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!

Something like that?

[She peels open the top of the box and starts rummaging in it.] We didn't do much spying, but we do things like bodyguard duty, dealing with criminals and terrorists, disaster relief and answering the complaint hotline.

[One of those things is not like the others...]

That sounds like a lot. [There are a lot of responsibilities involved in being a special duty esper. Fighting terrorists is especially surprising.]

How long have you been doing this?
queenofminiskirts: (other || ...funny story.)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-07-30 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's disaster relief, isn't it? The only one where they don't terrorize anyone.]

It is. I ended up missing my friends birthday twice in a row because of work...and I couldn't even explain why we ditched her both times.

[She still felt bad about that.]

I've been on active duty since I was ten. But they tried to limit our workload at first.

[He would hope not!

He understands feeling bad about disappointing someone over that. Working since she was ten must be pretty harsh...]


Aren't there laws against that?

[Because seriously.]

[She smiled at him and it wasn't her usual bright grins but something very soft and fond. Because he was probably referring to the fact that they had been children and almost no one had treated them like children, not even back when they were five.]

Did you know, I hadn't gone to school until I was ten. Because I 'm a high level esper so most schools didn't...want do deal with that, I guess. I don't blame them! [She laughs a little like this was no big deal.] I had a bad temper when I was a kid and I had really poor control!

Anyway, the school I ended up attending was affiliated with Babel, the organization I'm employed by. Even my middle school and highschool are!

[And she knew that, for her, Shiho and Aoi, if it weren't they may not have been able to keep going to school at all.]

For a high level esper like me, Babel isn't just my workplace, it's an organization that will help me learn to control my powers and support me in any way it can...and not just me but other espers too. It's the only place that does that in Japan.

And besides! When I do work as a special duty esper, people get to see that these powers aren't something to be scared of! That we can use these powers to help people! If we can change people's minds about espers then things will get better for espers in the future!

[He was, because it's not really right, in his opinion. It's true that he doesn't know much about Kaoru's powers, but not being able to go to school until she was ten? Already being made to work at such a young age? It seems... unfair.

But as she explains more, he starts to understand better. As unfair as it might seem to him, this organization was helping her learn to control her powers. And they were helping her show the world what she could do; what she could be.

Even if he doesn't agree with it happening at such a young age... he can understand Kaoru's feelings about it.]


...I get it.

[He nods.]

Then it was really good for you, right? Babel?
queenofminiskirts: (soft smile|| I believe)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-08-04 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [And she knows, that there are places in the world where things are so much worse, that once upon a time, Japan had been that bad too, but things will change one day. And to make sure that happens, she just needs to work even harder.] I won't lie and say that all if it was good, but I met a lot of people at Babel that have shaped who I am and I wouldn't trade them for anything and I know it's the same for them.

[And then she has the look of someone who finally found what she was looking for and she pulls out a music box with a photograph in it and leans over to show him what's inside.] Look! This is Minamoto and the three of us! I was a pretty cute kid, right?

[Akira leans in to see, smiling when he looks over the picture. Somehow, even if he saw this out of context, he feels like he'd know immediately this is Kaoru and Shiho.]

You haven't changed much, huh?

[But his tone is light and teasing. It is a cute picture, even if the man who must be Minamoto doesn't look all that convinced.]

Hey! I'm a lot more mature now! And I'm way less of a brat.

[She's trying to pout but she's clearly not even the least bit upset.]
theshowsover: (you just might see a ghost tonight)

[personal profile] theshowsover 2018-08-07 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Less of a brat, I'll give you.

[His grin gets a little bigger, amused at the pout. Come at him, Kaoru.]
queenofminiskirts: (other || HUFF)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-08-09 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Why you--! [She's laughing but that doesn't mean she isn't going to pull a cushion over with her power and launch it at his face.]

Take that!

Ah-

[He tries to block the pillow, but his puny human capabilities are no real match for telekinesis.

Unfortunately, his Persona aren't really made for play-fighting, either. Looks like he is at a disadvantage.]
