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!

( who even knows. but he does turn to walk in that direction, thank you. )

Hopefully I remember the way this time.

[tosa]

( -- And he relaxes, as something else suddenly dawns on him. All of that in this interesting world, and Izuku was going to be a part of it like that? )

Huhu... ( He can't help but chuckle a little to himself at that. ) If you're his teacher then that means Izukkun's gonna be a hero like you some day too, huh?

( Even if they haven't known each other for very long, Mutsu is proud of his friend! He knew he had it in him. )

[noholdsbard]

Haha, I can do nothing of the sort. [ Honestly, he’s more amused around the sassy types than anything else. The attitude doesn’t faze him in the least. ]

But indeed, I sang of beautiful things whose brief lives have ended in rivers. [ Clearly fantastic conversation material right there. ] Only to behold a fairy thing come to question my offering. And fairies, I’m afraid, are not so easy to fool.

[culpa]

( it's an opening to keep going on how he's different, and yuu's almost tempted to just start running his mouth, again. but he--doesn't. gives a shake of his head instead. )

Guren has a demon but he's not a seraph so he's different. And he's really smart, too. If anything starts to happen with me, he can fix it.

[messianic]

[... Um. Yeah. No matter how he looks at it...]

You seem... a little excited about that.

[culpa]

( he gets it. the whole not being family being family thing. it took yuu years to get comfortable with the word family again anyway, and now all he does is call people his family. . life's weird like that. )

Why were you going through his stuff?

[noholdsbard]

That is fine. [ Granted, by then someone more qualified will probably take over. Who knows? ]

But no. I’m afraid I’ve only just arrived myself, and have been exploring the area before I chanced upon you.

[culpa]

( if yuu were a better child, he would ask dex to teach him, too. to show him how the heck he does that. but yuu, being himself, knows he'd just get confused trying to learn and it's probably as difficult as learning like. kanji. which he still hasn't completely gotten down, thanks. )

Because you can't talk?

[culpa]

Sure?

( where is the soap. where is the water, for that matter. what will he rinse it in? wow this is hard. )

[culpa]

( it's fine. he's got unnaturally high senses, if she starts to falter or trip, gets too close to a wall--whatever, yuu will be able to catch her before she hurts herself. he did the same thing anyway, so he can't judge her for leaving her eyes closed like that. )

I've got you, so you can follow it without worrying.

[regrede]

You owed me.

[ in her mind, she was justified. it’s just annoying that he’s still mad about it—it’s not like she turned him into a vampire against his will or anything. ]

I already promised I’m not going to give anyone a hard time about it, so could you leave me alone?

[promissum]

It's not about the taste! Those humble oily fish are nutrient rich! They contain roughly one-quarter of the recommended daily allowance of niacin, and 150% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin B12! They even contain marine omega-3 fatty acids, keeping hearts healthy and might even boost brain function!

Those tiny fish are great for health reasons!

[noholdsbard]

Well that frown is easily set aside for one so bright and earnest. Ah…he’d been that way, once upon a time…

“Truly? Ah, but that is quite an idealistic way of looking at things.” Not that they hadn’t tried their hardest to uphold all those lovely righteous ideals, but…

[passio]

Haha…

[ from anyone else, it’s not that he’d be offended, but maybe it would be difficult to talk about. after all, the loss of his voice is a delicate subject for those that know why, but of course it’s nothing that yuu could be expected to know immediately after arriving.

so he nods. ]

I can’t use my voice.

[noholdsbard]

Does the deity of this church not interest you? [ He gets the feeling that Mogget doesn’t, really, what with how casually he seeks to nap in here.

Granted, he doesn’t think whoever’s running the joint minds if a cat’s doing it. And there’s no one here to give tedious sermons, anyway. ]

If nothing else, I am very curious as to see what manner of being the former residents of this town had worshiped.

[promissum]

[Val sounds certain about a lot of things, that doesn't necessarily mean Ari should listen to him.]

It should tell you where you live.

[tosa]

( He's starting to recover now that he's actually sitting so just give him a second and-- )

Maybe I owed ya but ya took too much. The price didn't fit one bit and I know a thing about prices! ( Huffs, ) I'd say ya owe me but whatever ya got, I don't want.

( HE'S MAD. )

I'm watching ya!

( Whenever... he gets up. )

[noholdsbard]

While Keigo’s busily trying to usurp the esteemed title of town killjoy, Tristan merely brightens up at those very helpful suggestions.

Especially that last one.

“What a marvelous idea! Would you tell me of all the grave dangers plaguing this realm?” Because A) big trouble means he’ll be more likely to find his master and B) he’s got nothing better to do than to smite evildoers, or something. Either way, it keeps a man from getting bored.

[noholdsbard]

[ Okay, at least “samurai” is a familiar term. ]

Oh, yes. She’s quite spirited. From what I understand, she has earned her renown from the pistols she wields in battle.

[ Have fun with that, Mutsu. ]

[tosa]

What're ya talking about?

( It's almost like this guy is trying to talk to him but??? They're on two different wavelengths. )

[glaciers]

That's a good idea. Most of our bonding has been... being stuck in this town, so something lighter might be good.

[glaciers]

Yeah, because I'm mortal.

What are you?

[tosa]

( There's something there, definitely, and he sort of just... waves his hand in the air a bit. Maybe if he keeps trying, he'll get it!! )

Nah, I've been here for a little while. ( He stops waving his hand to think, ) A couple of months, maybe? It's hard to tell in this place.

( Stepping back now, he holds out his hand! )

Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki! That's me. Probably means nothing to ya, huh?

[noholdsbard]

Lord Nobunaga, of course. [ WHAT DID HE DO WRONG… ]

[messianic]

We had some pretty competent people that first time around, though, so it's okay.

[IT COULD BE WORSE it could always be worse.]

But no, there's nothing like that. If I had to say there's anything consistent we do, it's the quests, but that's all by choice... otherwise, if you're going to take food from the communal garden, try to plant more seeds in return or get some food for the storehouse.

Nothing enforced, it's more like...a common courtesy thing?
