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...

High school is school for big kids. Teenagers. [She pauses.] That's got to suck. How much work can they do when they're like eighty or ninety? She shrugs. Their moms and teachers do that, I guess. In my family, my dad does most of the preparing me. But he's special. [In her eyes, her father is unique.] It's a fridge with a freezer on top, or on the side, or on the bottom.

First, you got to squat down and put your hands on the ground, like this. [She demonstrates.] Do you mind getting your dress dirty? Do you have pants?

They are from home. Dad doesn't like that people call priests father. He doesn't even like them calling God father. And he says religions put God over family. Nothing's supposed to come before family.

Oh. We've nothing like that in Westeros. We're tutored by our maesters for as long as our parents see fit. [she looks confused] Eighty or ninety? Nobody lives that long! My grandmother is seeing to me, but my grandmother is terribly clever. [she knows that her grandmother is the true power behind House Tyrell] I've never heard of any of those things.

I have servants who can wash it. [she mirrors Abigail's actions]

Grandmother says that, too, that family is the most important thing. She says that before I make any decision, I have to ask myself if it will benefit House Tyrell.

No school? Do you get to stay home all day or do you gotta go to where the Maesters live? Are they like teachers? Can they give you detention? [She nods.] Yeah, they do live that long when they have running water and freezers and get to retire. I don't know my grandmothers, don't know if I even have any. Jessica from my class has grandparents, great-grandparents and even a great-great-grandmother! She brought a picture of all of them to show and tell. [She pauses.] They're simple - A fridge keeps food cold and a freezer freezes it.

Pants make it easier, but I think you can do it in a dress. Okay, now tuck your head in, so your chin touches your chest.

Maybe your grandmother and my dad could be friends when they find us. My dad doesn't have a lot of friends.
