Event Nine.

[awashmods]

Thus, on Life’s gloomy sea, Heareth the marinere Voices sweet, from far and near, Ever singing in his ear, “Here is rest and peace for thee!”

t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began. On one side, an island, and a ticking clock to a gruesome death. On the other, the slow realization that those bonds everyone has been forging might mean much, much more than they first thought. Welcome to Awash's ninth 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.

... Something like this happened before. I don't think they're truly gone.

[messianic]

Right...

[He frowns a little, looking around.]

But in that case--were they kidnapped by someone? Did they go somewhere? Are they in another version of the town, like before...? There are too many options.

[troubadamsel]

Last time, it was merely a matter of waiting it out... but I don't care for that option.

[messianic]

... Me neither. If they're in danger, then waiting it out could be--

[... Well. Fatal.]

We have to at least try.

[troubadamsel]

Yes. We must leave no stone unturned, no matter how dangerous the location.

[messianic]

... You mean the forest, don't you?

[troubadamsel]

... Reluctantly, yes I do.

[she hates that fucking forest.]

[messianic]

[...A sigh.]

Well. I'm sure Ichinose-san is already thinking of that too--if he organizes something, it might be safer than all of us trying to go alone.

For now, do you mind helping me search the rest of the town, Maribelle-san? A headcount could be good to have.

[troubadamsel]

Of course. I trust him, and I trust you. Let's scour the entire town.

[messianic]

Got it. Then... which way have you started with, Maribelle-san? Let's start with a different direction.

[troubadamsel]

I started in Flavo, from my house, and my neighbors.

[messianic]

And I started in Bluo... let's head to Ruga, then, and see who we can find?

[Seems logical enough, right?]

[troubadamsel]

Indeed. We'll give Ruga a throughout search... and if we see anything unusual, no matter how small, we must speak up.

[messianic]

Right, agreed. This way, then.

Who have you noticed missing so far, Maribelle-san?
