Event Two.

[awashmods]

Dust if you must, but bear this in mind, Old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go, as go you must, You yourself will make more dust!

t hasn’t been long since you’ve arrived. The dust has settled, so to speak. And there is… a lot of dust. The town is in disrepair. Some efforts have gone into making it a bit better, but it’s going to be a lot of work, there’s no denying that. There are only a few livable buildings right now, and even those are prone to letting the rain in, or missing stairs to the clearly present second floor, floors crumbling or creaking. So it is that after a week or so to get used to their new living quarters.... There’s finally activity on the forum. Activity that doesn’t come from any of the people living here. There’s a stickied forum post, and in it, a single post, from a user FFFFFF: All-endearing cleanliness, Virtue next to godliness, Easiest, cheapest, needfull’st duty, To the body health and beauty; Who that’s human would refuse it, When a little water does it? Requirements: Everyone They only have a bit of time to try to figure out what, exactly, it wants from them -- and then things begin to happen. Welcome to Awash's first event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. 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!

[Aye aye, worrywart Ichinose-san.

Minato really isn't gone long, at least; he returns a couple of minutes later, two rocks in his hand. They're not the same size (he wishes he could've found matching ones, but that's a pipe dream and he knows it), but they're both flat and relatively decent grave markers.

And he'll just come to stand by the grave again while Guren finishes filling it in.]

[swordfucker]

Those are perfect.

[Just finishing with filling the dirt in and patting it down, he stands up and lets Minato set the rocks down. He keeps a hold on the bucket, since it could be useful later, and watches, quiet for a long moment.]

Hopefully they're able to rest in peace. [He can say that much, at least, glancing back towards Minato.] Thanks for the help.

[messianic]

[And, reverently, Minato lays down the makeshift headstones, and nods, stepping back solemnly.

A slow breath in, and:]

Thank you too, Ichinose-san. I'm glad...we could let them rest like this.

[swordfucker]

Yeah.

[A pause, a long, silent look at the makeshift grave, and then he sighs. He's tired, still.] I should probably head back to the house to make sure it's not burnt to the ground.

[messianic]

[... Yeah. That's pretty fair. Besides, Minato's pretty sure he's taken up enough of Guren's time, when he's sure there are other people Guren's worried about (that he won't admit to, probably).

So Minato tucks his hands into his pockets, lifts his chin and nods.]

Try to get some rest when you can, Ichinose-san. Talk to you later.

[For his part, Minato will go check on the people he's worried about too--in a moment. It's quieter here, and he's got things to think about, after all, one of the greatest of which being Guren himself, after all of that.]
