Event Log: All You Need Is Love

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for Love's resurrection event!
Where: All around the city
When: March 25th-March 28th
Warnings: Self-love (not that kind), outpourings of affection for friends and loved ones (maybe that kind), general good feelings

On the morning of the 25th, everything in Hadriel gets just a little nicer. Or maybe that's your outlook - after all, loving yourself makes it a lot easier to love everything else. That's right, Love is here, and it's time to get your self-acceptance on. From the moment of Love's revival, all the inhabitants of the city will feel a sense of acceptance, appreciation, and love for themselves and for the people around them. They'll be more inclined to give themselves a break, more inspired to show their affection for their loved ones, and more likely to forgive enemies - or at least ignore them, rather than start fights. Overall, the air in the city is full of love! It's up to you whether this affects your character strongly or not at all, but it won't force them to do anything extremely out of character - it will only gently push them toward expressions of love, both platonic and romantic.

Along with this warm, pleasant feeling of love comes the hot springs you all voted for. It appears near the lake, not far from Love's temple, walled-in but with no roof except for the (separate) changing areas. Within you can find a few different pools of differing temperatures, all the better to soak all your worries away!

In addition, all throughout the city you'll find new items in the shops for a short time. Anything that might help express your love for yourself and for others - fluffy blankets, stuffed animals, snuggies, exotic-smelling candles, and some nice bubble bath and skin care products will be left on display - everything in a nice shade of light pink, of course. The buildings will be draped in pink streamers, and you'll also be able to find a variety of delicious sweets - stuff yourself or feed them to your significant other, or maybe leave them on the doorstep of the person who you wish was your significant other.

Enjoy all this love filling the cave, and give yourself a break! You're gonna need it.

[How dare he... Ned nudges his hand away, reconsiders, and tugs it down for a saucy handholding revival.]

What can I say? You really did a number on me. [apparently, somehow,]

[queensberry]

[Saucy handholding revival has Jacob looking at Ned like he still can't wrap his hand around not waking up with a face full of soup. It's soft, and stupid, and one of the many reasons he won't be able to look Ned in the eye later.]

It's about time you've noticed how much I like you. [Or rather, he notice how much he liked Ned, but that's besides the point.]

[trainspotter]

[Just shut up and hold his hand, Jacob. Ned is trying very hard to not make a big deal out of this, and instead just hold hands and cuddle a little until he loses his nerves and very suddenly has to go to sleep. Elsewhere. Alone. He's doing what he can.]

Oh, I noticed. [Did he?? Uh, yes, because he isn't blind or deaf or stupid, and there are only so many reasons to flirt as hard as Jacob doesn't realize he's doing. So really, it's about time he did something about it, like letting kisses be favors.] You're about as subtle as a sledgehammer, you know.

[queensberry]

Oh. [Should Jacob really be surprised?? No, but he liked to think it wasn't stupidly obvious as it was. He didn't even realize what might be flirting until it was all said and done, but he's not about to admit that.] ... Well, I do like to make an impact.

Have... you known... since we got here? [How terrible at this is he...]

[trainspotter]

[Wow... this guy... Ned shifts just barely to give him a look, trying not to smirk too hard. This is Jacob's urgent concern??]

I figured it out along the way. [does that help your ego, boy] Why, what does it matter?

[queensberry]

I just imagined I was... more... [Jacob tries. He really does. But all it results in his deflated shoulders and dropping his head back on Ned.] I don't know. Roguishly charming. Not entirely falling over Ned Wynert.

[trainspotter]

[Aw, he's lame, that's cute. Ned reaches up to hold his face again, since he's there. Jacob is sweet!!]

Maybe not entirely. I think you're charming. [In a doofus way, but he'll leave that out for Jacob's sake. He shifts again, nudging him lightly with his shoulder to get him to look up. Come here and kiss him.] You did good.

[queensberry]

I could do better. [When he has plans beyond just wanting to kiss Ned, you see, he's got this. He'll think of something. For now, he will give up and lean over and kiss him... and again...

And one more time, because he's a sweet doofus.] I will do better, and less obviously sweep you off your feet one day.

[trainspotter]

[Despite how silly this is, Ned can't deny that Jacob promising to do better, whatever that means, appeals to him in some odd way. Just the fact that he would try... he's really too sweet, from kisses to half-formed plans and back to kisses.

They can probably handle this. It's completely fine. Ned hums, and works his hand into Jacob's hair instead of touching his face.] Be careful about that—I'm not too keen on big surprises.

[Give him advance notice for this grand seduction. Like, wink or something.]

[queensberry]

I'll be sure to give you a heads up for when I'm about to be irresistible.[Aaaand, he winks. See, he's got this.

Jacob laughs, shifting to rest both arms around Ned and go to steal, you guessed it, one more kiss. He is a big, sweet baby, who apparently needs one every another minute.]

[trainspotter]

[Jacob is a darling and he can have all the kisses he wants, tonight. It's on the tip of Ned's tongue, to make a vague allusion to tomorrow, because for all these promises to be irresistible at some unknown later date, tomorrow is a lot more tangible.

He'll ask tomorrow. Or some other day. He's into kissing, and at some point fidgeting his rectangle up between them to snap a very flattering picture of Jacob from like, 3 inches away. Nice.]

[queensberry]

[Jacob is so into just cuddling here and kissing Ned that it takes him a few seconds to realize he snapped another dumb picture. First of all, how dare him. Second of all... he's laughing again over it.]

I get to pick the colors. [filters,]

[trainspotter]

[Well, it's such a good picture that Ned is already chuckling over it as well. God, isn't he just a treasure?

He turns his phone around wordlessly to let Jacob pick the filters, wordlessly because he's too busy looking away to laugh even more.]

[queensberry]

[It's hard to pick filters when they're both laughing like idiots. Jacob finds it's hard to stop now that Ned is, swiping through them all before settling on the vintage filter. Beautiful. Stunning.

He manages this, before he just drops his head back on Ned to wheeze. It's terrible. They're master criminals.]

[trainspotter]

[It's getting even worse... Ned knows he can't look at the newly filtered version without laughing himself to tears, so he won't, he'll save it for later. Jacob will have to hold onto his rectangle now, as he's busy sliding his arms around him and laughing into his shoulder.

Photography is amazing... the future is bright.] Like I said, you're gorgeous.

[queensberry]

[One day, when Jacob discovers how to change phone backgrounds, it will be all that Ned sees. For now, Jacob locks the phone so it'll be the first thing he sees when he opens it again. It's all he can do as he's trying to catch his breath, really.]

If that criminal mastermind deal doesn't work out, at least you have this to fall back on.

[trainspotter]

[His picture-taking skills are legendary, already. Such a crisp picture of 80% of Jacob's face. He's an artist. An artist still laughing quietly while they both calm the hell down here.]

You've got so much faith in me. Thanks. [He doesn't care... He cares only about sitting up some so he can nab a kiss or two.]

[queensberry]

You're-- [welcome. Jacob puts up no protest, setting the rectangle down so he can hold him into kissing this time. To think, he didn't know what he was doing like, two hours ago. He hasn't drooled once.

So it's a kiss or two, or three, because he's very proud of himself. His face is flushed red from laugh so hard, but it's fine by him.]

[trainspotter]

[It's fine, it's all fine, they're just kissing... These sweet little kisses can continue until Ned remembers Jacob is hot and considers climbing him like a tree, which is as good a sign as any to quit while he's ahead. Aha. Hmm.

Well, he doesn't feel like going anywhere, so he'll just break off from kissing and lean on Jacob's shoulder again. This sure is a day.] Might be time to get some sleep.

[queensberry]

[Jacob can go like this all night just kissing... at least, he thinks he can, but he'll probably pass out at some point. Excuse his tiny disappointment as he leans back, removing one of his arms around Ned to allow some escape eventually.]

Tapping out early, are you? I can't blame you, since I am now a kissing expert. [sure, jacob]

[trainspotter]

[Jacob can't go all night, don't lie to him. Ned sits back upright and then stands up, since he might as well get this over with before he loses his self control. Ironic that he thought he'd be itching to go to bed, and now it seems like a damn shame. Well!!]

You're alright. [He'll even lean back down for one more kiss, for the road.] Don't stay up too late thinking about me.

[queensberry]

You say that like you haven't made it impossible. [One more kiss!! It's enough for Jacob to get that big, dumb smile of his back again, with an added bonus: looking at him like he is the light of his life, after one whole day.]

Don't stay up too late thinking about me. [He says, like he's certain this is a problem Ned will have with his expert kissing abilities. Jacob Frye, who can totally stay up all night, yawns and lays back on the couch.] Good night, Ned.

[trainspotter]

[Looking at him like that is what's really criminal here, from these masterminds. He just... won't think about that too much, here on day one, instead ruffling Jacob's hair before he actually moves to go off to his room.]

I'll do my best. Go to sleep, Jacob.
