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...

[Holy shit. Holy fucking shit. It's still not perfect--the words sound a little distant, echoing more than they should, and he's not able to hold a window open long enough for Harlan to respond--but it's much better than what he should be capable of.

What the fuck?]

Yeah, there you go. That's... Well, that's great. You're a quick learner.

[Eerily quick. And Harlan has one more test in mind to see just how quick. Maybe, anyway. If this works.]

Hey, there's one more thing I want you to try, okay? You don't even really have to do anything this time.

[It's true. For this test, it's all HH. He sets up a quick Alarm spell around himself, setting the dividing line about halfway between himself and Michael. He takes care to make sure the Alarm is very specific; if someone enters the barrier who isn't a sorcerer, the spell will trigger.]

Now put your hand here. [Harlan points to a spot closer to himself on the table.] Nothing will happen, but I'm trying something out to test just how magical you are.

[Michael grins, clearly pleased with himself. He's been told he's a quick learner before, but never for anything this cool. Being told he's good at magic makes all that school stuff seem so pedestrian.

And someone is talking to him with telepathy that's so crazy. This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to him and nobody's going to believe it. But that's okay, he probably wouldn't tell them anyway.

Maybe getting ahead of himself, he tries to respond using the spell- a very quiet "okay"- before confidently sliding his hand across the table. He's gotta be at least a little bit magic, right? Though honestly, any is better than none.]
