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...

Ohmygosh, well, I d-don't know about going that far...

[Could you get arrested for taking things out of the trash?? She was mostly concerned like, this belonged to someone.

Crap, now she has to ask.]

Is it illegal to take stuff from the trash up here??

[nowherewolf]

[He shrugs.]

I dunno, but people get mad at you for it anyway. Maybe it counts as trespassing or something? Never stuck around long enough to ask.

[Shrug number 2. His signature move.]

Don't worry though, if you're with me, nobody's gonna catch you.

[Trust this preteen boy, Alphys, he can definitely evade the police.]

[sciencelizard]

[She can't help but blush a little bit, duck her head away. Oh, that's sweet. Good to know Alphys' ability to crush on people goes back pretty much this far.]

Well, uhm... t-thanks. I kind of, uhm, got through this one, but... there's a lot of places.

[It's her obviously very subtle way of asking him to hang out. So smooth.]

[nowherewolf]

[Luckily he's not a heartbreaker yet, so he will continue to play nice. He grins.]

Sure, why not. [She didn't ask, but he's treating it like a question anyway. The implication is pretty clear.] Let's go dumpster diving. You gotta share if you find a lot of cool stuff, though.

[sciencelizard]

[She smiles, unable to wipe the red off her face, but looks excited not to be alone.]

Okay! I p-promise. If we work together, I’m sure we can find some good stuff.

[She’s much too shy to take his hand, but she does point down the alley, towards another one of the spires.]

There’s a ton more stuff down that way! That we can, uhm, check out…
