Event Log: Speak Your Truth

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone in the city
What: The event log for the Speak Your Truth
Where: All over the city
When: April 3rd-April 9th
Warnings: None

There's a secret burning in your chest. It's hot behind your ribcage, and you need to let it out or else it might consume you- but who would you tell? Who could even begin to understand what you need to say? Your closest friend? Your significant other? Maybe even someone you don't get along with very well? It's hard to know who to trust and who will even understand, but in a strange way, neither of those things seem to matter- all you can think of is what will cause someone the most pain.

Maybe you're trying to get it out in the open so you can put it behind you. Maybe you just need to come clean because the guilt is eating you alive. Maybe you just really want to hurt someone- regardless of the reason, you're aching to tell someone else your darkest secrets.

Will they understand? There's only one way to find out, and it won't be pleasant for either party involved. Good luck, Hadriel!

[toiletseat_girl]

[a slightly challenging stare and tone]

Can't you? 'Cause you're right, I think you can.

[knifecollecting]

[Jo meets the stare without flinching.]

No one's perfect.

[toiletseat_girl]

[she shrugs, but doesn't look away]

I think you're pretty damn awesome, so.

[knifecollecting]

[Jo scoffs quietly.]

Yeah, but you're also a nerd. [It's a loving but sarcastic response.

Jo's a special kind of nerd too.]

[toiletseat_girl]

[pouting vaguely]

I'm not a nerd.

[knifecollecting]

Are you sure?

[Still teasing, despite everything.]

[toiletseat_girl]

I am absofuckinglutely positive that I'm not.

[smug now that they're back to teasing]

[knifecollecting]

Okay. [Not convinced at all.]

[toiletseat_girl]

You need convincing?

[knifecollecting]

I'd love to see what you think would convince me you're not a nerd.

[toiletseat_girl]

I could . . . flirt with someone? In front of you? And not have it blow up in my face?

[knifecollecting]

I'm not going to make you torture yourself.

[And anyway, even nerds get lucky some times.]

[toiletseat_girl]

What, you don't think I can do it? I can totally do it!

[spoiler alert: she can't]

[knifecollecting]

I've seen you around someone you like. [At least, she's pretty sure that was what was happening.]

[toiletseat_girl]

That was different. We were in danger and Sharon was protecting us.

[she pouts]

[knifecollecting]

Makes it harder to pretend you don't like 'em. [She laughs quietly.]

[toiletseat_girl]

Shut up. [more pouting commences.

after a moment] Am I that obvious?

[knifecollecting]

I was a teenager once. [She's still young, mostly.

Sometimes it doesn't feel like it.]

I know what it's like.

[toiletseat_girl]

Technically speaking, I've gotta be like twenty by now. I've been here almost two years.

[does anyone ever feel like a "grown up?"]

Yeah? So, what was it like for you?

[knifecollecting]

I don't think our bodies age here. [Which feels very weird to say.]

She's is a better choice than some of mine. [Jo laughs quietly.]

[toiletseat_girl]

I don't age anyway. [which was a lot to get used to]

You realize now that I gotta ask about some of yours, right?

[knifecollecting]

It would be more beneficial if you looked old enough to drink at least. [She laughs, giving George a soft smile.]

They were okay enough, but Hunters don't stick around. [Her dad was a rare exception, she's learned that. Sometimes people in the life stayed in one place, but Bobby didn't hunt as much as he used to. And he better not be trying, not in his wheelchair.]

Never heard from my last boyfriend. He just disappeared. [That happens a lot in her life.]

[toiletseat_girl]

[vaguely indignant] I look old enough to drink! [mumbled] In certain European countries.

...oh. That's gotta be rough. [it would suck to fall for someone, only for them to move on to somewhere else right afterwards]

Really? Not even a text? Jesus. [she sounds genuinely sorry]

[knifecollecting]

[It wasn't right away. In some ways that made it harder and easier all at once.

Jo shrugs, trying to look as if it didn't bother her much.]

Happens a lot. Hunters don't always come back.

[toiletseat_girl]

[she's trying to sound sympathetic]

Yeah, but still. The not knowing must suck.
