Event Log: Fadeout

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Fadeout event!
Where: All around the city
When: November 15th-November 25th
Warnings: None!

The morning of November the 15th seems rather normal- that is, if you can avoid the glowing cracks in the fabric of reality tucked away among various streets. Still, they don't really seem to be doing much of anything and you can't quite see through them, so maybe they're decoration? This wouldn't be the first time the gods pulled some weird shit to shake things up around here.

By midafternoon, however, something changes. Cecily, in all her wisdom, decides to attempt to dispel one of these rifts, and the resulting shockwave sends tremors through the city. Tears throughout Hadriel open wider and allow for various demons to burst through and terrorize the various citizens. Demons will be tearing through in all corners of the city, though you can choose to avoid them if you like.

Look out for Pride and Rage demons, who attempt to brute force their way to you and feed off of your anger, steel yourselves against Despair and Fear demons who grow stronger as you give up hope, and definitely cross the street to avoid the Desire demons, who can take either male or female forms and will offer you everything you want if you just let them in.

Demons will either focus on attacking you or tempting you by taking advantage of and feeding off of your basic emotions. Agreeing to let a demon help you and mentally folding to it generally means that the demon will begin to possess you and start calling the shots- often using you as a vessel to hurt others and sow discord. If you happen to have any sort of magical abilities, extended possession can lead toward becoming an abomination after the corruption takes root.

So... you might want to avoid all of that. Luckily, there are some good things happening that can distract you- along with the demons, several nugs and fennec foxes will also pop up around the city, and if you don't want them to die a horrible death to a hungry demon, you might consider adopting them. In addition, you may find a random potion laying around- maybe this can help you fight off those demons, or maybe it'll make every nug in the city love you- or maybe it's secretly a jar of bees. Wouldn't be the first time you guys let bees in jars get a little out of hand.

[Miriam shrugs, deceptively casual. Someone like her needs to have friends in case of a pinch. And she likes Warrick. He's smart and got quick fingers. Who knows when that might come in handy?] Depends. But let's just say the gods make shit go down and I find myself needing a hand. Maybe you help me first.

[She blinks up at him. It's too late to pretend she's helpless, but there are other games.]

That'd be fair, wouldn't it?

[purpleknee]

[He spent the first twenty years of his life at his twin sister's side. He knows this game. His expression is flat, unimpressed.]

Let's settle for a tentative yes. Although you'd still rank third on the list of people here that I'd help. I'm first, obviously. Barnaby's second.

[Listen... Dogs are Amazing.]

[dogsanddaughters]

[Miriam shrugs.]

I can work with that.

[Barnaby never goes anywhere without her. She blinks through her curls at Warrick.]

You can keep 'em.

[The knickknacks he tried to steal.]

And you should let me know if you're looking for anything special. 'cause I'm good at that sorta thing. Finding stuff. 'specially stuff you don't want anyone else to get first.

[purpleknee]

[Siiiiick, useless junk. He dances them between his fingers, then starts hovering them into a small juggle.]

I can't think of anything I'd want like that. Most things don't really matter.

[These don't either, stealing is just fun. Their acquisition has definitely been ruined by Miriam's permission.]

Right now I just need opportunities to give people hope. [MAKES A FACE]
