Event Post: Never Log In

THE RUNDOWN

It sure has been a crazy few months! Or, you know. Year and some change, if you've been here for awhile. Maybe you've been through a lot, or maybe you're still carrying baggage from home that you haven't quite been able to work through. Well, the gods - Hope and Sorrow in particular, though all of them have some stake in the emotions that could be brought up - have decided to give everyone a chance to get some of this off their chests.

But who actually wants to look someone in the eye and tell them about your problems? Literally nobody. So the gods came to the most obvious conclusion, helped by the fact that they don't actually know how awful the internet is: an anon post!

That's right, all of Hadriel will be provided with an anonymous venue to let out the things that have been upsetting them. Your fears, you regrets, your guilty thoughts - whatever's been weighing you down, now's the time to let it out. And so that you aren't screaming into the void, your fellow residents will be inspired to respond and help you work through your shit - whatever 'helpful' means to them.

THE DETAILS
On February 25th, an open network post will be made. On the in-game network, all posts will be ICly anonymous. However, we ask that you post logged in and simply indicate 'anon' or something of the sort in your thread subject. This is for logistical purposes (for example, it's impossible for actual anon comments to be used for AC, since we can't know who made them). So please do not log out when posting!

ICly, characters will feel a mild compulsion to post honestly. So if your character might not normally unburden themselves anonymously, or might not even pick up their phone, they'll find themselves significantly more inclined to do so. In return, characters will also be mildly compelled to respond in a helpful way. Of course, the definition of helpful can be very different from character to character - maybe your character thinks it's very helpful to tell someone not to feel guilty about murder, because humans are awful anyway. However, as with most in-game compulsions, both of these can be resisted if you do not want your character to participate.

If your character finds someone to be really helpful, very friendly, or just super weird and interesting, they do have the option to reveal their identity. This will only happen if both parties agree - if one character switches to unanon and the other doesn't, the other won't see their identity until they switch as well. In addition, both identities will only be revealed to each other - the thread itself would still look 'anonymous' to anyone else reading it.

So now's the chance to unburden yourself in total anonymity, make new friends, and help each other out! There's no possible way for this to backfire, not even if it turns out the person giving you such great relationship advice is actually the person who killed your dad. Wow. Awkward.

Noctis Lucis Caelum - Spoilers for FFXV

[kittycaterer]

Oh boy... I want to say that Noctis may prefer to avoid something like this entirely, considering he isn't exactly into being open about things with strangers? But at the same time, boy's got plenty of grievances. So he may attempt being vague and fail at it.

With that being said, here's the laundry list:

- Noctis is royalty. That can explain the gigantic list of issues he's carried with him since childhood. He's got a gigantic kingdom he recently inherited after the murder of his father and the obliteration of the Crown City he came from.

- With said royalty comes, well... The lack of opportunity to really grow when it comes to being social. He's shit with social queues, awkward, etc. I don't see Noctis complaining about that, because he won't, but this'll be why it will likely be obvious who it is on the network.

- Did I mention that his father was murdered? Yeah. Said murdered father is here, alive, and while Noctis has already taken steps to deal with it? It's still weird. That goes for Lunafreya being here, too. It's just never going to stop causing him anxiety. It's not their fault, it's not his fault, it's just weird.

- Childhood friend/betrothed was also murdered. See above.

- His first month fostered a sort of... Unintentional complacency with the company of is father and Lunafreya. For a while there, he was fine with being stuck here and made only half-assed attempts to find a way back to Eos. That has been dealt with, he's back on track, but it may come up in terms of his regrets. He feels pretty shitty about it, because it's no way for a king to behave. Noctis completely acknowledges his duty, accepts it, but it's terrifying.

- Now that the aforementioned complacency is gone, here comes the anxiety of the state of his kingdom. It was already left in a pretty shitty place, and Eos' integrity is only determined by Noctis' being there. Being the Chosen King and all.

- Gladio is making him get up early for training. He can't sleep in anymore. Need I continue?

- Vegetables. Why the hell. Does dad. Insist. On bringing home. Vegetables.

- Where the hell are all the comic books and video games? HUH?

Anyway, yeah. Have at it, guys.

[manspreading]

weh whiny baby weh weh Gladio won't let me sleep in

(this is how Gladio will respond, are you ready)

[kittycaterer]

It's a crime. What you're doing.

I hope you know that.

[manspreading]

is the baby not getting enough sleep :'( so sad.........

[kittycaterer]

Oh man, first fucking decree when he becomes king:

It's illegal to wake up the king before 12pm.

[manspreading]

Noct there's more to being king than just telling people they can't tell you what to do

[kittycaterer]

Wanna bet??????????

I almost logged in as my iggy account for this

[manspreading]

Yes, actually.

appropriate

[kittycaterer]

Fucking good. Let's bet. Right now.

you asked for this

[dlcbait]

For starters, there's this small thing called ruling, Noct. Much as it might sadden you to hear, it can only be done while lucidly awake.

[kittycaterer]

IT'S MY MOM.

MOM COME SAVE ME, I'M EATING LIKE A SAVAGE PLEBE.

[manspreading]

git gud and maybe your mom will make your your favorites, whiny baby

[kittycaterer]

i'm so telling mom you've been a total douchebag. and i'm tossing out the cup noodles.

this is why I don't play ignis tbh

[dlcbait]

Now now, let's not be hasty, Noct. You know those noodles are toxic, think of the environment.

THIS TAUNTS ME IN SO MANY WAYS

[kittycaterer]

Okay cool.

So I'll burn them. Then outlaw them.

maybe someday....... in another game lmao

[manspreading]

You can't outlaw Cup Noodles, that would be a crime.

-wistfully sighs-

[kittycaterer]

I don't want to talk to you, I want to talk to mom.

someday....

[dlcbait]

So rude, Noct. Do you talk to your own father this way?

i'm always down for museboxes and all the fun stuff ftr

[kittycaterer]

No.

I talk to jerks who drag my ass out of bed too early that way. Also, he broke my nose. Did I mention I'm eating garbage?

one day when I've finished making my own icons...... ch14 iggy is just so hot

[dlcbait]

also that fucking icon I fucking lose it every time I see it

Woe is you, truly. I'll see if I can't talk Gladio into easing up on you.

Ah, but wait, that's right. I can't, terribly sorry. Looks like you'll have to tell him yourself.

RIGHT? a man who ages well. i can't stand it

[kittycaterer]

What the hell did I do to deserve this

he's like fine wine

[dlcbait]

Some of us are born blessed, others have our blessings thrust upon us.
