hadriel_logs | Event Log: The Beach Episode

Who: Everyone!
What: The event log for the transition to our new planet!
Where: The city, which has now been fragmented onto four separate islands.
When: May 27th-June 10th
Warnings: Surf's up! If by 'surf', you mean separation from your friends, weird sea creatures, and cold rainfall.

The sun and the sand and a drink in your hand- well, it all sounded pretty nice when you voted for the island planet, but ultimately what you're getting is a bit less glamorous.

The transition takes place instantaneously, with very little noteworthy shakeup, though those of you who are particularly in-tune with the supernatural may feel a bit dizzied or nauseated by the sudden movement. And that's exactly what it is: for those of you who are outside, the change is fairly noticeable, as in the span of a single blink, what used to be miles of desert is now rocky ocean. The city is simply in one place one moment, and then somewhere entirely new a second later.

And that somewhere new is exciting! The islands have plenty of landscape to explore and weather conditions to adjust to, fish to catch, and- wait, how do you get to the other islands? What if your friends or your home or the bar is on these other islands? Enjoy having to figure out who is where and how you're going to get by with only a small fraction of the city to work off of- hopefully those boats will come sooner rather than later...

No, I'd imagine it would be difficult after such casualties and so much bad blood. Especially for one whose lifespan is potentially without end.

[ His smile is wry and tired ]

That is one of the problems with a people who have almost perfect memories and live a very long time.

[her eyes are thoughtful and a little sad]

Our lives must seem as brief as a plucked flower's to you.

[ He shrugs a little, his eyes sad and a little distant ]

Like shooting stars you seem to us, a blaze of light, more precious for your fleetingness, bringing change in your wake.

...I wonder when all is said and done, what will be said about me? What change did I bring?

I don't think most of us ever get to find out. [ He says thoughtfully ]

Some things we learn from those who come after.

I'll likely be best known for how I died.

I hope they know you for more than that.

[ He says quietly, fervently ]

I hope they remember that you were kind, and brave, and did your best despite the constraints laid upon you.

I would like that. But what is it they say? History is written by the victors?

By the victors, aye... but also by the survivors.

[ He flicks her a wry grin ]

Sansa, you said, she lives? Then she will remember you, and tell others, even if other folk forget.

It's just hard. Knowing that there will never again be a Tyrell in Highgarden. Knowing that all I did and all I was will fade away.

Sansa lives, it's true, but we had such a short time together. . .

I know.

[ He says softly, gently ]

But even so long as one person remembers, you are not forgotten.

[she looks down]

I shall have to ask Sansa to. . . remember me. To her children. And her grandchildren.

i am sure she would agree, if you asked!

And my grandmother, too. And Loras. Sansa knew them both. We'd been planning to have Loras and Sansa marry, did you know that?

I do not think you told me that! I think you would have been good as sisters.

I think we would, too, and she would have been a fine Lady of Highgarden. [her mouth twists into a frown] But the wretched Lannisters got wind of our plans and married Sansa to Tyrion Lannister.

[ He grimaces ]

That last part I know, for she dreams of it still. She would have been happier with your Loras, I think. Tis a pity Ruling Queens are so rare!

Still? She's never mentioned such dreams to me. [she sighs] I would like to think so. Although, Loras like Renly, was more attracted to men than women. But Loras would have been kind to her, regardless.

I don't think she talks of it much at all, in honesty. But kindness would have won her heart, I think. She seemed to have so few who had been kind!

I don't blame her. Being forced to marry a Lannister! Even the least objectionable one of the lot. And she did have few. In the time we had together, I tried to help. When I first saw her in the gallery of the throne room, I don't think I'd ever seen anyone so unhappy.

Poor Sansa! I am glad you were there, even a little. And I am even more grateful that you can know each other here, free from the shackles of your own world.

Yes, things are. . . simpler here. Not so many barriers in the way.

Without the burdens of family or the press of concern for you country and people. [ he agrees with her ]

Aye! I only wish things could have been easier for you before.

Without my duties to my country, certainly. But I'd gladly take back the burdens of my family. Every month, I go to the Colosseum, hoping to find my grandmother or Loras there and every month, I'm disappointed.

It was easier for me than it was for most.

Good place to end this one?

bythewaves - 2018-07-29 14:37 (UTC) - Expand

I'd say so!
