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.

trainspotter: (stop being wrong about pearl)

[Ned's pile again! He plays a three, perfectly casually.]

Luck and ingenuity. These things take time, you know.
hotspurred: (what say you?)

cards, so many cards... i'm saving us both

[personal profile] hotspurred 2017-03-24 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Are you so confident that you will succeed?

[Despite the question, Ned's already won a measure of respect from Henry; determination and a willingness to act are fine qualities to possess.

With seventeen cards in his hands to Ned's thirty-five, he decides that perhaps he ought to concentrate on the game over chatter.

It does him no good. It's only five minutes later, if that, before he's laying down his last card with a sigh. Henry spreads his empty hands in defeat.]


It appears that you have bested me.
trainspotter: (okay..............)

you're a hero

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-24 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Ned doesn't answer immediately; he hums and winks, instead, playing out the rest of the game until he's stacking the whole deck in his hand. Too bad nobody plays for stakes around here.]

A little confidence goes a long way. [Look, he even won this important card game! So, clearly.] If it makes you feel any better, Frye gave up before the game even ended.
hotspurred: (here to say)

[personal profile] hotspurred 2017-03-24 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[They have nothing to give. Welcome to cave life.

Henry raises his eyebrows and tilts his head, scoffing. Does Ned think him so petty?

Though...]


It does.

[Okay, perhaps a little.]
trainspotter: (you are missing the point of $$$$)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-24 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He's starting to think this is a pattern for cave people meeting Jacob Frye. He hums, idly shuffling the cards before he glances up again.]

You know, it's remarkable how quickly he managed to get under your skin.
hotspurred: (embarked upon)

[personal profile] hotspurred 2017-03-24 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Henry begins to bounce his leg, and shoots Ned a faintly annoyed look.]

He is a nuisance.

[And Henry is irascible.]
trainspotter: (stop it ned)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-24 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ned shrugs shortly; he won't say that assessment is wrong but...]

Well he's my nuisance and I need him for heavy lifting, so leave him in one piece when he runs his mouth. [He taps the deck of cards to get them extra precisely neat, then adds,] If you'd be so kind.
hotspurred: (no mistake)

[personal profile] hotspurred 2017-03-25 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Henry weighs that request, then straightens up in his beanbag, slipping into knightly posture.]

I vow not to break his limbs, back or neck. Nor will I dismember or gut him, or give him mortal wound.

[He says formally. Whether that is reassuring, well.]

Does that satisfy you?
trainspotter: (whoa)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-25 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Knights are so odd. Ned raises an eyebrow, considering, then shrugs.]

It'll have to do. You'll pardon me for not saying thank you for not killing my friends. [It just seems like basic courtesy, to not murder people for petty reasons...]
hotspurred: (set this price)

[personal profile] hotspurred 2017-03-25 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Henry loosens his posture, relaxing back into the soft seat.]

That is your prerogative.
trainspotter: (you are missing the point of $$$$)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-26 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, he'll take what he can get.]

Sure. Glad we're on the same page.
hotspurred: (not a stranger)

[personal profile] hotspurred 2017-03-26 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
[That's for the best. Henry gestures to the cards.]

All fours?
trainspotter: (if you would just meet me in the pit)

[personal profile] trainspotter 2017-03-28 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmm, hmm... Well, he was going to, but he suddenly has some things to think about regarding how many people have told him they want to destroy Jacob to some degree today.]

You know, actually, I think I oughta be going. [He moves to stand, tapping the brim of his hat politely.] Keep the cards; you can owe me a game.
