Event Six.

[awashmods]

If you see this hairy creature Your first choice should always be to run Otherwise you had better hope You have silver bullets in a gun.

he full moon hangs brightly over the Town, hovering so low that it almost feels as though you could reach out and touch it. It should be comforting. But as the howl of wolves fills the air, it's anything but. There are werewolves on the prowl, and their target is very clear -- the Town won't be able to last without your help. Welcome to Awash's sixth 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.

[ The expression that crosses Aqua's face is one of sheer relief, and she breathes out a quiet sigh as she nods. Good--she could save her. That's one less victim, one less person that turns as the moon rises. ]

Thank goodness. Do you need a hand up?

[ Elizabeth smiles back at her relief, but starts to stand up herself. ]

I've got it, but thank you.

[ And she's quite sincere in that, since the consideration isn't something she's brushing off. Once she's standing, she shakes her head and looks in the direction of where the wolves had gone. ]

Sorry that I caused you trouble. I've beeen trying to stay hidden, but, well... [ She shrugs ] That's easier said than done, apparently.

There's no need to thank me.

[ She lingers close to the girl, because... maybe it's something about her, or maybe Aqua's just on such high alert that her protective instincts are in overdrive. Regardless, she shakes her head. ]

It's no trouble. I'm more than happy to help. My name is Aqua; if you need me to escort you somewhere safe, I wouldn't mind.

[ She shakes her head at first, since there's every reason to thank her, but she doesn't object to it. She knows it's a gesture of kindness, so she's grateful for it. ]

It's nice to meet you, Aqua. I'm Elizabeth.

[ ...Though when she offers her help a bit more, Elizabeth murmurs a soft um, and digs into her pocket to pull out a piece of paper. ]

Well... Maybe not escort, exactly. I'm trying to work on the cure. Part of it. [ She hands the slip of paper to Aqua if she's interested. It describes precise instructions for how to add Tangled Snowdrop to a base cure for werewolf infection. ] I don't know what the base cure it's talking about is, but if I can find Tangled Snowdrop, I'm sure I can find someone that's figured out the rest.

A pleasure to meet you, too, Elizabeth.

[ --ah. Aqua takes the slip and reads it over. Tangled Snowdrop... Aqua hands over the paper, then pulls out her own. ]

I'm looking for Grumpy Snowdrop. [ Whoever named these ingredients had a sense of humor... or maybe they're just really descriptive. Either wouldn't surprise her. ] Why don't we look together for what we need? I'm not certain what a Tangled Snowdrop is, but another set of eyes watching your back is never a bad thing.
