hadriel_logs | 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...

( he's ready for it.
when he does finally emerge, in an equally "stylized" flourish in the water, a big splash of his own comes with it. he owes you, kid. )

「Atem watches him emerge and that has to be the most funny thing he's ever seen. He laughs, loud and clear as he still splashes his face.」

You're so silly! Do it again!

Hey, you first. ( he takes the splash with grace, chuckling a little bit and... actually enjoying himself. it had been some time since akira had just let his hair down like this... )

Go on, show me what you've got!

「He doesn't need to tell him twice, there goes the child, swimming back to the edge, and once out, he tries to mimic Akira. But you know what, that's very difficult and he just kind of jumps into the water splashing everything around again, yeah.

Oh, but it's not over, when he emerges, he makes a very characteristic pose... his hands together over his head, and his head moving side to side, you know, very... Egyptian and all.」

Tada!

Oooooh. ( there's an applause at the flair, he definitely approves the use of original moves. )

7.5, I'd say. Extra points for creativity.

「He laughs, but oh dear, how dare!」

Hey...! That deserved at least a ten!

( there's a bobbing of his head. ) The take off could use some work, don't you think? There's always things we can improve upon.

( here's a thumbs up from a nerd. oniisama akira is here for this brotherly advice. )

Some work...?

「He looks back as if he were seeing himself do the whole thing again. Then he nods to himself.」

You're right, will you teach me?

( treading water, akira sinks just a little below the surface as atem looks back to the shore... and with the reply that comes with it— he can feel it. the familiar tingle of something in his chest. an otherwordly voice in the back of his mind...

I am thou, thou art I... Thou hast acquired a new vow.
It shall become the wings of rebellion that breaketh thy chains of captivity.
With the birth of the Sun Persona, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power...

he seemed to be... momentarily spaced out...
but after a moment blinks himself back to reality, and flashes atem a grin.

so, forming bonds with others was possible in this world too...?
he seems... happy. bright. ) Yeah. Let's do it.

「Atem is about to send more water to his face when he comes back from wherever he went.」

You okay? And what's your name! You know mine, but I don't know yours.

「It is not really too suspicious that he knows his, being the prince, it's almost expected, except for the fact that most people call him prince and not Atem.」

It's Akira but— ( he flashes a winning grin, one that's in true protag spirit. )

You can just call me big bro.

「Atem laughs. Akira is so much fun!」

I'm not going to call you that!

「LOL. Who is the protagonist now?」

Ah, you won't? ( he's feigning disappointment. )

And here I thought it sounded cool.

It sounds silly. 「It's true! But take it with a grain of salt, he's all smiles right now.」

But, I don't want you to be sad. I mean if you want me to call you a silly name, I will.

「Grin, grin, grin ✨」

( ah, victory. that grin, grin, grin ✨ is returned in full force, accompanied by a thumbs up, too. maybe it is silly, but... that was one of the things that made life worth living, right?

that, and the friendships forged with others... )

Now that that's settled, why don't we work on that take-off?
