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.


► This log covers October 15th-October 19th.
► Feel free to make your own logs, as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you somehow manage to die in this event, please let us know here, and also what the hell?

[It does sound weird. But, well, so do a lot of things about other worlds. So Kain doesn't get too weirded out, even if he does raise an eyebrow at the the thought of going around poking through garbage for items.]

That seems somehow inefficient, to have to rely on whatever's thrown away. There's no way to reach the surface and find whatever you want that way?

[But he's certainly aware that it can be more complicated than that, not so easy to leave.]

Well... n-no.

[She forgets, so quickly, that monsters don't really exist anywhere else. That what happened to them is a small footnote of a lost history.]

Our race was sealed underground t-thousands of years ago, by humans, because they were afraid of us. So we can't leave. The Barrier stops us from getting out. You need a human and a monster SOUL to e-escape, and seven human SOULs to b-break it.

How terrible, to be sealed away from the sky... But you don't seem like the sort of monster that needs to be sealed away.

[Which they technically are, here, but he's trying not to think about that too much. Though surprisingly, monsters aren't too unusual for Kain and he thinks about this for a moment.]

Not that it always works out too well, though. Where I'm from, there were vicious monsters on the surface that we often had to fight. Then there are the Eidolons, monsters who live in an underground world called the Feymarch... they're more reasonable, at least, to summoners.

I've gotten the impression from other worlds that most humans think monsters are unstable creatures that can't be r-reasoned with. But monsters aren't like that at all. We c-can't even do damage to you if we don't want to. All monster magic is determined by intent.

[She imagines monsters must have gained such a painful connotation for humans because of legends about them. That the stories of monsters being scary came from the old, fake tales about monsters being vicious and the war.]

Humans are a-afraid of us because, uhm, if a human dies, a monster can absorb their SOUL. So they think we would kill them for p-power. But no one ever has.

[personal profile] dragoon_pride 2016-11-11 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it? I've certainly come across plenty of monsters who are only out to harm humans, or anything else that gets in their way. I've fought too many to count who were like that.

[He raises an eyebrow in surprise about the notion of souls being absorbed. What a strange concept.]

Apparently our worlds differ in many ways. No one can absorb another's soul, where I'm from. That seems like quite the power, though. Isn't it tempting for monsters to simply go and absorb human souls?
sciencelizard: (« [Fidget] tiny claws clackin together)

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2016-11-16 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
It seems, uh, a lot of other w-worlds monsters are like that. But we aren't. Nobody actually w-wants to absorb SOULs. It turns you both into... a horrible abomination. And you can n-never separate. It's great power, but it's... the l-loss of your self. And it comes with the death of another person. No monster would have the intent for that, unless it was... supremely important. That's why it's only ever happened once in monster history.

[It's complicated. Very complicated.]
dragoon_pride: (talking)

[personal profile] dragoon_pride 2016-11-20 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Only once? Hm... Impressive that you've managed to prevent it so far. That sounds like a fate worse than death, to lose yourself so completely... no power is worth that.

[Kain's expression becomes very disturbed for a brief moment, as even the whole concept of it repulses him on a level beyond anything else. He tries to shrug it off, at least there's no danger of it here, as far as he knows.]

Now I understand why you're separated from one another, though... it seems you monsters don't mean to be a threat.
sciencelizard: (« [Thoughtful] Careful consideration)

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2016-11-23 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Well of course n-not! No monster would do it unless absolutely, y-you know, pushed to their own deaths, or were really, really desperate.

[Or... meaning to do something incredibly noble, for all monsterkind. A grand sacrifice. The one thing most monsters didn't even know happened.]

Monsters, uhm, d-don't really do anything threatening, at least, in my opinion. All our magic is structured by intent. If uh, we d-don't mean to do harm, we don't, really. Monsters naturally don't want to hurt people.

[personal profile] dragoon_pride 2016-11-24 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
When facing certain death, it's hardly surprising that they might resort to such extreme measures.

[Ends justifying the means and all. It's not impossible. Kain can certainly appreciate this outlook.]

It's strange to hear that, after encountering so many hostile ones, where I'm from... but I'm willing to believe you. You don't seem hostile, after all.
sciencelizard: (« [Small Smile] What Doesn't Kill Me)

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2016-11-30 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles, very small, not quite meeting his eyes.]

Well, uh, t-thank you. Honestly, we don't mean to hurt anybody. You might know, uh, Sans and Papyrus...? They're friends of mine. From uh, b-back home. If you know them, uh, you can probably tell how much d-damage we can do.

[Which is a negative six, because Papyrus is a marshmallow and Sans has the consistency of a marshmallow, aka, a melted lump.]

But, uh. I appreciate it.

[personal profile] dragoon_pride 2016-12-02 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
I’ve not met them, no… but I haven’t been here very long yet.

[Very interesting, though, to know that there’s been so many monsters taken here, for some reason. He really does wonder about this place more and more, and the gods’ motives.]

And it’s fine. I’ve been through too much to dismiss all monsters as a danger. [Just the ones that don’t talk and attack on sight, basically.]
sciencelizard: (« [Embarassed] too many compliments yo)

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2016-12-05 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, uh, Sans t-tends to talk to a lot of people, and uh, Papyrus is part of the guard, I think! So, uh, you'll probably see them. They're skeletons. I think the only ones h-here? So they're pretty, uh, hard to miss.

[To be fair, though, even in the Underground she could just say 'the skeletons' and most monsters would understand. There weren't a lot of skeleton monsters in the Underground. Nobody really knew why.]

But, uh, it was nice to meet you a-anyway. Sorry for, uh, taking your thing.
dragoon_pride: (sir stands-alone)

[personal profile] dragoon_pride 2016-12-06 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Interesting... I didn't realize that it is possible for people... well, individuals... to arrive here from the same world.

[Skeletons. He's also used to the undead being shambling mindless threats, so this is a very new concept for him. He's fought countless undead while on that mountain. But if monsters can be like normal people, why not?]

It's fine. You didn't know at the time that it was mine, after all. I'm just glad I noticed it, it's very important to me...
sciencelizard: (« [Shy] I'm not that great...)

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2016-12-08 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's a l-lot of people who seem to know people from home. Sometimes they come in at, uh, different points though, or, uhm, r-remember slightly different things? But uhm, I'm glad you got it! Especially if, uhm, it's important t-to you.
dragoon_pride: (mountainous angst)

[personal profile] dragoon_pride 2016-12-10 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... it was a gift from someone important. [Kain looks down at the dragon figurine thoughtfully.] Interesting, that people can come here from different times... It seems like it would be confusing, at times.
