Event Log: Keepsakes

[hadrielmods]

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.

His hands are steady and sure, moving with the skill of someone who's done this many times before. "I'd love to. You should celebrate it, even here. We need good things -- What's a kimono look like?" He's unfamiliar with the name, though he's extrapolated that it's special clothing. Maybe a dress? "Did we miss your birthday?"

"I'll defiintely keep you posted."

And in response to the question about the kimono, she reaches for a nearby notebook and pencil and sketches it out, a furisode. While she sketches, she tackles the next question." The actual date, yeah, but the ceremony is a holiday in Japan. It's the second Monday in January for everyone who turned twenty between April 2nd and April 1st, so we haven't missed that."

When the sketch is complete enough, she holds it up for him to see.

"That's a ways away, then. I wonder if we'll all still be here."

He finishes one braid and starts on the other side as she sketches, until she holds the pad up. "It's beautiful," he comments, hands stilling as he looks at the sketch. "What color is yours?"

"We probably will." Emily has lost hope of going home -- and more importantly, she likes what she and her friends have here. She likes having Hannah and Beth around, likes that everyone is alive. Not necessarily well, but alive is a start.

"Mine's mostly purple, with flowers in the fabric, but not like a full pattern. It's just in parts of it. There's a lot of white and pink to it too." Setting down her sketch pad, she adds, "I can show it to you next time you're over."
