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.

Hey, she likes Alph. But then, everybody likes Alph. The only person who don't like Alphys is Alphys. But to say he don't know how that is would be a dirty, dirty lie. His grin widens slightly.

"Yeah, she and me are pals. Don't let the stammer fool ya - she's the smartest brain in the Underground and got great taste in bad movies." Spent many a day watchin' some of those, when one or both of 'em wasn't really feelin' the whole "life" thing in any great capacity. And what better to do but pass the time with some obnoxiously greasy food and a horrible movie on a phone screen?

"I've always found that people who stammer have so much to think about and say that their mouths just can't keep up! Smartypants types, and she struck me as one! But taste in bad movies is just as important as smarts."

She gives a sage nod. It's important to appreciate the weird, dumb or ridiculous, and bad movies are all of those.

"But how nice! You have your brother here and a friend!"

She's not sure if he's the sort to be prone to loneliness, but who wouldn't be lonely if they were literally worlds away from everyone they'd ever known? She herself is only staving it off with all this cafe stuff. Keeps her occupied.

[skelebro]

"Two friends, even. It's a real party." That's not even goin' into the role the kids are playin' in all this but...well, the kids are complicated. He's not really sure what to say about 'em on a good day, much less now that things have mushroomed outta proportion with the arrival of several dozen impossibilities.

"But, hey. Perks of bein' jettisoned across spacetime? You get to meet all sorts of new people." He winks an eyesocket. "Really takes the edge off."

'Course, some of those new people end up hatin' your proverbial guts, but what can you do?

[notjelly]

"Well, how nice! I'm happy for you, truly."

She's maybe a tiny bit jealous, but honestly, it's pretty hard for her to default to jealousy. It's nice enough when other people have things that make them happy that she can just sort of ride on that emotion, rather than turning it back on herself.

But she does miss her sister. It's been half a month since she's even seen Kori, and she doesn't think they've ever been apart for that long.

She grins at him when he winks. "Oh, well I hope I'm one of the ones who takes the edge off! You certainly have been, though I'm not even sure there's a sharp edge to you anywhere!"

[skelebro]

Maybe she's sadder than she lets on. Most people are, when you get down to it. We all got somethin' to hide unless you've got a monkey, so on and so forth. Point is, Sans ain't got a lot in him for pep talkin', but he does have one thing in his arsenal that he can pop out without fail.

"Sharp edge? Me?" He spreads his arms and glances down at himself indicatively. He's kinda got a wide girth goin' on for him. "Have you seen me? Takin' a walk with me is the textbook definition of a round trip."

Bad jokes can lighten even the dourest of moods. Ask anyone.

[notjelly]

She has policies about maintaining a sense of positivity. Still, everyone's gotta feel down sometimes, even the most upbeat of people. The trick is to do it when the people counting on you aren't looking.

She laughs brightly at the joke because oh man. He really does look like he'd roll like a ball if you pushed him the right way.

"That's funny! See, this is why you're a bluebird! Regular Bluebird of Happiness, you are!"

The point of course being that bluebirds make other people happy.

[skelebro]

He's got no real conceptualization of what birds are like on principle - birds are singing because that's what birds do, but the specifics of said birds never really weighs down on him with any intensity since it ain't particularly relevant - but if she says he's a bluebird? Heh, fine, he can be a bluebird.

"I'm a real funny guy," he says with a shrug and a wink. Unfortunately, he's got more pages to find and potentially people to reluctantly accost to recover 'em.

He starts headin' for the door. "Can't say I'd be much for flyin', though."
