Event Seven.





The lives of men, the lives of men
With every sheaf are bound!
We are the blessing which annuls
The curse upon the ground!
And he who reaps the Golden Grain
The Golden Love hath found.





he setting is actually rather miraculous. In the center of the Town, not far from the well, there are tables set up, complete with bright orange tableclothes, and at the tables, there is a spot for each and every character, both new and old. They have a fancy placeholder with their names written at their spot, and at each spot is a meal they've been craving since they arrived. It's colorful, and delicious, and can be as fancy and spectacular as they desire.

Of course, as nice as that is... maybe they should go save the people in the well first? There's definitely some yelling going on down there. Seems like there are some new friends, and the Town's welcoming everyone in style this time!

Enjoy the feast; you made it through the Town's tests and are still here!




Welcome to Awash's seventh event log/first intro log hybrid, everyone! If there are any questions, please ask them here, and don't forget to welcome all of the new players here! Thank you!

[Kairi is still kinda reeling from all that's happened...but at least she has her own room with a bed. And a neat laptop! It's the small things really, and at least her two very best friends are here. But they aren't staying with her, and she feels a little nervous.

The sound of the door opening makes her jump a little, and she pokes her head out of the room. There's a boy in the house now, and she realizes this is the roommate she was told briefly about.]


Oh uh...hey! Looks like we're living together. I'm Kairi!

[ sooner or later, Michael kinda hit his limit at that weird party. there's only so much of a gathering of a buncha complete strangers he can take, even at the best of times. that, and it's really starting to hit him that... he's stuck here. and there's nothing he can do about it.

so, he takes to the streets of this weird, creepy town, headphones playing music way too loud as he pokes aimlessly around the buildings and tries to process everything. he doesn't notice that his feet are drawing him to the red district until he's pausing outside one of the run-down houses.

huh. he has a Feeling about this one. weird. he shrugs after a moment before trying the door. might as well, right-- oh, there's someone already in here? ]


Oh-- hey there. [ he tugs his headphones down around his neck. there's still music blasting out of them; Kairi can probably hear the tinny sound of the beat even from as far away as she is. ] Uh, I'm Michael. Sup?
guideyouhome: (Smile 4)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-09 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi Michael! [She steps out of her room and closes the door behind her.] You seem just as lost as me. That means... you must be new here too, huh?

[Kairi approaches him with a smile. As she gets closer, she can hear the music from his headphones.]

Woah...what're you listening to?
retrobeats: (Mr. Pibb)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-10 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ honestly, Michael is pretty much burned out on human interaction for the day (or week), but-- Kairi seems like she's at least trying to be nice and is also apparently his new roomie (???), so... he should probably try to make an effort back. he smiles, putting his hands in his pockets. ]

Man, I'm that obvious? Yeah, I got done doing my best impression of "Truth Coming Out Of Her Well To Shame Mankind" a few hours ago, so... [ and here he pulls his hands back out of his pockets just to do some really dorky finger guns ] --snap?

[ and then she asks about his music, and he visibly brightens, that smile reaching his eyes. ]

Oh, it's the Front Bottoms, have you heard of them? Actually, they're totally not my usual thing, but they've got this super cool kind of rawness to their lyrics, you know?

[ okay so admittedly, that is also exactly why they're kinda his go-to for when his mood is tanking, but that doesn't mean he doesn't dig their tunes!! ]
guideyouhome: (Smile up)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-10 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. [She laughs a little.] I'm just as new as you. That whole well thing was weird, huh?

[Kairi can see that change in mood when she mentions his music. Admittedly she doesn't listen to a lot of music back home. Not since Sora and Riku left. But she does smile and try to stay interested in the topic.]

Uh... I haven't sorry. Do you like them?
retrobeats: (Hubba Bubba Soda)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-11 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he nods fervently at that comment about the well, because plus freakin' one. ] Super weird! And I mean, I don't know about you, but it's not like it's gotten any less weird now we got out, either.

Yeah! Like, they're not one of my favourite artists ever, it's not like I keep their entire discography on here, but the energy there is on point, and some of their early stuff's got some hella nifty horns in the instrumentation that I really dig-- [ Kairi. Kairi you know not what you have unleashed by encouraging him. save yourself. ] Oh hey, hang on! Since we're apparently gonna be roomies and all, I'll totally lend you my mp3 for a few hours sometime if you ever wanna give them a try--

[ ugh. a stray thought and then a frown crosses his face, putting a dent in his enthusiasm. ] Or I mean, I would, but uh, I'm not really sure how much longer my battery's gonna last, and I heard from someone else that we're kinda stuck in the dark ages here technology-wise, so... once it's dead I'm probably gonna have to hold a funeral for it.

[ there's something else to add to the list of things that are gonna suck about being stuck here... ]
guideyouhome: (Think)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-11 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...hmmm...

[Kairi takes a moment to brainstorm. It would really suck if he couldn't listen to his music after being so excited about it.]

Well we do have those laptops. I don't know what they're running on but maybe you can use it too? Do you have the cord for your mp3?
retrobeats: (Orbitz)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-12 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
We've got laptops? [ actually, now he's thinking about it, there was that one infodumpy guy with the coat earlier who mentioned there being a forum... ] It's worth a shot! Hang on, I got my cable somewhere in my bag--

[ and he'll just promptly swing his bag off his back and start rummaging through it. ]
guideyouhome: (Smile 2)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-12 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Kairi grins at him and leaves for a moment to go to her room. She brings the laptop back out and sits on the floor with it. Her hexcolor reads #ffa0a8 at the top of the screen.]

Did you find it?
retrobeats: (Mr. Pibb)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-12 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ when Kairi comes back, Michael's crouched on his knees next to his open bag. he looks up and waves a hand, clutching his prize (aka the coveted cable) triumphantly. ]

Yeah, I got it. [ he adjusts himself slightly so that he's sitting cross-legged on the floor, close enough to see the laptop. ] Oh, is that your hex color thingy?
guideyouhome: (Smile 3)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-13 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I guess so. I still don't totally understand how it all works but... it's a nice color!

[She does like pink.]

Alright, wanna give it a shot?
retrobeats: (Pepsi Fire)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-14 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Let's do this! [ he pulls his headphone cable out of the player's audio jack, finally putting an end to the constant background noise that's been coming out of the 'phones around his neck. connects his charge cable up, plugs the charge cable into the laptop, aaaaaaaaand...

nothing. no reaction from the laptop, nothing to say it's connected, not even some kinda error bar. after a few moments of this total anti-climatic buzzkill, Michael grabs the mp3 to check on it, and... yeah there sure is no sign of a battery charging there. ]


Seriously? Nothing?

[ noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ]
guideyouhome: (Oh....)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-15 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw maaaan. I really thought that was going to work...

[She's not nearly as bummed as he is, but still feels sorry about it. Kairi unplugs it from her computer to hand back to him.]

You still wanna have that funeral?
retrobeats: (Apple Slice)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-16 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he looks glum as he takes it back from her. ] More fool us for thinking creepy fairytale townsville'd make it that easy.

[ and then, without warning, Michael flops forward with a disappointed, frustrated noise that can only be rendered in text as "gaaaaaaaahhhhh", his hood flopping over his head. enjoy having that unexpected upside-down staring match with the cute polar bear face on the back of his head, Kairi. ]

Man, this sucks. Why give us these weird magical laptops at all if they don't even work right? Like, how does that even work with the whole medieval vibe going on with everything else?

[ huffing out The World's Biggest Sigh, he straightens back up. he leans his elbows on his crossed knees and shoots her a genuine smile at the callback to his own dorky joke. ] Yup, guess now we got no choice except to give this little guy a proper send-off. It was cool of you to try saving it, though.
guideyouhome: (Think)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-24 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Kairi jumps a little when he does that, blinking at him. But when it's clear he's just being dramatic, she exhales a soft laugh. The girl lightly pats her back.]

It'll be okay. Maybe we can find another way to fix it. But let's give it a proper farewell.

[She grins then gets a serious look on her face as she folds her hands together.]

May it safely travel to the Underworld.
retrobeats: (Josta)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-24 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ a tiny half-laugh of surprise escapes him, 'cause that was maybe the last thing he expected. he follows suit though, pressing his hands together and doing his best impression of a priest. ]

Though its life was brief, it was full. Let us give thanks for all the gnarly grooves it played to ears that would listen, the car jams it made possible, and the bus rides it made bearable. Amen.

[ to his credit, he only cracked up and broke character maybe twice during that. ]
guideyouhome: (Smile up)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-24 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kairi gives a nod and lets go of her hands. She lets out a soft laugh before leaning back a little.]

Well...Maybe don't throw it away just yet. We can figure out something else I'm sure.
retrobeats: (Moxie)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-25 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, are you kidding? I'm not gonna throw it out, we've been through way too much together.

[ he laughs, pocketing it back in his hoodie before leaning back himself so both palms are resting on the floor behind him. ]

So, totally changing the subject-- I'm pretty sure I've met more people from more places tonight than like, the rest of my life put together, but where're you from?
guideyouhome: (Laugh 3)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-07-29 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Phew! I'm glad; I didn't think you would but I had to be sure!

[Kairi sits back a little after closing the laptop.]

I'm from a world called Destiny Islands. How 'bout you?
retrobeats: (Mr. Pibb)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-30 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Nowhere with a name that exciting, that's for sure. I'm from planet Earth. New Jersey if you wanna get specific with it.
guideyouhome: (Gasp)

[personal profile] guideyouhome 2018-08-02 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
New Jersey? What's it like in New Jersey?
retrobeats: (Pepsi Strawberry Burst)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-08-07 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ huh. how does he even answer that question seriously? ]

It... depends where you go? Where I live's all built up and industrial, and you got the turnpike cutting through everything on its way to New York, but if you head down to the Pine Barrens in South Jersey, that's like all forest. And then there's the Shore, I guess, so... we kinda got a bit of everything? [ beat. ] Y'know, I've never had to think about it that much before.
