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...

► This log covers January 23rd-Feb 1st.

Nope. 「Doesn't sound too hard to get...?」 Where do I get one?
am_i_a_monster: (Default)

[personal profile] am_i_a_monster 2018-03-13 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Abigail shrugs.]

Anywhere. My e-mail came with my phone. G-mail, hotmail, yahoo, any of those can get you a free-email.

[She pauses]

Oh, do they not let you use those? Block'em or something because you're royalty?
puzzlingly: (☥ 125.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-17 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes a lot of sense now.

I don't know? Maybe that's why! Because I've never heard of those.

It is ridiculous though, why would they not let him do something if he's the king!?

I will have to do something about that when I get home, don't worry.

[personal profile] am_i_a_monster 2018-03-18 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Never heard of them?

[Abigail stares at him in disbelief. As any teen of her generation, she thinks everyone would know them even if they weren't allowed to use them.]

What sites do you use? Twitter's getting popular. Do you send out royal tweets? Have Facebook, Myspace? Make youtube videos?

He's the biggest media disappointment there has ever been. At least in modern times he got that turned around.

All he can do, is blink at her with those big eyes of his.


I don't think we have anything like that...? How do they make books with your face?

That sounds absolutely terrifying, and don't get him started on his tube... The hell is that?

[Abigail laughs for a moment.]

You sound like an old man.

[She'd say he sounded like her grandparents, if she knew them. A pause.]

You're serious? They're websites.

[She thinks back to what's learned in school.]

Are they all banned? I thought that only happened in places like China and North Korea. Maybe Iran. Are you communist? I didn't think they had royalty.

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-21 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm starting to think we don't live in the same world at all.

He is mostly kidding but, could be!
am_i_a_monster: (Default)

[personal profile] am_i_a_monster 2018-03-21 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Abigail frowns, wondering if she's insulted him.]

It's got to feel like a different world, if you don't have the internet.

[She pauses, thinking maybe it isn't the government, but the technology.]

Do you have electricity?

[She's very confused. Could someone be a royal, dressed this fancy and not have, what is to her - the basics?]

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-22 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
There he goes, shaking his head side to side.

What's that?

Is it another website? Either way he seems just fine without having those things. What a crazy world it was.
am_i_a_monster: (Default)

[personal profile] am_i_a_monster 2018-03-22 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Electricity. You know, power.

[Abigail stares at him for a few moments, trying to understand what's going on.]

Are you joking with me?
puzzlingly: (☥ 116.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-22 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Power, like... godly power?

He does just the same.

I'm not.

You're so weird Abby, no offence.

Does it... matter?

Please don't stop being his friend for living in such backwater monarchy.
am_i_a_monster: (Default)

[personal profile] am_i_a_monster 2018-03-22 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
No, power. You know to keep the lights on, keep your appliances running, heat your house.

[She pauses. He wouldn't get Minnesota winters in his part of the world.]

Or air condition it.

[She blinks.]

Well, it has to matter to you. How can you do anything without it? It'd be like a black out all the time.

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-22 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that sounds terrifying. If there is something he's actually afraid of, is the dark. But most of her words are really confusing, so he goes for what he understands anyway.

We don't need to heat our houses, the Sun warms everything, and it's really hot outside already, like, all the time. If I get really, really hot I just go get a bath, or swim in The River. But, it's a little annoying at times, because I would have to reapply the khol and all the other stuff and that takes a lot of time... And sometimes it gets a little chilly during the night but, then you just use a cozy blanket. And when it's really dark out there we use candles and torches.

Can't you do anything without power?
am_i_a_monster: (Default)

[personal profile] am_i_a_monster 2018-03-23 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Abigail tries not to give him a look of complete pity.]

The khol? What's that? Sunscreen? I like to swim too, in the lakes or the community pool. But don't you ever want air conditioning if you live somewhere so hot? Or a nice dish of ice cream, straight out of the fridge? Electric blankets have got to be coziest, especially with a mug of hot chocolate to sip from. And flipping a light switch is easier than lighting a candle. Even a flashlight would be easier.

[She nods.]

Oh, yeah. My dad likes to take me camping. We hunt and hike, take nature photos, cook our meals over a fire, have s'mores for dessert and sleep in tents or under the stars with sleeping bags. We might go mountain climbing too, someday. But when camping's over, I just want to go home, back to normal life and a place to charge my phone.

[Because a phone is essential to her normal teenage life.]

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
That's actually kind of an accurate definition, for the times anyway. Protection (if only apparent) from the sun. It was also kind of pretty, he can't say he hates it. Atem runs a finger over his eyelid and a small black smear covers the tip of his finger, he shows it to her.

This is khol.

He gives little sigh, he really wishes he knew what she's talking about, it sounds very interesting, but he doesn't want to burden her with his million questions either. They'd probably never end. But he listens attentively anyway,

Do you think your dad would get mad if I visited you?

He asks after a little pause from his part. All he can think about is learning about all this stuff. But, let's face it, her dad sounds a little scary.
am_i_a_monster: (Default)

[personal profile] am_i_a_monster 2018-03-26 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Abigail looks at the black smudge and tries to figure it out. It's not like the sunscreen and bug repellent's she used to..]

Oh. So it's like eye shadow? Or eye black?

[Abigail's first thought is that her father would be beyond mad. He doesn't even let guys from her class visit when they've got a group project to work on. She could tell her dad that she can date girls too, but then he might not let her have any friends at all.]

[She doesn't want to scare Atem off.]


He's not really good with vistors. Maybe you could come in secret and we could hang out near my school?

[She pauses.]

I guess you can't do much in secret though. You must have paparazzi around you all the time.
puzzlingly: (☥ 38.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-26 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
More like a liner.

It's ridiculous the amount of knowledge he has about makeup... He could make Abigail look all pretty.

Oh but, that sounds like something he can do.


No! Wait, I can! I... 「He lowers his voice, but still looks excited about it.」 I've escaped from the palace a few times, visited the market wearing a cloak. No one recognized me, I think we can do that and we can hang out without anyone knowing.

Paparazzi sounds like a bother, and... he will not bother with that, they are probably some kind of bodyguards or something, which he did have around, most of the times.

Oh. My dad doesn't let me wear much make up. I get away with lip gloss sometimes. My friend, Marissa, gave me a set of four scented lip glosses last Christmas. There's a gingerbread one, a candy cane one, Christmas cookie one, and a cherry one, called have a cherry Christmas.

[She smiles.]

Like a modern day King Henry, huh? Don't you worry someone might see you? And take a video?..Oh, right. No electricity, so probably no phones. And no tourists either?

[Her smile fades as the reality, or what she thinks is the reality, sets in.]

Do you even have airports?
puzzlingly: (☥ 73.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-27 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Mine tastes a bit like honey. They use beeswax and other stuff.

Lip gloss sounds familiar! Probably not what they would call it, but it helps the lips from chapping, it's so hot there it happens all the time. He idly wonders what Christmas is, since it makes her smile.

No, if they see me... the worst that could happen is they taking me back to the palace. 「Not true, at all, but he still naively thinks all people are inherently good and wouldn't hurt him because of who he is. He's been mostly lucky.

Airports... I don't know.

He's a little afraid to ask at this point but he sees her smile fade and it worries him. It's one thing after the other.
am_i_a_monster: (Default)

[personal profile] am_i_a_monster 2018-03-27 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes sense. Honey's supposed to be moisturizing. There's some in my mom's chapstick. Smells nice too.

[It's nice memory to have while she's missing her mom.]

[That sounds familiar. If she left, her father would take her back home]


That's good, right? No embarrassing photos getting posted all over.

[It hasn't happened to her, mainly because her dad's strict rules don't allow her to do much to embarrass herself. She's seen it happen to other kids and can only imagine that it's worse for someone famous.]

How would you visit me, if you can't take a plane?
puzzlingly: (☥ 51.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2018-03-28 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Embarrassing photos sound embarrassing anyway, so better avoid that too. Ah, but there is so much he wished she could show him. Maybe, someday.

I don't know, but I will find a way. I promise.

Surely, he could do it. Somehow.
