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...

[ oops. well, can't really un-ask the question, can she? ]

Sorry. It'll be over soon, right? At least you've got that going on for you.

Was it bad?

[braveoff]

It was pretty bad. And us dead people can't really write it off that we'll go back to the same moment so it's just a trick. Like I hope yours is what's actually happening, but I hope mine isn't.

[ He sighs a little, shrugs. Why not just tell her? She asked. ]

I was basically all my mother had in the world.

[64th]

[ it's true - they have no idea what really happened at home. they can believe whatever they want to believe, and she's okay with that.

her brow furrows. she knows that feeling - the feeling that your world is one person. and she knows what it's like to lose that person. ]

I'm sorry. That must have been hard to see.

[braveoff]

[ Drake thought this would be harder to talk about, but he actually feels better getting it out to someone else. So he keeps talking, because he thinks Cashmere can handle it. ]

Yeah. I couldn't tell if she... I mean, there was a bottle on the table, maybe I'm jumping to the worst case scenario but my Ma's dramatic at the best of times. She was hysterical for months over her last cat dying, I don't really appreciate this place hinting about what she might do. I know. I've been worried ever since I woke up here.

[64th]

[ damn. it's pretty dark. no wonder everyone is having a shitty week. ]

This place could be wrong. It's far from perfect. You can't expect it to be right about anything. [ but she hopes it's right about some things. ]

[braveoff]

I don't, but I can't write it off as a possibility, either. That's all. It's as likely an outcome as anything else.

[ He shrugs a little, not wanting to dismiss her good vision just because his is terrible, but logically they're all probably made up. ]

It's easy to tell the living people that theirs are fake, because they'll go back to exactly the moment they left, you know? We don't know what happens to us. I try not to think about it too much, disappearing before anyone's figured out the Door.
