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.

[SO MANY POSSIBILITIES...]

We'll only really be able to tell if we figure out who's missing... I think I know a handful [ha, understatement] of the people here, so I should be able to tell who's missing if we look around.

[A beat.]

Though that's...a good point...

[...HOPEFULLY NOBODY THINKS HE'S GONE AND PANICS]

[osuni]

[Okuni gives him a look...]

Did you at least tell whoever you're living with that you're still here?

[do ur best evading the subject minato]

[messianic]

[Yeah... that sort of straight, to the point question can't be avoided, so Minato has to just be sincere.]

Oh... my roommate went home recently, so I've been on my own. Nobody will miss me that way, at least.

[osuni]

[OKUNI GIVES HIM ANOTHER LOOK...]

But people might still miss you anyway! [GOD... MINATO!!! no it's fine, okuni is a cool bean.]

Where do you live? I'm going to leave a sign there.

[a sign]

[messianic]

A sign... I guess that's a good idea. It's this way...

[At least he's obedient... don't look at him that way, Okuni, it's Too Much.]

[osuni]

[She's gonna LOOK AT HIM LIKE THAT FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THIS SHORT TRIP TO MINATO'S HOUSE!!!

Once she's there, she immediately picks up a convenient stick from the floor and starts drawing in the dirt in front of his house. Okuni is an artist, but she's also mean, so she ends up drawing a miniature version of Minato, with the flop of hair and everything, and the words

I'M NOT MISSING, I'M JUST RUNNING AROUND LIKE AN IDIOT!!

And she signs it, Minato. Then after a moment, she adds X_X eyes to Minato's face.... alarming]

[messianic]

[You know.... it was nice before the eyes...

Minato still kind of crouches next to the drawing curiously, peering at it.]

... This is pretty good, Okuni-san.

[MINATO, YOU'RE BEING INSULTED.]

I'm impressed.

[osuni]

Hearing that from you makes me annoyed for some reason...

[Okuni knows why. It's because Minato is a big butt and doesn't get insulted when she tries to be mean to him.]

Anyway, do this yourself the next time you run around when tons of people are kidnapped! You're the kind of person people probably like for some reason, so think of all the many, many people who are going to beat you up for worrying them.

[messianic]

[Okuni please... Minato isn't sure if that's a compliment or what...

He's quiet for a moment as he tries to process it, and then shrugs a little to himself.]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Are you ready to take a look around for everyone else now?

[osuni]

[maybe okuni should do all of minato's friends a favor and beat up this punk...]

Yes, yes. Let's go invade more homes.

[let's go!!!]

Hey, if Guren's also missing, then can we go through his things? He had this object called a monocular... and it's useful when trying to find things! He'll understand if we take it, I'm sure.

[Okuni being of the mind that she hopes he isn't gone, but is also excited if he does happen to be gone]

[messianic]

[... Hm. Don't put it that way, Okuni? That's bad. Bad.]

... If you loot Ichinose-san's house, I'm going to have nothing to do with that.

[He remembers fighting Guren in the pit... mostly being dominated by Guren in the pit... he has no desire for a repeat performance.]

Just so you know.

[osuni]

[LOOK, JUST A LITTLE FISTICUFFS]

You do get into enough trouble on your own...

[okuni should SPARE HIM... she shrugs, smiling]

We'll see what happens!

[messianic]

[... Excuse you???]

I don't recall getting into any trouble around you, Okuni-san.

[HOW...!!]

Anyway, let's focus on finding people, not on looting ichinose-san's house. That's a little more important, I think.

[osuni]

[HMMMM]

Hey, just because you haven't around me doesn't mean that you don't!

[she KNOWS THINGS, MINATO!!!]

So be careful not to do anything too careless this time, even though you're worried about everyone.

[messianic]

[... WOW....]

I feel like I'm being judged for something I haven't even done... [No, Okuni's right, he gets into trouble constantly.]

I'll be careful though... honest. [Like, 70% careful.] I don't want to cause anyone any trouble or additional worry at a time like this.

[osuni]

[MINATO IS TOO NICE AND COMPASSIONATE AND A GOOD BEAN TO NOT BE A TROUBLEMAKER....]

Hmm... I guess I'll believe you for now.

[SHE'LL BELIEVE U FOR NOW!!! MINACCHI

and then later she'll see minato crawling on the beach smh]

[messianic]

[That is a completely accurate analysis of his character.]

That's a relief... anyway, let's go look.

[AND THEN THEY PROBABLY WENT OFF AND SEARCHED FOR PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES.

Hopefully Guren was home so no looting happened.]
