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.

Yes, they are. I'm glad you can appreciate how they make you feel, Krieg. [Since the guy was usually going around in a rage swinging his axe into anything that was alive and had blood inside.]

No, you're not. How does it make you feel inside? Mine make me feel at ease with myself, not so angry.

Mrrmm...happy.

[Blissful, even. He says it with a soft, delighted whimper of sound, staring at the little dots of light wafting through the air.]

Voices all quiet now. No more shouting.

Yes, it seems these bugs have a way of finding peace within us. Of course, it could be some sort of smokescreen by the gods' to lull us into a false state of calm but either way it feels good.

[Ever the suspicious one but he had to be, right?]

No more shouting? Can you just hear your own voice inside your head?

[Krieg is, for better or worse, pretty much all but devoid of suspicions regarding the gods' motives at this point. He's simply too relaxed to care one way or another.]

Not arguing all the time! He's happy!

[You can say that again, the voice affirms distantly, amusedly, and for once Krieg doesn't feel the need to shut him up with a harsh, hard-knuckled rap to the head.]

Nice, isn't it? To feel at peace with yourself. I've not felt like this in a very long time. If ever. [Since he was always angry. Fuelled by revenge and hatred.]

I'm pleased you feel happy. All I can say is that I hope this feeling stays with us for a bit longer before it's snatched away by the gods.

[Krieg hums his overjoyed agreement.]

Maybe forever. Forever!

[Unrealistic? Certainly. But realism isn't one of Krieg's strengths.]

Yes, forever. Wouldn't that feel good? No pain or fear, just calm.

[Liquid knew that it wouldn't last. Not really. Not within this place.]

Alwaysssss...

[The word trails off into a lazy hiss. Krieg is...halfway to slumbertown by now, it looks like.]

[Liquid smiled and allowed Krieg to drift off.]
