Event Log: The Seven Days of Hadriel

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Seven Days of Hadriel event
Where: All over the city!
When: April 17th-April 23rd
Warnings: Delicious food, a week full of fun, and nothing terrible at all.

After everything that went down when the city split, the residents of Hadriel deserve a break - and the gods are trying to give them one. For a week, each god will be taking one day to throw an event of their choosing. Nothing is mandatory, nothing is designed to manipulate, so relax and have a good time!

On April 17th, Hope is holding a grand feast. The dried and canned food usually found in the shops is replaced with tables of freshly-made dishes, ready to be eaten. There are foods of all kinds here, familiar and very strange, and each different one is marked with its ingredients. There's bound to be something you'll like, so stuff your face, take a box or three of leftovers home, and gain a few pounds!

On April 18th, a racetrack appears near the moped lot, and Tranquility starts holding moped races! There will be quite a few different races held across the day, so stop by any time - drawn by the thrilling revving of moped motors, no doubt - and race your fast friends and your furious enemies for the grand prize: bragging rights.

On April 19th, Rage takes over the arena for that most brutal and vicious of fights, a pillow war. Anyone stopping by will find stacks of pillows of various shapes, sizes, and densities, all ready to be pick up and used to wallop the person next to you in the face. So work out some of that aggression!

On April 20th, Confusion sets up her hedge maze near the orchard. This twisty, confusing labyrinth can keep you occupied for quite awhile - though if you get too confused or lost, you can always tap out and be instantly transported back to the entrance! Do your best, though, and you might make it to the end - where two lucky winners get a magical compass prize, and the rest get, well, a less magical one. Your two lucky winners this time are Sans and Richie Gecko! Enjoy your prizes!

On April 21st, Love is ready to help all of you find a little more love in your lives. Stop by the Speakeasy (the owners of which are super stoked about this) to get the name of someone to go on a romantic (or platonic!) date with. Successful dates not guaranteed, but Love is not terrible at their job - the name you'll get will, at the very least, be someone you can get along with.

On April 22nd the library gets a little livelier with Delight's open mic! Stop by to show off your singing skills, display your master poetry craftsmanship, or tell a funny story. Got another talent you want to show off? Sure! Jugging flaming batons, messing up amateur magic tricks, sword-swallowing - everything's welcome!

And finally, on April 23rd, Sorrow will close the week with a formal masquerade. Masks are not required, but formalwear is, and can be found throughout the shops. Spend the evening listening to tasteful music, nibbling at refreshments, and maybe finally getting a dance with that guy, girl, or non-gendered being of your dreams. Dance the night away, assured that no one will be turning into a pumpkin, and wake up the next morning feeling relaxed and appreciated for all that you've done for the gods.

Attend all the events, none at all, or just a few! It's entirely up to you.

Comments

23rd.

[circumitus]

[Inappropriare footwear with fancy clothes twinsies! Wearing combat boots along with her own dress, at least someone gets Rey around here.

[But really, who is looking down at people's feet? Rey sure, obviously, does not care when she catches sight of Ellie among the ball setup. Grabbing a non-alcoholic beverage from the refreshment area, she offers the drink to Ellie. She holds it out like a sort of peace offering or something.]

Apologies, for how things were a few weeks ago.

[Of course, she's referring to her behavior during Love's revival. She's still peeved, given that they chose to arrange their dating charade at her Speakeasy, but that's got nothing to do with now.]

reyyyyyyyyyyy

[survivorsguilt]

[Ellie is a master at being sullen, but she's not so good at holding grudges. Especially when it wasn't a big deal in the first place, and Rey is offering her an apology gift... Aw, heck.

She accepts it, and offers Rey a subdued nod.]

It's, um... It's fine. Totally forgotten.

[The atmosphere is kind of awkward, and she doesn't want it to be, but she doesn't know how to change it, either.]

That's. That's a nice dress.

[She actually knows fuck all about clothes, but it feels like a good thing to say.]

she feels bad okok

[circumitus]

[It's Rey. Ironically, she excels when having to kill something. But when it comes to most social norms, she's about as inept as they come.

[She blinks, as though she's trying to think of what normal people say in this totally normal type of situation. Which isn't normal​ at all when you're Rey.]

Ah. Thanks. My, um. Date picked it out. She's here, too.

[Because Rey isn't entirely sure she's ready to admit Bianca to "girlfriend" yet, even if that's what she is.]

shes such a good

[survivorsguilt]

[At least they're on the same level when it comes to floundering.

Ellie is just kind of politely listening and internally panicking about how to keep the conversation going- and then Rey says 'she', and it's like she just fucking perks right up, eyes meeting Rey's.]

That's cool! That's awesome.

[She's not alone. Nice. It's not something she wants to put into words, but it's reassuring to know.]

<3

[circumitus]

[Rey's brows shoot up, nonplussed at Ellie's sudden and apparent enthusiasm about whatever she just said.]

Guess so.

[Pause.] Did you come here with anyone, or are you by yourself?

<333

[survivorsguilt]

[Oh my god, she berates herself, cool it.]

By myself, I guess.

[The 'I guess' definitely makes it sound less pathetic. For sure.]

I mean, I've seen a bunch of people I know, though. Even danced a couple times, which is just... not what I thought was gonna happen. It's been cool.

[circumitus]

So you're technically not alone.

[That's not how it works, but does Ellie know that?]

Ever been to one of these types of things before?

[survivorsguilt]

[She does not. Rey's words make her feel better.]

Nope. First time. First time in a dress, too.

[It's a big day.]

[circumitus]

[Oh goodie, it's a big day indeed. Rey has a lady date and Ellie's in a dress.]

Not the first time, here. You get used to it.

[If you can believe Rey to be a dress-wearing type at all.]

[survivorsguilt]

[Whoopee!!!!]

I don't know... It's kinda hard to imagine. Feels like I'm about to wake up and realize I dreamed it all up.

[Good food, happy people, fancy clothes- what the everloving fuck, honestly.]

But if you say so, I guess I can believe it.
