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.

And at least this time people can't see your memories if they touch you.

[That event didn't go too badly for him because he figured it out pretty quick. But it very much could have.]

Are you seeing where you're from, too?
hot_mes: (poutyface)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-11 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh. That too.

[likewise, imaginary high-five for fellow dudes who don't want to touch people]

Yeah. It's similar to the thing I saw in windows and mirrors, I assume it's. Tied to our worries or something.
aroundthecoroner: (staring into)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-16 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Huh.

[In Michael's case, the two things are very different. In the mirrors, he saw himself as a monster. In the hallucinations, he sees his world as it probably will be when he leaves for Harlan's.]

This time is less bad for me. Not that I like it, just, it's something I'm not as worried about. Something I've kind of already made peace with. Now I'm wondering if we're all getting the same or not.

[He's still not asking. But he wants to.]
hot_mes: (frown)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Hm. [that makes him equally curious and vaguely interested] Lucky you, I guess. The only thing that bothers me is that it can't be warded off. No amount of concentration, haki, anything...it's utterly inconvenient.

[yeah, sure, that's all it is]
aroundthecoroner: (tame your demons)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-17 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
So it's not affecting you at all, other than that?

[At first he thought Law's must be worse, but now it doesn't sound as bad. Assuming he's not lying, that is. He is trying awfully hard to get rid of the visions, after all.]

... Am I allowed to ask what you're seeing?

[Oops. There it is.]
hot_mes: (suspicious)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-17 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[that's the problem with Law, he does everything in his power to pretend nothing is wrong unless it exceeds his power. Then he just grumps about it.

His eyes shift to Michael for a moment. Most people in the city would not be permitted an answer. But Michael's different. Always has been. He's the last remaining person who's seen his nightmare memories, after all.
]

There's a big fight I intend to have when I get home. It doesn't appear to end well.

[understatement]
aroundthecoroner: (my senses fooled me)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-19 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Unfortunate.]

Well, it's not like they can know the future, right?

[Law probably doesn't need this pep-talk, Michael figures, but he's giving it anyway.]

There's no way they can tell how it'll go. Mine's... different. I just see how things'll be when I'm gone. Since I'm, uh. I'm not planning on going home, if I can help it. So like, it's not the future still. They can't know that.
hot_mes: (unimpressed)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-19 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
No, they can't know the future. [he may not need the pep talk but Michael agreeing with him lends credence to Law's theories on what's going on] This battle is something I think about a lot, I'd believe they're preying on my worries. But if you're not worried...

[wait] ...you're not going home?
aroundthecoroner: (was mine alone)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-22 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Right, he hasn't been telling people about that. Oops.]

Uh, no, probably not. I, uh, got an offer to go with someone else.

[Three guesses as to who.]

To be honest, there's not much waiting for me back in my world. Not much good, anyway.

[It feels bad to call his best friend "not much", but even though she'll have forgotten about it by now, she did say it was okay when she was here briefly. She said she understood.]
hot_mes: (Default)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-22 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[from the vague little smirk, yeah, he can guess.]

Ah. Didn't know that. Well, whatever, where people go isn't my concern as long as it's getting out of here. One way or another.

It's that good, huh?

[the one thing he can't fathom, that level of give-a-fuck for someone. Good for you, Michael]
aroundthecoroner: (here)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-24 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[If that last question was meant to be innuendo, it goes straight over Michael's head.]

You mean, like, the relationship? It is, yeah.

[Of course, he realizes how cheesy that sounds, and busies himself trying not to turn pink.]

Uh, what about you? Taking anybody along for the ride?
hot_mes: (suspicious)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-24 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[nope, no innuendo. Good work Michael.]

No. I don't have anything to offer anyone besides life as a pirate, and I don't really feel like adding to my crew anyway.

[WHICH...come to think of it, reminds him of something, making him sit up a bit]

By the way. I heard, back when the Door went out of control and brought all those people in...that you helped someone important to me. [very quietly, almost blushing himself] ...thanks.
aroundthecoroner: (would always rule me)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-24 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh, right.

[He... forgets the guy's name...]

He got stuck up on the wall around the Coliseum. Your, um. [Well, not parent. Not guardian. Friend? Companion? Who knows.]

Actually, I'm not sure how you two are related, but yeah, he seemed nice.

[And also dead. Whoops.]
hot_mes: (now see here)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Of course he did. [exasperated, but with a touch of something almost fond that Law has probably never let slip out around anyone here before] He was...a friend, actually.
aroundthecoroner: (was mine alone)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-25 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, uh.

[He's never been good at comforting people, or giving them condolences. But if Law was still young when that guy died... Then adult Law has to already know.]

I'm, um, sorry. About what happened to him.
hot_mes: (haki ping)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-25 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh, so he knows? Well, that actually takes a bit of the edge off. Law feels a bit more free to speak of it]

He mentioned it? It was a long time ago, but...yeah. He's the reason I'm alive. So, anyone being kind to him in any way...I really do appreciate it.
aroundthecoroner: (on all the ashes)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-27 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, he did show up covered in blood.

[The subject was a little hard to avoid.]

But, hey, it's not like I could just leave him up there.
hot_mes: (no crying)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-27 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
There are a few who would. Blood or no blood.

[as much as he likes to think he's over it, that thought - covered in blood - makes Law's face twitch a little. For all his vaunted control and coldness, he does have a few things that make him react, and that's one of them]

You're better than I am. I hope you and Harlan-ya make the best of this whole situation we've all found ourselves in.
aroundthecoroner: (and some would scream)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-01-29 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, uh oh, he's made things emotional. That's not territory he and Law end up on very often and he's not sure what to do with it. Maybe pretend he didn't see it? It's easy enough once he's distracted. That last bit gets a little nervous laugh.]

Come on, I'm not better than anybody. Remember that time I sicced a monster on you?

[Maybe he shouldn't argue that point. It'll only lead to things he doesn't want to think about.]

... We'll try.
hot_mes: (Default)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-01-29 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[excellent deflection, Law approves with a tiny huff of a laugh]

That was impressive. I'm guessing Harlan-ya is better at containing it than I was?
aroundthecoroner: (staring into)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-02-01 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. He got me to contain it myself, but only once, and it took a lot of help.

[Still. It's... progress.]

I guess you have to be able to invade dreams? Not a common skill.
hot_mes: (omg wat)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-02-01 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[progress indeed. But he's not too sure how he feels about Harlan being able to invade dreams, given the look on his face]

Make sure he stays out of mine. You've been there, you've seen it.
aroundthecoroner: (and the place)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-02-05 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Michael backpedals a bit.]

Oh, he wouldn't. He doesn't do that stuff without, you know, permission. Or if he absolutely has to.

[Like if the other person is trying to murder him. Or someone else.]
hot_mes: (now see here)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2019-02-05 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Let's keep it that way.

[no big deal though. He swivels back to his notes, completely unbothered by Harlan or the concept of the two of them. Good for you guys. Get that.]

No wonder you two idiots keep dying around each other. You really ought to work on that.
aroundthecoroner: (had a power)

[personal profile] aroundthecoroner 2019-02-05 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
What's that supposed to mean?

[He's not sure if he should be offended or not.]
