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!

The god-given power of kings. [That sounds so chuniibyou....] Which god? Does that mean you're royalty?

[She waved her hand as if to dismiss that idea.]

I wish. At least then I'd be able to send everyone back.

[meridio]

[So it wasn't her, if she's to be believed.]

I was king to a bygone time. If you were not the one to send for me, then who was?

[queenofminiskirts]

[A bygone time?] Are you a time traveller then?

[She sighs.] If I knew I would have already gone to kick their ass. But we think it may be the person we've been calling Mr. F.

[meridio]

[Maybe he's just retired, Kaoru.]

Mr. F?

[queenofminiskirts]

[He didn't say 'no'.]

His hexcode on the forum is #FFFFFF. We have no idea who he is but he's the one who assigns the quests every month.

[meridio]

What quests are those?

[queenofminiskirts]

...it would be easier to just show you. Why don't you come to my place? We even have some dry towels you can use.

[meridio]

[He pauses to consider his options. There aren't many. After another beat, he nods.]

Very well.

[queenofminiskirts]

Well, let's go then!

[She gestures for him to follow her.]

And if there's anything else you want to ask I'll do my best to answer your questions!

[meridio]

[And follow, he does. There's another pause as he comes up with a question.]

How long has this been going on?

[queenofminiskirts]

Well, I actually arrived with the first group and that was more than a year ago. Every now and then people new people are brought here so not everyone has been here that long.

[meridio]

More than one, but not two. Was your arrival as bare as this one?

[queenofminiskirts]

It's probably hard to believe but there was even less colour and other stuff when we got here.

But there were a lot more people that first time. A lot of them aren't here anymore though.

[meridio]

What became of them?

[queenofminiskirts]

They were sent home. But sometimes people who are sent back end up here again...

[meridio]

Do you have proof?

[queenofminiskirts]

Well, the people who come back say they went home. And I got a mirror that shows people who have left and they're always back in their own worlds.

[meridio]

What of their memories?

[The blade in his grasp blinks out of existence. He doesn't need it where he's going.]

[queenofminiskirts]

People who have gone and come back say they don't remember anything when they were gone.

[meridio]

Then what transpires here bears no consequence . . .

[queenofminiskirts]

Yeah...it's basically a filler arc. Or a the movie version. Nothing is canon.

[And they make it to her house in Bluo! She opens the door and gestures for him to come in.]

Just sit on the couch for a moment. I'll be back with towels and my laptop.

[meridio]

[He understands some of what she says, but utters nothing of that which he doesn't as he follows her inside. Approaching the couch, Somnus is compliant, yet slow to sit down. As he waits for Kaoru's return, it isn't long before he goes from glancing at the interior to staring at the floor. Not a lot of excitement to be found in this one.]

[queenofminiskirts]

[And she comes back, with the promised towel and the laptop. Both of them are floating around her.

The towel floats forwards and falls over his head.]

So, how much do you know about laptops?

[meridio]

[Different worlds mean different powers. He pulls the towel from his head, but his attention is on the laptop.]

They are manmade devices that store information through algorithms. I've never used one.

[queenofminiskirts]

[...who even describes laptops like that?

She sits down beside him and levitates the computer between them.] It might be a good thing if you haven't. Then you won't be disappointed by everything you can't do on this thing.

There's no internet. We can only access the forums. Besides that, it has a writing program, a simple drawing program and something for making presentations.

[Though she's never used that last one.]
