hadriel_logs | Event Log: Patron Gods

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...

[ The click is more than enough sound to have Nora—No, the creature that looks so much like her, sounds so much like her, but with jaw distended—spin on its heel with a scream that echoes off the buildings before it takes off into the darkness, down an alley, the movement twitching, edging on not human. The Brotherhood soldier does not twist his head in Danse's direction, but lets out a grunt that may sound vaguely familiar (like Danse himself, if he could handle such thoughts) but easily written off by the oppressive darkness and how sound seems to twist here, before he takes after her, no pause or wait.

The Brotherhood soldier clearly has no interest in letting up on his target, regardless of what or who is behind him. Nora's screams continue to echo, wavering, followed by the heavy steps of the soldier. But there's no pop of a gun. However this soldier is going to kill Nora, it's not going to be pleasant. Perhaps he'll smash her into pieces, crush her slowly, and then leave her mangled body for whatever monsters haunt this place. ]

[Danse misses the similarities, his mind wrapped up in a wild panic when that scream tears through the air.

He jumps his feet and sprints after the two figures recklessly, scattering stones and nearly tripping over exposed rubble and roots. Blood pounding in his ears, fear heavy and thick and constricting his throat. He should be more careful. He should check his surroundings. He should have considered the set-up, the high unlikelihood that All the signs are there that she isn't who he thinks she is, but just the very thought that she could be hurt, that she is about to be killed, has completely wiped his mind of logic and reason.

What good has logic and reason done him anyway? If he was such a paragon of good, reasoned decisions, he should be lying six feet under with a bullet to the brain. That's what a traitor like him deserves.

He has to save her. If he can't save her, then he's not worth anything. Everyone else is dead, dead by his inaction, and if he'd only pulled the trigger like he should have then none of this would have happened, they would all have been alive--

He's lost her, but he can't lose her. Not like this. He can't have another Haylen. Another Maxson. Another Cutler. He just...can't--!!]
