Event Eight.





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!

Jersey...that's in Comerica, right?

[It's always fun to travel for free! And they don't even need to spend time in an airplane!]

It's really my mom's place. She's letting me stay here with Aoi and Shiho since we decided to move out of Minamoto's apartment.

[She's opening up one of the boxes and rummaging in it. There should be some dresses in this one, hm...]

Uh - America, yeah. What'd you just call it?

[ different country thing or a different universe thing? he can contemplate that in a moment. ]

Oh, I think I know Shiho! We argued about supervillains one time. [ good times. he plops himself down on the floor to wait, not really wanting to go through boxes of her stuff. ] Does your mom live here too then?
queenofminiskirts: (cheerful || awkward)

The United States of Comerica!

[Which is exactly the same thing except with espers.]

...that's exactly the sort of argument I could imagine Shiho having.

Nope! My mom and my sister usually aren't home. Their jobs keeps them busy and they travel a lot too! And then sometimes they have to drop off the radar because they got caught up in a scandal.

[And you can imagine how lonely such a big house would be if she were by herself. But she's gotten used to that over time.]

... Huh. Close, but still different enough to be weird. [ beat. ] Okay, yeah, definitely putting this one down to many-worlds-fact weirdness.

[ also! that sure is a lot to unpack there, Kaoru! ]

What--? I was gonna say, it sounds like they must trust you a lot to let you loose on a house this nice, but what kinda scandal?
queenofminiskirts: (neutral || how about no)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-26 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's best to just chalk it up to many-worlds-fact weirdness or she'd have to give you the fourthwall and canon explanation of 'it's so the author can just say everything that's inaccurate is because of artistic interpretation'.]

...the sort where they date or sleep with other people's husbands. [She's...actually a bit embarrassed about that.] They're both in the entertainment industry so when these things happen it usually ends up all over the internet and news. That's why I don't really talk about them at school.

[That and she doesn't want people asking her to help the get autographs.]

[ you go with your audacity, zettai karen children author...... ]

Oh. Oh! Yikes! [ THAT WAS NOT THE ANSWER, OR THE FRANKNESS, HE WAS EXPECTING. ] Holy crap, I totally get why you wouldn't wanna talk about that. If that sorta thing got out at my school the poor kid linked to it'd be eaten alive before the end of first period.
queenofminiskirts: (neutral || how about no)

[She is always very frank. She's been told it's part of the reason she's not that popular with guys her age but whatever, man. She hasn't cared about that stuff since she was ten.]

Right? I mean, I don't think I'd get bullied or anything [Because Shiho would probably murder everyone.] but as much as I love my family I'd rather not answer questions about this stuff.

[Thankfully she has a secret government job so Babel has worked to keep her name out of any news.] I wish they'd be more responsible about these things.

[ honestly, it's kinda refreshing. give him straight-forward honesty from anybody any day. ]

Hey, I can't blame you! People getting up in your business about it'd suck in its own way. [ he shrugs. every school has its Jenna Rolan, probably. ] Everyone loves a good rumour mill.

[ beat. ] So, I guess being related to a celebrity really isn't all it's cracked up to be.
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || how about that)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-29 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
They do, don't they?

[She was...actually one of those people. But mostly about harmless stuff and only when it's about her close friends.]

You have no idea. [And also traumatizing like that time when she was five and accidentally sent her mom to the hospital. The news had had a field day about her mom's mysterious injuries and there was so much speculations about what happened...it had been a special kind of awful.] I love them a lot and I support them doing what they love, but... [She shrugs.

She pulls out a shirt from the box finally and looks at it carefully. Then judging that it was good, she draped it over her arm. Then she sat for a moment, looking thoughtful.]


You know. I'm pretty sure there's a videogame console in one of these boxes.
retrobeats: (Moxie)

[ he shrugs at her in return, a sorta, "yeah, what can you do, i guess?" shrug. honestly, he can't even imagine what it could be like being related to a celebrity. being under that kind of scrutiny sounds like a total nightmare to him.

video games, though? video games he understands, and a smile starts to spread its way across his face. ]


Yeah? You wanna dig it out for a spell?
queenofminiskirts: (happy || a job well done)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-08-05 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
That's why I brought it up!

[Okay. But which box is it in? She taps her chin for a moment before lifting her hand, pulling over two of the boxes from the pile to them with her powers.]

I'm pretty sure it's in one of these...you check that one and I'll check this one.

[ Michael kinda just grins even wider when she does that, because god, psychic powers are never not gonna be cool. ]

Sure thing.

[ he gets up onto his knees for more efficient box-searching action, and cracks the one nearest him open. what's insiiiiiide box number one? ]
