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...

Drake's heard some things. He takes it all with a grain of salt, from both sides. At Carolina's question, however, he nods.

"I know a lot, yeah. Not just from his explanations and stories, I asked one of yours -- I was thinking about going there and wanted another opinion so I talked to Tucker. It does sound like the kind of environment that makes somebody serious, but it could just be you, too."

[uptightness]

Tucker... Well, if he was able to get him to be more serious, he likely could have gotten a reasonable answer out of him, without too many bow chicka bow wows included. Carolina was speaking more general anyway than their own personal stories, at least mostly. It's not like everything was eternal sunshine and lollipops, but it wasn't all brimstone and fire.

"I suppose next to Tucker, I do contrast rather drastically." Next to Caboose, moreso, but she's not certain if he had ever met him. "It's not that bad, where we come from. Could be better in a lot of regards, but it could be a lot worse too."

"You're nothing like Tucker, that's for sure. So you think it's just your personality..?" It's a personal question, Drake is aware, but she'd brought up their world first. Then seemed to not blame it. He's a little confused by that.

"Or maybe he's the exception, not you guys. Washington always seemed pretty serious too."

[uptightness]

"A good handful of the agents were. Serious, that is. Some a bit more when we had to get down to it, and otherwise fairly casual and easy going." They'd still go out, have drinks, socialize. Carolina might, if she had been dragged along, but otherwise it had been about getting better and making her father proud of her. She's not certain if he ever really noticed outside of his little games that he was playing. Those final words... Maybe too little too late.

"I'd always been determined. Wash..." Her lips do give a little twitch at that. "He was fairly easy going when I first met him. Any of the Reds and Blues are. They might bitch and complain and balk, but they've a good capacity to take the shit that the world throws at them and to keep on going."
