hadriel_logs | Event Log: The Seven Days of Hadriel

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Prussia's not exactly eager to get home as he says he is anyway.]

Yeah, Fear seemed pretty messed up, too. That bit probably wasn't for show.

[But it'll take a lot more than that to get him to trust them.]

Wait, don't they have TV where you're from? Like at all?

I am not certain how much I believe about their claims that they are unable to send us home, but I do believe that they are desperate and that they do need to keep us alive for their own purposes.

[She doesn't trust them much, but they have provided necessary things for survival, and some basic comforts.]

I have no idea what TV is. Describe it for me, please.

Maybe. Could just be for entertainment for all I know.

[He doesn't say that with much conviction. He doesn't know why they're here and can't even imagine what they would all be needed for.]

Oh, um... [It takes him a moment to come up with a good, but simple description.]

Imagine someone putting on a play, and recording it with the video function on our phones. It's like that, only, like, a much much bigger scale.

They feed off of emotions, therefore they need beings capable of feeling emotion in order to strengthen them. Some of the gods make deals in exchange for things they give us. I asked Tranquility for a guitar and was asked to make six people feel calm in exchange for that.

[There are few things she'll take the gods completely at face value on - that they feed off of emotions is one of those things.]

Oh. I see. That reminds me of the movies from my world that one might watch using a lacrima crystal.

So that's how it works. Hey, I suggested that maybe if we could all pick one feeling and stick with it, y'know, really pump them up, maybe that would power them up enough to get us out of here faster.

[This is a stupid idea.]

Oh, so you have movies! Yeah, they're pretty similar. Just they tend to be like half an hour or an hour long, and serial. Man, I'd kill for some movies or TV to watch here some days.

[That's not going to go well, and Ikaruga could list off any number of reasons, but for now she's just going to be polite and stick to a topic they can make more polite small talk about.]

People's antics over the network provide some degree of entertainment sometimes, but you are right. Movies would be nice to have here.

Seriously! Any kind of entertainment, really. As much as I want to get out of here, I can't think about just that 24/7. I guess if we wanted to import some, we'd have to ask the gods...

[He huffs in annoyance.] I hate having to be so reliant on 'em for everything.

[In that case, she has both good and bad news for you, Gilbert. But it's best to clarify what can and cannot be done.]

The gods are unable to bring specific things from anyone's worlds here. They can make them exist with their own power if one provides a specific enough description. Tranquility made me a magically powered guitar and microphone in exchange for making six people feel calm, for example, but he would not be able to bring sheet music for songs from my world.

[She's actually pretty pleased with said guitar, though. It reminds her a bit of her old friend's, minus what he was able to do with it magically.]

They can produce raw materials with far more ease, in effect making us produce many of our own goods and entertainment.

Raw materials, huh... but stuff to create your own entertainment.

[So no TV or movies. Too bad. Music wasn't a bad idea at all, then.]

So they got you a guitar? So that means they could probably get me a flute, right?

[But then he'd have to do the gods a favor. He frowns a bit thinking on that part.]

I would imagine so. Just consider what emotions you don't mind trying to evoke in others, and pick who you want to make a deal with that way. I chose Tranquility because I tend to have a calming influence on friends, so I knew it would be easy to fulfill my part of the bargain.

[That, and she likes Tranquility. Tranquility is pleasant to deal with, so she's perfectly content to make further deals with him.]
