JANUARY EVENT: FADE TO BLACK

Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: Your true self comes to roost
When: January 21st - 23rd; January 25th - 28th
Where: All over!
Warnings: Dark subjects such as violence and self-destruction are likely to come to the forefront - please mark your content accordingly!

Down in that Darkness

This log is primarily for the Shadow and Light portions of the event, for ease and convenience. Your Shadow can be either the Persona-inspired sort - a "brutal, bitterly honest recreation of a character's worst flaws, darkest fears, and deepest secrets" - or the edgier, more laughable variant. The Lights, on the other hand, will do their utmost to convince their real selves of their best qualities, no matter how little they want to hear them.

Remember that the Shadows will be present from January 21st to January 23rd, and the Lights will be present from January 25th to January 28th.

On January 25th, we will post a separate log for Rejection Rooms!

Still, I'm grateful to know. Even if that knowledge is temporary.

[He'd rather the truth, no matter what it may be. He is glad to not be blind to what his daughter has gone through, even if it wounds him to know it too.]

Hope. [He echoes and manages a faint smile.] There are worse legacies to leave behind than that. Thank you, Keith.

We all help each other. It's the Paladin way, right? [He smiles briefly and pauses at the brief to the islets. He could come at this with his sword out. But he won't. Instead, he waits, moving aside from Alford to walk ahead of him.]

If he does decide to fight, better he face you directly. He might make some smart assed remark about following if I do it.

[alchemisted]

I suppose it is at that, yes.

[Teamwork and all that. Alfor feels... better. He does glance back at Keith, lifting an eyebrow.]

He can remark as he likes. There is strength and wisdom in choosing to follow rather than lead at times. And you are a Black Paladin, Keith. It's very clear to see why the Black Lion would have chosen you.

[That said. He is ready to be the one to face himself down, in this instance. It's his own troubles, after all.]

[thermalwind]

[He keeps hearing it's clear why Black chose him but that's something different from hearing it from their creator. Black is special to him these days. He misses that connection between him and the ancient storm that is Black. When he saw through Black's eyes and let himself trust in the Lion as it trusted him it felt like he was riding the lightning.

His eyes widen in surprise and he grins, it lights up his whole face. He lightly thumps Alfor in the shoulder, a gesture he picked up here.]

And it's really obvious why Red chose you. I agree with you. Sometimes following is smarter. ...in this case, it's your story and I'm your support. I have the facts he and you lack. I'll use them for your sake.
