Event Log: Assassin

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone!
What: The Assassin event
Where: Throughout the city
When: April 15th-23rd
Warnings: Inevitable character death, potential horror and gore and unpleasantness. Please remember to tag for warnings in the header if it things get too bad!

The morning of April 15th in Hadriel is cheerful, with artificial light streaming through your window. Your blankets are warm, jabberjays are shrieking, and you're probably going to experience a murder attempt today.

Maybe it'll be from a stranger, maybe it'll be from a friend, but the bottom line is that everybody is after somebody and nobody is safe (...okay, twelve people are safe, but that's beside the point). Time will only tell when you'll be overcome by that murderous rage and try to kill someone else. The best thing you can probably do at this point is stay calm, keep your head high, and try not to die for the next eight days.

Helpfully, Rage will have restocked her armory for the event, for those of you have yet to arm themselves. Additionally, for a limited time only, the armory will be stocked with bear traps, tripwire (in both 'general wire' and 'barbed wire' flavor), and voice recorders. Use all of them, use none of them, just get on out there and kill each other!

Oh, and one last thing...

If it has to come to that, yes. Am not going to just let someone off you in the middle of the street.

[Plus talking someone down from their murder urges isn't a particularly strong skill of hers, especially when she's lacking in the Care Department.]

[hybridification]

Well, I mean... I'd hope not.

[But it's still weird, to Rhys anyway.]

...thanks, man.

[circumitus]

Don't mention it. Let's just get you home. Unless you have any other pit-stops you need to make or whatever.

[In which Rey becomes something like a terrible bodyguard.]

[hybridification]

No, just, uh- just home is good.

[Other stops might be nice but really, he'd just be happy to be in the safety of his own bed again.]

[circumitus]

All right. Home it is.

[She takes a few steps before stopping again.]

...Where do you live?

[hybridification]

Oh. I live with Gren.

[Rhys moves forward ahead of her so that he can lead the way.]

You know, one armed guy? Eighties rent-a-cop goatee?

[circumitus]

Mm. Never met him.

[She may have seen someone like that around, since that's a pretty telling description. But she's never shared discourse with this man before.

[So Rey just shrugs and keeps following Rhys. Whatever.]

[hybridification]

Ah, well you know. He's cooler than I make him sound.

[But he continues to lead them home anyway- still suspicious of everyone and everything around them, but a little more relaxed now that he knows he has Rey on his side.]

Anyway, we're just up here.

[circumitus]

Will take your word for it.

[Which isn't saying a whole lot, considering it's Rhys. His judgment in what's "cool" is a little questionable. Sorry, bro.]

All right. Am right behind you. [As she's keeping an eye out for any potential assailants than she is interested in being a conversationalist.]

[hybridification]

[What a good friend.

It doesn't take long before they're back to Rhys' door and he turns back to look at Rey, smiling just a little despite the grim setting of everything else. Her protection is kind- kinder than anything he'd been able to manage toward her, and while Rhys isn't exactly the type of person to indebt himself to someone and say that he owes her, he can at least appreciate the gesture.]

Thanks. For helping me out here, I mean.

[circumitus]

[Rey can be truest of pals. When she wants to be.

[While received, she just continues to grace Rhys with the same, emotionless expression that's been plastered to her face the whole time. If not for her actions contradicting her temperament, it'd almost be a wonder that she cares at all.]

No problem. Just don't get yourself killed over anything stupid. You need to make an outing like that again, don't do it on your own. Call or something.

[hybridification]

...yeah.

[Even kinder of her. Rhys just watches for a few moments, before smiling, despite her monotonous expression.]

That's cool. None of us are really alone, so long as we have each other- right?

[circumitus]

...Right.

[It's a halfhearted agreement, but hey. Whatever you say, Rhys.]

If you're good to go here, will just get out of your hair, then.

[hybridification]

Sure.

[He nods weakly.]

I'll see you around, I guess.
