Event Log: Is It a Wonderful Life?

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for Is It A Wonderful Life? event
Where: All over the city
When: Jan 4th-8th
Warnings: None

Throughout the next few days, you may find yourself plagued by visions and dreams of back home. The dreams will be lifelike and difficult to tell apart from reality, as the world will be constructed from what you remember of your world. However, unlike usual dreams, you won't be present, and will find yourself unable to be seen or heard by those around you.

The dreams are vivid reminders of what might happen in a world without you: a world in which you disappeared when coming to Hadriel, a world which desperately needs you back for some reason or another. You may see your parents putting up missing posters, your significant other moving onto their next relationship, or even your hated villain finally taking over the world without you there to stop them.

When the vision leaves, you're back here and nothing about the city has changed. Though maybe you have a different outlook on it now...

[The real answer, of course, is that she's seeing glimpses of her home. But it's too personal to bring up with someone she barely knows and barely trusts. A freeloader, who took advantage of the state the false gods had put her in to drain her of that precious coffee straight from home.

But she has seen others by now, staggering around slowly as if in a daze, so she's not alone and perhaps he is simply being evasive.]

Right now? Nothing. Have you not noticed anything strange over the last day or so?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Not any stranger than normal.

[Hallucinating is par for the course with him. He's done it a few times since he's been here. Granted these ones had seemed far more vivid and strangely about things he actually cared about. But not enough for him to even put together this is the gods mucking around with his head again.]

Why? What's happening?

[abyssalarcana]

I don't know, but I suspect Confusion must have gotten bored again.

[Since Rage and Fear aren't back yet, to her knowledge, and given her own reaction to what she has seen, none of the others make much sense. Then again, rage is sort of her baseline even on days when the others might have little to be angry about. That ever-burning hatred for all creatures will never completely fade.]

You really haven't seen anything? Nothing familiar to you, or unlike this place?

[theweakhavepurpose]

[Shrug.]

I'm not hallucinating any more than normal. What am I supposed to be seeing?

[He looks around as if maybe he'll suddenly see whatever she's looking at.]

[abyssalarcana]

Ugh.

[Great. Of course, wonderful, he just hallucinates already. Enough to not have any idea of what the gods are up to. Well, then the only reason she had continued this conversation - to confirm the extent of the problem in others not herself - is entirely pointless.]

I don't know, and I don't care. Get out of my sight.

[No day is ever a patience day but this one is particularly not one she wants to share with someone else.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

You're the one standing around staring at things that aren't there.

[He's going to savor this moment of being the sane one. It's rare and he shall cherish it always. She has given him a great gift.]

Fine, fuck you too.

[But he'll leave before she starts trying to stab him.]
