hadriel_logs | Event Log: Fourth Wall, Part One

Who: Everyone in the city + Fourth Wall visitors!
What: Part one of the fourth wall event, hosted by Fear, Confusion, and Delight!
Where: All around the city
When: October 24th-November 1st
Warnings: Visitors from other worlds!

If you're not from around here, you may be wondering what's going on. You've woken up out of the blue in the colosseum, or near a temple, or in one of the numerous other locations in the city. You're somewhere underground and it's dark, cold, and maybe a little unnerving.

Luckily, shortly after your arrival, the road below your feet begins to light up in a gentle, warm glow. The light points you in a set direction and, if you choose to travel that way, will lead you toward the center of the city, where there is a large gathering of others who are lost here like you, people who might know their way around a bit more, and even some of the gods who rule this place.

There are lights strung up on poles throughout the large clearing, casting a comforting glow onto the tables beneath them. The tables are abundant with lots of food that looks simply delicious- though, none of it tastes quite like it should. The tarts taste like green beans, the mashed potatoes like cheesecake, and the chocolate seems oddly reminiscent of steak. In addition, there are decorations artfully placed around the meeting point. If you see them moving, don't worry- that's probably just your imagination.

Also distributed along the tables are shot glasses, filled with a sludgy, yellow substance. If you're brave enough to consume them, they taste strongly of mint and will give you a much needed energy boost, circumventing the need to eat or sleep for a full 24 hours! After that, however, everything hits you all at once, so use them wisely. Some of you may remember these shots from our How Delightful event earlier this year!

In addition to all of the above, there are also party poppers strewn around the area. Each popper can jet out some strange objects- glitter bombs, seashells, plastic dinosaurs, maybe a live lizard or two- so be careful! Feel free to use your discretion on these, but remember to keep it small!

Of course, you can always not travel that way. The rest of the city has plenty of places to explore- maybe you'd like to stumble in our Silent Hill zone, have a quick look around the alien orchard, or check out any of the god temples that can inspire their chosen emotion. Be careful not to get lost in the tunnels leading away from the cave- none of them can actually move you above ground, but you may run into a few monsters on the way.

For those of you who have been with us awhile, please bear with the gods while they try to adjust around these new folks! Join in on the festivities if you like, or try to orient as many of the others as you can. Start a community outreach program, start a fight club, introduce your parents to your weird cave girlfriend- nobody's judging!

Well. Some of us might be.

Enjoy the fourth wall event at Hadriel! Once you're settled in feel free to explore the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies.

Fourth wall characters do not enter with phones so they cannot reach the network- however, if you'd like to handwave that they somehow got ahold of Mello's Newcomer guide to avoid the 'where am I/what is this' sort of questions, then feel free!

Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

Nice party.

[a shadow moves away from it's leaning against a wall to step semi dramatically out into the better light. percival's eyes flick down to jo's weapon and back up]

[strapped to his own back is a pack and bow, and in his hand a roughly treated newcomer's guide] Don't suppose there's a way out?

Of the cave? [She shakes her head, studying him for a moment.

She hadn't seen him before, but that didn't mean anything yet. She hadn't met everyone in the cave.]

Sometimes the Door decides to send someone home, but there's no way to go through it on your own time.

[he waves the guide (that seems to have been crumpled then hastily smoothed out) with a disappointed flick of the wrist] Here I was hopin' the locals had more info.

[his head tilts] Don't suppose you've seen a man runnin' around. Ye high, [a gesture] glasses, and dyed yellow hair?

[he also noticeably does not introduce himself]

Technically I think the gods are the only locals left. [Everyone else does seem to be from different worlds than the cave.

She always wonders what happened to the original inhabitants, but no one seemed to know and she always forgot to ask the gods.]

Not with glasses, no. There's a blonde but he doesn't wear glasses and he's been here longer than I have.

Tch. [his face colors instantly with irritation and he looks sidelong at the people gathered around the food and wandering about. he'd have to keep... searching]

Mages. [he mutters acidly] If you see him, stay away. Guy likes to summon demons and be a pain in the ass.

[She knows of a few people who use magic here and call themselves mages, but none of them were blond.]

I'll keep an eye out.

[a nod and percival's weigh shifts, ready to leave. but he doesn't. he'd approached sword lady precisely because of her weapon and the sure way she carried it. he on the other hand had no resources - not even his enemy]

You know where a fella can get his hands on one-a those? [he points to the sword]

I got this at Rage's temple.

[She gestures in the temple's general direction, as if that helps.]

Of course it is. [a flat tone despite his increasing annoyance. and while he follows the direction she indicates, his face twists]

...Don't suppose you know of any places that don't require bargainin' in a god's house?

I haven't seen any in the stores. [She shrugs.]

[another noise of disappointment. another thing he would have to scour for - a weapons dealer. or the back room of a shop. ...the cash problem could come later. if ever]

Appreciate the info. [percival tips his hat in goodbye. time to skedaddle]

[She'd have more if he stuck around, but the guy seems like he wants to get away.]

Yeah, no problem.
