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!

[DON'T DIE

anyway, gandharva's fast, so he slides on out pretty quickly! once he's gone, the remaining tarakas don't seem quite as interested in okuni anymore—which is to say they're absolutely still a threat, but they're not going to chase her down to the ends of the earth.

humans don't make for sufficient food, after all.]

[dies

JK Okuni is still alive. but THAT'S STRANGE!!! The change of behavior does not go at all unnoticed by Okuni, who eyes the taraka a safe distance away, then finally turns and leaves through the same exit she entered from. hopefully, she'll meet Gandharva on the other side, because she nyooms towards him with a sort of questioning look on her face.]

You didn't trip and fall before you left, did you?

[are u OKAY RURU]

[ditherer]

[there's a brief look of relief in his eyes when he sees that okuni is safe and sound—though it's soon replaced by a wry smile.]

Were you hoping I would?

[osuni]

[She saw that, Ruru... Now you can never take it back.]

I just thought it would have been funny.

[She says, without any real conviction behind it. She's glad he's okay!!

And also, she has many questions.]

Does that happen every time you go back?

[ditherer]

Not always. Never for the first while, at least.

[osuni]

[Ruva. . .]

Appearances really are deceiving... [Okuni says, ominously at first like she's suddenly figured Gandharva out!! then,] I would never have guessed that you'd be from a world with giant monsters like those. You seem more of the soft sunshine and flowers sort.

[bc he's soft and noodley...]

[ditherer]

... Soft sunshine and flowers?

[really.]

[osuni]

You know, because of your reserved personality and small stature!

[ditherer]

... While I assume this logic makes sense in your own head, I don't follow.

[osuni]

All you have to know is that you look a bit wimpy, so I imagined you came from a nice place... But I suppose I've seen the error of my ways.

[congrats ruva, for being the only person to get any sort of real apology from Okuni.]

I mean, you still look wimpy, so it's even more impressive that you're surprisingly tough.
