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.

Oh, same hat.

[ he gestures down at his open notebook, the three columns he's using to try and organise the first part of his search - 'FOREST', 'WATER', and '????' - clearly visable, with some further notes underneath. ]

I mean, I know it's all fairytales in here, but that's basically what we're dealing with in reality in this town anyway.

[ Mikleo moves to peer down at the notebook, curious to see what the other has written or figured out so far. ]

The books I returned to the library may help you with the water portion of your list. After hearing about the mermaids over the network a while back I decided to look into all of the fairytales involving water-based creatures.

[ It seemed like a good place to start considering he is a water seraph too. Not only that but there's so little he knows about the actual ocean having never seen it until recently. ]

[ Mikleo will be able to see that the section under FOREST seems to be the most full, with a whole litany of suspects including a long diatribe on fairies that ultimately culminates in two conclusions: "why so obsessed with kidnapping babies? CREEPY" and "NO CHANGELINGS?". merpeople, incidentally, do feature in the WATER section, along with kelpies and kappas. the ???? section is the least developed, with "Underworld???" and "Dragons maybe??" scrawled near the top of the column.

in any case, Michael seems to perk up as he reads Mikleo's latest message. ]

Oh, you know, I think that will help! Did you find anything in those?
