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.

Maybe. But we're not in the middle of a fight or anything like that at the moment, so you can take a moment to rest.

[... That's true. And also... it's endearing. Gandharva really does care quite a lot, doesn't he..?]

... You're right. Thanks for worrying about me, Ruva-san. I'll try not to worry you too much from here on out.

[ditherer]

[minato no

lightly, he raps his knuckles against minato's arm.]

Don't concern yourself with worrying about me. There must be others worried about you, after all.

[messianic]

[Ruva.....!!]

Does that mean you're not worried at all...? [It's said with a hint of good humor, at least; he's teasing and won't be offended either way.]

[ditherer]

Do you want me to be?

[messianic]

No.

[That's an easy one.]

If you aren't worried, that's probably for the better, honestly. I'd rather you not have to worry too much about something like this.

[ditherer]

If only that worked on everyone.

[messianic]

... What do you mean?

[ditherer]

I get the feeling that if you tried that line on a number of people, the majority of them would ignore it.

[messianic]

[......... hey]

I... guess that's true. It's in peoples' nature to worry about people they care about, no matter what we try to do.

[ditherer]

And you seem like the popular sort, so that must mean quite a lot of worrying.

[messianic]

[....... Ruva.]

... I'm not popular.

[Don't be embarrassing!!]

And I hope I don't worry that many people... I'll always be fine, so it's nothing they really need to focus on.

[ditherer]

... No one is "always fine", Minato.

[messianic]

I think I do a pretty good job of it.

[A thumbs up!! As if to emphasize that....has he convinced you yet...]

I'll have to try harder to convince everyone.

[ditherer]

At this exact moment? You're not very convincing.

[messianic]

[WOW......]

... I guess not, if you're that unconvinced...

[Whew...]
