Who: Open to everyone
What: #TeamTranquillity are in it to win it. Deciding to work together, the gang has taken over the library and converted it into a space for weary residents of Hadriel to catch their breath and just take it easy amid the intensifying competition in the city to invoke one emotion or another.
Where: The Library
When: March 15th to March 21st, duration of the event.
Warnings: Will Update if necessary!

[Hadriel's library has unfortunately seen little use; the books are either unreadable or cover material so random that only Hope someone who completely did not understand the concept of fun would have picked those books. Little wonder it's hardly frequented by Hadriel's residents.

But it's still a library: meaning, it's got plenty of space, and plenty of peace and quiet.

So with all the chaos erupting over the city? It could make the perfect sanctuary, a place to take a breather from the emotion wars. A place where a person could unwind over a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate, knit a sweater in peace, or even plunge themselves into pillow/blanket fort and just take a nap. A place to relax.

A place for Tranquillity.

Which is why Team Tranquillity has taken over the library and converted it into a mini R&R. Tables and chairs have been pushed to the side to allow for floor space, and comfortable chairs, sofas and even beanie bags, all in softer pastel colours, dot the empty space. A couple of tables and chairs have been left as well, so that those in need of them can use them as they'd like. And of course, the giant pillow fort bundled in one corner for people to unceremoniously throw themselves into.

The members of Team Tranquillity are all around to ensure that your time in the Tranquillity Space is as relaxing as can be. Some members are even offering services, ranging from massages to meditation, gentle exercises to a steaming hot cup of joe. Knitting classes, advice on handling emotional stress when under torture and trauma, and even some fortune-telling for light laughs.

And it's perfectly alright to drag a beanie bag to your own personal corner and just crash there for the day. No judgement from Team Tranquillity.

A message is sent out via the network to inform Hadriel's citizens of the new place in town to get away from it all. Drop by whenever, do what you need to relax and recharge. It's a stressful world out there, and sometimes we all need to take some time to chill out, right?

Welcome, to the Tranquillity Space.]

[He's the only skeleton, but sayin' as much would just be another reminder that he, uh - actually is the only one down here. He should be gettin' over it, right? Gettin' over the fact that Papyrus is probably doin' better off where he is than he ever could'a, down here.]

They're speakers.

[He forgets, sometimes, that there's a real anachronistic mess of technology down here, and the people here're even more so.]

Good at broadcasting stuff. As loud as we need to.

[And as helpfully annoying as they like.]

I might have a little song in mind.

[queensberry]

[There's probably a ton of questions to be had about the function of speakers. Thankfully, Jacob's not one for asking the details. No, he's already rubbing his hands together with a wide grin.]

You tell me where to put them, and we'll get this party started.

[He'll be the muscle for this pile of bones, lifting a speaker with every intention to put it somewhere they'd be scrambling to find.]

[skelebro]

[Good man.]

I knew there was a reason you're my favorite human.

[Don't tell Wade or the kids he said that, mind. Not that he thinks any of 'em would be surprised. That's just kinda what happens when none of 'em appear to have any self-esteem to speak of.

Newly minted partners in crime, and he gestures loosely with one hand to signify the perimeter of the library.]

Tryin' to basically set 'em up all around the perimeter. The corners especially.

[queensberry]

Oh, you shouldn't have. [+1 to Jacob's ego. He'll forget it in the wake of discovering this beautiful song, so Wade and the kids won't have much to worry about.

What he will flaunt is his excellent climbing skills. Jacob plants these speakers strategically, covering those he has to place on the floor in books, but not so many it would block any sound.

There was one by the drink stand. There was one on a shelf high above the bean bags.

There was one, dare he say it, in the pillow fort, cleverly disguised with a pillow's cover over it. Any remaining replaced books on shelves, where anyone passing by looking to do some reading would only find the lyrics of their sweet song.

Jacob comes back thoroughly pleased with himself. A true Aco-Delight.]

The charges are set, boss.

1/2

[skelebro]

[Guy seems less "human" and more "spider" with how easy he's able to mount the speakers in all the positions. No problems there, really; spiders are good folks, even if you really don't wanna find yourself indebted to any of 'em. Probably for the best Muffet ain't here.

He does a baller job settin' it up, and Sans hooks up each speaker in turn, threading the cords behind bookshelves and keeping 'em cunningly hidden as best as he can.

Then he links the whole network up to his phone, and grins, firing off a lazy salute in Jacob's direction.]

Game, set...

OTA!!! FEEL FREE TO REACT AT LENGTH

[skelebro]

Match.

[And he presses play.

Hey, Team Tranquility. Hope you don't mind your Chill Zone getting interrupted by a full frontal assault of PURE UNDILUTED MEMES. The song is gonna be playing on a loop at full volume for as long as possible, handily disrupting the quiet atmosphere.

Enjoy!]

[deceiving_is_believing]

[Shuuya's Team Fear, so he's not on this Tranquility boat, not that it would have bothered him if he was. He's always good for a laugh.

And, man, does he get one as he strolls by the library, hearing the full blast of hilarious music. He instantly busts into laughter as he listens to it. Just...]

OhmyGOD, that's so perfect! [He's almost crying from laughing so hard. He needs to give somebody a fucking medal for this.] Who did this?! This is fantastic!

[ BEST. DAY. EVER!]

[skelebro]

[Don't mind Sans. He's just perching himself atop one of the bookshelves to survey the chaos appreciably, grinning as the entire thing unfurls below him. If people are laughing, he's done his job.

For once, he's done his job.]

[deceiving_is_believing]

[Dude, it's totally hard to ignore the Skeleton sitting atop a bookshelf. Not that Shuuya doesn't find it totally cool.]

Man, this is like a video game! Do you keep secrets? What's my quest? [He's snickering while he asks.]

But really, is this whole gig your doing? That's pretty amazing!

[queensberry]

That's certainly some points for our God.

[Don't mind Jacob, either. He's also atop a bookshelf, winking in his direction before he tips his hat down over his face.

He's decided he loves memes.]

[deceiving_is_believing]

[Bookshelf people are great people! At least as far as Shuuya's concerned, noticing Jacob atop of one.]

Your God? So this is your job, then? [He laughs more.] Man, great job, I love what you did with the place!

[manofmettle]

[Right on cue, there's Danse jumping into action. The sound is disorientating, it's loud and he can't understand half of what's being blarred out the speakers. It's as distracting as it is irritating, and when his eyes settle on the laughing skeleton and and his accomplice...

...suffice to say, Danse has exhausted his chill for the day. You give ONE NON-HUMAN a chance, and of course it blows up in your face. Of course.

But there's work to be done before the yelling. First, they'll need to handle the speakers. Annnnd sure enough, he can only spot one or two. The rest must be hidden because of course they are. But what's handling a bunch of loudspeakers compared with fire fights with super mutants?

Turning around to try and spot Henry, he takes out his phone instead and shoots a quick message off:]

We should evacuate the building. I think the speakers are in hidden locations. I've got eyes on two, I don't know where the others are.

[skelebro]

[It's roughly at that point in time that the song changes to fit the mood.]

[hotspurred]

[It's a good thing that Henry isn't currently armed, because when the sudden noise begins he startles, automatically springing to his feet and his hand going for the pommel of his sword to draw his weapon. It meets thin air. He definitely does not appreciate the assault on his ears.

Then his phone chirps, and he uses that hovering hand to fish it out.]

That may not be necessary if we are quick.

[As he types, his gaze sweeps the room. When Henry spots Danse he quickly makes his way over. Wearing a frown, he immediately asks:]

Where are they?

[The best place to start is by smashing the two Danse has spotted. It will make the hunt for the rest easier.]

[elegant_and_proud]

[Although she's volunteered to help in other ways, Ikaruga did offer her assistance in serving as security. She anticipated that people from other teams might sabotage their efforts. It's hard to say which team is responsible for this noise. She's suspecting Confusion or Rage for the moment because this is odd and somewhat irritating.

She spots Henry and Danse and goes to speak directly to the pair of them. Together, they can figure this out.]

Leave the quick destruction of the speakers to me, wherever they are.

[She's already got her sword in hand for this exact purpose.]

A CHALLENGER APPEARS god i hope this is okay

[whip_poor_will]

[Oh, they get their fun for a while. But once "as possible" has reached its pinnacle of tolerance, Sans will find a familiar, crazy tall dark woman behind him.

[He is not a difficult skeleton to find, despite being so small that she is crouched when she appears, her voice a whisper but, oddly, also in his head:]

I suggest you take your business elsewhere now.

JESUS CHRIST LMAO NICE

[skelebro]

[Oh, hey. Hey there, tall lady. Don't mind him. He's gonna glance up at her, leisurely as you please, and lean back against one of the bookshelves as her voice works its way into his skull, literally.

In his thoughts. In his SOUL on top of it?

Heh.

Heh heh heh.

Nah.]

D'you mind?

[The words are placid and amiable as ever, despite the spike of uncertainty he's gotta tamp down, nestled in his SOUL.]

[whip_poor_will]

[Let's be real here -- Ravine would have been perfectly suited for Fear if she was inclined to use her "gifts" in such a way.

[As it is, the one good thing she is trying to use them for is being disrupted by their meddling.]

Not really, but quite a few people will.

[This time, fortunately, she uses her voice. It's less echo-like than in his head, but no less unsettling if you're not used to the transition.

[...Or used to not having personal space, for that matter. As Ravine seems to be right up in Sans' at the moment.]

Keep at this game of yours, and you'll make them angry. You won't like it when they're angry.

[Yeah, she went there. Tit for tat, memefool.]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Chris may or may not be quite talented with technology, and although he prefers to stay on the coding side of things he's more than capable of dismantling the speaker system. And he really should dismantle the speaker system, since he's actually not entirely sure anyone else around is even from the right time era to know how to do it.

But there are some things one shouldn't interfere in, and a classic, vintage meme is one of them.

And so Chris may or may not be pretending he's not around, sipping a cup of coffee as he hides behind some bookcases near the back of the library. Should anyone happen to run across him anyway, they'll get a small grin and a sheepish wave, but otherwise he's allowing the memes to continue uninterrupted.

At least for now.]

[skelebro]

[Hey, power to Chris if he can appreciate quality memery. And he can, as Sans knows full well. Sans, for his part, looks to be sleeping just as easy as if there weren't a nonstop pounding of an old beat being funneled throughout the library.

But eventually, he catches sight of him, even if he looks like he's tryin' to hide himself away.]

'Sup?

[somuchlove]

[Chara's not on Team Tranquility but they had come here for some peace and quiet. Just a nice little getaway from an event they honestly didn't have the energy for, beyond dropping paint on people.

Yes, Chara is aware that doesn't do much for Confusion. Do they care? No.

But mostly they've just been curled up in a corner with a pillow and a book. Feeling fairly drowsy too until....

...well, until that. It wakes Chara up really quickly and their first instinct isn't exactly the brightest. They see movement somewhere and they chuck the pillow at it.

It could be the idiots who sounded the alarm or it could be some other poor smuck. It didn't matter. Heads up, there's a pillow aimed square at your face. Better dodge.]

[manofmettle]

[He'd pinpointed another speaker on one of the tall bookshelves and had been dragging the ladder over when the back of his head gets smacked by a pillow. It's not like it's a strong hit, but Danse is already running low on tolerance for anymore antics. Turning around, he sees the kid nearby and glares a warning to not do that again, before he begins to climb up the ladder.

First things first, he needs to get rid of the speakers. Everything else is secondary. As long as he can keep his mind focused on the task at hand, he can keep calm.]

[skelebro]

[Good thing he's used to mentally chartin' the trajectory of thrown objects that look to be comin' his way. He ducks the thrown pillow before slipping behind a bookcase to shield himself from any other incipient projectiles, put he still pops out to regard -



Ah.

Chara.

They still hate him?

Either way, he tries for the old-fashioned grin and bear it scenario.]

Nice shot.

Re: OTA!!! FEEL FREE TO REACT AT LENGTH

[drabsolutelynot]

[Rosen jumps at the sudden assault of...well...he's not willing to call that music.

Noise. Racket. Absolute violation of the ear and an insult to the art of sound mixing. Take your pick.

However, his nerves quickly recover from the audible 'jump scare' and he calmly sticks a finger in one ear to try and deafen part of the sound. It is the first time he's ever felt annoyed that age has not limited his hearing range. Alas.

With the same deadpan expression that he normally reserves for unruly teenage patients who think sending him inappropriate pictures or hiding things in his office is funny, he looks about for the culprit]

Amusing.

[Not.]

[skelebro]

[Hey, c'mon, Doc. Don't tell him you've never had any exposure to memes of any sort. They're the lifeblood of the SOUL, don'tcha know? Sans is poised atop one of the bookshelves, lookin' about as innocent as a skeleton can.]

What'sa matter? Not a music guy?
