January Event: Fade to Black

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!

[This Beau seems to know a lot of things; it's because she isn't really in the practice of doubting herself, a confidence that makes her seem like she knows everything. In reality, she knows no more than her real does. She's just carrying herself well for it.

Her eyes find Yasha's, and gives her a nod.]


I appreciate it.

[It sounds as sincere as she can make it. And just like that, the moment is gone as the Light points ahead of them.]

Alright, let's go see if we can find the other half of my dumb ass.

(Yes, she's... serene, sort of. As close to serene that Beau could ever possibly get, that is. It's nice but unsettling, and honestly Yasha is looking forward to returning to a much shiftier Beau.)

What if she's hiding?

(It seems like something Beau would do in reaction to this... Yasha knows it's probably what she would do if she had to face this scenario.)
lesbeau: (« [Thought] well im out of ideas)

I mean, she might be.

[Not that Beau is the hiding type, or the non-confrontational type. But the Light figures it's more what she represents. What she's afraid of seeing. She'd bet that Beau thinks she might be the person her parents always wanted, that priss of a girl that was never to exist, and what would that prove? That every part of her is horrible? That she can only be redeemed if she goes back to that life that didn't even want her?

It's a hard place to exist. It makes sense she just doesn't want to face it.]


If I were you, I'd check around here with me. See if we can find her. If not... you should get some people who care about her and go to Monsun before it's too late.
barberian: (did it hurt when u fell from heaven)

(bitch she might be)

Okay, okay. (Cool it with the 'before it's too late' chat, it's starting to make Yasha nervous.)

Look, let's... we'll look around here for a bit, and if we don't turn her up I can go get Jester, and Molly. They'll come with me. They'll help.

(That's really the most she can do with all of this, after all.)

[Well it should be!! Just because death isn't permanent doesn't mean its fun. The Light knows her time is limited by design, but that doesn't mean her Real's has to be. This Beau can be upfront in caring about that.]

That's good. Let her know she... yeah. She'll want to know you wanted to. C'mon.

[And with that, she'll simply start heading out, to find... well, herself. But literally this time.]
