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.

[ i mean, it is pretty great when you put it that way ]

Careful! If your hair gets caught under the wheels, you're gonna be in big trouble!

[ he feels like a nagging parent, which is the worst feeling, but he would much rather feel bad than crush Okuni's head like a grape because she couldn't keep herself in her seat... but he doesn't nag that hard. It's cute seeing someone this excited over a car. ]
osuni: (just a flesh wound)

[Okuni looks thrilled at being so close to danger, but she finally pops back into her seat to prevent Lupin from getting any heart attacks. She immediately stands up on her knees though, because she has to at least violate one safety rule at a time.

This is a lot smoother than riding a horse or a wagon, which is all Okuni has to compare it to. She’s never been fortunate enough to be carried in a litter, not that she’d ever want to after being in A CAR]


Let’s pretend something’s chasing us! Try and go faster!

[LET’S DO IT, FAST AND FURIOUS TOKYO DRIFT!!]

[ standing up on her knees is fine, it's 1853 and traffic rules are nothing but a faint twinkle in the hearts of concerned citizens. Her enthusiasm is a little infectious; he flashes her a grin. ]

Faster? You better hang on.

[ he pulls out of the mansion gates and onto the street - the mansion is secluded enough that there are rarely people around anyway, but in this version of London, there's nobody around. Which means it's totally fine for him to put the pedal to the metal. He drops his foot, and the car sputters out a big puff of steam as it kicks forward at a much faster speed, zooming past hedges and fences. Now that they're out of the house, Steel London is more easily visible - smoke stacks reaching up into the sky, tall buildings surrounded by an even taller wall that encircles the city along with the two of them. ]
osuni: (an eagle eye)

[This is definitely not at all like riding a horse oR A CART, THE CAR IS GOING SO FAST!!!

The wind probably whips Okuni's big ole hair around hard enough to hit her in the face, but she's too awestruck by the sight of Steel London to really care... hopefully it doesn't hit Lupin in the face though.

some of the castles back in Japan are pretty massive, but this is like... A WHOLE OTHER THING ENTIRELY. she is completely struck speechless for a long while, congrats lupin for achieving something no one else has??]


...What is this place?

[She's no stranger to industrialization -- guns are touted as the newest advances back home, but still, seeing all of this on such a massive scale is pretty amazing.]
heartsteals: (about an hour with me)

London! You've never been before?

[ he is lucky enough to not get slapped in the face by Okuni's mane of hair and subsequently crash into a wall, yes. It might seem obvious that she's never been there, but he's not one to assume anything - everything about Chroma is so unpredictable, even unimaginable, that he has no way of predicting what anyone knows. ]

It's been the technological hub of Europe ever since the invention of the NeoSteam engine. Lots of industry built it up even bigger than it was before.
