Event Log: Is It a Wonderful Life?

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...

► 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.
roseofthetyrells: (silver over everything)

[she didn't mean to startle Sansa and feels badly about it that she has]

Ones of a world without me in it? Yes. [she knows that the so-called gods have to be behind this, that they are being manipulated again for their benefit. her rage at that fact manages to briefly cut through her grief]

Oh, Sansa. I'm so sorry. That must have been difficult to endure.
stonebird: (❅ is daily drunken there)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-01-10 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
(It hurts that she isn't alone in this nightmare. Sansa crumbles upon that realization and she steps forward, embracing Margaery tightly.)

I'm sorry, too. What... What did you see? If we say it aloud, perhaps it will lose its hold on us.
roseofthetyrells: (the same not give up not give in)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-01-12 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[the so-called gods like to involve everyone in their nightmares, it seemed. and she holds onto Sansa tightly.

in a slightly bitter tone of voice]
I saw a world where Daenerys Targaryen approaches Westeros, where Jon Snow has been proclaimed the King in the North, and Cersei Lannister sits the Iron Throne. In short, I saw that nothing had changed. That my life had amounted to nothing. [a pause] That I was nothing.
stonebird: (❅ when too appalled to stir)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-01-12 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
(She shakes her head carefully so as to not dislodge the other woman. Her arms are stronger than they had been in King's Landing and her voice is steadier and far less shy.)

That is wrong, my lady, and a complete farce. If that is what you saw from them, you did not see how you changed me.
roseofthetyrells: (was it the cure? shellshock)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-01-13 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[she's holding on far too tightly to be dislodged. though, thanks to recent events hers is far less confident, less bright and cheery]

...I did? How?
stonebird: (❅ some burning noon go dry)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-01-15 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
You gave me confidence to withstand all that awaited me. I knew none of it could break me; I knew I needed to be smarter than my captors and wait for their downfall. You were one of my only friends in King's Landing and it made me sad that there was naught I could do for you while you suffered.
roseofthetyrells: (unzipped she doesn't exist)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-01-16 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[she closes her eyes briefly, then offers a shaky smile]

I am grateful that I was able to help you. The way Joffrey treated you was unconscionable and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to . . . distract him sufficiently. And you were my only real friend in King's Landing. Everyone else was either an ally or an enemy.
stonebird: (❅ we slowly drove)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-01-18 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought you handled him and Queen Cersei beautifully. The problem with both of them is they are always thinking of ways to exterminate anyone who challenges them. You were too bright to live; you saw right through them and they couldn't bear that.

(They had done everything in their power to keep her dumb. Sansa understood now that all of the mind games, blows and threats had one purpose: to keep her under their thumbs. They had been afraid of her rising up and finding the power her family had left behind.)
roseofthetyrells: (curled lips can’t get ‘em back)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-01-18 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[a short laugh] I suppose so. Cersei couldn't stand the way that Tommen adored me. Though, to keep the likes of Joffrey sweet, I had to pretend at a great many things. Many of which I'm not proud of, thinking back on them. But he was a loathsome little toad. I'm only sorry we couldn't poison him earlier than we did and supply a dose for Cersei while we were at it.

[and the Stark name and lineage commands loyalty. they had a reputation for honor going back generations. even backing Rhaenyra, the losing party in the Dance of the Dragons didn't blemish it as Rhaenerya was the firstborn child of King Viserys and ought to have been heir in the eyes of many]
stonebird: (❅ but noon and paradise)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-01-19 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Make no mistake, my lady, Queen Cersei will meet a worse end. She will understand the pain she has caused and why she should have chosen a better path. If the loss of her children hasn't been enough to shake her, the sight of the White Walkers will.

(The Starks are stubborn when it comes to loyalty; they don't give it easily, but when they do give it, it's a matter of life and death. But Queen Cersei has effectively severed what loyalty they may have had with King Robert. Now justice must be done.)
roseofthetyrells: (soon comes rain)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-01-19 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed she will and I hope it will involve Daenerys's dragons somehow. But I fear that nothing will shake her confidence. She will be content to hole herself up in the Red Keep with siege provisions and wait the entire bloody thing out.

[the Tyrell's loyalties were always shifting, but Margaery's is to her friends here]
stonebird: (❅ a blue and gold mistake)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-01-24 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
The Keep can't hold against dragon fire. Either she faces them or dies in the ruins.

(Then she must face what waits for them beyond.)

I remember, during the Battle of Blackwater Bay, she was prepared to take poison if the tides turned against her. Then she was prepared to send Ilyn Payne to behead me. She thought that was a mercy.
roseofthetyrells: (they hide it up the sleeves)

(cw: rape)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-01-25 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. [she perks up slightly] After all, if dragons were capable of turning Harrenhal into a ruin, surely they can lay waste to the Red Keep, too.

[or simply be burned into a cinder. she's not picky.

and she looks vaguely perplexed]
But why? Stannis Baratheon had his many faults but from what I've been told, tolerating rape committed by his soldiers was not one of them.

Cersei would have been beheaded, that much is certain, but you? You'd have likely been returned to your brother in exchange for him bending the knee.
stonebird: (❅ I could not die with you)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-01-27 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe they are more than capable. If their fire fails them, their claws and teeth won't.

(The Red Keep will live up to its name again.)

She couldn't have that, could she. (Her expression is grim.) She wanted to decide my life and my death. Giving me to someone else would have been a blow to her pride.
roseofthetyrells: (keeps that kind of window closed)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-01-27 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[she perks up a little more at the thought of Cersei being trapped in the Red Keep by rampaging dragons]

True, Cersei is a petty creature and she likes to keep everyone possible under her thumb. Though, one day her pride will be her downfall. She perpetually underestimates everyone around her.
stonebird: (❅ baptized before without the choice)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-02-06 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
(It is a nice image, isn't it? Sansa doesn't think herself cruel, but there are certain deaths that will bring her joy.)

The walls are closing around her. I don't know if she notices - or maybe she does. Knowing will make it worse on her.

roseofthetyrells: (it's all over your face)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-02-06 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's a lovely image and an entirely fitting end for Cersei Lannister who made life a misery for so many people]

I would want her to know. I would want all of her allies to leave her to her fate and I would want her to know that's what they've done.
stonebird: (❅ and mourners to and fro)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-02-07 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
(Surely Daenerys can draw it out, too. The dragons might not even like how Cersei tastes.)

The problem is she can still find some way to delude herself. She can make herself feel like a victim or a martyr, but it doesn't matter.

roseofthetyrells: (you ain't a baby no more baby)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-02-08 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[surely Cersei would taste of bitter blood and bile]

No, it doesn't. Because the end is coming for her and she can only outrun fate for so long. And she can woe-is-me and pity-me as much as she likes, but she's never been a particularly good mummer.
stonebird: (❅ long dungeoned from his rose)

[personal profile] stonebird 2019-02-12 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
There are many plays about her if you care to look for them. I am featured in them too - as are you, I'm sure. I doubt the mummers would hire her to simply portray herself in them. Once I knew her mind, it was easy to see it written on her face.
roseofthetyrells: (held on high from up up up above)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-02-12 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, I've heard rumors. One of them has me seducing quite literally every man possible and half of the women, too! As if I'd ever be so foolish. [and she's heard what those plays made of Sansa, but doesn't want to share it to spare her friend's feelings] Lies and deception come easy to her. It's the gentler, higher emotions she cannot manage.
