XANADU OPERA TIME | ALL INVITED

[shall_yield_us]

WHEN: Jan. 15 | the Xanadu gardens.
CHARACTERS: Everyone.
SUMMARY: we interrupt your regular Xanadu viewing for the following special reminder: ...the visit ain't over til the bloody plant sings.

That's right: our green belle been giving rather obnoxious titillating performances in Xanadu, to what can only be the... enjoyment... of certain Citizens. Adding injury to insult, it's quite possible that a couple of residents have also captured the plant's tune on film, and now the video's been turned into a network viral phenomenon!

But as Citizens surely know, every grand artist needs a doting live audience: come get dibs on more plant footage? Save someone from its evil clutches? Help a poor soul that's got lost in the gardens' great expanse? Get the plant to sign with your talent agency? Embark on a mystical quest to get it to shut up?

Just put your chlorophyll-tinted glasses on, and anything is possible.


[ ooc: Find whatever excuse to throw your character in Xanadu, tag someone new, and all around: GET IN HERE. Just as a note: hearing the plant is definitely optional, so please don't think it's an overwhelming sound that'd keep your character up at night or some such. It's just a log prompt. XD ]

It happens. I guess we all get so used to it that we find our own ways of coping.

[She remembered doing a great deal of drinking which was difficult because she tried to hide it from Ken. She wasn't sure how well she did, but he didn't say anything so perhaps she'd done a better job then she'd thought.]

If the City's a revolving door and people come and go so quickly, you'd think it would be logical to avoid forming any attachments.

[Logical, but not human. He knows very well that emotional attachments with other humans is a basic need, even if it's one that he finds particularly burdensome and disquieting.]

How do most people cope?

[cry_reaper]

It varies. Some people hide their pain, others drink it, some pick fights, some scream at the network, vowing revenge. Depends on the person. How the approach grief.

[othersdie]

So it's like coping with death, in a way.

...I hope it becomes easier for you.

[cry_reaper]

For some, I suppose.

[She smiled, shrugging a little.]

It is always possible that the person will return, but most don't count on it.
