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.

[NO, SHE'S MAD NOW!!]

I'll forgive you if you promise to give me a thorough explanation when all of this is over.

[ditherer]

I can't guarantee that it'll be thorough, but I suppose I can provide an explanation.

[osuni]

[okuni is NO LONGER MAD!!! cheerfully,]

You promised!

[DID HE??? anyway Okuni will Remember That]

I'll even make it fair and tell you my name in exchange. Appreciate my generosity, Ruru.

[ditherer]

I really could just ask someone else for that... but I'll appreciate the sentiment, at least.

[osuni]

It means more coming from me!

[in some kind of universe, yeah!!!

anyway let Okuni help Gandharva out by killing any sirens that try to sneak up on behind him... she's doing her best to seem like she's not actively trying to defend him, though it's probably obvious. she does run off from time to time to fight though because!! she can't make it obvious!!

LET THERE BE A TIME SKIP JAN SO OKUNI CAN COME NYOOMING BACK]

How are you feeling? You didn't end up pushing yourself too hard, did you gramps?

[ditherer]

[OKUNI........

BUT WHOO TIMESKIP]

... Gramps?

[he sounds a tad amused, though, rather than offended.]

[osuni]

[ANSWER THE QUESTION GRAMPS!! but if he has the energy to be amused, then maybe he's in okay condition]

It's not like I know your real age! I'm just erring on the side of caution and assuming you're very, very old for now.

[ditherer]

... Why does everyone immediately assume I'm so old...?

[LIKE

THEY'RE NOT WRONG

BUT WHY IS HE CONSTANTLY COMING OFF AS OLD MAN.]

[osuni]

[GANDHARVA IS JUST THIS]

Only a really old person would masquerade around as a kid! If you were young, then you'd probably want to look older to people.

[also okuni met crowley and mutsu who are both super old and look young, so clearly gandharva is the same]

[ditherer]

[okay but in his defence the child appearance is relatively recent]

... And just how experienced are you with dealing "really old people" masquerading as kids?

[osuni]

Hey, I thought you were going to explain yourself! You don't get to ask me questions yet!

[TURNING THIS SUBJECT BACK AROUND!!!]

[ditherer]

That seems a little unfair.

[osuni]

I'm going to tell you my name, remember? That's fair enough!

[ditherer]

Right... Well, let's focus on rescuing everyone first. You may interrogate me all you like afterwards, Miss—until I get bored of it, anyway.

[osuni]

[She makes a face at this because ANSWERS!! but also, fine. Okuni has a heart somewhere in her black soul.]

Fine, fine. But don't keep me waiting!

[OFF SHE GOES TO HELP OTHER POOR SOULS!!!]
