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!

No… that won’t help.

[ dextera knows that much. ]

It’s a problem with me. I’m the only one that can fix it, but… it’s hard. It’s hard to fix the things that are wrong with me…

That's... [ It was hard to find words to comfort Dextera. He wasn't even sure if Dextera wanted to be comforted? Or, rather, if anything he could say would help, but... he reached out a hand anyway to grab Dextera's, even despite it being connected to a whole lot of nothing and that was still wild (and he STILL had the urge to shove his arm into it, but like, that's normal, right??). ]

I'm sure a lot of people feel like that. But... you are something else, you know. You're always thinking of others and being so helpful... it's only fair you have some support now. Even if it is something you have to handle on your own. In fact, especially so.

…Caramia.

[ dextera speaks softly, touched by the words. grounded, certainly, by caramia’s hand gently touching his. he exhales. ]

I was told for a long time… that I had only myself. So I always… yearn for other people. I can’t help it.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ Oh. Oh no... Despite the new determination that lit up his face, those were definitely tears in eyes. ]

Other people are here for you now, though. And... we care about you. So... you have to take care of yourself.

[ Not that it's so easy to say "Just stop turning into the void", but also... ]

[ … ]

I don’t know how.

[ that’s what it comes down to, isn’t it—even if he wanted to take care of himself as caramia is asking, he doesn’t know how. it’s not the loss of guren that did this to him, either. this is a problem that’s been with him since his brother died, and even having sinistra here hasn’t healed this hole entirely. ]

I’m trying, but…
