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.

[knife emoji] go to bed

[tropism]

[ rather firmly, he says, ]

If you dwell on it you'd be uncomfortable for days. They won't come undone. And the pain will vanish soon enough.

[ you're gonna carry that weight. ]

update: im awake

[withwisdom]

That's good to know.

[ if he says not to dwell she... will. she always does, it's too much in her nature. she'll get over it and try not to pick at the skin to test his work. ]

I was told that everyone who remained here became sick. I hope you're feeling better now that we've been rescued.

dunks you back in bed

[tropism]

[ giorno just shakes his head. ] I'm fine.

I'm used to working in difficult conditions - physical or otherwise. It's nothing new. I'm glad we've rescued everyone.

bls

[withwisdom]

Even so, it couldn't have been easy. [ being in a position like that is never easy. she thinks it's important to acknowledge that. ] You should make sure to rest as well when things have settled down.

it's what u deserve

[tropism]

I will. Eventually. People are a lot more resistant to the idea of being well, for one reason or another. I'd find it rather gallant if it weren't preventing me from trying to do my job to begin with.

[ that is to say, people, for the most part, are rather predictable. even those who aren't quite human hold the same hesitation. it's interesting. ]

ok kim

[withwisdom]

[ a snort. ]

Is that a comment about me?

[tropism]

You. Everyone else.

[ giorno smiles. ]

I'd prefer things go as I want them to. Doesn't everyone?

[withwisdom]

Of course. But admitting it so bluntly is a little conceited.

[tropism]

Only a little. So I've won you over, then.

[ wew ] Ah, but I can afford to be. If I couldn't - I wouldn't have said it at all.

[withwisdom]

[ ...a sigh. ]

I'm too tired to argue, but you should be cautious. 'Pride before fall' is a saying from the realm you're from, I hope?

[tropism]

I've heard.

Not to worry. I take care of myself very well. [ it's cool. it's all chill. ]

[withwisdom]

I hope so, for your sake.

[ he's such a child, but that'll go unsaid for the sake of sensitivities. ]

I thank you again for your help. Please, feel free to help others - even if they say they don't need it.

[tropism]

[ 'for his sake'? giorno raises an eyebrow but doesn't pursue. ]

I'll talk to you later. Take care.
