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.]

Certainly. I will also helpfully put up a sign around me that states I do not do well with being woken up due to loud noises.

[A pillow was the nicest thing they could have thrown at him. But Dense asks a question and it's a reasonable request. Not to mention that Chara is of the same mind regarding books. Don't just toss them on the ground and leave them there.]

Fine. Hand them over when you are ready.

[Chara holds out their hands to take them whenever he's ready to hand them down.]

[manofmettle]

[At least the kid's cooperative and willing to be helpful. Danse nods and begins to pull out one book. And of course: they have to be hard covers, thick leather bound books. Meaning he's going to have to do this one book at a time. Danse winces when a blast of music assaults his ears just as he's removed the book from its place, effectively reducing part of the barrier between the speaker and himself.

If he could, he'd murder those two clowns.

Danse carefully hands it down to Chara.] They're all quite heavy. Be careful.

[somuchlove]

[If it means anything Chara has killed one of said clowns back home.

The "music" gets louder when the older man removes the books and Chara grimaces because A) it's loud and B) it's awful. Still they take the books without complaint and simply waits for him to do his job.]

Do you need a hammer as well or will you be trying for a more delicate approach?

Paladin "Dense" is the best and most accurate typo ever, XD

[manofmettle]

[Danse would normally object to a child learning how to kill at such a young age...but then again Danse normally doesn't have to deal with loudspeakers and obnoxious memes.]

The speaker's can be reused for less irritating purposes. I'll try to disconnect the wires first.

[Finally after five boos and five iterations of a rainbow poptart cat going nyan-nyan-nyan, Danse has cleared enough to properly reach behind the speaker's and fiddle with the back. It doesn't take him long before there's a final "NYAN", a loud, low pop sound, and then silence.]

Pfft! :D

[somuchlove]

[Well let it not be said that this man isn't practical. Chara gives an exaggerated sigh once the memes finally die out.]

Thank you for that. I am surprised that there wasn't a backup to this.

[Because it's Sans. A quantum physics inside a joke book, inside that was another quantum physics book and in that was another joke book....and so on. Chara wouldn't be surprised if there was something else.]

[manofmettle]

If there's any further nonsense from those two clowns, it'll be dealt with.

[Is the grim response, crackling with an underlying tension that suggests a temper that's barely being kept under control. Tucking the black box underneath his arm, Danse descends the ladder and drops it gently on the floor before gesturing at Chara.]

Pass me the books. I'll put them back.

[somuchlove]

[Wow. Looks like Sans may have a storm coming his way if he keeps this up.]

Here you are.

[Chara hands over the books right after studying the titles to see if they were anything interesting, since clearly sleep was out the window. Nope.]

Out of curiousity, how do you plan on reusing this equipment?

[manofmettle]

Thank you. [Danse begins to slot the books back in, with perhaps a little more force than is necessary. But he's still trying to keep his cool; he'd feel very ashamed to lose his temper in front of a child. And Chara helping him out actually helps to bring down some of his anger too.]

These sound devices will be locked away until the competition is over, but depending on the response and the available manpower, I may permanently repurpose the library as a place for people to destress. If I could find a recording device, then I could record some relaxing music and play them through these speakers.

[somuchlove]

[Aside from their sarcasm when Danse commented on them throwing a 'pillow tantrum', Chara hasn't really found a reason to be too agonistic towards the man. Not completely friendly but not so that they'd leave him hanging.

And honestly? That is a fairly good idea.]

I guess some good has come from this then. You can find some pieces for a recorder in the shops, if you are good at putting things together or you can ask one of the Gods, if you can tolerate them.

[They kind of doubt it, but that's mostly due to the fact that they've rarely come across someone who actually likes the Gods.]

[manofmettle]

I'll try the shops. [And that's the last book properly put into its place. Danse climbs down, dusting off his hands once he reaches the bottom.]

But if I can't recognize the components, I may have to speak with the gods anyway. Would you happen to know which god I would have to approach for electronics?

[Danse seems neutral about the gods. No apparent dislike, disgust or reluctance at the thought of asking them for a recorder.]

[somuchlove]

As far as I am aware, Hope may be your best bet. [They're tempted to make a 'your best hope' joke but don't.] A picture or a good description may help you.

[That's what Hope asked of them, along with his price. It kind of makes sense considering the Gods likely didn't know everything about the worlds that Hadriel's residents come from.

So come with visual aids.]

[manofmettle]

Right. I'll look for Hope once this whole mess is over, and I'll be sure to take your advice and prepare a suitable image along with a description.

[Chara's got him slightly impressed. The kid can't be more than twelve, but Chara's quite level-headed and demonstrates an awareness of the situation that they're all trapped in.]

Thanks. You sound like you know more than a thing or two about these gods.

[Danse extends a hand.] The name's Danse.

[somuchlove]

I have talked to them a few times so I have some ideas. And if they are aiming to keep us here I see no reason not to use them in turn.

[So practical. Chara doesn't take his hand but offers a small bow instead. That was the best way they'd learned to greet someone without touching them.]

You are welcome. And I am Chara. It is nice to meet you Danse.

[manofmettle]

[Huh. Danse withdraws his hand, observes Chara's bow with a confused expression....

...before trying to do one of his own. Danse hasn't seen anything like this before, but it's only polite to try, right? The bow's more like a bob of the head, but well, he tried. And courtesy with the youth begins with the adults.]

Likewise. I've got to deal with the remaining speakers so I'm going to have to leave you here. But if you need anything else, you'll be able to find me near the hot beverages table. I can get you a cup of tea or hot chocolate to make up for this disruption.
