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.

[THAT TOPIC CHANGE??? CARAMIA???]

After so rudely leaving without even telling anyone, there's no way we'd just let you stay here on this island.

[yeah, that's her way of saying that she's HERE TO RESCUE Y'ALL, but without actually saying it...

She leans in despite all the guts, eyes narrowed as she takes in Caramia's appearance.]

You look terrible, Doris-papa.

[ Let him live??? ]

It wasn't as if it were planned on our end. Or even consensual-- really, most of us were waiting for... er... [ He pauses for just a moment, and there's a very big conflict between wanting to point out that this implied that Okuni is here to save them, which is great! But also the fact he just called her Papa. In reference to Doris, sure, but...!!!!!! ]

What... was that? [ There may or may not be an excited glint in his eyes, even if his hands are currently squished in the belly of a siren. Quick, Okuni, it's not too late to change your mind and leave him here. ]

[HM, OKUNI STILL DOESN'T LIKE THIS

but for entirely different reasons now??? She catches that glint of excitement in his eye, and she'd probably assume that it's excitement at the prospect of going home and eating fish that he doesn't have to gut himself but

he's asking her a question??]

That you look terrible? I'm not saying it to be mean, [maybe only 5% mean] because it's true.

[ surely, this young strapping individual is not excited bc she called him papa?? she said that only to be 50% mean????

You don't have to worry about Doris. Someone went to the trouble of taking care of all the pets that were left behind.
