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.

I'm well enough. More mentally exhausted than physically really.

[ cuts, bruises, these are things she can walk off and adjust herself to. it's being stranded, isolated, and helpless, that truly wear her down. ]

...Let me share this fish with you. I wouldn't have caught it without your help.

[He nods. He gets that; it's definitely disconcerting, and worrying, having this happen. The stress is enough to get to anyone.

But he looks surprised at her offer.]

Are you sure?

[withwisdom]

I am. We caught it together, it's only fair we share it together.

[ and at least like this she gets to help feed him - it's an easy way to assist. ]

[theshowsover]

[That earns her a smile.]

Alright. Deal.

[It's not a very big fish though... but they'll make do. He's glad he could help, regardless.]

We should find the others and try to fish again later. More hands can only help, right?

[withwisdom]

Agreed.

...I do hope everyone else is doing ok. Not just here, but back on the mainland. [ a sigh passes through her, eyes looking down to the murky waters. ] I'm sure by now they've realized something strange must have happened.

[theshowsover]

I'm sure they're looking for us.

[Akira looks out across the sea, eyes searching the horizon. He can just see Chroma in the distance, a speck of land stretching out at the edge of the world. He wonders if anyone is looking at this island.]

We'll just have to stay safe for now.
