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.

[Yusuke's steadier, for sure. Still tired, and he frowns at his inability to use his Persona as he usually would, but he focuses on what can be done right now. He gestures for Keith to follow as he starts to walk.]

Indeed... this place is extremely inhospitable. In more ways than one.

[lonered]

It sucks.

[Keith sums up, but he falls into step along with Yusuke. So their powers are being screwed with (not that he has a power to be screwed with, but he's well aware a lot of the people in the city do) and they're apparently on the menu.

Great.]

We need to figure something out though. Some way to stand against these things.

[bufudyne]

[Yusuke frowns, his eyebrows drawing together.]

Yes, I agree. If we could also figure out a way back without somehow alerting them... it seems like they're in the water everywhere.

[So sneaking doesn't seem like it'd be super lucrative.]

[lonered]

There's a lot of them too. And those are just the ones we can see.

[And yeah how long could they sneak. It's a long swim, right? Since they can't even see where they'd be swimming to.

Keith shakes his head.]

Too many questions not enough answers. I'm getting really sick of that being the trend.

[bufudyne]

Keith, did you hear anything either before you woke up here? Voices, or anything of the sort?

[He's curious about it, whether everyone had the same experience. Or, at the very least, similar.]

[lonered]

...yeah.

[Keith glances away, brow furrowing as the memory surfaces.]

I heard my dad calling for me, which doesn't make any sense. I figured it was probably a dream.

[Though. Was that related to winding up here? Is that how they drew them in?] Did you?

[bufudyne]

Yes... my mother.

[Which, of course, Keith knows is impossible. Yusuke frowns.]

It's strange, considering I'm not certain I even recall what her voice sounded like. It felt like it was.

[lonered]

[Keith does know it's impossible, and he nods, in understanding, of a sort.]

I... I remember my dad's voice.

[Keith nods, but he's still frowning.] But I know he's gone. He died when I was really little. But even knowing that, I was sure it was him.

[So. What gives, Sirens.]
