hadriel_logs | Event Log: Keepsakes

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Keepsakes event!
Where: All around the city
When: October 15th-October 19th
Warnings: A bunch of random crap.

Well, Hope and Delight are messing with the door again, but at least this time dragons aren't involved, right? This attempt goes a bit better - sure, no one gets sent home, but if everyone will just look under their seats, they'll find a FREE [INSERT SOMETHING YOU MAYBE DIDN'T WANT AT ALL HERE]! Awesome! So nice! Yup, throughout these few days people will be finding things from home - something they loved, something they used all the time, something they hated, something they totally forgot they even had. All sorts of cool stuff!

Well, they might not actually find it. Their neighbor might, or a complete stranger. And who knows where it could turn up? At the park, half-buried? In the Silent Hill zone, kept safe by a horrifying monster? Or hey, maybe in somebody's underwear drawer. Awkward. Better try to find your stuff, or find the owner of whatever weird crap you found. It could be something important.

[Never in her life did she think she'd be able to understand Chinese.

Somehow, Faith knows it's that, but she still understands the writing in the journal that turns up on her desk at the house. (She sees the characters on the page and reads them as if they were English, so it's not as if whatever's going on here makes her suddenly fluent. It's handy that way, because this isn't hers, and she wants to return it to its owner.) When she flips it open, she sees a name on the inside cover, recognizes it from the clinic roster, and knows exactly when she'll be giving this back.

She heads for the clinic for that express purpose after double checking with Kate that Hakkai is on shift.]

Hiya! Hakkai? Got something of yours here!

[Hakkai looks up from wiping down one of the surfaces of the clinic, ever the neat freak.

He had never met this girl before. He wonders if someone sent her there for them.]

That's me.

What is it?

[He wipes his hands off on a dry cloth before approaching her.]

It's some sort of notebook. [Faith walks further in to meet him halfway, holding up the journal for him to see.]

It's got your name on it. [Now, she holds it out to him, smiling.]

[Hakkai looks at the journal and recognizes it immediately. He takes it politely when it's held out to him.]

I haven't seen this in a while...

[He smiles to her.]

Thank you for bringing this to me.

Did you read any of it?

[That is in fact a bit of a blush coloring Faith's cheeks.]

Just a bit, sorry. I wanted to find the owner's name, so I flipped through a few o' the pages, and-- [She smiles, sheepish.] Sounds like quite the journey you all had.

I would be surprised if you hadn't read any of it.

[He looks down at his journal and flips through it briefly before looking back at her.]

It was. I don't know if I've captured that year accurately since it wasn't unbiased, but it was quite the year.

[Sorry Faith is predictable and curious...! But she's glad he's not mad.]

I think it's good to remember what you thought stood out at the time. Everyone's biased somehow, y'know?

[He nods in agreement.]

I don't think we've met before.

[Moving the topic off of himself because he's not really ever up for talking about himself.]

I'm Hakkai, as you know. It's nice to meet you.

[That's fine with Faith. She's just happy to be talking.]

I'm Faith. Nice to meet you! Been in the cave long?

Yes. I've been here for a while now. Longer than I'd like to say, haha.

I don't think I've seen you around, however. You must be fairly new yourself.

Yeh, just got here about a month ago? God, feels like longer. [So much has happened already.] You could fill another journal with the stuff what happens here!

Honestly, I've already started to. I think it's pretty important to keep things written down especially in places like these where your head can get messed with.

[He nods in agreement.]

But I do agree, it feels like it's been way too long.

[She likes the way you think!] Long enough that there's a clinic and a guard and some shops...

[People are settling in. It's nice, but...]

Seems like people are losin' hope of ever going back home.

[Hakkai crosses his arms over his chest in a resting and reserved stance.]

The ones that have been here the longest probably have and the rest of us don't really know where to start looking for an exit.

[He gives the barest of shrugs.]

Everyone I knew here from my own world went home...or somewhere else.

Guess if you've been here so long, you must've tried all you can think of already.

[But surely Faith and Kate will come up with something. They've done the impossible before!

Ah, but--]

Oh no, I'm so sorry. I hope they're safe! [She gives him a tentative smile.] And I hope that journal there can help you feel like part of 'em's still with you, or you with them.
