Event Log: Beetlejuice

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Beetlejuice event!
Where: All around the city
When: August 13th-August 18th
Warnings: Scary stories to tell in the dark! Maybe a few goosebumps? Taking a walk or two down Fear Street.

When you wake up on the morning of August 13th - well, you'll notice that morning just doesn't really happen. The light that usually illuminates the cave doesn't start coming on, leaving things as dark as night. As if that's not enough, the light switches don't seem to work either. No matter how many times you flip them, the lights won't come on, although mysteriously the other appliances work as normal.

Afraid of the dark? Don't worry! You have oh-so-kindly been provided with lanterns, candles, and flashlights that sure do love to flicker just when you least want to be terrified. Hey, it's something, right?

Just as you begin to realize the artificial 'sun' isn't coming up, Fear appears to make an announcement to the network. What's not fun about scary stories when you're stuck in a dark cave surrounded by monsters? Nothing, that's what! So have fun, everyone - terrify your friends with that story about a cactus filled with spiders, try that classic scarecrow-falling-from-the-ceiling prank. It'll be a good time for everyone, especially Fear! We're sure no one will hold anything against you. On the morning of August 18th, the lights will finally come on as usual. Let's hope you don't have any nightmares!

[It seems perfectly logical to him. People generally feel close to a lover and don't want to lose them.

But if it's not a girlfriend-]

Boyfriend?

[Also logical. Hey, maybe he and Bucky share more than just a similar face.]

[wipedclean]

No.

[But he hesitates before he says it. He's fairly certain they're not, but... he might... want Steve to be.

But he's not allowed to want those kinds of things. He's not supposed to want anything at all. He should... ignore those feelings.]

[benumbing]

[He doesn't miss it. Jack's that much like a circling shark in the water. But it's also something that he wouldn't exploit. He feels that pain.

So he doesn't say anything else, just lifts a hand to pat the larger man's shoulder.]

Whatever it is, you can drink it away.

[So he's pouring one extra.]

[wipedclean]

[He snorts, lifting his eyebrows.]

Not really.

[He does take the extra drink though, because why not. He likes the taste.]
