Event Log: Fourth Wall, Part One

[hadrielmods]

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!

Oh! That's right. I've seen the banners all over the place.

[He hasn't tried human food in a very long time. It should certainly be an experience! Looks like it's simply a day to try a lot of new old things! Asgore glances down at his Royal Scientist with a broad grin.]

Have you been along yet, Doctor?

[sciencelizard]

Oh, uhm, n-no. It seemed, uh... kind of busy, you know? I didn't want to, uh, intrude, or anything...

[Wait, is he inviting her?? Oh god he wants to spend time with her oh gosh oh gosh]

But uh, if you w-want some company, I'm sure it'd, uh, be okay!

[aegros]

[Alphys is not what he'd call a particularly social monster, it's true, but he has the feeling it'd be good for her to get out once in a while. And here he...has the slight realization that this may be hypocritical of him to think. He had such difficulty leaving New Home once Tori -

Well, once things well and truly changed.

Perhaps this can be a new leaf for them both!]

I hear there's all sorts of human food there! It's been so long since I've had any. I don't believe you've tried some any, have you?

[sciencelizard]

[For some reason, she feels like he won't be around very long. Maybe it's the fact that she still has it in her mind that he's dead. Maybe this is the only way she can handle seeing him here. Maybe... maybe she just doesn't know how to face him again and keep lying. She can't say.

But for now, she wants this. Wants to keep this little bit of happiness, just for a while.]

I haven't. You, uh... w-wanna go try it?

[aegros]

Certainly!

[Asgore beams. Operation "get the Royal Scientist to socialize a bit with other people, even for a little bit" is a success! Even if said operation did not exist until about five seconds prior, that does not make it any less of a success.]
