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.

... Thanks. I'll make it up to you.

[ Somehow? Somehow. She'll figure something out. ]

[ditherer]

No need.

[time to get on his back!]

[scooptimistic]

One want.

[ excellent counter, Maya. But okay, she's just going to get herself up there. Thankfully, by rules of Atlus, she does not actually weigh all too much. ]

[ditherer]

You and Minato really are too similar...

[seeing as how he doesn't have to suppress his power in this form, it doesn't matter either way—as a human, she essentially weighs nothing to him.]

To the boats, then?

[scooptimistic]

To the boats!

[ complete with dramatic arm point that somehow manages to avoid walloping him in the head. She should probably add this skill to her resume. ]

... I din't think I've ever heard that one before, though. Did you piggyback him, too?

[ditherer]

[amazing.

anyhow, he starts walking.]

No. He's just very insistent, like you.

[scooptimistic]

... I hate to break it to you, Ruva, but there are a ton of stubborn types here.

[ A TON. ]

[ditherer]

You're stubborn in the same way.

[scooptimistic]

... Now that, I can't deny. And if you know both of us, then you're probably stuck with it now.

[ditherer]

[he lets out a light laugh.]

Sounds like it'll be just a little bothersome.

[scooptimistic]

Just a little. Who knows, though, maybe you'll get used to it.

[ or he'll continue to suffer the both of them, we just don't know. ]

[ditherer]

It doesn't sound like I have much of a choice.

[scooptimistic]

Sure you do! You could tell me to leave you alone and I'd think about it.

[ditherer]

That seems a little mean.

[scooptimistic]

Eh. I've heard it before!

[ and has she similarly disregarded it, absolutely. ]

[ditherer]

[maya...]

That doesn't mean it should be repeated.

[scooptimistic]

[ She just laughs, quietly, plunking her chin on his shoulder. ]

Maybe not. Well, if you don't want to say it, that's fine too.

[ditherer]

There's worse company out there.

[scooptimistic]

You mean like those power-sealing monster things of yours?

[ditherer]

[it takes a moment before he recalls what she means.]

... That's a bit of an extreme example.

[scooptimistic]

It was the first thing that came to mind, actually!

[ditherer]

I wouldn't say I usually keep the company of those things.

[scooptimistic]

I can't say I blame you... they don't look like the nicest guys to hang out with.

[ To put it mildly. ]
