hadriel_logs | Event Log: Field Trip Part 2

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the March portion of the Field Trip event
Where: All over the world
When: March 1st-March 31st
Warnings: None

Maybe you explored a bit last month, retrieved an orb or just got lost. Or maybe you were too busy stalking that person you love - no judgment. Well, maybe a little judgment. Whatever went down, it's a new month, and a new chance to explore this strange world you've ended up on. So climb on a motorcycle, grab a friend (and a lot of supplies), and get going! If you leave now, maybe you'll avoid the next awful thing that happens in the city.

Not that there aren't a few awful things that can happen out there, too. You could run out of food. You might lose that compass of yours and never find your way home. You could ride straight into a ditch and blow out all your tires. Or hey, maybe you'll get in a screaming fight with your traveling companions and get left behind. Whoops!

But everything could go great, too. You won't know until you try, and Love still really needs those orbs full of Hope energy. (Hope juice?) You've got a whole month this time, but the day will pass pretty fast under that hot sun. Good luck.

A: A Short Break, Early March
[ ...Thank the heavens she's found one crystal clear oasis of the desert, with what looks like a old watchtower crumbling just at the edge. Zelda takes this moment to simply rest and recuperate after her journey so far, filling her canteen with more water. But the exhaustion and weariness of travel lends to additional weaknesses, that of being not as aware as she might be when others are around. It's then that she might hear your character approaching out from some of the ruins nearby.

After the encounter with the Null, she's just a little bit more on edge than she would be, a little less patient. The canteen is clipped back to her belt, and her hand is raised once more, poised as if already holding a weapon although nothing is seemingly there. ]

--Show yourself.

B: Some Distant City, Waiting for the Orb to Charge Up, Mid-March
[ Presumably sometime after Zelda makes it to the ruins of yet another distant city, she makes her way up to one of the Temples with the orb in hand. She has a simple question to anyone who's joined her in this pursuit, and perhaps a reasonable one given how new she still is to this place: ] When we return to Hadriel with these restored orbs... do you believe it will truly be of use? Exactly how trustworthy is the deity who bestowed this mission?

[ And while what she says could easily be called blasphemous to the gods of this world, her tone is not accusatory; she simply is lacking knowledge regarding the them. How much they have proven themselves to be worthy of the residents' trust, how much they have already aided in helping them so far, how much should she stake in helping them in the future? She does not know these things, but she would like to. ]

C: The Return
[ Having a fully restored orb in hand is great, right? What's not so great is the fact that her bike totally breaks down just as she arrives in the city limits. Not wanting to abandon it completely (because she'd very much like to keep it to use later), she ends up having to push it along the streets and paths to her destination.

Should you offer help: ] Ah, it would be appreciated. [ There's a bit of a tired, but genuine smile. She's just glad to have made it back. With a breath she speaks lightly, ] This vehicle has lasted so long and endured much on this journey; I'm tempted to honor it with a name.

D: Wildcard [ Got something in mind and want to tag Zelda? I'm pretty much open to everything! If you want to plot something more, PM me or PP me at

drinksteapots!]

[Newt is very happy to be back from his own orb adventure. It was sort of fun? But, jeez, talk about roughing it. He's a little surprised when he spots Zelda pushing her bike through the streets, though.]

That's awfully nice of you. What kind of a name?

[He squats down to check out the tire area before helping her, though.] Any idea what's wrong with it?

[ She appreciates the help, which she acknowledges with a bit of a nod towards him. ] A name... oh, perhaps something grand and associated to what it's just accomplished. Desert-king? Desert-Tredder? [ She's joking of course, but still. It would make a nice memory to have named it appropriately. ] And as for what is wrong with it... I'm not quite certain. It started to smoke from the exhaust just as I got into the city, and now it's completely obsolete.
