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.

[Emily bites back the no she would normally have snapped back with. Does she want to talk about it? About that night, about all she went through by herself and with the others?

It's been months. Things are better now. She can do this if she wants to, right?]

No. [She can't. It's still upsetting, still painful. There's a scar on her shoulder to remind her it was all real.] Not-- not right now.

[Because Maketh is someone she can trust now, and it might be good to talk with her about it. Later, though. Not now.]

I'm gonna go. And next time you find something of mine, call me first?

[mismanagement]

All right.

[Maketh isn't sure she's the right person for Emily to tell, if she ever does. It ought to be someone who can help. Trauma has always been something she's ignored, pushed past. Bad memories don't hurt if you forget them.

Maketh nods, more to herself than Emily.]

All right. I--I'll remember.

[She hesitates.]

I didn't mean to embarrass you.

[It's totally cool if you forget, soldier mom, but Emily will remember it too. Sometimes, the person you least expect would be, is the best one to talk to.]

Yeah, well, neither did I, but the gods had other ideas.

[mismanagement]

[Maketh huffs. No matter what they do or why, the gods find some way to make it difficult. Once she'd thought it punishment for something - a form of hell, if you like. Now she has other ideas. Sadly they have not provided solutions.] Indeed. I suspect they'll claim we ought to be thankful for this soon. As if it makes up for what they've done.

[Actually, given the fun she and Matt are going to have with this, Emily is inclined to be grateful.

That and it's nice to have her kimono and to know she'll get a chance to wear it.]

Right? [She rolls her eyes.] But yeah. Thanks. I'll see you around.

[She's suddenly pretty excited to show this to Matt, though you'd best believe she's not showing that excitement.]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh sighs. Well, at least she has her coffee to calm her nerves after all this.] All right. Just--stay alive.

[Over the past few months, Maketh has been compiling a list of people in Hadriel who are not allowed to die. Emily is among them.]
