hadriel_ooc | Event Post: Party Royale

THE RUNDOWN

Rage and Delight are on their way back, and of course they need to have an event to celebrate their return! Sure, it might not be obvious that's what's going on at first, but that just adds to the fun, right? And haven't you wanted to splat your friends right in the butt with a paintball? Your time is now.

On September 22nd, everyone will wake up to find a paintball gun with a note attached that simply says be the last one standing. Picking up this gun, or touching it at all, will inspire a competitive spirit and desire to show these other losers that you're the very best! This urge can be ignored, of course, but why bother? This'll be fun!

Or so it seems. In fact, hitting anyone with a paintball from the gun will cause them to fall to the ground, completely unconscious. Whoops. No matter what you do, they won't wake up. And what's worse, after a few days all these unconscious bodies completely disappear! Well, shit. Maybe you'll give up at this point - or maybe you'll keep fighting, still seized with the desire to win.

However, unbeknownst to all the people still up and running around and shooting each other, everyone knocked unconscious will wake up inside the colosseum on September 26th, to find a big party waiting for them, courtesy of Delight! See, winning isn't so bad. After that day, anyone who is hit by a paintball will immediately wake up at the party, ready to have a good time (and maybe a little confused). On September 29th, the paintball portion of the event ends, but the party goes on for another day, and everyone gets a prize! Woo!

THE DETAILS

The paintball guns work the same as any paintball gun, except that the paint inside appears to be unlimited! You can use any, not just the one you got, but if you lose or break it - well, it's gone. Let's hope you can steal one from someone else. Maybe that guy you just downed?

But let's get to the important stuff: the party. Throughout the event, until the 29th, the colosseum will be impossible to enter - just like the caves outside the city, any attempt to get in will lead you back the way you came. But why would you be going in anyway? There's a whole city of people to shoot! The only way in is to get shot yourself.

After the 26th, all unconscious people will wake up inside the colosseum. Their clothes will be clean of any paint, though they may still have bruises and minor injuries they incurred during this rather rough battle royale. However, who cares when there's a party to enjoy? Inside the colosseum are tables full of food, drinks (alcoholic and not!), music, card games, other party games, and a nice dance floor - plus plenty of sparkling lights and decorations! Inside the walls of the colosseum can be found nicely outfitted but small rooms to sleep in, if the partying gets too much for you. While people can't leave, they'll be able to find most anything they need in the colosseum - and there will be notes here and there assuring people they'll be able to go home once the event is over.

On the 29th, it becomes possible for anyone outside to enter the colosseum - and a giant sign is posted outside that reads CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS. Also on that day, everyone receives a prize depending on how long they survived:

🗙 If you died on the 22nd: A consolation teddy bear
🗙 If you died on the 23rd: A small potted plant with your favorite flowers
🗙 If you died on the 24th: A box of delicious chocolates
🗙 If you died on the 25th: A bottle of your favorite kind of liquor
🗙 If you died on the 26th: A cool leather jacket in your favorite color
🗙 If you died on the 27th: An adorable animal kigurumi of the most appropriate animal
🗙 If you died on the 28th: A bottle full of Delight shots (info in this event post) and a trophy with your name on it
🗙 If you survived until the 29th, but did not participate: A new friend
🗙 If you survived until the 29th and did participate: WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER, you get a gun with two boxes of ammo and a trophy with your name on it

Participation doesn't actually require landing a shot on anyone else, but it does require an honest attempt to participate in the game and paintball the heck out of people. But, as you can see, even sitting it out 'til the end will get you a little prize! After the 29th, the party will go on for one more day so everyone can celebrate. It'll finally end on the 30th, and everyone can go home.

I think I'm gonna go for the 29th. Was going for the 26th, but I think he needs a gun more than he needs a leather jacket. At least, that's what he would say about it. Okay for you?
