseat_girl: (getting used to thinking of you as a)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-23 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[there is nothing cool about being a Grim Reaper. it's a 24/7 job with no pay]

Not. . . exactly? I mean, what I do is break the bond between body and soul so that when they die, they can leave their body and go on to the afterlife.
nowherewolf: <lj user=swansong> (will)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-02-26 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
So you touch people and they turn into ghosts? But only if they're dead.

[That's what he got out of it, anyway.]
toiletseat_girl: (I like you 'cause  you amuse me)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-26 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, not ghosts. Just disembodied souls. And that part doesn't happen until their fleshy parts bite the dust.

[Grim Reaping 101]
nowherewolf: (i'm considering it)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-02-27 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
So people die and you just like, pull them out of their dead corpse body?

[Can he find some more synonyms for body?]

That's a lot more boring than I thought it'd be.
toiletseat_girl: (asked for a simple thing)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-02-28 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Not exactly. They pop out of their bodies on their own as long as you severed the bond first. If you don't, they stay stuck in their bodies, aware of all of the crazy shit happening to 'em.

[sure he can, if he has a thesaurus handy]

Ehhh, boring isn't really the right word for it. Annoying? Messy? Weird? Those are better ones.
nowherewolf: <lj user=swansong> (SQUINTS REAL HARD)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-03-02 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
So wait, they get stuck in there? While people like, chop 'em up and bury 'em and stuff? Gross.

[But also: he's 13, so gross is cool.]
toiletseat_girl: (do you know where my spark is?)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-03-02 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Potentially, yes. If the Reaper fucks up and doesn't find their target. I know--someone who missed their Reap and the person got to see their own autopsy.

[that someone would be George]
nowherewolf: (pls)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-03-03 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, nasty.

[He might not be as crude if he knew it was her.]

Did they feel it?
toiletseat_girl: (before her Joyce would unravel)

[personal profile] toiletseat_girl 2018-03-04 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[she shrugs, trying to seem nonchalant]

Yeah, I'd assume so? Guy seemed pretty fucking traumatized by the time we got to 'im.
