Event Twenty-Five.

[awashmods]

I'd like to creep into the wood And see the bonnets blue, And hear the bluebells ringing loud, I wish I could -- don't you?

t's another day, another month, and another time for people to show up in the well. You'd better go rescue them! Never mind the fact that you woke up with a flower in your hands. It's probably fine. Don't mind it at all. It's not like it's hard to ignore a little flower. (At least, not until the effects start to kick in. Better go rescue the people in the well before they do.) Oh, right. Even the people in the well have flowers, so... things are going to be a little ridiculous very quickly, when all of those side effects kick in. Have fun! Welcome to Awash's Twenty-fifth 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!

Even if you do, will you be able to remember it?

[ a part of somnus doubts that noctis will even get that far. it's impossible to save everyone. in order to save one, another must suffer. it is the hubris of humanity to insist on taking while giving nothing in return.

besides, the oracle is already dead. as for the rest . . . well. ]

[nascere]

[ no, he probably won't be able to remember it, and that's a horrible, terrible thing. that means he's probably flogging himself for no other reason than he should, that in some twisted way it'll make him feel less useless.

he frowns, and turns away. ]

It could happen. I have to try.

[meridio]

[ so willful. he remembers a time when he had once been the same. but the compassion, the desperate desire to protect everyone against all odds . . . that's his brother.

it's a shame that wanting isn't enough. ]

Embark on this path, and you may struggle for as long as you remain here.

[nascere]

[ well, noctis is probably the best and worst of the both of you. or somewhere in between. what is obvious, however, is that he can't get an actual accurate read on just what somnus is possibly thinking. ]

Or I can just write it all down in my pocket. Or on me, before I'm taken back.

[ definitely the most willful. he's quiet for a moment, then: ] Does Ardyn die?

[meridio]

[ wishful thinking of a child. ]

He thrives still.

[ does ardyn die? although he'd like to believe it, somnus' memories don't go that far. everything is meant to end with the accursed's death, heralding the rebirth of light. should noctis succeed in saving his loved ones, will his actions have a ripple effect on the promised future?

no. either way, no matter what happens, his brother must be freed. ]

[nascere]

[ he thrives still, and that is not something noctis really wants to hear -- not when he's killed so many, and especially luna. profoundly dissatisfied, noctis tries again: ]

What is the last thing you remember?

[meridio]

[ here, he slows to face noctis. the last thing he remembers? the answer is right in front of him. ]

To you, I entrust the future of our world.

[ tearing his gaze away, somnus resumes his previous pace with finality dogging his steps. ]
