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!

That's good. We all need people we can turn to. And I'm a good listener?

[don't mind her, she tries to solve everyone else's problems to avoid her own]

[knifecollecting]

[Jo nods to show she understands, but still.]

And you're young.

[unphase]

I'm fifteen. That's an adult where I'm from. And I've been expected to serve my mother and my planet for as long as I can remember. I might understand better than you think.

[knifecollecting]

Just because others expect too much from you doesn't mean I'm going to.

[She can't imagine what Tinya has had to deal with.]

[unphase]

It's nothing I can't handle. It's just what was expected of me.

[even mixed-blood as she was, she was still the daughter of Bgztl. that meant something]

[knifecollecting]

[She's quiet for a bit, thinking that over. Even if it was expected-

Well.]

I'm glad it didn't overwhelm you.

[unphase]

[her mother had incredibly high standards and no patience for weakness]


It didn't. And neither did my time with the Legion. It's what I do. What I was born to do.

[if anything, she had more to prove after her mother spurned her high society betrothed to elope with a Terran without a credit to his name and she was the end result]

[knifecollecting]

[What a life.]

You don't always have to follow what people think you were born for.

[unphase]

[it gets worse]

Maybe not. But for now, being in the Legion feels right. And maybe someday, serving my planet as its ambassador and example might feel right. Who knows?

[knifecollecting]

[Life often does.]

As long as you're following what you really want.

[unphase]

I always do what I really want. Whether anyone else likes it or not.

[knifecollecting]

Good.
