Event Log: Why Do You Have To Be Mad?

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Rage event!
Where: All around the city
When: December 15th-December 20th
Warnings: None! Well, potentially rage-induced destruction and fighting and maybe a tiny bit of murder? So, nothing out of the ordinary.

December is usually a time of festive holiday cheer... unfortunately, Hadriel isn't the sort of place that respects holidays. Rage has decided that it's time she's given her due and has put on another event! Unfortunately for everyone in the city, this event means that all characters are given a particularly aggravating pet peeve that entirely sets them into a flying rage.

See someone sleeping? They're now the object of your ire. See a tall building with a bunch of windows? Suddenly, all those windows need to be smashed. Fights are breaking out with depressing regularity, and a couple of them might be severe enough to injure someone in a bad way.

Look out for your fellow prisoners in Hadriel, and do try to figure out the categorizations of each person's issue fast- falling into these cycles of anger isn't good for anyone and is bound to make someone mad if you treat them wrong. Conversely, instead you can just find someone who has the same loathing as you and let your feelings amplify one another; after all, the best sort of friendship is one that's formed by mutual hatred!

► This log covers December 15th-December 20th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you get too caught up in your feelings and start a fight only to see that the person who pissed you off was really good at fighting, or if someone blew up the building you were kinda living in, please let us know here!
► As a final note, if you were not sorted and you would like to be, then please let us know in response to this post!

[Firo turns when he hearts the voice.

He doesn't find anything odd in the flare of anger that shoots up when he looks at Shadow. He certainly doesn't connect it to the fact that he's talking to a hedgehog--no, instead he just assumes that he has perfect reason to be angry at Shadow. Why wouldn't he?]

None of your business. Are you following me again?

[He wades back to shore to face Shadow. Now that he thinks of it, he's been sitting on some stuff to be angry about for a while... He should let this all out now.]

Never mind. What about you, huh? Have you been taking care of yourself?

[He says it skeptically and with a tad of vicious concern, as if he's going to start punching things if the answer is no.]

[foundafamily]

[Firo completely ignores the comment on his activities for now. He had a reason, and that's enough for him.]

You think I talked to somebody?

[Firo reads that as Shadow being suspicious, which makes Firo suspicious. He laughs, but it's not cheerful or kind.]

That's enough of an answer to my question, isn't it? What've you been getting up to?

[foundafamily]

[He scowls and reaches to grab Shadow's shoulder.]

Don't lie to me! You expect me to believe that after what you've done before?

[foundafamily]

'Can't afford to'? And why's that, huh? Don't tell me you went and exhausted yourself again.

[In his anger, Firo assumes that that is what happened.]

[foundafamily]

[Firo frowns, still confused, but he releases Shadow's shoulder.]

And what's that mean? Just tell me straight-out.

[foundafamily]

Killed..?

[And here the anger rears its head again. Firo nearly scoffs, wanting to remind Shadow that he gave Firo such a hard time for being suspicious. How can he judge Firo for being sketchy when Shadow killed someone? But this is a serious matter, so he holds back. He folds his arms and eyes Shadow curiously.]

You wanna tell me the story behind that or what?

[Even angry, he remembers to add:]

You don't have to.

[foundafamily]

[Firo holds up one hand. Now his anger manifests as impatience, though it's mostly impatience at his own confusion.]

Wait a second, did you kill somebody or just some monster? You're talking about those demons?

[The "someone" had made him assume Shadow had killed one of them: one of the other captives here. But "kill it" sounds more like a monster.]

[foundafamily]

And you're making a big deal about that?

[Firo bites his lip, not sure why those words came out so bitterly. He should be relieved that Shadow's mostly okay, right? But he's still so angry for reasons he can't put his finger on.

He digs his nails into his palm. Angry or not, this isn't right. He should be a better friend than this.]

...So what's this all mean? Are you hurt or anything?

[foundafamily]

[The dismissal would have Firo suspicious of Shadow anyway. This strange anger doesn't help things.

He frowns and gives Shadow a very pointed look.]

Are you trying to distract me?! Tell me! Are you really okay?

[foundafamily]

[Firo groans and holds out his arms.]

How many times do I need to tell you? You're my friend!

[foundafamily]

[Firo's immediate inclination is to bristle--why does Shadow need to remind him of friendship? It must be just another distraction!

But that very thought strikes him as strange just a second later. Why is he so angry? He should care more for his friends than this. So he struggles past the feeling. He breathes out slowly, and he's calmer when he speaks.]

Yeah. But, you know, it's sometimes hard to get what's going on with you when you sneak around.

[foundafamily]

The phone?

[Firo stares at Shadow in open surprise. He has, of course, used the phone plenty of times. But why use it with his friends when he could see them in person?]

Why would I call you to talk? We live together!

And that's not the point, anyway. Would you even tell me if I asked?
