EVENT LOG: GATHER UP


EVENT LOG:
GATHER UP


characters: everyone.
location: beacon at large.
date/time: september 16-25.
content: a town-wide selfie scavenger hunt!
warnings: unflattering camera angles.

πŸ”ŽπŸ“ΈπŸ˜˜

It starts with a network post, and then a song begins to play in the Invincible, loud enough to be heard throughout Bonfire Square. Welcome to the scavenger hunt, everyone! You've been tasked with finding 25 "items" in and around Beacon, so hop to it!

Please remember to ICly report your findings on Robin's network post if you want them to count toward a prize! As a further reminder, you're free to interpret the list items however you/your character would like, and you're free to assume your character can find all of these things somewhere in town without running into trouble! Just don't stray too far from town to go gallivanting off into the wilderness, as that might be dangerous. This includes finding forest spirits! You're welcome to NPC your own forest spirit encounters, just like in our last event.

That said, if you would like to search a particular area for a fun surprise, let us know below!

Not many.

( Which isn't to say that there weren't any idiots in the police force. There were plenty. It's just that Javert did not have the patience to deal with them. )

I did not suffer fools. If any of my subordinates were to abuse their power or their position, they would be dismissed. Loathe as I am to admit it, corruption was commonplace thing among the police.

( But not him. If there's one thing Javert can pride himself on, it's that he was never swayed by bribery. )
originallutece: don't tell anyone but i'm kinda into this whole cyndi lauper business (talk; shit that's mildly catchy)

I'm not surprised.

[Honestly, her opinion of the police in general isn't worth much.]

Power in general tends to corrupt. Add to it the power to control others very directly . . . no, I'm not shocked that you found corruption again and again.

It should not be so.

( Small-minded as it is, Javert truly believed in the policeman's duties. He thought the law a perfect baseline for justice, but it is not. He stares off into the tavern at nothing, looking somewhat despondent for a moment before quietly responding, )

I left a note for them, you know, before I died. Observations for the Good of the Service. I'm certain the Prefect must have thought me mad β€” if he even read it at all β€” but I could pursue my dismissal without at least trying to enact change.

( He doesn't know why he's telling her this. It's not as if he cares whether she thinks he's a good cop or not. Perhaps it's just something that's been weighing heavily on his mind. )
originallutece: (talk; i feel numb most of the time)

[It does sound a little mad, but in such a way that she at least understands it, because in turn she understands him far better than she once did. Of course he'd written up a guide. Why wouldn't he have? Dedicated to his duty to the last, even if he himself couldn't complete it.]

What did you recommend?

Better treatment for prisoners. A partner system for police officers. The rest were my own personal gripes, things that always irritated me about the Parisian police force, but which I never voiced.

( It was madness as well as insubordination. Perhaps that is why he never thought to speak on it until then. Javert falls silent for a moment, thoughts swirling, before noticing the nearly empty glass on the table and snapping back to attention. )

But enough on that. Would you like me to fetch you more wine?
originallutece: and a book on the Science of Star Trek (talk; a loaf of bread a jug of wine)

[The question surprised her, and it takes her a moment before she smiles faintly.]

Yes. Please. And thank you, Javert. Sit with me a bit longer.

Very well.

( He never understands these requests for company, but he doesn't have it in him to disobey. It's custom for a man to refill a woman's wineglass, and so Javert does just that β€” bringing back a drink for her and a glass of something nonalcoholic for himself. He places them both in front of their respective seats. )

I've finished my patrols for the day. I will stay however long you wish.
