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...

[ He nods quietly. Yes, he does. ]

[hardwearing]

Let's find out.

[ Wash pulls out his phone and sends a text to all the others, a simple Can Donut move back in? that he expects he knows the answer to and this is a formality, but all the same. The responses filter in one at a time. ]

You're good, it sounds like. If you decide you want to stay you can only hog the bathroom one night a week once the water's back on, okay? Oh, and my rule, no more making that tea just in case someone else drinks it, it's dangerous for us.

[glazedonutholes]

[ His bottom lip wobbles at the answer and he wipes the tears before they have a chance to escape. ]

Only one night? [ He wipes his wet hand on his shirt. ] But I like my tea, I even made little teabags with names on them.

[hardwearing]

[ Wash deliberates for a minute, because the latter really is dangerous but maybe he can find a way... ]

...two nights, and if you want your tea you drink it out of a special cup that's just for you. Everybody else will know not to touch it just in case. How does that sound?

[ Compromise!!! ]

[glazedonutholes]

[ He thinks about it for a moment before turning to him, eyes bereft of tears. ]

Can I pick my own special cup?

[ asks the child ]

[hardwearing]

[ Thank god the crying's stopped, Wash only knows that one trick to soothe people and if it doesn't help he has to rely on words which he's not great at. He seems to be saying the right thing here, though, at least. ]

Yeah, of course. It just has to look different -- you could paint one if you really wanted to, so everybody knows it's yours.

[glazedonutholes]

[ He nods. ]

Can I paint it red.

[ The flowers start to pull away, the god no longer in need of their comfort. ]

[hardwearing]

Sure. Red's a good color, I'll even get you the paint.

[ Does that sound good? Wash is satisfied, at least. ]

Do you need help packing?

[glazedonutholes]

Well... okay.

[ The flowers have retreated now, crawling back to the wall where they slither and slide almost taking up half the wall like English ivy.]

If you want. [ He wipes at his eyes one last time and stands. ] But, I need a bath first.

[ Because he's a mess. A disaster compared to his groomed and pampered self. He's even getting specks of facial fair! And don't even get him started on his legs! He needs to wax! Pronto! ]
