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...

"I'm with you, but I think the important difference people aren't recognizing is that organization isn't authority. We aren't trying to be in control of anything, just to help. It's not really different from the clinic in that way, nobody has an issue with them." He shrugs, sounding neutral but a little frustrated. "If we stopped killing and chasing out all the monsters that come through the Door monthly, people would definitely be in way more trouble way more often, for example."

"Nobody has any issue with the clinic because they're not the ones out patrolling or carrying weapons around. Do you guys carry weapons around?"

Peter never has, at least. Unless his web shooters count as weapons, but even then they aren't exactly lethal.

"Either way, it's not like you can just stop doing your job for a month to prove a point to everyone else. Has anyone ever like actively tried to... I dunno, break the Guard up or something? I mean, I've literally never heard anything bad about you guys from anyone I've talked to."

Drake actually laughs a little at that, shaking his head.

"Peter, they're not worried about us having weapons. Almost everybody here has weapons, and a ton have magical powers way more powerful than somebody with a weapon in the first place. It's about authority... and things have calmed down in that regard but I've got a long memory. Might just be the drama was before your time."

Nooooo don't laugh now Peter's embarrassed about saying a dumb thing.

"R-right, I mean, I was about to say."

He met a like ten year old kid that could shoot fireballs, weapons aren't really all that impressive next to something like that anyway.

"I guess even if it was a while ago, it's a good idea to keep it in mind?"

[braveoff]

Drake nods agreeably, he didn't mean to make the kid feel awkward. It's okay Peter.

"Yeah, it's good to keep in mind. If anyone comments on it at you, just say we're not the cops, we only want to protect the city."

[itsnotaonesie]

Peter spends about 80% of his time feeling awkward, it's all good.

"That's basically what I was doing back home anyway, so that'll be easy enough."
