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!

[Kaoru is just passing by when she hears the yelling. She's peeking over the well and. Yup. They have people down there again. She cups her hands around her mouth and calls down.]

Hey! Do you need any help getting out of there?

[That's a legit question when some people have powers they can use to get out themselves.]

[ --wait, was that a voice from up above his head? he's pretty sure that was definitely a voice from up above his head. the water's splashed all over his glasses, so all he can see when he looks up is a blurry, refracted circle of light, but now is not the time to be worrying about things like perfectly clear vision, not when there could be an actual, real life person out there who could get him out.

Michael struggles back to his feet, shivering a little from the cold water, and cups his own hands around his mouth to yell back up. because obviously more yelling is the answer here!! ]


Hey! If that's somebody out there, I'm - I'm super stuck down here! A whole bunch of us are!

[ please be a real person and not an echo or a figment of his freaked out brain ]

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-11 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay! I'll get you out!

[Last time when she jumped down she had totally freaked out Mafuyu...but she kind of doesn't want to keep shouting. Hm. She thinks about it for a moment before she shrugged to herself. Ah, well.]

Don't freak out, okay?

[That's all the warning he gets before she's reaching a hand out and he starts floating out of the water like he's being picked up by some invisible force.]

[And that

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-12 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you telling me not to-- [ aaaaaand that question cuts off into a pretty impressive scream as he starts rising out of the water, because what the hell ]

Is it you doing that?!
queenofminiskirts: (other || ...funny story.)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-13 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[And this is why she's not down in the well this time. Maybe she should just stick with the magic floating rock gag after all?]

Yeah, it's just me! You'll be out of there in no time! [Even though she continues to pull him up at a steady, slow pace. She could rocket him out of there but that seems like it'd be traumatic. Still, it doesn't take her long to get him out of the well and set him down on the ground.]

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-13 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy crap, could you have given me some warning? [ once he's set back down on solid ground, his knees give way under him. what a day this is turning out to be... ] Don't get me wrong! I'm grateful for the rescue, but I thought my heart was gonna stop.

Sorry. It just always seem like it's faster this way. [She crouches down so they could be face to face.] Besides, I'm not sure there's a way to really prepare someone to be picked up like that. At least, I haven't found one.

[ he looks like he wants to argue for a sec, but after a moment, he shrugs, head moving in the universal motion for 'fair enough'. ]

You got me there. And hey, you sure did get me out, so... thanks.

[ he sits back in a way that's a little comfier, rather than just a crumpled mess. ] So like... now you gotta spill, what was that? Magic? Superpowers? Are you psychic or something?
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || how about that)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-16 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

[She's going to move to sit beside him, her hands on her knees and with her head turned so her cheek was resting on the back of her hands.]

You know, you're the first person to ask me if I was psychic. [It wasn't the first thing he listed but at least it was there!] I'm an esper! I can't read minds or anything like that though, my only power is psychokinesis.

[ now that things have finally slowed down, Michael takes off his glasses to wipe the well water off of them with the only dry part of his hoodie he's got left. ]

Hey, I had to make sure I had all my bases covered, right? But oh man, seriously? [ he's starting to sound genuinely giddy about this as he slides his glasses back on his face. welcome back, sweet vision! ] Psychokinesis on its own is still way incredible! I know I was freaking out while it happened, but you literally just picked me up with your mind, how is that not awesome?
queenofminiskirts: (cheerful || teasing)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-20 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[It was always nice to meet someone who was excited about her powers.]

Well, I'd say it was pretty awesome! [She lifts her head so she could hold out a hand for him to shake.] I'm Kaoru Akashi! It's nice to meet you!

[ he kinda just stares at her hand for a second before he takes it with a grin. ] Michael Mell. How's it hanging?

[ a rhetorical question, apparently, cause as he drops her hand he's looking around, a look of clear disturbance on his face as the weird colour situation of their surroundings hits him. ] Hey, where even are we?
queenofminiskirts: (other || ...funny story.)

...once again I forget to close a SMALL tag. /sigh

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-21 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She matches his grin with one of her own though it turns a bit sheepish at his second question.]

Well. None of us are really sure. We've decided to call the town Chroma. All we know is that wherever this is, it's not where any of us came from and that we've been brought here from different worlds.

The good news is! [Because good news is well, good, right?] Everyone's been working together to figure this place out! And with everyone pitching in like that I'm sure we'll figure out what's going on in no time!

[Optimism! She has it in spades.]

[ give him a hot minute, Kaoru, or maybe even three of 'em, he's just gonna need to process all of that. ]

Wait, wait, so literally everyone here's all been dragged in from different dimensions? Like some kinda massive-scale multiversal Out of This World kinda scenario? [ beat. ] Actually, that's not the best comparison, but seriously, what the hell?
queenofminiskirts: (other || ...funny story.)

And yet we cannot live without it.

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-23 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She'll give him all the time he needs because goodness knows. She had been freaking out in her own way too and her world was pretty damn weird.]

Yeah. Some people are from places with magic and there are these other kids from a world almost everyone has super powers.

What's "Out of this World"? [A movie maybe? Or some kind of video game?]
retrobeats: (Mistic)

truly, it is a hard life that we lead.

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-23 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he opens his mouth. closes it again. last week his best friend swallowed a computer that turned him into a jerk and he is literally right now sitting here talking to a psychic, so... magic and superpowers, sure. that checks out!

he sticks both of his hands under his glasses to rub his palms over his eyes, anyway. ]
God. That's really, really cool, but... honestly, what a week.

[ anyway!! a distraction! a distraction is good! ] Oh, it's this video game? A pretty old one, but I dig that kinda thing. It's about this scientist who accidentally opens a hole in time and space and gets sucked through to an alien planet. He even has to climb out a pond when he first gets there.
queenofminiskirts: (other || ...funny story.)

We have no one to blame but ourselves.

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's a lot to take in, right? Don't worry, you sort of get used to it.

[Oh, videogames! She's not that into the old ones but video games in general were a thing she's missed.] That does sound like what's happening to here. [Just replace 'pond' with 'well'.] I play more of the new stuff. Oh, and online games too! I hope the guys I normally play with are doing okay without me there...

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-24 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You're a gamer? [ he brightens up a little bit at that, if only slightly. ] MMOs are pretty sweet, there's this group I play Warcraft with back home--

[ geez, back home. apparently he's not done processing yet, 'cause between saying those words with his mouthflap and hearing Kaoru say she hopes her online buddies are doing okay, it kinda hits him all over again. ]

... hey, uh. I totally get if there's no way you know the answer to this, but. It just hit me that, how we were saying how we're all from different dimensions? How does that work time-wise, I mean, is this like a Narnia gig where if we ever figure out how to get back we'll wind up right back when we left, or is time passing back home right now?

[ god, he hopes it's not the latter option. ]
queenofminiskirts: (unsure || idk...)

[She doesn't have as much time to put into it as she'd like, because school and her full time job as a government epser, but she did enjoy playing. But her enthusiasm dies as his does.]

I don't know...I think someone went back for a little bit and it sounds like no time had passed. But it's never happened to me so I'm not sure. I think that's something a lot of people are worried about. [She knows she is, when she allows herself the time to think about it.] Sorry, I wish I had a better answer for you.

[ he shakes his head, trying to contain how much dread that uncertainty fills him with, and not entirely succeeding. ]

No, it's cool. [ it's not, but she shouldn't apologise for stuff that's out of her control. ] I mean, you're in the same boat as me, it's not your fault you don't know.
queenofminiskirts: (smile || I'm here to save you)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-27 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[You know what? She's going to lean over and try to pull him into a hug. It would probably be awkward at this angle except she doesn't have to stay grounded and can shift the angle of her body accordingly by holding herself slightly off the ground.]

It'll be okay. We'll figure it out together with everyone.
retrobeats: (OK Soda)

[ at first, he tenses up when she goes in for the hug. Michael's a tactile person by nature, but for a good couple of seconds that tactile nature is at war with the part of him that's just straight-up uncomfortable around people he doesn't know, ie, most people.

but it's also been a long day and a long week and being on the receiving end of a well-meant gesture like that is resonating hard with both of those things. so, gradually, that tension drains right out of him. with a weak laugh: ]
I can't believe I'm getting a floaty psychic hug and a pep talk from a literal esper.
queenofminiskirts: (cheerful || teasing)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-29 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaoru has always found something very reassuring about physical touches--hand holding, hugs and all that stuff. So it's natural for her to just reach out like this. She pulls back enough to grin at him.]

And a cute one at that!

[Because she is absolutely not embarrassed to call herself cute.]
retrobeats: (Apple Slice)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-07-31 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he blinks, with a look of incredulous, but pleased, surprise. ]

Love the confidence.

[ he does! more people should be as genuinely comfortable in their own skins as that!

though, speaking of comfort, being emotionally vulnerable with someone he's just met, no matter how kind, is definitely outside of his own comfort zone. now he no longer feels like he's on the verge of immediately running and hiding for the rest of forever with how much nope is in his system, it's time to walk it back a bit. ]


Thanks for the cooldown hug, I think I'm good now? Didn't mean to get all heavy on you like that.
queenofminiskirts: (soft smile || right?)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-08-05 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Naturally, she'll let go without any further comment.] Don't worry about it. This whole thing is pretty stressful.
