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.

[ He wouldn't have walked into a trap, for a start. To think that Lucifer had tried to seduce him to his side...it was ridiculous. But what had happened to Jo and her mother. If he'd known about that, he would have intervened, no doubt about it. ]

No. And whoever told you that is...they were mistaken.

Heaven is not infallible. Far from it.

No one told me that. [She shook her head, sighing quietly.]

It just makes us humans feel better for there to be someone in charge. Mostly. [There's a weak laugh.]

Except when it comes to things like "They had to make sure you were born so you could die and make sure this thing happened", that's not as nice.

[strangelic]

It isn't. [ A pause. ] But I wonder it isn't the same for all of us, angels as well. Such is our fate, ultimately, to play our own roles.

[ He lowers his eyes, and it's sad. ] It felt like we were fighting for free will, didn't it? And yet, I wonder if we weren't always supposed to, as though it is only an illusion, even now. How would we know?

[Jo sighs quietly. Free will, huh? Now they were getting into things past her pay grade, kind of. She always had assumed her choices were her own, and then she'd found out how closely she was following in her father's footsteps without even knowing...]

We wouldn't. Right? That's how it works, isn't it?

[strangelic]

[ He shook his head minutely. ]

Faith, perhaps? Desperation.

[ The sadness was still there, and it hung on him as he turned away from her. ]

Because if it were free will that caused me to do what I've done since - and free will alone - then I'm not certain I want it. I'm not sure it was ever something worth the fight.

[knifecollecting]

[She sighs quietly, frowning at his back.

Honestly she has no idea what to say.]

I hope it's worth it. For humanity, right?
