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 likes his classy spiked coffee, go away kid drink boy. Ned gives him a look, then puts down a card: a 5. Boring!!]

So your cookies with the chocolate in them turned out that bad, huh. [like....] And what do I get if I win?
queensberry: (a battering ram)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
They... [Well, they turned out something. Jacob bites his tongue, instead putting down a... 3. Really boring!!]

What do you want if you win? Another favor?
trainspotter: (and does crime)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
I already have too many favors from you. [False, he can never have too many favors. But he's racked up enough lately to be open to suggestions. He puts down a 7. Dull!!]

What else have you got, Frye? Something tempting?
queensberry: (it takes a dedicated hand)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
What exactly do you think I've been doing, Wynert? You're the one who's supposed to give me valuables.

[Hmmm... hm. He'll sit back to dig through his coat, producing a handful of sweets, a knit stress ball, a knit hat for that stress ball, a knife... He'll even take off his own hat.]

Or we can ask each other questions we have to answer, and you try my cookies out of the kindness of your own heart. [And... a 2. Because that one exists.]

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't want Jacob's hat, get that away from him. This is all getting in the way of his card game, so excuse him while he moves the pile of cards a little to the side and puts down... a Queen!! Finally.]

Pass. What is that thing? [The little sad ball, what is that??]
queensberry: (just because)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
It's a stress ball. [Look at him, actually knowing things.

He'll even squeeze it's miserable little face before he puts down two cards. A 6, and an Ace.]
You might need it more than I do.
trainspotter: (no.............)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's a what? [That's stupid... Ned puts down one card - a 3 - and pauses to reach over and poke the stress ball's sad little face so it rolls away from looking at him. Why.] I'm not stressed.

[He puts down another 3, then a Jack. Your move, stress boy.]
queensberry: (but all)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Um, his stress ball is cute!! Maybe Ned can stop judging everything he does.]

You might be when I do... this. [And it's... a 9. He's not actually sure what he's doing, but he's sure he's doing it wrong.]
trainspotter: (gestures)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe he should stop doing judge-able things?? Like that. Ned spares him the full brunt of his scorn because it is more or less a game of chance before you memorize the order of the cards in your hand, but— Jacob, please. He still chuckles, sweeping the whole pile over to himself and ordering it into his deck.]

Well, what do you know, it really is helping. I feel great.
queensberry: (i'm just a big ol' wrecking ball)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how yet, but that's just not fair. [Stupid Ned and his stupid cards. Jacob leans back, grumbling as he tossed down another 3.]

If we were playing whist, I'd sweep the floor. [What a liar.]
trainspotter: (then we'll fucken see)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
D'you even know what we're playing right now?

[Seems like maybe not... Jacob sucks at cards anyway, though, so!! Here is a 7.]
queensberry: (i am unruly in the stands)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
I know I haven't drank enough for this.

[Ugh!! At least he has a King.]

You better be delighted when you win this. You owe me something.
trainspotter: (cease)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Ned has some whiskey still?? Should they play drunk cards?]

It's always a pleasure, Frye, and I think losing a game doesn't entitle you to the favor...
queensberry: (idiot-boy-2_0073_24018554700_3284806f45_)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Why would I want a favor when I could have a drink? Don't be silly.

[Drunk cards a-go. Jacob will even get up and go grab them some coffee for it. Ned's right, he doesn't have the stomach to shove anything into hot chocolate.

He'll even get out those god awful burnt cookies.]
trainspotter: (HA HA UHHHHHH)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, there he goes. Now he really won't win, but that's fine. Ned will wait, without even shuffling the cards around on the table. He's not cheating at this specific part.

Those cookies are getting one hell of a skeptical look when Jacob comes back, though. No...]
queensberry: (of all those pretty)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
These... were... the good ones. [Jacob knows they look terrible. Jacob still shoves one his mouth and places down another face card like it's nothing.] Before my stove decided it just couldn't handle Jacob Frye.

[Or... he couldn't handle the stove...]
trainspotter: (ned never doesn't look judgmental)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Good lord, look at him inhale that entire horrible-looking cookie. Ned watches him with a kind of muted wonder, turning over a couple cards and pushing the tiny pile at Jacob like a necessary sacrifice.]

So you're saying we're going to need more whiskey to wash them down. [Here, he'll put his cards down for a moment to reach for those coffees, and wait...] What happened to your stove?
queensberry: (in tearing the place apart)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
A... little. [A lot. His cookies are terrible. There's like, one that aren't thoroughly burnt, and those are the one he will slide in Ned's direction.] As it turns out, you need to turn the stove off when you're finished.

[Who knew!! Jacob takes this opportunity to brush his hair back, like talking about baking these was hard work.] Or else it will eventually catch fire while you're enjoying resting in a bath. And the bath water will be difficult to throw over it while you're nude, half awake, and without a bucket.
trainspotter: (look at him)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[how could he miss this incredible spectacle]

Barely a week in, and you set the place on fire. [He says it like he's not surprised, picking up one of the less burnt cookies to look at it critically while he decides whether or not to eat it. Hmm.] Maybe you should stop trying to multitask with your pants off.

[He can make fun of this... for so long....... thanks Jacob!!]
queensberry: (beeper in the three way)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Or maybe I should try harder. [Jacob winks, leaning back with his coffee and shoving another cookie in his mouth. Like Ned predicted, it needed the whiskey to be even remotely bearable.]

If your couch is... available... I can only take the smell for so long.
trainspotter: (stop it ned)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Things that aren't great flirting: Jacob destroying his apartment in the first week. Ned rolls his eyes, tentatively trying a bit of the less burnt cookie... It's. It's somewhat edible.

He puts it down anyway. He tried it, he's done.]


Can't you just pick another apartment? [Hmm,] Although I suppose you're bound to ruin another stove if left on your own again.

[will he ever say yes or no, stay tuned]
queensberry: (idiot-boy-2_0066_24013723640_d8d21c2471_)

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-18 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[One bite is more than Jacob ever expected, so he can't help the smile on his face. Is he losing this game? Probably. Does he care about it anymore? No. Day: made.]

I'd probably get kicked out for ruining one too many. I could always find a nice box... You wouldn't put me out, would you?
trainspotter: (stares at jacob like this every day)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-18 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[That actually gets Ned to frown, not his usual "you are dumb" frown, but the frown of someone remembering how... eager some of the guardsmen seem to be to come down hard on troublemakers. It wouldn't do if he had to get in the middle of Jacob getting in real trouble!!

Basically: goddamn it, Frye.]


Didn't I tell you to find a good box in the first place? [SIGH...] Alright, but only until your place airs out the smell.

[He lied, lyingly.]

[personal profile] queensberry 2017-03-19 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
It might take awhile with the... lack of windows. [Were there windows? Probably not. He can't really remember, all wrapped up in being a newly adopted puppy.]

Just think of me as your bodyguard. But I hope you don't actually need one already.
trainspotter: (hmmmmmmmMMMM)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-19 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[His new puppy who isn't allowed near the stove. That's what's happening in Ned's life, now. He sits back, considering Jacob for a moment before shaking his head.]

You know what face people keep making when they find out I know you? Looks something like this- [and here he mimics the face of flat disapproval that he's gotten a whole two times now, making the track record 2 for 2.] I'm helpful and considerate.

[let that sink in]
