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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[See the look on this kid's face? It's one of someone who doesn't care. Learn to duck.

But Chara does wander over to get their pillow back, but they pause for a second. The sound was coming from over here, so...]

I am assuming one of those speakers are there. And an awful prank.

[At least they can commiserate on how much they both hate this prank.]

That's right. So if you want me to turn them off quicker, keep the pillow tantrums to a minimum.

[How on earth did those two manage to sneak those speakers all the way up there? Danse climbs the ladder and gets to the appropriate height necessary to reach the speakers, but darn all these books. He doesn't have enough hands to pull them out and hold them while deactivating the speakers, and he doesn't want to just chuck them down on the floor either. Readable or not, you always have to respect books.

Danse glances down at Chara. Maybe the kid can help a little?]

Think you can hold some of these books? They're in the way. I'll hand them down and once the speaker's switched off, I'll put them back up again.

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.]

[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.

[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?

[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.]

[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.]

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.

Edited 2017-03-21 15:43 (UTC)

[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?

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.

[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.]

[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.

[They haven't decided. But they do kind of hate him right now, but that's due to interrupting their almost-nap rather than any plans on living in the worst parts of town. Or Erasure.

Ahaha.

Chara just stares at him before going to get their pillow back.]

Sadly I do not have any exes to practice on. I am assuming that was your idea of a joke?

[It's awful and thus it was likely Sans's doing. The logic is sound.]

Maybe. I had a little help.

[Don't take it personally. It's just his way of takin' Tranquility's team down a notch, and hopefully givin' everybody a few laughs in the process. 'S what Delight wants, right? Spreading the joy?]

[Delight/Rage. If Chara had it in them, they'd drag out the shipping charts again. But as it stands...they don't.]

By the sounds of the other people here you are fueling the wrong God, Sans. Do we need to go over the definition of 'delight'? Because I am certain it does not mean uncontrollable anger.

[They see that bracelet Mr Skeleton. Sans might have trouble seeing what team Chara is on due to their long sleeves covering the bracelet. But he can guess. Chara will tell him.

Maybe.]

Hey, a little recreational meme-ing never hurt anybody.

['Cept for maybe the time he backstabbed 'em and then immediately twisted the whole thing into the world's biggest joke, thereby affirming that they're never liable to trust anybody who spouts the same crap ever again.

Good times. Goooood times.]

[Soooo many good times, and it's not like Chara has forgotten. Remember and resent, not forgive and forget. Kind of the opposite of Frisk in the few way that they are.]

Considering the people that may be out for your non-existent blood, I doubt that very much. Where did you find the equipment to set this up?

[Given Sans runs on Rule of Funny they're not going to bother questioning how it got set up without people noticing. So the equipment was the more interesting part.]

[More and more people are resenting and remembering. In a way, that's kind of its own relief. It means takin' less of the blame upon themselves, in some ways. Some.

But, hey. They ain't here to discuss heavy topics at hand. They're here to shitpost. And he will do so, merrily.]

Alphys is a real tech whizz.

[Yes, let us shitpost the night away. Besides the less they have to think about certain heavy topics, the better.]

....I cannot say I am surprised. Is there a hidden God of Pranks in Hadriel that we do not know of? Because between the two of you, you would be fueling it forever.

[There probably isn't but they won't be surprised if 'Pranks' was an emotion Sans had.]

If there is, we would'a willed 'em into existence by now.

[A real pity. There should be a god of puns. God of humor? Maybe that's why he got stuck on team Delight. Though speakin' of which, he lifts his be-braceleted wrist and gives it a little shake.]

Who'd you get stuck with?

[Newest UT/Hadriel theory: Sans is the God of Puns.

But that's pretty silly. Chara doesn't pull their sleeve back, and Sans is free to interpenetrate that however he wants, but they do answer.]

Hope. Fairly ironic, considering. I wonder if there is an option to swap teams.

[Annnnd they're lying. But Chara also has a really good poker face.]

[Hey, they don't wanna tell him, that's fine. Whether or not he believes 'em ain't really relevant. He shrugs, vague and easy.]

Somehow, I don't think it's as simple as switchin' bracelets.

[More that it's hard to be confusing if you straight up tell people you're on Team Confusion. But hey, it's fine.]

Sadly not. Woe betide the Gods to make an easy event for us. But I suppose this has been one of the better ones.
