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...

[there would likely be others who made use of it. not Mariane as the Chantry teaches that the Maker has turned his back on His creations and the slaughter of her family taught her that there is no justice in the world unless you see to it yourself, but others would]

As did I. [a pause] May I ask what you saw?

[kingforboth]

My uncle. King for almost a year now, the time I've been here. My aunt and close friend trying to persuade him to be crowned. My uncle, threatening to abdicate in favor of Rory, his fourteen year old son, and ordering them to find me, or my body. He did not look well.

[Kelson looked down momentarily, remembering the look on Nigel's face, how weathered and gray he'd looked, without looking actually old.]

[theladyofhighever]

...I'm sorry. The weight of a crown is heavy. [a pause] Or so I've been told. But--but our visions. They cannot be true. I've been here once before, returned, then came back. The time it took between going and my return was a blink.

[kingforboth]

You have? And you're sure of it? I've heard such things from others but...these visions or glimpses I fear throws that into chaos.

[theladyofhighever]

I have and I'm quite sure. These visions cannot be real. They are a trick of the mind.

[kingforboth]

I envy that you are so certain. I imagine coming and returning gives you a certain measure of confidence.

[theladyofhighever]

It does, I suppose. I would like to be able to give you some of that confidence.

[but short of him reading her mind, she has no idea how]
