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...► This log covers January 4th-Januray 8th.
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you try a weird solution to make it back home, please let us know here.
no subject
He actually say that to you, or you see it in a vision?
[ He's been in Hadriel awhile, he knows how these things go. ]
no subject
Well... he didn't say it, but he was happy. He's never happy. The only thing that changed was that I was never born.
no subject
Sometimes, this places makes you see things. Doesn't mean they're real.
no subject
no subject
[ Is....is this something he has to explain? Oh god. He is not mentally prepared. ]
no subject
no subject
Nope. Pretty sure people are hallucinating, though. You're seeing what happens if you died back home, right? It's happening to a lot of people.

1/2
[ No, it wasn't. ]
That's not true! Gods wouldn't do this! They're nice. They make people's wishes come true! They wouldn't do this unless--
2/2
... unless someone wished it.
no subject
He puts the cigarette out on his gauntlet, shaking his head. ]
Look. I don't know what your thing is with gods, but the ones here? They do that shit. You got no reason to trust me, but you can ask Washington or Carolina about it.
1/2
[ He looks a little uncomfortable for a moment, he's been having a few thoughts about that particular subject matter lately - Anyways! ]
Just because I was cast out doesn't mean I don't know how we think. We all just want to help people. Make their wishes come true, you know, the whole - When you wish upon a star? It doesn't matter who you are. Anything your heart desires will come true. [ Did he just repeat the lyrics too-- ] But I'm not a Blue Fairy, I'm Red. So, it's totally not a rip-off from Pinocchio.
2/2
I trust you.
no subject
....think we skipped over that part, Donut. You're - an actual god.
[ Just let him...sit with that, for a moment. ]
Okay. You know what? I accept that. I accept it.
[ What is his life? ]
But, uh. Think of it this way. People don't all think the same way, right? So, why should gods?
no subject
[ Did he just 'Duh' someone? ]
Well, I'm glad you accept me how I am. I mean, I was just born this way.
But... do you really think so? I don't know... The Heavens were really picky who they deemed worthy enough to be a god. I mean, I know not everyone thinks the same - have you seen Carolina's wardrobe? I don't know why she insists on teal when green is totally her color; she should call up Locus for some advice on that - But anyways, you don't have to think the same way to be nice. You just have to be decent. And decency is universal. That's what my Mom always told me.
no subject
[ Happens to him sometimes. He forgets things.
Ephemera takes a deep breath. Wonders if he ought to get another cigarette, if things will seem less insane when he does that. ]
That's the thing, Donut. It's not. People like - like Felix, they're different. You know what a sociopath is?
[ Ephemera's fairly certain that Felix counts. ]
no subject
People who like to be social?
[ You know, like Felix. ]
no subject
[ Ephemera tips his head back. Breathes. Wonders if maybe it shouldn't be Washington or Tucker who explains this, someone who Donut actually has a reason to trust. ]
Okay. You look at me, and...I dunno, because you're nice or whatever, you see a person. Maybe not a person you'd like, but there you go. Someone who can be hurt, who wants things that have nothing to do with you. That's normal.
[ Sometimes it makes things harder when you look at an enemy and see them as people instead of targets to be eliminated. But that was the war. He got over that. ]
Someone like Felix, they'd look at a stranger and they only see how that stranger's gonna be useful. They don't see a person. They see a tool that's useful to them or something that might be fun to toy with for a little while. And when that tool's not fun anymore, or not useful, then there's no point to it. So it might as well die. You understand?
no subject
Like when Wash shot me because I wasn't useful like Simmons.
no subject
Yeah. Except Washington got better. People like Felix don't get better. They just pretend.
no subject
[ Locus, too. ]
Why can't he?
no subject
[ Ephemera sighs. Wishes someone else was handling this conversation because he's probably going to fuck it up, somehow. ]
Maybe Felix could get better. I dunno. But sometimes it doesn't matter what happens to someone, or what doesn't. Sometimes they're just wired that way and nothing's gonna change it.
no subject
no subject
[ He sighs. Rubs his hand over his good eye. ]
Was a time I would've said I didn't deserve one, didn't want one. Then I ended up here, and - I dunno. I guess you'e gotta balance the chance that someone can change for the better between the damage that'll happen if they don't.
