hadriel_logs | Event Log: Party Hard

Who: All characters participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Party Hard event
Where: All over the city!
When: May 24th-June 2nd
Warnings: Party Rockin'

Delight volunteering to go off to spy has been a somber moment for Hadriel indeed- but she doesn't want you to be sad for her! As a matter of fact, it's time for joy- and we all know that Delight's favorite way to pass the time is with a party!

So, on the morning of May 24th, she'll be trying to inspire everyone here to get their blood pumping a little in a fun way with a constant stream of partying! To you old timers here, the party will be rather similar to Delight's resurrection event, with a few notable twists.

Don't worry, don't worry- there's still going to be patent-pending Delight Energy Shots at the new bar, but with this party, the longer you go, the harder you go.

See, Rage wants to get in on the action a little too, and what better way than by exerting her own influence on the party and making it the most wild, savage bash you've ever been to? As the party goes on, and as you keep dancing, you find yourself unable to stop. It's not forced, but... you need to keep partying, to keep upping the ante. Before you know it, you've thrown rocks through windows, smashed a bottle over someone's head, and sharpened your pitchfork for that local mob you've always wanted to join.

Be careful out there. It's dangerous to get swept up in on the action- and maybe even more dangerous to try and avoid it. You've read about mob mentalities, haven't you?

Good luck, and happy partying!

[Magnus overhears a woman mention to someone else she's looking for her dog, and he instantly spits out the energy drink he was trying to chug and rushes over, definitely knocking shit over in his haste to get her attention. Glasses are broken. Alcohol is on the floor. It's a mess.]

Excuse me, did you just say you're looking for a very big dog? I'll help you find him! Please?

[He then grabs her hand suddenly and starts giving her the most energetic handshake she may have ever experienced.]

Magnus Burnsides, proficient in animal handling, professional goodboy locator. Or I can be.

[ This man is too excited. And too loud. ]

Shhhhh. [ She pleads with him, holding up both her hands. ] Yes, I would appreciate the help, but... Maker. Quieter. Please.

[ Someone inside her head has a tiny hammer and won't stop.

Oh. And the man has taken her hands. ]

Manges Burnslide. [ She repeats, incorrectly. ] I have no idea what you're talking about, but he... is a big dog, yes, and he's gotten out of the house. His name is Pup, because my husband has the creative mind of a pile of sand. A handsome pile of sand, mind you. Don't tell him that I said that.

[ He isn't here anymore, Cecily. ]

Did you say that you've seen him? Pup?

Actually, it's Mongo Birchwater.

[Hey, at least he has a sense of humor about it. But, okay, he has let go of her and is now whispering. Still very loudly, but at least it's whisper-level loud. For added effect, he's cupped a hand beside his mouth conspiratorially.]

I haven't seen your dog! But I can probably help find him! I think Pup is a great name! I'm very happy for your handsome marriage and very good dog!

[Seriously, this is the best news he's ever heard. Hotspur said there were no dogs to be found, but here it is, living proof that he can have a dog in Hadriel. His dreams are that much closer to a reality.

Magnus turns to face the other direction and starts to scream, much louder than the first try.]

PUP!!!! COME HOME TO YOUR MAMA!!!! PLEASE!!!

[He then starts whistling wildly.]

Manga. I've got it.

[ No, she absolutely does not. Luckily, he's a good sport and plays along. Not only that, but he seems enthused about tracking down the dog, and she brightens visibly at his attempts. ]

... Thank you? [ Though Cullen is gone, she imagines he'd be pleased to hear so many nice things about his beloved hound. ] Ah -

[ Ouch. The whistling pierces her eardrums and stabs into her brain. The Inquisitor groans faintly, squatting down and covering her ears. ]

I was trying to keep him inside so he'd be safe. [ She mutters. ] With so much going on in the streets...

[ He's both smart and strong, but he could still come to harm during all this partying. ]

Oh, yeah, it's definitely Manga. Manga is definitely the right one.

[Magnus nods at her concerns. I mean, the party's great, but if there's lots of noise the dog might've gotten scared and run off... Rage's influence or no, the number one thing Magnus cares about is animals. Especially dogs.

When Pup doesn't appear after a little waiting around, now that the whistling's stopped, Magnus runs right past Cecily and barges right into her home. Rustic hospitality be damned, there's a lost dog! As he runs in, he calls out behind him,]

Keep calling for him! He knows your voice better! Where do you keep his treats! Nevermind I'll find them!

[If he's not being stopped, he's going to tear through her house to look for what he needs to locate this dog. It's very important.]

[ Well, she can't remember where they keep the treats, and he's already committed to finding the dog, so she doesn't stop his renewed determination. Instead, she heeds his directives, calling out for the animal. ]

Pup! For heaven's sake, I absolutely can't scour the entire city, and I'm worried about you getting caught up in this - whatever exactly is going on outside! Pup!

[ As she pokes through the rooms of the spire, the mabari in question eventually comes trotting through the open doorway and plants himself there, waiting patiently. Like a good boy. ]

[He couldn't find the treats, but he definitely found the food, so he's grabbed that and a (clean) shirt the dog can recognize the scent of his human friend on, and he comes running back -- and there's a dog. Just sitting there.]

Pup! It's Pup! He's here! Oh my god, he's so good! Good boy!

[Magnus approaches Pup carefully so as not to scare him with the presence of a stranger, then tries for a nice pet on the head.]

Lady! I can't remember if I get her name, shit, uh, your dog's here!

[ Taking no offense at being called by not her name, "Lady" appears again, eyebrows raised. ]

Oh! Pup! [ She sighs with relief, moving to scratch the big dog behind his ears. He enjoys this, and the stranger, who he sniffs curiously. ] Thank you, Marius. I think your calling for him helped.

[ Who knows if it did, but she is appreciative for the aid. ]

He's well-behaved, but I left him at home to avoid the... well, the noise.

[Good thing, too, because Magnus has never asked a stranger for their name in his life and is certainly not gonna start now.

He kind of?? Tears up?? At the dog sniffing at him. You know, doing dog things.]

Fuck... Look at the good boy getting scritches... Ohhh... You can handle a li'l party, can't you? Can't you, Pup?

[An actual tear falls down his face, he's getting emotional because he never thought he'd see a dog again, he hasn't seen one in like a year and now this place and Hotspur told him there were no dogs here and--]

Fuuuck! I miss Steven! Again!!! Aaaaaagh!

[ This guy is a little weird. If he were from Thedas, he'd be a Fereldan. First, he's cooing over the mabari, and then he's - crying? ]

Are you all right? [ She asks, bemused. ] Er - Would you... like to spend some time with him?

[ Would it cheer him up to hang around Pup?? ]

Is Steven your own dog, then?

[Magnus wipes his eyes. He's just very emotional right now.]

Steven's my fish... I wasn't allowed to have a dog. But I wanted one! Really bad! Look how good he is!!

[Magnus wipes his tears on the dog with a big hug sorry Pup he's a mess. He's a drunk, sleepless mess.]

Pup!!! Good boy!!

A fish?

[ Andraste's tits. She almost laughs - and then does, but with more warmth than anything. Different strokes, right? ]

This one is - was well-trained. [ She informs him. ] Mabari are meant to be war hounds, so they're typically... obedient.

[ Even when their masters have vanished. Pup, though, is enjoying the attention, and his little tail wags out of control as he's praised. ]

I think he likes you. [ Cecily reports, smile lopsided. ]
