hadriel_logs | Event Log: Old Friends And New

Who: Characters in Hadriel and all Fourth Wall attendees
What: Fourth Wall Event!
Where: All around the city
When: The Door malfunctions and brings folks from all different worlds into Hadriel. The more the merrier!
Warnings: None

The city is a little more... crowded than usual. Throughout the week, you may see a few more faces around, some familiar and some unfamiliar- you may even witness certain characters just popping in and out of existence as the Door flexes its uncertain power. Luckily, this seems to be the only effect of the Door's experimentation so far, but that's not to say that the worry ends here.

Some of you may find friends from home, others may find enemies, or just new allies or people you really don't get along with. Either way, it's time for a party as the gods scramble to put some sort of gathering together so that you can all take care of one another and the gods don't have to deal with another mass influx of people when they aren't ready for it. Aren't they nice?

So enjoy your music, your food, and the random assortments of items you may be able to find in the shops. The kindness won't last forever, but the gods are fairly certain that this explosion of new people is just temporary, so enjoy it while you can!

Due to the Door's meddling, some of the new people may enter the city already aware of their predicament. In order to cut down on some confusion, new visitors from the door may find that they're already aware of the conflict they're a part of, the city they're in, and have some vague idea of the gods they're surrounded by. They may even be aware that their stay here is temporary- still, there's no reason not to find shelter and food and a few allies to help you ease the way.

[Lup and Taako aren't as attached to the hip as they once were, so finding her twin out and about in Hadriel isn't so surprising. Though they share quite a few, they do have different groups of friends, different hobbies and responsibilities to attend to.

But what is surprising is the umbrella in his hand. Hadn't that already fucked right on out of Hadriel? Lup had honestly been happier with it far out of sight.]

Hey, slut! [She doesn't bother crossing over to him, just standing across the way screaming at him, a hand cupped around her mouth.]

Did you really cobble together a new umbra staff just to try an' fuck with me? Cuz that's just sad, bro.

[Taako freezes, ears swiveling backwards to listen to the voice calling out to him. He turns around and looks at the other elf critically and then calls out to her.]

Uh, who are you?

Very funny, dingus.

[Actually, in her opinion, not very funny at all. But Lup shrugs that off with an air of irritation, because how dare he not play back along with her, and crosses the distances between them.]

So for real, what's the deal with this? [she nudges the umbra staff with the toe of her shoe] Looks pretty legit.

[When this other elf who is like???? Wearing his fucking face??? Crosses the distance between the toe of them Taako instinctively flinches and steps away. Oh helllll no. When she nudges his staff he pulls it away quickly, clutching it close and eyeing her with suspicion.]

Hey. No touching my stuff. Who do you think you are?

[He's looking at her face, hard, as if he can't quite look at her right.]

[MmmmMMM this has a Bad Feel.]

Taako, this is fuckin' stupid. [She's always played along with his goofs, but him pretending to not know her back then versus now is very different. He wouldn't tease like that, not when it's something she still fears, not something that hurt him so badly.

But there's no crack in his composure, no tiny twitch to alert Lup to the fact he's just playing a game with her, and that's what ends up making her pause.]

'Ko, you know who I am. You do. It's Lup. You know that, right?

[This elf woman that knows his name just keeps getting in his face about something or other and it's really starting to tick him off. And it doesn't help that she's, like, watching him, in a way that makes his skin crawl and feel like he's overexposed somehow. Like she can read him or something.]

Yeah, you're right. This is fuckin' stupid because you're acting like you know me!

[He takes a step back, putting physical distance between the two of them and his ears swivel back when he suddenly hears unexpected static.]

The fuck did you just say?

[He's getting more and more agitated by the moment and his eyes furtively glance from side to side, looking for any exit routes.]

Look. Clearly this is a case of mistaken identity or something which, congrats for having a friend that's as, uh, handsome as me! But you should probably go find them and not me and I'm gonna leave before you go all psycho, capiche?

[He takes another step back, putting the Umbra staff inbetween him and this... whoever they are. She may have introduced herself but he has no damn idea who she is.]

[It's that ear swivel that really sells it. Her brother is a good liar, skilled at putting on his best mask and sometimes going overboard for a goof, but he's never had the best control over his ears. The way they pin back like that, as if he feels threatened by her presence, that's what really makes Lup's stomach feel like it's dropping out from under her.]

You -! [He doesn't remember. There's no recognition in his face, no playful gleam in his eye, no careful press of his lips to keep from smiling. This is her brother, there's no doubt about that, but this is a Taako who doesn't know Lup. This is the Taako she traveled with at his side for over a year without him knowing her.] It's me... [It's useless. He's already put the umbra staff between them, like she's dangerous.] It's just me, Koko. Your sister... You have to remember me.

[She shouldn't, some part of her knows it's stupid, but Lup steps forward closer to him anyway, raising a hand, silently entreating him to listen to her.]

When we were little, we used to play switcharoo with everyone. You'd pretend to be me, and me you. Our aunt was the only one who ever saw through it and called us out. You remember that, don't you?

[He really should be bolting from this crazy elf lady but there's something about her words that keeps him rooted to the spot, ears still swiveling with uncertainty as his instincts scream for him to run.]

Sorry but uh, didn't have no one but reliable old me during those halcyon days.

[She calls him Koko and he kind of scoffs a bit. What a dumb nickname. That'd be like calling her Lulu if he knew her but he'd never do that.]

I don't know why you seem to be so obsessed with me and why you like, stole my face? But for the low low price of leaving me the fuck alone, I won't file a lawsuit with my staff here and kick your ass. Got it?
