Event Ten.

[awashmods]

Little Willie, mean as hell, Pushed his sister in a well. Mother said, while drawing water, "My, it's hard to raise a daughter."

t's pretty dark and miserable down in the well. The cavernous area feels much larger than a well should be, bodies milling about in the darkness and knee deep, frigid water. So you're here -- and you're not alone, and the only way out appears to be the thin circle of sunlight from above, the opening of the well. (And elsewhere, in the Town, everyone's waking up to gifts of various usefulness, but hopefully they remember to check the well today even so!) What now? Welcome to Awash's tenth event log, and the intro log for this month, everyone! All new characters have found themselves waking in the well in the middle of the Town. Hopefully they can get a hand out! For more information, please go here! Meanwhile, the current characters have some new gifts. If there are any questions, please ask them here, and have fun! Thank you!

Right then.

[She holds out her hand to Kisa, all the better to be sure she doesn't run off and start hiding somewhere.]

Where would you like to go first?

[goldenwords]

Somewhere I could get a drink, maybe? I'm parched.

[...she says, by the well. She realizes that a moment later and makes a face at it.]

Somewhere other than here. I'm not drinking that water after that lot's been stomping around in it.

[culpa]

I have no idea.

( he's doing his best, percy. at the very least: once yuu does make his way back and actually pay attention to where he's going, he won't get lost again. just this once. )

What districts?

[goldenwords]

[...that is very much not what she wants to hear]

I don't suppose anyone's come back after vanishing? Could they shed some light on where they ended up?

[culpa]

It's a lot better than being here alone.

( especially considering yuu being alone means having a berserker on the loose. he--tries not to lose his shit, but sometimes it happens and guren, at least, knows how to contain it. he falls into step with this dude easy, two paces back. )

[troubadamsel]

A negative view, but one I can't really blame.

... Tell me, what is your skill set?

[withwisdom]

Not that I know of. I keep track of people I've known who left, and try to find them whenever the well deigns to bring newcomers.

[ she doesn't like the idea of just forgetting the people who were here and moving on. she also doesn't like that she has no good sense of everyone who has left. ]

One of my roommates, and my archery teacher, both vanished recently. I do hope they're alright. [ she rubs her temple and sighs. ] My apologies. I shouldn't burden you with so much information right away. You must be disoriented from everything happening.

[windeity]

[Thanks for that!! But okay, give him a moment to open the lid of the laptop and turn it around to face Ghost so that they can see the keys and the monitor.]

So, it won't actually work if you are too far away from your house, but when it does work this screen shows you a forum that links you to everybody else in the town. People post with their hexcodes so you have to learn people's names, but a couple of us are keeping lists of who's who. It's a good way to get news about what people are discovering here or just talking to people. You can also message people individually.

And you use these--[He gestures to the keyboard]--to type whatever you want to write and post. Does that make sense?

[windeity]

[...well. What if he lays on the ground and goes flat to look at her, too? He keeps his distance but they're on the same level now at least.]

I mean it. I really am sorry.

[troubadamsel]

Well, whoever or whatever is behind this, we've yet to find them. The only clue we have so far is that maybe it was a "Mister F."

[troubadamsel]

[Understandable, she's come to learn some places just don't have magic. She holds out the staff, so Kisa can touch or inspect it if she wishes.]

I have the ability to heal wounds and injuries, and also restore your strength. But... I also know you could be very scared right now. You've been through a lot. So I don't want to do anything you're not comfortable with. All right?

[goldenwords]

I'm a magician. [There's no problem admitting that, Sadie thinks; the townspeople, as they are now, will need whatever they can get added to their arsenal. That means no pretending she's normal.] Does the word "Egypt" mean anything to you?

[ninjanature]

I don't know. [He doesn't mind the inspection. Visually, there's not anything special about the eye except how strange it looks. Purple, rings of circles, and tomoe, six usualy, but five now after pulling the shuriken.] The rinnegan is -- kekkei genkai, something inherited almost. Receiving the chakra of a Sage is how I came to have it.

But it's still a dojutsu, an eye technique. If you can take my eye, you can have its power when you implant it in your own.

[Spooky.]

[troubadamsel]

What's done is done, no need to harp on about it. Right now, we need to get you warm so you won't get ill.

[A wave of her hand, pish-posh.]

[goldenwords]

Disorientation, shmisoriention. How recently I got here doesn't matter, I"m going to have to learn all of this eventually.

[Better to get it out of the way now, she thinks.]

Is anyone keeping... I dunno, a list? A sign-in sheet? If people are vanishing having who's here written down might help us figure out who's disappeared and when.

[culpa]

( yes thank you for the delicious strawberry--or it would be thanks, except guren's fucking rude and pulls it away as soon as yuu almost grabs hold of it. awful. his brows knit tight together, but whatever. there are some on the table, so he takes a handful of those instead. )

What do you do around here?

[troubadamsel]

[the cough gets a raised eyebrow, but she'll let it pass.]

Let's see, I believe it's... Izuku Midoriya, Ochako Uraraka and Shouto Todoroki. I don't mean to belittle the situation we're in, just that they'll be very happy to see you, I imagine.

[ninjanature]

[This is probably something Sasuke understands better than a handful of others. Curses and a sick land regardless of color loss.]

I think you may be right. The eyes I possess can see many things, but there isn't any color here at all, even with them activated.

It isn't an illusion, as far as I can tell.

[culpa]

We're definitely family. Guren's been here for me since. . ( since he was twelve years old, angry and mentally exhausted after seeing his whole family of before die. after all the bullshit with his birth parents. guren hasn't always been present, but he was there when yuu needed him most. and it means more to him than yuu could ever put into words. ) since forever.

Me being here makes things harder but I'm sure he's not upset about it.

( because they'll figure it out. regardless of yuu's weird demony/seraph stuff. )

I'm strong, so I'm useful.

[ninjanature]

[He was one of the biggest morons out of the two of them, but what he's about to say will be the complete opposite of it. Sadie should understand how this goes, though. With her brother and all.]

Naruto.

He was a loser ever since he was young. He couldn't do anything right and always got into trouble. He did badly in school, was slow learning techniques, was lazy practicing, and he always bit off more than he could chew.

But he never stopped believing in his friends.

[culpa]

( tbh that sounds like something guren would do, and something yuu would do, too, so he can't judge. they're not completely the same, him and guren, but guren is the one who taught him that: the selfish selflessness. )

But he made it out okay, right? He's still alive. Guren made my medicine too, so I know he can make stuff well.

[oomfies]

[ The light of her phone flashes towards where his hand meets the wall, then further up. Yup, as gross as she thought.. She cringes quietly before swinging the light in his direction.

It takes her a moment to nod, only because she's finally coming to terms with what she needs to say. ]

Oh, uh, I'm wearing a skirt? So - I'm gonna need your jacket.

[ If it sounds like she's regretting opening her mouth, it's because it's Entirely True. ] I'll give it back..! I'm gonna come back. 'Cause my stuff is still here.

[culpa]

Mika always has a lot more friends than he thinks he does.

( he's. full of confidence problems, doesn't think much of himself and latches onto what he knows. yuu gets it. even if he disagrees. )

I hope he does come back soon, and I'll definitely make sure he makes friends, or at least tries to reconnect with the ones he has.

[parodeity]

Oh, nah, my bad, I'm a terrible guide. That's like, an everyone thing. Shit was entirely monochrome when we showed up - except for us, which continues to be true - but we've been like...earning colors back, I guess? Via missions. Sometimes colors fade away if people leave or shit happens, but we're slowly but steadily makin' progress. I don't know if you eat at all, but if you do anythin' without color tastes like ash, so consider yourself warned.

[ he forgot to mention the Most Important Shit, good job dave ]

[parodeity]

Yeah, none of us have figured that out yet, or like. Most of us would not still be here?

[ since none of them really signed up to be kidnapped... ]
