[OPEN] EVENT LOG: BAD MOON RISING - WEEK TWO

[asgardmods]

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Bad Moon Rising: Week Two
When: Days 323-326 ( September 8-15 )
Where: All across the city.
Rating: PG-13. Anything that might go higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ You've been on edge. Inexplicably, so far as you can tell in the moments after those short bouts of quick, sharp anger you've experienced in the past few days - but maybe it's simply stress from the recent attacks on the city. Perhaps some rest will help, or a nice day at Folkvang to decompress and gather yourself.

Whatever you try, though, the odd feeling of being off stubbornly lingers on. Anger is joined by discomfort, the shadows in the corners of the room just a little bit darker than usual and did you see something dart down that alley way? The hallucinations creep into every day activities, paranoia and snappishness leading to insomnia and sleep deprivation. Try as you may to ignore it, the symptoms only seem to escalate over time. Maybe it's stress. Maybe it's something else entirely.

But it's stubbornly lingering on. Perhaps some rest will help ... ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for Week 2 of the Bad Moon Rising event! Characters will start experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations alongside vivid violent thoughts at strange, innocuous moments. Some characters may start sleep walking and heading towards the Gate of Fog; none will make it, however, so lock your doors and keep an eye on your friends. Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] along with the time/location in your comment titles. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns! ]

Comments

[kuramaless]

Oi, really?

[That surprises him. Not that he's sure why. He shrugs though, folding his arms and leaning a little closer.]

So er-- which God place you live in?

[etoaktagamat]

Yes. Really.

[She's not surprised by the question. That's come to be a staple here.]

I am in Thor. What about you?

[kuramaless]

Freya...

[He just hopes she doesn't ask the question that tends to come next about abilities.]

It's kinda cool?

[etoaktagamat]

[Leeloo doesn't really care about the abilities here so she doesn't have a need to ask. She just takes another sip of her water.]

In some ways. It is.

[kuramaless]

Er, My house or yours?

[etoaktagamat]

Most of them.

[She misinterpreted what he said as a question so she went the natural course with it, which was assuming it was an invitation to comment.]

It is a very unusual thing, but like most of those things they also hold interest.

[kuramaless]

[Okay, well done Leeloo you've managed to baffle him.

Not that it's too difficult.]

The Houses?

They're pretty interesting I suppose?

[etoaktagamat]

This whole place is unlike any I have seen. These houses promote individuality.

[She thinks it's obvious, but she's also unaware of just how confusing she can be.]

[kuramaless]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy, huh?

I don't mind it though, as long as everything goes back to being colourful and whatever and we can go home.

[etoaktagamat]

I need to get home so that I may finish the war I am fighting. This place is not something I trust, even with the benefits it allows.

[kuramaless]

You guys are fightin' a war back home, too?

Mn, this place ain't that bad. I mean, it sucks. Sure but er, I like it.

[etoaktagamat]

I sometimes like it too. Now is another one of those good times.

[kuramaless]

Yeah? I'm glad. 'Course it'll be even better when the ramen gets here!

[Which is when he looks over his shoulder to check if anyone is coming... and glumy turn back to pout at Leeloo.]

[etoaktagamat]

[She's never seen a man pout. So used to Corben instead of others that it throws her and for a moment she isn't sure what to do or say.]

They are just making sure that it is done well. Your appetite can wait.

[kuramaless]

[He's not much of a man quite yet. Not that he's bothered, unless it comes up in conversation. What she says makes his shoulders slump.]

Yeah. I'm just real hungry, y'know?

[etoaktagamat]

Waiting will only make it better when it arrives.

[Somehow she finds his behaviors endearing.]

[kuramaless]

[A huff, and he shoves his elbow on the table, propping his chin up in his palm.]

So... what do you wanna talk about huh?

[etoaktagamat]

What is there to discuss? I am mostly just interested in this ramen that you say is so good. The last time that I ate anywhere a man bought me a meal that I could not afford myself.

[kuramaless]

Huh?

This place ain't that expensive, y'know?

[His hand drops against the table, and his eyebrow arches.]

[etoaktagamat]

I was new and had only just arrived. No job. I had not even settled into my place at Thor yet.

[kuramaless]

Oh.

Guess that explains it, huh?

[etoaktagamat]

It does. He was nice just as you are.

[kuramaless]

[All the blushing.]

Uh--

Well, you know. It's nothin'?

[etoaktagamat]

[She doesn't notice.]

It means something to me. I will enjoy this meal because I have someone to share it with.

[kuramaless]

Er. Good. Y'know?

[It's also a very good job that their ramen turns up pretty much as soon as he speaks up - and thankful for something else to talk about, he tugs his bowl closer to him, with thanks to their server.]
