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...

► This log covers March 15th-March 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're just so mad at the gods that you'd rather die than participate, then let us know here!

Yeah I can't picture myself wearing purple. But I guess it's some kind of sign, right?

[ Has he ever made you feel hope, Connor? One thing's for sure... ]

I think Delight really suits you.

[iustitiae]

You think so?

[it's nice to hear - he definitely doesn't think so, normally.]

[devilsavocado]

You always try to make the people around you happy.

[ Even when you're not really happy yourself, Connor... ]

You've got an infectious kind of humor, you know? My friend Foggy is the same way.

[iustitiae]

I don't know about always.

[the TeamDelight is so strong he doesn't even sound that sad, just mostly flattered. (but the sadness is there underneath you know it is)]

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt hears all, he knows. He also know he shouldn't bring up last month..... ]

Hey, but you're trying. That's better than not.

[ And it also gives Matt hope, good job. ]

[iustitiae]

It's a better option than just moping around, right?

[devilsavocado]

Yeah. And the gods might not give us much in terms of upsides, but I'll take some weird competition over a disaster, any day.

[ "Disaster" is such a broad term... ]

So, what are you cooking?

[ Matt can smell exactly what you're cooking, Connor, he's just asking to be polite. ]

[iustitiae]

Well, theres some root vegetables that are maybe like potatoes but also not? I'm hoping they turn out okay. Some asparagus, couple of grilled tomatoes -- I was lucky, hunting in the orchard today.

[also real good food is a key to happiness, connor's mom taught him well]

[devilsavocado]

Sounds like a good mix.

[ Way more impressive than their usual, that's for sure. ]

Smells like it, too. I'd know.

[ He taps his nose for good measure. Obviously, Matt will know the second anything starts to burn or overcook. He's got super powers. ]

[iustitiae]

Glad I've got your seal of approval.

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt laughs. ]

Beats anything I could make.

[ Matt probably lives on salad and cereal and take-out, that's our Daredevil. ]

[iustitiae]

Yeah, well you live in New York the land of easy access to food.

[devilsavocado]

Can't deny that. It's the city that never sleeps.

[ And boy, does he love NYC. ]

It's nice to have someplace to just eat with friends though, you know? I haven't had it this nice since college, so thanks.

[iustitiae]

You need to treat yourself more often.

[he does kind of enjoy cooking -- he and ollie would take turns but it's nice to do.]

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt chuckles, self-depracatingly. ]

You wouldn't be the first person to tell me that.

[iustitiae]

Maybe try taking people's advice, then.

[devilsavocado]

Nah, us Murudock boys, we're all too stubborn for that.

[ Matt, your entire family is dead. ]

[iustitiae]

That's not a good reason, you know.

[its a little playful, but also true.]

[devilsavocado]

Yeah, fair enough.

[ He shrugs. This is totally no big deal! ]

I dunno, I'm too Catholic to give myself too many nice things.

[iustitiae]

Even Catholics can have nice things.

[devilsavocado]

Sure, but mostly if they deserve it.

[ here we have saint matthew of the hypocrite oath ]

[iustitiae]

You deserve it.

[full stop bro]

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt chuckles, tilting his head away. ]

I don't know about that.

[iustitiae]

I do. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[devilsavocado]

I'll try.
