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...

Yeah, I'd rather be climbing a mountain.

I'm Abigail.

[She hopes that's okay. Her dad can't be too upset for using a first name only, even if it's with a stranger.]

I've never gone mountain climbing, although I went caving in college.

[That had been a fun experience. And at her name he knows who she is immediately, placing her features suddenly as the resemblance suddenly becomes clear.]

Nice to meet you, Abigail, although I wish the circumstances were better. My name is Lance.

My family talks about climbing Eagle Mountain someday. I've never thought about spelunking. I don't know if my dad would like it. He might find it claustrophobic. He likes the outdoors, but big places like the forest.

[And everything in her life comes down to his approval, even if she's old enough to try new things alone.]

Nice to meet you too, Lance.

[lifetothefullest]

[He definitely notices that, and so asks gently--]

What about you? Are you claustrophobic, or do you think it might be fun?

[am_i_a_monster]

[Abigail shakes her head. She hasn't spent time hidden in a basement at this point in her life. There's no fear yet.]

Me, no, not claustrophobic at all. I guess it might be fun.

[Admitting that there can be fun without her dad feels wrong and she looks down.]
