Event Eight.

[awashmods]

To thee I'll return, overburdened with care; The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there. No more from the cottage again will I roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.

he Town is quiet this week. No sudden quests on the forum post, no roars of werewolves in the distance... just peaceful, peaceful quiet. Of course, it's hot as hell right now, but that aside, it's pretty pleasant. You probably don't want to wander around the Town right now, but... Naturally, now's when the Town is going to start thoroughly encouraging you to do just that. You do want to find your doorway back home, don't you? Better get searching! And don't mind the other worlds you might end up stumbling into first. Welcome to Awash's eighth 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!

(He has all the sympathy for your older siblings... o.o Does Tonbokiri have to become like an older brother to you, as well?)

Tonbokiri nods along to Ryouma's monologue, but he genuinely is listening carefully. His own home province of Mikata was mostly field and forest, so he has little knowledge of the ocean. But he can feel a keen understanding listening to Ryouma describe it. How alive it is supposed to be, and how very dead the water here is in comparison.
It doesn't surprise him too much that he and Mutsunokami-dono had this conversation as well. That sword certainly took on his master's love for the sea.

"Perhaps there is hope that it will come alive again yet, once we restore its colour."

(Ryouma is an Adult, now, he doesn't need another big brother.)

(But Tonbokiri is pretty cool, so he could get away with playing older brother, probably.)

Restoring the ocean's color is definitely always int he back of Ryouma's mind, though. But it also frustrates him if he thinks about it for too long because how do they do that? Honestly, how have they been restoring any colors at all? To his knowledge, there haven't been any obvious instructions, and there sure as hell haven't been any captors or overlords making an appearance to clarify anything. Which doesn't help.

"Mm. And I bet that'll take a whole lotta people and a whole lotta concentration." Since. You know. The ocean is quite vast. "But when we do it, I'll be one of the first out there celebrating."

He chuckles and raises his glass.

"May we toast that success then, as well!" And may they have the sake to do it with.

"I can imagine that it will take at least that much. Like the sun was. And Mr. White had said it was to restore the sun, so hopefully we will likewise know what we are working towards next time."
