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.

[He pleads with every inch of his face, even with his frozen hand just beginning to reach out for her, the look in his eyes just screaming for Lup to go to him, to let him wrap her up in his arms, to give him the chance to take her safely home. But whatever remains of his sister is only enough to keep Taako safe, not enough to contest the emotions warring so violently within her. There's just not enough of Lup left to fight.

Taako freezes and the lich remains there hovering in front of him for only a moment, the shadowy space beneath her hood an expressionless void, before she's drifting right through the elf again, phasing through his body to leave. To put as much distance as she can between herself and him, to keep Taako safe from the destruction that's going to come.

That's how unbreakable you and I are, babe.

Lup may be further away than she's ever been from him, including the years she'd been unseen at his side, but her words of so many months earlier still ring true. Even like this, even if she can't go to him like he wants, they're connected in a way that defies the very nature of an unstablized lich. He's still the whole of her beating heart, even when she doesn't have one.]

[For the first time, in a long time, there's nothing he can do.

It's almost more paralyzing than the spell, the thing keeping him from her, feeling like the fear and helplessness is squeezing his lungs and moving to his heart. Taako has made himself into something strong, something unable to be undone, a shield around himself and what he loves in every sense. He can beat everything. They can beat everything, as long as they're together. An unbroken wall.

But he's alone now, as she phases through him, and he can't do anything.

He can feel the tears beginning to fall as soon as she's gone, something desperate and raw in his throat, where he wants to scream but he can't find the words. It's like being back on that horrible judge planet, like he can feel the stone creeping up his legs and into his blood and seizing his organs but it's Lup looking down at him, that empty hood and skeletal hands giving nothing of the compassion of his sister. He wants to claw it out of him, to move his arms to his chest and rip the flesh there until he can find his own heart, because he's certain it isn't there without her.

But no matter what he tries, he can't break it. So she leaves. And eventually, the spell wears off, and he collapses into a wheezing, sobbing mess right where he stands.

It's a long time until he can get up again. It's a long time until he can pull himself up, in mortal flesh and blood and no power in his hands but purpose in his stride.

He has to fix this. He has to.

Maybe, with what little power he has, he can save someone else.]
