Event Post: Why Do You Have To Be Mad?

[hadrielmods]

THE RUNDOWN

During December, Rage is getting a little... antsy. And when Rage gets antsy, everyone gets angry. So! In order to best amuse herself, she's decided to give everyone very intense pet peeves- small things that make certain groups of people fly into a frothing rage.

Upon being subjected to everyone's chosen thing- be it by someone nearby doing it or doing it themselves- characters will find themselves full of an inexplicable hatred for that specific act or thing, and will likely do everything in their power to make that hatred known. How much you want the anger to affect your character is dependent on you- whether you want them to stop being able to sleep or eat entirely, or if it's simply a mere inconvenience is your call!

In addition to being angry at a specific thing, characters who find themselves in the company of other characters with similar anger triggers will notice a strange sense of kinship with one another. After all, there's nothing like bonding over mutual dislike of something, right? Feel free to gather up your venting buddies and just rant until the cows come home about how much you hate it when people try to calm you down- it's okay, we'll wait.

Friendships like this can form quickly, but be careful- if they get too out of hand then we might find ourselves with an angry mob on our hands, ready to take out anyone who might be indulging in a little winter wear.

Now, without further ado, the sorting!

THE DETAILS

HATRED OF JACKETS:
With this hatred, your character will, predictably, dislike jackets. Any sort of cold weather wear is fair game here, however- you're free to include coats, hats, scarves, and mittens into your rage. This can prevent you from putting on your own coats, and maybe long sleeves as well... well, even a t-shirt might be annoying on your shoulders, so you could just forego that entirely. Or you could only dislike them on other people and be prone to ripping them off of others and setting them on fire. Hey, at least they're warm now!

HATRED OF ANIMALS
Who could hate a cute, fluffy animal? Well, a lot of people, as it turns out. Luckily, Hadriel is a little bereft in the 'cute and fluffy' department, as the majority of our animals are actually monsters lurking about the tunnels, so- you know, feel free to let your rage lead you out there to hunt them down or be hunted in return. Additionally, there are a few animals able to be found around the city: nugs and fennec foxes from the recent Dragon Age event, as well as the few other creatures that have been smuggled into the city by her inhabitants. Kick puppies at your own risk- there might be a few good Samaritans about who get legitimately angry at any sign of cruelty.

HATRED OF BUILDINGS WITH MORE THAN THREE WINDOWS
Windows? Okay in small quantities. But anything more than three is grounds for you going ballistic. Maybe even three is too many, honestly. It's fair game whether you want your character to hate the windows themselves or entire buildings, but either way, it's smashing time. Who cares if someone lives there? Oh- wait, do you live there? Whoops... you might want to sleep outside for awhile. (As a sidenote, all spires and most houses have more than three windows- the bar, temples, and Delight's housing have less!)

HATRED OF CANNED FOOD
Have you ever gotten food poisoning from canned food? Well, if you have then you know exactly why you hate the stuff. It's stale, cheap tasting, and lasts forever- it also happens to comprise about 80% of all food in Hadriel, because Hope isn't very creative when it comes to feeding you guys. Characters with this particular hatred might have difficulty feeding themselves if they can't hunt for their food- but of course, it doesn't have to prevent you from eating. Maybe it's just the cans themselves that are the problem and you need to get a friend to open them in another room for you. Maybe it's just the sound of spoons against the tin that have you slapping them out of your roommate's hands. Either way, you're in for a complicated week.

HATRED OF DEESCALATION TACTICS
Ways to make people never calm down ever: tell them to calm down. And for you lucky ducks, this is dialed up to eleven this week! Just a simple gentle voice can piss you off, and it doesn't have to be directed at you- if your friend is ripping off someone else's jacket and they're trying to get them to stop, guess what, you're now part of the angry club. Have you ever tried to calm down a raging stranger when you hate calming people down? It's tough going, man.

HATRED OF SLEEP
Last but not least, we have our anti-sleep brigade. You guys don't want anyone to get a good night's rest- yourself potentially included. Whether that means you're banging pots and pans out on the street in the middle of the night, or just forcing your roommate to stay up all night with you and talk about increasingly-strange topics, you can be sure that the mere sight of someone getting some shuteye will fill you with a simmering anger. Characters with this hatred have the option of turning it inward and trying to go without sleep, or being fine with their own sleeping schedules, as long as nobody else can, or both. It's up to you!

And that's it, folks! Everyone else has opted out entirely, so now's your chance to steal the spotlight and maybe go punch a few of your ex-best friends. All's fair in mobs and war, after all!

If anyone is unhappy with their assignments or would like to be switched around or opted out, then please let us know! We're more than happy to accommodate any last minute changes. Thank you, and good luck getting angry!

Edit: Also, if your character is missing from this list and you'd like for them to be included in the event, please let us know and we'd be happy to sort them, asap!

QUESTIONS

[hadrielmods]

Re: QUESTIONS

[lalliho]

this is the wrong account but... are there buildings Warrick would not/could not/ should not set fire to...

QUESTION

[so_dark_a_road]

Can Curufin find some explosives somewhere and actually blow up a building or two?

He manufactured some blasting powder from scratch in his last game, and he probably wasn't unfamiliar with the stuff even in his canon world. Feanorian smiths mined their own metals and fuels. They may have known how to blast rock as well as dig it. So if there's none already concocted and immediately available, he could whip up a bunch of boom powder on his own, if he could find the right materials. XD

[fourthsaken]

Hi! Somehow Jade didn't get assigned to a group despite me not opting her out of the event, though it might have been my fault because I was away when she was accepted and haven't been super on top of RP things. If it's not too late I would love for her to still be able to participate! Thanks!

[infinite1up]

Not only is Sato in the clearly asshole group (#TeamPuppyKickers2016), he's going to take this opportunity to do some rabble-rousing in an open post very early on for funsies and to get some actual violence going. And where better to go for a big fight than the only real organization in Hadriel... the City Guard.

This rabble-rousing will be not specific to any hatred... in fact he'll be making up some additional quote-unquote "justification" for his choice of target. So who's down to start shit or valiantly beat back angry jerks?

[circumitus]

Rey vs. IBroM: Round One... FIGHT.

No really I'm stoked. So hype, mang.

[glacius]

Throwing Glacis up for the latter option of valiantly beating back angry jerks! A massive alien warrior decked in partial armor makes for a pretty good wall... and the fact that he can also literally summon ice walls helps, too. I've been looking for ways to get him more involved with Guard stuff so this sounds great!

[synthedick]

LATE TO THE PARTY but I need to get more Nick and Sato CR at some point, especially now that he can put a face to that name! I opted him out for rage, but you know. City Guard and all.

TEAM DEESCALATION

[hornrims]

Since people might not have others added on plurk I thought I'd start a planning top level if it was of interest!

I don't have any solid ideas right now but I think this would be a great way to get some unexpected cr! Is your character normally high strung or pretty chill? Richie here is wound up pretty tight so it might be kind of fun if a calm person told him to take it easy, he got mad, then they get mad at not only him but themselves bc they just used a deescalation tactic. Commence snowball effect and profit?

Any ideas that you guys think would be neat for the group, toss 'em here!

Re: TEAM DEESCALATION

[wormintheglass]

GUESS WHO'S ALSO ON HIS TEAM

Sleep hating

[knifecollecting]

It's hilarious because Jo's finally just getting used to sleep again

Jo's going to want to rig up music to play 24/7, too bad there's probably not a way for her to accomplish this...

FUCK SLEEP WAKE UP YOU'RE LAZY

[circumitus]

FORTUNATELY FOR REY the roommate she lives with is a robot who doesn't sleep anyway, plus she's also been experiencing ongoing insomnia issues. It's just that now it's going to eventually evolve into full on neurosis.

That said Rey can keep going for longer than a normal person, being superhuman and synthetic herself, but even she has her limits. So towards the last stretch she'll be dealing with the psychological and physiological effects of sleep deprivation.

Just don't take any public naps and she won't be kicking you like a soccer ball. :)

all work and no sleep makes allison something... something...

[gymnast]

Allison here is going to turn her hatred of sleep inward and is going to do everything she can possibly imagine to stay awake. And I want to do All The Things with her in this event because I've been insanely busy and sucked at getting involved in past events so hit me up!

TEAM "FUCK THESE WINDOWS BITCHES LOVE WINDOWS"

[skelebro]

Sans is even lazy in his Rage so mostly his anger will just be quiet and contained and strangely jovial, which makes for a good spooky face but not a very intimidating picture once you know what's up. He's gonna casually desecrate any buildings he comes across lol

ALSO TO LITERALLY EVERY OTHER GROUP OUT THERE, HERE'S A LIST OF SANS HAS AND CURRENTLY DOES IN EXCESS:

• sleeps. a LOT.
  
• wears a blue jacket
  
• regularly deescalates situations
  
• owns a pet fennec fox
  
• worked alongside dogs as a sentry back home
  
• eats shit straight out of the can like the disgusting goblin he is

HAVE IT. DRAG THE SKEL.

[somuchlove]

BRB, going to steal your jacket and incase it in cement.

Going to do it =)

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK

[dragoon_pride]

So Kain is going to push himself extra hard to go without sleep! It's pointless and gets in the way of more important things like training and guard duty, so who needs it?! He will definitely be staying awake to the point of having hallucinations and fun stuff like that, which should make things interesting for anyone around him.

The sleep-deprived dragoon will also be up for busting into people's rooms and forcing them to wake up!

FUCK ALL THE WINDOWS (WITH EXPLOSIVES)

[wipedclean]

OKAY GUYS SO BUCKY IS MAD AT BUILDINGS

THIS MEANS HE WILL BLOW THEM UP IF HE IS NOT STOPPED

and if he can't blow them up he will set fire to them. or take an axe/sledgehammer to them. or failing all that, just fuckin punch them with his metal arm

so.... people to either stop him or encourage him, please

[sideboobs]

Hey! Suì-Fēng ALSO hates buildings and can ALSO blow shit up and is ALSO totally not averse to just punching buildings and w/e.

So I totally encourage everything about Bucky's intentions, and I think they would totally get each other, you know?

animal hatin'

[benumbing]

Fortunately Jack will be hating and hunting monster animals, BUT. He did recently acquire a pet nug, which he originally planned to eat (or so he said) before deciding against it. He'll probably yell and chase it away, if anyone wants to find and take care of it until he's back to his right mind again. :>

[unitas]

heeey, sharon won't be sleeping for the event so she can take care of his nug if he needs her to.

[chaoscontroller]

three things:

1. Shadow is an animal..... whether he likes being called one or not.
2. Shadow's got a little cute jacket Emily made for him, he might as well decide to use it at some unfortunate time.
3. Shadow doesn't sleep. He can, but he's actually never been too fond of the action.

come at me bros

Jill Valentine hates jackets

[survivethis]

Jill hates jackets. She hates them on her. She hates them on you. Take off your jacket I mean it right now take that off take off that disgusting thing take off your clothes--wait wut. I mean, totally open to CR and shenanigans.

She might strip in front of you. Sorry not sorry.

She might make you strip for her. Sorry not sorry.

Just take that thing off.

TEAM I HATE ANIMALS HERE!

[blessedmaiden]

Because it only makes sense for an animal lover like Rydia- She will be hating and attack every animal she can find, monster and anthropomorphic creatures (looking at you, Shadow) included. Feel free to bother her anytime, she's probably somewhere hunting nugs. She also sleeps somewhere in the spires so if you hate building or sleeping people Rydia is game!

And if there are no animals around, guess what, she'll be around trying to calm down things between people so if you hate deescalation tactics the summoner is your girl!

TEAM FUCK YOUR WINDOWS (WITH SCIENCE!!!)

[fortunefavored]

Angry Newt is less prone to violence and more prone to do a lot of shouting and complaining. He will only do the hitting thing if he's hit first. As for windows, he'll probably just kvetch about it a lot, maybe break something if he gets really pissed. In terms of targeting him for things:

-He also has a leather jacket which he totally loves and will be devastated if anything happens to.
-He honestly actually does really appreciate canned food, because when it's that or starvation, canned food becomes your BFF
-He also likes sleep??? Like, yay sleep?? idk.

AS FOR THE WINDOWS

[ishotyouuu]

ohhh lord there's gonna be no living with Wade and Hermann for the next few weeks then

TEAM WINDOW FUCKENING

[sciencelizard]

So Alphys doesn't get destructive-angry very often, but she'll get plenty rant angry over those windows. She does have Pretty Strong Opinions when it comes down to things she's passionate about, and this is gonna count for the event's duration.

However, in terms of her being a target...

- will nap unbidden, always
- her lab coat can count as a jacket
- pretty much tries to people-please constantly and Stop Any Fighting
- has a nug
- has worked with/been friends with dog monsters
- and has been known to eat bricks of ramen noodles raw so if the food comes in cans the can is now her bowl

she probably won't be out a ton because she's pretty reclusive, but let me know if you wanna plot anything!!!

jackets are the devil

[publickenemy]

Piper is a little bit of a hot temper, but this will still be unusual for her. Particularly the urge to rip off the jacket off of everyone she sees wearing one.

This makes total sense, given the long coat she wears and loves.

So you may come across one angry woman, spouting off insults towards your jacket, maybe even trying to yank it right off of you.

- She might try and talk down anyone she comes across fighting, to get them to calm down.

- Sleep is something that she, as a regular human being needs to do.

- And she's from a place where a lot of the food is canned, and she'll probably still stick to a lot of that here for ease.

TEAM FUCK YOUR WINDOWS (with dynamite)

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin will be either finding or concocting some serious explosives with which to erase the existence of at least a few windowed buildings. He'd appreciate company, as he excels at teamwork even when in a towering rage. (Pun intended.)

Also, he wears a nice jacket, if any of you jacket-haters want to challenge him.

Team Don't Tell Me to Calm Down

[solvethepuzzle]

Near typically isn't the physically violent sort, but he's very passive-aggressive generally and verbally nasty. That being said, if he manages to get provoked to the level of physical violence . . . he's tiny and pretty pathetic that way, although he does carry a knife when he leaves the house. In the sleeve of his coat. Whoops.

Not that he's the type to leave the house a ton, but he should be out during some of it. Otherwise, I'm planning a network post for him a day or two in to gripe and be nasty about people telling him to calm down. Because that will accomplish great things, surely.
