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.

[It's partly because she missed him, but alsoooo she's so cold. She's gonna steal that warmth.]

It's really good to see you too! I'm sorry you were worried. All I want now is to go home...

[retrobeats]

[ as it happens, he is a-ok with being a human space heater. the hug is going a long way toward grounding him in a way he didn't know he needed so. it's mutually beneficial! ]

We can do that. I'm way over the amount of people here, so. [ he pulls back. ] Anyone you wanna check on before we blow this popsicle stand?

[ he's selfishly hoping she's gonna say no, but there's a lot of people to account for thanks to this hell week so... he'd get it. ]

[She shakes her head.]

No that's fine. I can talk with Sora and Riku tomorrow.

[Kairi's already caught up with them anyway and spent the week with Sora. There's a chance they might want her to come over with them, but really she just wants to go "home." She's exhausted and has missed her roomie.

She lets Michael go and starts to walk with him to the house.]

I hope you haven't been too lonely. S-Sorry for making you worry...

[ he nods at her answer, falling into step next to her as they start the trek back through Bluo. if she's sure, that's what he'll go with. ... though Sora's name just makes him remember, vividly, that first meeting a few hours ago, and uh. yikes. he's not gonna bring that one up first when they're all so newly safe and rescued.

but at her apology, he huffs a small, humourless sound that might generously be imitating a laugh. ]

Oh c'mon, Kairi, are you seriously telling me right now you wanted to be kidnapped by demon mermaids? I'm not saying my week didn't suck, but. I'd bet yours sucked a whole lot more.

[ Michael believes in the importance of apologies, but only if you did something that needs apologising for in the first place. he sighs. ] Anyways, uh, I kept myself busy. Research is great for that, you know? [ he starts shrugging off his hoodie as he talks, and after he yanks it over his head, he holds it out to her. ]

--Here, you can throw this on. ...You seriously felt like a human icicle before.
