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.

They might be. But I'm already dead back home, so this what if game doesn't really work with me.

[ A shrug. It's what the gods do. Ephemera's learned to accept it. ]
coyoteking: (i can't believe you've done this)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-01-16 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
They better be.

[Charles grunts. All these visions of shit going to hell in a handbasket without him? It can't be real. Because fuck that.]

Sorry, by the way. About you bein' dead.
requiemshark: (024)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-01-16 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ephemera exhales a cloud of smoke, watching it spiral and rise. ]

Don't be. Not like you did me in. 'sides, I lived a whole lot longer than anyone expected.

[ He's almost thirty. Practically ancient by ODST standards. ]
coyoteking: (closest i could find to a smile)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-01-17 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Charles barks out a short laugh.]

I'll drink to that. Or I would, if I had anything.

[He'll just take a drag on his cigarette instead.]

However it happened, I hope it was a good one.

[A good death, he means. Dying sucks, but dying lame sucks even worse.]
requiemshark: (030)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-01-19 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
You I like.

[ Maybe it's not the best attitude towards life, but it's one that Ephemera understands. ]

Hail of bullets. Could've been better, could've been worse.
coyoteking: (sunglasses make you cool)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-01-19 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
You're not so bad yourself.

[The free cigarette helps. Not that Charles is used to people liking him so quickly; they usually find him abrasive. This is nice, though.]

Eh, dying old in bed is overrated. At least you were doing something badass, probably.
requiemshark: (003)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-01-19 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Blaze of glory, [ Ephemera agrees, even though it wasn't. But it sounds better like that. ] Then I ended up here. Thought it was hell for a while. Now, who the fuck knows.
coyoteking: (i can't believe you've done this)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-01-22 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Better not be hell, I got shit to do.

[As if hell is just an inconvenience.]

And yeah, I know, so does everybody, but this whole vision thing is really drivin' the point home.
requiemshark: (003)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-01-22 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Guess most people do.

[ He's got plans, despite being dead, but none of them involve going back home. Not anymore. ]

Gods are getting something out of it. Like always.
coyoteking: (clap your hands if you're mad)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-01-24 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
So which emotion is this? There a god of anxiety? I guess there's a Rage. And it is kinda pissin' me off.
requiemshark: (034)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-01-24 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing this one would be Sorrow.

[ Ephemera exhales another cloud of smoke. ]

Just what they do. I try not to take it personally.
coyoteking: (i can't believe you've done this)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-01-25 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ephemera's smoke cloud reminds Charles that he's been sort of neglecting his own cigarette to rant. Whoops.]

I mean yeah, I guess they gotta eat. Just kinda one of those "sucks for everybody" situations. They gotta do this to live, and then we hate 'em for it, because it's awful. No easy answer.
requiemshark: (030)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-01-26 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
That about sums it up.

[ Ephemera sighs, tipping his head back. ]

Lot of people take it personally. Hard not to, I guess.
coyoteking: (hmmmmmmmm nah)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-01-27 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Can't say I never will. Depends on how much of a dick they are about it.

[There's needing to get people to feel things, and there's throwing salt in a wound.]

But I guess for now there's not much we can do. Kind of stuck with each other.
requiemshark: (Default)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-01-28 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ephemera snorts. He figures that's a fair way to think about it. ]

Easier said than done, but I see your point. Pretty damn easy to start a fight around here, but it doesn't do much in the end.
coyoteking: (yeah okay sure)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-01-29 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, they're like, ultra-powerful magical beings or what the fuck ever.

[He shrugs and takes another drag off his cigarette.]

You supposed we could take 'em if we all banded together?
requiemshark: (006)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-01-30 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Using what, exactly? They don't bleed.

[ Ephemera just shrugs. He's got no person feelings about the gods. They keep Drake alive and he's tankful for that, but his goodwill doesn't go much further. It's just the reality of this place, something to be contented with. Like the weather. ]

Sure, the Null got some good hits in. But unless somebody figures out how they managed that one, I don't see the point.
coyoteking: (clap your hands if you're mad)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-02-02 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
To be clear, I'm not plannin' anything. If I wanted to kill 'em, I'd let 'em know.

[He'd of course have to have a very good plan already in place, but you know. At least he's honest about his intentions.]

It's just nice to know where you stand, right? That if shit hits the fan in the worst way, we're not totally fucked. Though I guess we might be.
requiemshark: (027)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-02-03 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's generous of you.

[ For his part, Ephemera doesn't usually let his enemies know he's coming. Not unless the point is to make sure they know who's killing them. He's tried to move past that part of his life. ]

Hnn. But we are still standing. Something to be said for that, in the end.
coyoteking: (finally smiling but probably for bad rea)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-02-05 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
True. As long as we're still here, we can figure out whatever the hell comes at us. You can technically do anything until you're dead.

[This is either the kind of confidence bred of having no natural enemies, or the kind of confidence born from brash stupidity. Spoiler alert, it's the second one.]
requiemshark: (012)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-02-09 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ephemera raises an eyebrow, but doesn't argue the point. ]

Sure. That's one way to think of it.
coyoteking: (what was that u little shit)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-02-13 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
It's the way I'm gonna keep thinkin' of it.

[He stubs out what's left of the cigarette and stands.]

Shit, I don't think I got your name. Thanks for the smoke, though.
requiemshark: (012)

[personal profile] requiemshark 2019-02-13 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ephemera.

[ He gives a polite nod. ]

See you around.
coyoteking: (long suffering sigh)

[personal profile] coyoteking 2019-02-15 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Charles.

[It's only polite to return the favor. He nods as well.]

See ya.

[And with that nice little respite over, he returns home.]
