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 immediately breaks eye contact, looking down at the floor with a frown. This isn't-- ugh. This isn't how it was supposed to go. But if this guy's gonna give him money...]

You're so weird. How do you stay rich if you just give money away? Stuff costs things. Like, a lot of things.

[Things he's never had, not since he got turned out by his family, with only his sister to rely on.]

[personal profile] anoshe 2018-05-11 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Taxes, I guess.

[He's a bit too young to have learned the details about the economics of ruling a kingdom.]

But we give stuff away to people all the time. Like food and stuff. The Church does too.
pocketspa: (« [Kid] little shit)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-05-13 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He crosses his arms, continuing to look any direction but Rhy. He feels stupid. Like a fool. Like-- like Rhy's taking pity on him. He hates it. He hates that he's lost all feelings of control.]

The church makes you do stuff. Or they try to give you away or seperate you.

[The twins tried that once. Exactly once.]

It's stupid, anyway. I can get what I want. I coulda just taken it from you anyway.

[personal profile] anoshe 2018-05-16 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but then you'd be in trouble. Even I know it's not a good idea to steal the prince's crown.

[Like, what was your plan there? How do you pawn something so recognizable?]

This way's a lot more safer. For both of us!
pocketspa: (« [Kid] don't patronize me!)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-05-20 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He's making it up as he goes, okay! He would have figured something out.]

Well I didn't think you were just gonna give me somethin'.

[Ugh, now he just wants to get out of here.]

So go ahead! Give it.
anoshe: (Default)

[personal profile] anoshe 2018-05-24 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, I don't really have anything with me.

[Princes never need to touch money if they don't want to!]

But once the guards find me, I'll get you plenty!
pocketspa: (« [Kid] distrust.jpg)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-05-27 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He purses his lips. No, that's not gonna do! Once the guards see him with him he's absolutely gonna get arrested. He's just gonna have to do one better.]

Mmmm, no, I have a better idea. How 'bout you just owe me a favor, okay? I'll find you.

[He'll wait until this kid gets picked up. Tail him home. Sneak inside, and then-- then he can make off with something truly extraordinary.]

I can't just wait around all day.
anoshe: (pic#11658944)

[personal profile] anoshe 2018-05-29 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well... I guess. That doesn't seem very fair to you, though.

[But if it's really what he wants, Rhy isn't going to try to force him to do something else. He'd be happier giving him some gold coins or something, instead of a favor when they might not meet again, but it's better than nothing.]

If you come to the palace and tell them you're my friend, they'll come find me for you! Maybe I could show you the gardens and stuff too.
pocketspa: (« [Kid] better than you)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-05-31 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Taako just kind of looks at him like he's an idiot.]

D'you really think they're just gonna do that? Some kid just walks up off the street like, yeah, I know the prince and they're just gonna let me in. Really.
anoshe: (pic#11658937)

[personal profile] anoshe 2018-06-02 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! I mean, they'll ask me to make sure, and Kell's gonna be mad about it, but if I say you're my friend they'll listen.

[It seems so simple to him.]

It'll be fun.
pocketspa: (« [Kid] nah i think ur a shit)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-06-05 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Why are rich people so weird. Taako can't imagine people just being so-- receptive about the whole thing. He might be nice, but what if the guards aren't?

He decides to split the middle.]


Don't you have like-- a symbol, or a patch or somethin' you could give to prove I'm tellin' the truth? Like a ring or-- anythin'.

[Then he still gets something today, and maybe more later, without needing to necessarily bank on his continued kindness.]
anoshe: (pic#11658947)

[personal profile] anoshe 2018-06-10 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Umm...

[He looks down at himself. He's dressed nicely, but he doesn't normally carry the royal seal or anything. Rhy is still at an age where any jewelry on him would immediately get lost or broken (well, right now, anyway).

He rummages through his pockets and eventually comes up with a crumpled handkerchief - luckily, unused. It's silk, and monogrammed, of course.]


What about this?
pocketspa: (« [Kid] confidence abound)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-06-13 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Not as fancy as he wanted, but it'll do. He nods.]

Yeah. Then they'll come get you when I show up. And I'll give it back.

[Or the guards will chase him off and he gets to keep this nice thing. It's a win win, though this is less of a win than the alternative.

He holds out his hand.]


Okay?
anoshe: (Default)

[personal profile] anoshe 2018-06-14 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay!

[He hands the handkerchief over with no hesitation. He's got tons of them back home, after all.]

And when you come to visit, I'll show you the gardens. And we can get something good to eat!
pocketspa: (« [Kid] ready to rumble)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-06-18 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes it, tucks it into his pocket quickly. He doesn't want Rhy to watch him feel it so carefully, the way he's never held something so soft. But Taako nods, giving him a bit of a smile.]

Alright. You better promise.

[He pulls himself up, looking back out to the city.]

You'll find your people. And when you do, I'll see you again.
anoshe: (Default)

[personal profile] anoshe 2018-06-21 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
I promise.

[He grins back, open and easy, like he has no doubt that they're friends now.]

See you soon!
pocketspa: (« [Kid] yeah uh nope)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-06-24 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Is this how you make friends?? Kidnapping?? Taako knows as well as Rhy does.]

You better!

[He sticks out his tongue, and then runs out and off with his prize.]
