Event Log: Patron Gods

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Patron Gods event!
Where: All around the city
When: March 15th-March 20th
Warnings: The gods choose you! Whether you choose them back is your call.

It's March 15th! Whether or not you've been having a good or a bad week, the gods decided to get together and put all the characters on teams- just like in those gym classes that you always skipped! Whether or not you were the last one picked is up for debate, but until we can figure that particular mystery out, there's another one to mull over... namely, who left that mysterious note in your bedside table/shoe/fishtank? And how did you get a friendship bracelet twined around your wrist?

Regardless, when opened, the letter will say-

'Congratulations! You have been chosen! [God name] thinks you're a great fit for their team! All you have to do is spread their emotion, and you'll get a blessing - and if your team wins, you get the grand prize: one (1) request for each member of the team, no payment required! Or you can band together and request one big thing, it's all up to you! So find your allies, get started, and let's win this thing!'

Whether or not this is for real becomes immediately obvious, as you seem to find yourself yearning to cooperate with your teammates, and maybe feeling a bit competitive toward your foes. Grab a squeaky chicken or a creepy doll or a snowglobe from the shops if you like, and let's get inspiring! Of course, you aren't forced to participate, but have fun telling your teammates that nobody is going to win their wish because you decided to be a stick in the mud.

Go forth and spread joy! Or sorrow, or scare people, or just really piss them off- but whatever you do, try to have fun and build that sense of community! You're going to need it...

[...Oh. Does he not want to? Firo'd mentally prepared himself for an answer of "yes" and "buzz off, Firo, I don't want anything to do with you!" But he did not think to prepare himself for a lack of enthusiasm.

He blinks a few times as he tries to think of how to react.]

Yeah. Why not? Are you busy?

[foundafamily]

[Firo grins. Seriously? Maybe this actually will go okay.]

Yeah. I'm pretty good at it. I was thinking we'd have pasta.

[He turns and starts walking back home, expecting that Shadow will follow. He looks over his shoulder to check after a few steps.]

It goes without saying, but you know you can still come over whenever you want, right?

[foundafamily]

[Firo blinks a few times and stares at Shadow.]

What's that supposed to mean?

[foundafamily]

[Firo stops walking and plants his feet in place. What the hell is Shadow talking about?]

Where'd you get that idea?

[foundafamily]

[Firo folds his arms over his chest and shakes his head. This is coming out of nowhere to him--and it's a pretty important issue.]

How would you not know something like that?

[foundafamily]

[To be fair to Shadow, Firo has to think long and hard about why Shadow would think he was angry... because Firo so often is angry. That's a lot of incidents to sort through.]

For what? You mean how you're always poking your nose into my business? Yeah, I get pissed about that--who wouldn't? But we're still friends.

[foundafamily]

[Nope, sorry.]

I do.

[Firo sighs and keeps walking.]

Is that all that's bothering you?

[foundafamily]

What? Don't act stupid, just tell me!

[Why would it not matter? He asked, didn't he?]

[foundafamily]

[That's the big problem? Firo shakes his head slowly.]

Why's that such a problem for you, huh?

[foundafamily]

And then what? Is it gonna change anything if you do?

[And privately (or not so privately) Firo has his doubts that Shadow will ever really get what's going on with him.]

[foundafamily]

[He sighs and presses one palm against his forehead.]

Nobody's forcing you to ask them now. You get that, right?

...What would you need to know to understand?

[foundafamily]

Like what? Just because I give you answers you don't want doesn't mean I'm avoiding the question.

[Shadow's going to take that as a dodge, Firo imagines. He frowns and adds,]

People who ask too many questions where I'm from are usually causing trouble. I'm not saying you are, but there're things people just don't need to know.

[foundafamily]

I told you who owns it: it's me.

[Yes, he is going to glibly ignore that Shadow clearly asked about the previous owner.

His eyes narrow, and he spits out the next part like it's an insult.]

You know, you act an awful lot like a cop.
