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.

[L wasn't just a faceless finish line for Mello - he only met the other man as himself once, but it was more than most were given, a glimpse of L as a flesh and blood person. And like then, being given this tiny scrap of who L-the-person is feels to Mello like a rare gift, despite the discomfort this revelation carries with it. He nods to L in acknowledgment of what he's said.]

We can't change the past. All we can do is learn from it.

[But what is there to be learned from something like this? That human beings are capable of exceptional cruelty? Mello already knew that.]

I won't say anything, of course - not even to Near. You can trust me.

[Mello isn't a trustworthy person, mainly by nurture, if you can classify the training he received at Wammy's House as such. But L is an exception - he's important. And so is keeping his secrets.]

[L doesn't comment on the first thing Mello says, because in his mind, the past doesn't always hold lessons. He likes to think that if he can learn from mistakes, he does, on the rare occasions he makes them, but the only thing he learned from being intentionally lost by the person who was supposed to love him was that sometimes, the world is cruel in ways that have no reason behind them. That sometimes, there is no logical explanation.]

I doubt very much that it would interest Near. My methods always interested him more than I did.

[It's something L knows innately, even though he wasn't present to witness Near's cold reaction to news of his death.]
