Event Five.

[awashmods]

So here I’ve stood for forty years In dark and dust and creaky sounds, Waiting for her to say, “Turn around.” This might not be just what she meant, But me – I’m so obedient.

t first, it seems a little too simple for a true test of morals. Don't eat, don't take, don't look? The most basic of requirements. And with guides, it isn't too difficult at all to avoid those obvious pitfalls. At least, until the Town's suddenly far, far too empty, almost eerily so -- until there's nobody there but your fellow reds, or blues or yellows, in a town that is far too big for just a portion of the people there. And that's when the true test starts. Good luck. Welcome to Awash's fifth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. This log can be used for either phase of the event; please just mark clearly when it is happening and which colors can respond to the prompt. Please remember as well to let us know if your character passes or fails these tests! You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well. If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

[lonered]

[Mommy issues, abandonment issues, difficulty fitting in. Discipline problems. The list goes on, Dave.]


This place finds new ways to suck all the time.

They have to be somewhere. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
They're fucking with us. Separating us from friends to throw us off.

Former knight... in space armor.

Now I'm just. Uh. Operative in a mask?

[parodeity]

[ wow they share some things ]

so
do you still have your roomies at least?

[lonered]

Last I checked, I think so. But I don't see much of them to begin with.

And... it seems like there are fewer and fewer people all the time.

It's because of the quests.

Right?

[parodeity]

i dont know
i mean
yes i think the other colors went poof bc of the quests
but the people who just disappear fullstop
i dont know what causes that

[lonered]

Yeah the disappearances now seem related.

But the other ones, the ones that've been happening all along...
Who the hell knows about those.

I'm not even sure how we'd begin finding out.

[parodeity]

god only knows
so hey
im running out of paper
do you wanna come in and talk like real human beings

[lonered]

Mostly human beings... but sure.

[But Keith will drop his notebook and tuck his quill away. Sure. They can be actual people for a while.]

[parodeity]

Will you accept "humanoid shaped people"?

[lonered]

I can accept that, yes. Good compromise.

[So.] What're they trying to tempt you away with?

[parodeity]

My turntables. Pictures of my sister. John's Dad's hat.

[lonered]

Not tempting enough though, huh?

[Keith thinks he might've fallen for the pictures, honestly, but maybe he's fortunate that hasn't popped up. And now he can brace for it if it does.]

[parodeity]

Not if "success" is the way to bring them all back.

[ he's...

really clinging to that possibility. ]

[lonered]

Yeah. And that's a possibility... but we sure as hell don't know one way or another.

[Keith is sick of the no information, all just rhymes and crap from #FFFFFF. Sick to absolute death.]

[parodeity]

...Well. Want to eat some of the meals I have stocked? John makes some in advance sometimes.
