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 abrupt reaction was far too much, and shaking his head mostly at himself, he tries again.

"Thank you, but I must insist you stay here, Maribelle-dono. There are flowers all through the fields, and it would not do for you to gain another curse."

[troubadamsel]

"But what about you? I certainly don't want you getting cursed either!" She then paused, wondering if he was under any such influence.

[youwillbeunequaled]

"Thank you for your kind concern. However I am already cursed by two flowers."

[troubadamsel]

"Two?!" She shrieks. "We have to get rid of them!"

[youwillbeunequaled]

He holds his hands out, waving them slightly to emphasize his reluctance.

"No, it is not that dire. And I'm afraid I cannot trust the town's magic." Literally afraid, curse him. "Please consider that because everyone is from different worlds, the flowers may carry different meanings, and give unintended results. I shall simply wait out the town's magic, as it should wane in a matter of days as always."

[troubadamsel]

"But you didn't wait out mine!" Probably because that would have been frustrating as hell. "It's unfair for you to suffer alone!"

[youwillbeunequaled]

Actually, alone is what he's after...

"It is not unbearable, nor as dangerous as your curse was." With a small sigh he rubs the back of his head. She probably won't let it go until she is fully informed.

"One curse has taken my strength and courage. The other makes me long for solitude." He doesn't like admitting to such weaknesses, even if they are town-inflicted.

[troubadamsel]

"If it's taken your strength and courage, then you won't be much help no matter what you're doing." She will not be persuaded otherwise, and just ups and ignores the second thing.

[youwillbeunequaled]

Tonbokiri winces. Not much help... That's painful.

"There are many things I cannot help with as I am now, it is true. ...But, I could help you just now."

[troubadamsel]

"Anyone could have helped me, I couldn't remember my own name." With that, she begins to march back to where this all started. "I'm helping you, and that's that."

[youwillbeunequaled]

"M-Maribelle-dono--" He reaches out a hand, but there is no stopping her. So he quickly trails after.

"The fields will be fine for a day or two without tending. I was just worried when I saw the overgrowth of flowers... Let's leave it and stay home until this magic finishes."

[troubadamsel]

She glances back at him, suspicious. "And you won't go out there?"

[youwillbeunequaled]

W-why the suspicious look? He has become a coward, not a liar.

"I promise. I shall stay in my room."

[troubadamsel]

She trusted him, not the flowers.

"I'll hold you to that."

[youwillbeunequaled]

He is getting the solitude he is craving this way as well, so with a bow he turns to retire to his room.
