Event Log: Senses Fail

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Senses Fail event
Where: All over the city
When: May 14th-May 20th
Warnings: None


You wake up on the 14th, and something is different. Maybe it's something small - you can't smell anything, or your hearing on one side seems to be on the fritz. Or it could be something large and impossible to miss - you've gone completely blind, or you seem to be missing a leg. You've lost something, and no matter what you do, you can't seem to fix it.

Will you ever get it back? Probably, but it's impossible to be sure. And even if you're thoroughly convinced that this is temporary, that still means you have to figure out how to live like this for the next week. Even small things can be huge difficulties. Your sense of taste doesn't seem that important, until you accidentally eat something that'll make you sick. And sure, maybe you can figure out how to live without one hand, but what about when you wake up three days from now and you've also lost your magic?

Do your best to keep yourself calm, but remember: it can always get worse.

I don't see you as a project. I see you as Taako, who is waiting in Hope's temple for reasons I don't know. And I know it's not my business. If you don't want the company or the concern, I won't trouble you further. [ He leaves Taako the flask, though. ]

Good luck. [ And he turns to go. ]

[This whole situation is weird. People-- reaching out to him, trying to care. It's not that he doesn't get why. There will always be kind people in the universe, people who haven't been broken by pain. But Taako can't trust like that. He's better, better than he's ever been, but unknown people present unknown dangers. It took him so long to trust the more foolhardy members of their crew.

It's not necessarily personal. It just is.

He shifts his jaw a little, looks down at the flask before holding it up.]


You want your thing back?

[It's... probably not recognizable as a reach out. But for someone whose spent a lot of his life taking shit without remorse, the action of asking is at least one point in his favor.]

[ Curufin was not a trusting person in his own world, and it took him a long time to develop the ability to trust. So he gets it.

He smiles when Taako offers him the flask back. ]


If you'd like to have it, keep it. It's Speakeasy liquor, and there's a lot more where that came from.

[ He doesn't leave, just waits for a further cue. ]

[He sits for a few tense seconds, considering his options, before he tucks the flask back into his middle. This is his now. At least he can be maybe slightly wasted if he feels like it.

He'll remember this, though. It's not every day someone really listens. And, well- maybe it's especially hard to take from elves, considering his checkered history with parentage. But he tried. He tried, and that means something.]


Yeah. Fine.

[He won't speak again.]

[ It's a gift, and it is intended to give Taako the option of getting wasted, and also to let him know that somebody cared enough to wish him the opportunity. And to let him know that Curufn tried, even though he couldn't do much. But, again, he understands how hard it can be to trust. ]

Good, then.

[ He stays a little longer, just as a way of saying that he understands the loneliness of waiting in this temple. And then eventually, he slips away. ]
