Event Log: Oh Shit (B side)

[hadrielmods]

Who: All the characters in Group B
What: The event log for Group B
Where: The right side of the city
When: The evening of March 28th-April 9th
Warnings: You're safe! But you're starving. Soon enough you'll be attacked by monsters, which will probably change both of those.

March 28th brings many changes into the city. First of all, that loving, dopey feeling? Gone. But you don't have too much time to mourn your affectionate side because, in addition to the humiliation of being voted in last, Love is also getting their personalized event overshadowed by the first major citywide disaster of Hadriel.

On the evening of the 28th, the city splits itself into two for some reason, isolating the left and right halves of the city. In the right half, if anyone tried to figure out where the other half of the city went, they'd find themselves staring down a massive rock wall- which is unfortunate, because this is the unlucky side without Hope. That means that after the split occurs, the lights flicker and die, the network takes far longer to get up, and what few stores there are will no longer be stocked with food.

The first two are solved within a couple of extra hours- dim lighting and profoundly glitchy network access will be created, particularly when attempting to contact anyone on the other side of the city. As if that isn't enough, without Hope there is no new food being stocked in the stores at first, and what is there isn't exactly being kept fresh and will run out within just a couple of days. Eventually, Love will try to substitute a replacement, but the bulk necessary to actually effectively feed everyone just isn't there, so enjoy your prolonged starvation!

That seems to be the main thing to worry about it until March 30th when the monsters begin to push and prod at Confusion's ineffective barriers and break through into the main city, where delicious meals (read: you) await them. The flow of monsters from the bestiary into the caves will seem almost unending, as we're stocked up on 18 months worth of them (and any/all offspring they may have created during that time).

Try to hunt some of them if you can, but watch out for the poisonous ones! It won't take long for hunger and thirst to start to settle in, so you might want to act fast. Additionally, since Hope is not present, there will be no revivals until the end of the event. You can deal with a minor permadeath setting, right?

Her faith in them and what they say isn't absolute by any stretch of the imagination. She's waiting to see for herself. However, she's taking the attitude that they're probably still hiding things, rather than doubting that anything they say is true. She does believe Hope in his basic descriptions of them - more solid beings than the gods, that they outnumber the gods and residents of Hadriel, that they use technology. There's no point in bothering to ask the gods any questions about anything if one assumes that everything they say is suspect.

"That makes sense. I do hope that their exercise in having us on teams might give them ideas for more acceptable ways to inspire certain emotions in us."

A healthy mistrust in just about everything down here. Yeah, that's bound to go over real well. Only the gods ain't given 'em much reason to trust much besides the basics. They're usin' the lot of 'em as batteries, more or less, to generate whatever emotions most feed 'em.

Ain't exactly what you call a symbiotic relationship.

"That's the general notion, yeah. 'Least everybody's workin' together now."

For however long that's gonna last.
