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.

Planning on using the crystal for something?

[ It seems easier just to kill them outright without bothering with the purification process, so presumbably Dextera needs a crystallized siren soul for whatever reason. Maybe he's starting a paperweight collection. ]

[ dextera nods, and he starts to explain, lifting a hand into the air—and guren’s warning resounds in the back of his mind. be careful who you explain yourself to. that tension with ryo is still raw, even now, and even if ryo knows exactly who he is and what he can do, remembering the warning makes him cool off. ]

…

[ it’s obvious that he changes course with what he wants to say, anyway. ]

Later. We should move again.

So you don't want to talk to me about it.

[ Oh, well, it's not like it's terribly important for him to know right now; he'll ask Dextera again later, when the lingering tension has dispersed. He nods his head, motioning for Dextera to lead the way. ]

Let's go.

[passio]

[ it doesn’t feel good, to have ryo point it out like that. he feels like he’s hurting a friend, and he remembers, however awkwardly, that ryo reacted poorly to the accusation of not caring. ]

…

[ he moves onwards, and it’s clearer now that they’re heading toward the sound of people. ]
