Event Log: A Jar Full of Sunshine

Who: Everyone!
What: The Jar Full of Sunshine event
Where: Throughout the city
When: May 3rd-May 9th
Warnings: Fireflies as a conduit for drug use. Annoyingly catchy songs.

On May 3rd, you may wake up and notice that something is different about the cave. Are you sure it's the daytime? Maybe you didn't sleep long enough, because it still seems pretty dark outside. Or, of course, the gods are messing with the lights again.

This time, however, it seems like it's actually a good thing. Sometime around the afternoon, some smaller lights begin to appear around the city, trickling in from Delight's temple and flickering on and off. These fireflies are brighter than what you might be used to, but being illuminated by their light will mysteriously allow a small surge of joy to rumble through you.

By May 4th, the shops are stocked with large mason jars, and you can start distributing them and using them to catch these fireflies as you wish. They're most concentrated in and around Delight's temple, but by now, the delight-erflies are pretty fairly spread throughout the city.

Be careful (or don't) of how many you catch! 1-3 fireflies in a jar will be enough to give you a mild emotional boost, at 4-6 you might be able to realize that you're definitely happier than you used to be, at 7-10, you can definitely tell that something is making you more cheerful, warm and happy. Beyond 10 fireflies, the additional effect gets smaller the more fireflies you capture, but it will still continue to build until you may just spend the next few days wrapped around your firefly jar in a pleasantly drugged stupor.

Just, uh... don't forget to eat.

Ah, like the big dog he remembers meeting! Except these aren't dogs, they're sort of...spottier.

Whatever! The nice lady likes them, and they don't seem very bite-y, so that means he can treat them all right! He sits bolt upright, eyes locked on the treats in her hand. They look and smell suspiciously similar to skag chews.

"Meat?" he says eagerly. This place has been severely lacking in meat, which comprises essentially his entire diet.

"Of course! Good boys."

One jerky stick each. Bianca resists the temptation to throw Krieg's - although, remembering seeing him catch the firefly, she does file away the idea as a possible game for later.

Bud and Lou, who are in more or less constant mental touch with Bianca, relax as she does, settling into the grass to make odd noises over their chews. Bianca, too, leans back.

"Times like this, I very nearly like living here."

Krieg has to release his trapped bug to accept the jerky, but seeing as there's plenty of bugs humming around in the vicinity, it's not such a big sacrifice. And he gets meat on top of it!

He unhooks his mask and lets it slide onto the ground beside him, revealing a fairly ordinary face that may or may not undermine his generally fearsome appearance. Regardless, he cares little for maintaining appearances when the promise of meat is so overwhelmingly present. He scarfs it down eagerly.

"Less meat," he grumbles, "no breaking necks."
