Event Twenty-One

[awashmods]

Sometimes I feel happy, Sometimes I feel sad. Sometimes I feel curious, Sometimes I feel mad. Sometimes I feel silly, Sometimes I feel surprised. How many feelings, Do I have inside?

t's another regular, normal day in the Town. There's absolutely nothing to show that anything could possibly be wrong; the birds are chirping, the sky is bright, and everything is absolutely, entirely wrong. This time, though? The problem is internal. Slowly, bit by bit, people are going to stop feeling entirely like themselves -- or maybe even stop feeling at all. And suddenly that nice, bright day doesn't seem quite so nice and not quite so bright any longer after all. Welcome to Awash's Twenty-First event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to make your own logs and posts for this event! If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

I'm pretty sure sensei would be. You're too much like Minamoto to be anything but popular.

[And, unable to feel any joy, remembering Minamoto only hurts because she misses him a lot. She has to look away to steady herself. Okay. Maybe talking about home wasn't the best idea right now.]

Does it really barely hurt or is sensei only saying that to avoid making people worry?

[shizun]

That person... no, I doubt that I'm anything like him.

[ Shen Qingqiu is going to be taking his hand back, thank you! He plucks a few more notes on his guqin with one hand as he waves his other one dismissively. ]

People worrying... I'm afraid I don't even care about that, either. It barely hurts. I'm not a trembling M that enjoys pain.

[queenofminiskirts]

You've never met him so how would you know?

[She lets him take his hand back.]

You're just an adult that doesn't take care of himself properly.

[shizun]

If he's popular, he's nothing like me.

[ He's feeling shameless enough to say that much. ]

I take of myself just well. It's all of you that aren't taking care of yourselves. I tell you ... if cultivation wasn't as amazing as it was, I'd have grey hair by now.

[queenofminiskirts]

He also doesn't know he's popular so I'd say the two of you are exactly the same.

[...maybe she really is a masochist. It hurts to talk about home and yet she couldn't seem to stop. She's just making herself sadder and sadder.]

Come on, we're not that bad.

[shizun]

I'd think that'd be a person knows.

[ Hmph, hmph!! ]

You're not. But you certainly don't know how to take things easy.

[queenofminiskirts]

The people who call themselves popular are weirdos. And you have to know, ignorance of his popularity is another attractive trait in popular guys.

[Or something.]

I'm really easy-going, okay?

[shizun]

That doesn't make any sense! Luo Binghe is the most popular ever and he knows it! When he acts in that haughty way, girls fall at his feet even harder. You can't just say something like that when there are facts that prove otherwise!!

[ He has a lot of feelings, okay?! ]

And easy-going with your life.

[queenofminiskirts]

I never said people who know they're popular can't be popular but there's a difference between knowing and flaunting it.

[One is acceptable and the other is annoying. But also...most popular ever, huh.]

I already knew this, but sensei really likes him, doesn't he?

[She can't be amused about it but she still thinks it's a bit sweet.]

I'm not sure why you think my life isn't easy-going.

[shizun]

That's moving the goal posts a little.

[ He blinks. ]

Of course, I like him very much. Even if he's going to rend me limb from limb, I can't forget how adorable he was as a little white lamb. Those memories aren't something that you just give up on, okay?

[ Hmph!! ]

I mean easy-going with your life. [ He reaches out to poke her on the forehead. ] Your existence. I am well aware that your life isn't easy, and that is why I want to make it less hard while you're here. So, why not just be good and let yourself be spoiled, ah?

[queenofminiskirts]

People have a lot of different tastes.

[...also, that sounds oddly specific.]

Of course not. It's probably the same for him too, you know. [Look. She really likes you and that's why she wants them to reconcile.

She blinks when he pokes her on the forehead. She's surprised, then she flushes. She feels sheepish but there's something missing. Something she's supposed to feel but doesn't. It makes her agitated. So somehow it all translates into embarrassment.]

...geez. You can't just say things like that all of a sudden, sensei!

[shizun]

Probably.

[ Everyone seems to say that about him, but no one knows just how blackened his state is! Luo Binghe, Demon Sovereign Protagonist, moved by a few memories of his Shizun? Ha!! You put that on the message board and people will think that there is a romance cooking, okay?! ]

And it seems like I just did. So, why can't I?

[queenofminiskirts]

[Considering she's convinced Luo Binghe is already in love with him she'd say that's accurate.]

Because it's embarrassing!

[shizun]

[ He cannot help but laugh. Reaching his hand out, he ruffles her hair. ]

I can't see anything embarrassing about it. So, if I can't see it, it isn't embarrassing.
