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 onlyHope 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.]

[Yukari gives a rather warms smile before delving into his ideals.]
I want the freedom to do my will. I seek the inner beauty of everything. If there's passion behind it, I want to see it. Chaos certainly tends to stimulate it, so I easily, willingly allow myself to embrace the Chaos, to see what rests in other people's hearts. Nothing is more enticing than watching someone realise their full potential, their true potential.
I create the arena for that beauty, by serving my Kings. Some have displayed remarkable loyalty in their final moments, some have shown surrender, but a few show me what I truly seek - the value of their core. What makes them tick, what drives them wild, what answers they bear for this world. Each person has the beautiful ability to be something truly inspiring, if they only dare to use it. And yet, so many do not. So many have it easy and relax on their haunches, lazily enjoying the world without a true spark to ignite their inner desires.
It is only by trial and darkness that one realizes what lies deep inside. The moments when one faces death, seeing everything they've fought for about to be taken away from them. That is the moment when the core awakens and they spring to fight with the most amazing beauty the world has ever known. It becomes a beautiful dance, and the thrill becomes present. You desire it, and so you will fulfill it. It brings to light your most desperate fears and your deepest dreams. And what could be more beautiful, more wonderful than that.
[But as for himself, while he indulges in the beauty of others, he has never erupted his definition of beauty. He hasn't found what springs his inner passion. The closest he's ever come to it is in the heat of beautiful, mesmerizing battle, where he lusts for blood and moves to destroy his opponent absolutely.
He still has yet to fulfill Ichigen-sama's request - to find his own beauty.]
no subject
[There's something mildly dark about the way the detective phrases that, implying that he might have firsthand knowledge of just what it entails, both figuratively and literally, to crack someone's spine that way and get them to talk.
His brows raise as Yukari... actually answers, and goes into great detail besides. It seems like he, at least, is more than willing to talk, but then again, it isn't as though there are many downsides, drawbacks, or risks to revealing certain things in Hadriel.]
That's certainly... informative.
[And unexpected. L needs perhaps another moment to really wrap his mind around the abstract concepts and clear passion of Yukari's.]
no subject
Hmm, rather interesting you would see it that way, Luke-chan. Although, I can't say I've met complaint when finding answers. Either I will find the answer now, or I will find it later. It is all due time, not cracking spines, as you put it. Although, I'm certain there may be circumstances in which immediate information is needed and thus obtained by force, I've had no need for that force. It has never been crucial to obtain the information I seek immediately. I suppose I am often graced with ideal circumstances in that manner.
[And the hesitation on L's part doesn't go unnoticed in the slightest.]
Oh, does that put you off? Although, I would say I'd be rather surprised if it does.
[He delicately pushes himself off of the bookcase as he takes a few more steps toward L, his heels clicking with each step.]
You're interesting, Luke-chan. You have a wonderful level of intellect. It's a good quality. I'd even say I'm impressed. I find such mentalities rather respectable.
[In other words, L, congratulations. Yukari has decided you're worth more to keep around and pleasantly converse with than to engage in battle. A good intellectual stimulus does seem to guarantee some level of safety from Yukari's pursuit of beauty.
He wouldn't go so far as to call it any level of friendship, though. Outside of his boyfriend, people tend to be his playthings. Yukari doesn't understand what friendship is, so... you're considered a respected plaything. In a good way.]
no subject
He shakes his shaggy, dark head briskly.]
No. It doesn't put me off. I'm just unused to seeing such ardor for one's occupation. You're very lucky to feel as you do about it, I suppose.
[He raises a shoulder in a gesture of affected uncertainty at the flattery, which he weighs against mockery hoping for an answer to reveal itself internally. Being a man who collects living playthings, himself, he is wary and sensitive to those who would make use of him in such a way.]
You're too kind... and you sound as though you don't often speak with such individuals. Are you often bored?
no subject
[Yukari gives a chuff of a laugh at the kind response. Not that he's unfamiliar with the statement. He gets it, and many similar variants, from Curufin, regularly. The difference between this kind and that kind is that Curufin actually means it. But as far as L goes, he has no reason to believe this child means it. And he much prefers it that way. Deflection is fine by him.]
Bored? Hmm... not in this life, I'm not. You're right that I don't speak often with the sort, but I do have a constant person here with whom I have frequent discussions with. So I have the outlet. But I'm always thrilled at the prospect of additional suggestions for amusement if you have any, Luke-chan. Name your game.
no subject
I suppose that I do.
[It sounds too smooth and easy to be sincere, but it's a lie that L has told often, at least.]
My game...? That's a broad question if I ever heard one, but... as preferences go, I suppose that I enjoy social games.
[It's not quite a lie, even if it's a fairly twisted truth.]
no subject
Ah, social games. That's a rather wide variety in and of itself. From Telephone to psychology. How strange, you didn't seem much to me the social type. I suppose I should refrain from assumptions, then. Do forgive me~.
[His voice lilts with a tint of facetious implementation. Unlike L, he makes no effort to hide himself behind a true facade.]
So, then, do you have a particular favourite amongst social games? Perhaps a childhood favourite?
no subject
In truth, I'm not... but human beings interest me. The way a person plays such games says a great deal about who they are and what they care about.
[He considers the question, though it sounds like it could be following on the tail of a remark that is less than sincere.]
Perhaps. I think that it depends on who I'm playing with... it's not the same, because everyone is so very unique.
[Most people aren't, L's found. Truly unique individuals are difficult to find.]
no subject
[A thought.]
Tell me, do you have precedence to this world or your last one? Is there something for you to return to? A dream you've yet to accomplish?
[It might seem out of the blue, but he has a point, he promises.]
no subject
I'm not sure why it would matter, to say as much. I suppose everyone has something to return to, and none of us asked to be brought here. The precedence would normally be for the world we left behind.
[The words are ones he thinks about before speaking, but ultimately... they're a pretty rote and standard answer. L doesn't want to seem too interesting to this individual, who is shrewder than the average man.]
no subject
Oh? You don't want to indulge me? Pity.
[Too late, L, you're already too intersting to him. Your chances of escape from that attention are now pretty low.]
And what do you suppose for those who do not have something to return to? For those whose death awaits at the door of their return? Or even for those who simply would choose here over home? Assuredly, such people exist, even here.
no subject
Not such a pity. Just enough respect for you to want to avoid wasting your time. For the people like the ones you're speaking of, who perhaps have nothing to return to... the answer might vary from mine. No humans are exactly alike.
[Just mostly.]
no subject
Is that what we're calling it? Well, perhaps you should rest assured, I wouldn't be asking questions if they were simply a waste of my time. I have all the time in the world for you to indulge me on your answers. In fact, I implore you to give me your in-depth perceptions.
[He sees your bullshit, L, and raises you ten.]
no subject
Whether or not have have the time to waste, my in-depth perceptions might not be open for the perusal of people I've just met.
[An attempt to shut him down flat.]
no subject
There, now, see? Isn't honesty much better?
[A devious smile that reaches Yukari's eyes as he observes L. He gives a faintly delighted, airy chuckle. As if he's learned some blissful little secret of the detective before him.
Ah, but now he feels so curious. Not towards L's answers, but for something different. He feels like a cat wanting to play with the mouse. He flexes his fingers a moment, almost restlessly. Like an itch he's trying to ignore.]
What do you think of war games, Luke-chan?
no subject
War games? Such as training operations?
[A pause.]
They have their place, I suppose.
[And it's a good one, but he's on guard now. Very much.]
no subject
[Poor L has every reason to be on guard. Yukari reaches up, unsheathing his long blade from behind his back and twirling it rather flambouyantly before taking a graceful fencer's stance.
If L should run, well, Yukari will just swiftly follow. It's honestly in L's best interest if he doesn't try to run.]
Tell me, Luke-chan, do you have any physical capabilities?
no subject
I do. The most relevant is probably the ability to shout to have you thrown out. This is Tranquility's base, and causing a disturbance and fighting here is strictly verboten.
no subject
Yukari clicks his tongue in mock disapproval.]
Come now, no need to be so underhanded about it. I'm only curious. [He moves a few calm, cool paces closer.] Although, perhaps you're right. It would be rather... [He inches the blade closer toward L's middle.] unseemly to attack you when you're not armed yourself, wouldn't it?
[After a few moments more, he lowers the blade, giving another disapproving click of his tongue, looking rather disappointed about the whole thing. L has actually succeeded in shutting down Yukari's endeavour rather quickly, for the moment.]
Pity. But I do have no interest in being thrown out if that is your best move at the present moment. I suppose next time I will have to bring a blade for you to wield, assuming you don't have one of your own.
no subject
The closer that blade gets to L's navel, the closer he gets to shouting for help from his team.]
It's not underhanded to enforce the rules. This is not an opportunity to try to sabotage the other teams.
[He has no intention of sword-fighting Yukari in the future, either, and it's not just because he doesn't actually have any skill in that arena.]
no subject
Rest assured, I am not here to sabotage your team's efforts. I certainly couldn't care less who wins. And if I was, well... I'm not on Fear-chan's team, so it would be a pointless endeavour in those means.
No, I simply saw something interesting and wanted to dig deeper. And indeed I received something even more interesting. Perhaps not to the extent that I craved, but I suppose it will have to do for now.
[Yukari glides his sword back into its sheath. He steps closer to L, to walk up beside him.]
I do hope you'll keep being interesting, Luke-chan. I've rather enjoyed our conversation today.
no subject
[Ordinarily, L wouldn't care who wins either, but... he's a part of this. Therefore, he wants his team to win, simply because he's on it. Near, too. So he's doubly invested.]
Sometimes it's a bad idea to "dig deeper."
[L stands his ground, but clearly isn't much of a fan of Yukari decreased proximity to him.]
no subject
[He reaches out to pat L on the shoulder.]
A man is free to judge his own course of action. Poor idea or not, it can still be beautiful.
[He gives another airy chuckle as he continues past L and allows himself to leave the library, heels clicking as loudly as when he arrived.]
