hadriel_logs | Event Log: Dazed and Confused

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Dazed and Confused event!
Where: All around the city
When: September 24th-October 2nd
Warnings: None!

On the 24th of September, you wake up and everything seems pretty normal. You've got to head in for your shift at the guard, or at the clinic, or wherever else people go- maybe you're visiting a friend, maybe you're checking out the library, but either way as soon as you step out onto your street, you're in a foreign location.

No, you haven't been transported anywhere weird. Well, not by anything other than your own two feet. And hey, you could recognize a landmark and know your way back from there! But somehow you turn left instead of right and now everything is confusing again. It's not that the city itself is changing, but rather, it's your ability to take direction and move in the way that you think you should.

On top of all that, of course, is the strange inversion of most abilities. Everything is topsy turvy with your various powers or individual skills, so be on the lookout for some odd changes. Maybe you're usually pretty good at reasoning and now you can't think your way out of a paper bag, or maybe you have fire powers that start shooting icicles instead- either way, it's weird. Hopefully you can deal with it without injuring yourself too much, but... well, it's kind of difficult to make any guarantees when you can't even find your way to the clinic when you accidentally break something.

( this isn't where Matt lives, either.

uh. so that's great. that's not going to be a problem when there's a guy growing plants and a guy who seems to have been given some serious steroids when he wasn't looking.

nah. no problem at all. )

Hey, uh.

( he knows you. )

Adam, right?

[Well, at least it's a familiar face. How embarrassing would it be to have his first meeting with someone be when he randomly walked into their house?]

Yeah. Sorry if I intruded.

[Maybe? It actually looks like this might not be Matt's place, either, so maybe he shouldn't be apologizing.]

I'm completely lost.

Yeah, same here, man.

( his hand instinctively goes to the back of his neck, scratching an itch it doesn't really need to. it doesn't hurt him, which makes no sense when you consider that - whenever it's least useful - he seems to break everything.

all or nothing, right? )

Do you, uh, normally have problems with where you're going?

( he's new, so getting lost is a thing, sure, but not this badly out of it. not into random houses. )

Not usually, I've been here for awhile. The city's pretty big, but I thought I knew my way around.

[He also thought he sort of knew how his magic worked, though, so who can really say? He glances down at his feet, just to make sure there's no grass growing or anything weird. So far things seem fine.]

This is probably because everyone voted to resurrect Confusion. Sorry... that was before you got here.

Confusion?

( he's. confused. as to why you would even. ) Were there... no other options?

( because how bad were the others that confusion won out? )

Sure. I voted for Tranquility.

[And therefore he totally has the right to complain about this. That's how it works, right?]

Love was an option, too. I really don't know what people were thinking.

( it definitely does. why is this part of his life he didn't get to choose this. r u d e, murdercave. )

Maybe they were confused.

( Matt no that isn't funny. )

[Matt..................... n o ]

Well, now they're even more confused. Nobody's happy.

[He does smile, just a tiny bit.]

Has everything else been normal for you?

( we're sorry he has a low rating for humour in the game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Uh.

( that uh says it all, really, but; ) Not really.

( there's a reason he's been stood stock still, away from anything, since he got here. )

[Yeah, somehow he's not too surprised. Maybe it's the way Matt is standing, or maybe it's just that weird shit's going on with Adam, too.]

What's going on?

[Fair is fair, he shrugs and comes clean.]

I've been growing stuff. Flowers and plants and things.

( yeah someone needs to get Matt properly acclimated to the whole people having powers thing because- ) What, like planting them?

( as for him. ) Dude, it's like I'm on steroids or something.

Not quite.

[He grins, briefly, and looks down at his feet, gesturing toward the pieces of grass and wildflowers that have already grown there.]

Like that. Did you get extra strong, then?

( well.

well. ) Do you, um, normally do that?

( NOT. NORMALLY BUT. YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS.

as for that question, with a nod, he leans over and wraps his hand around a nearby lamp.

... and absolutely nothing happens. ) Uh. ... That's weird.

I really, really don't.

[It could be worse, sure, but he's not really a big fan of turning into some kind of Disney Princess.]

This hasn't happened before.

[He politely refrains from laughing when Matt completely fails to show off his super strength.]

Maybe it stopped working?

( yeah, he can't imagine that most would want to be a Disney Princess. but at least it might make the place a bit brighter?

but thank you, thank you for not laughing. )

That's definitely confusing.

( guess Confusion's getting their... whatever it is they need. )

Yeah.

[It's not that he doesn't want to laugh. He really does. He just manages to keep it locked away, at least for now.]

But it made you really strong, right? Did you break anything?

( well he appreciates that regardless. because it's ridiculous and frustrating. )

A door. ( or... five... )

Hey, that's not so bad. At least it wasn't someone's arm. Or their head.

[Optimism! Adam is... not actually that great at it.]

( I MEAN. he's not wrong, but still- ) Yeah... but I can't sleep without a bedroom door, you know?

( or. do... other things... )

Yeah... good point.

[Privacy is important, for all kinds of reasons.]

Maybe you can get a new one once this is all over.
