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!

Oh... there's a lot to process. [That's all.] It's okay, I don't think it was rude.

My name's Minato. Arisato Minato.

And you're... [Momo-senpai] Momo-san...? Is that what you'd prefer to be called?

[messianic]

[... He doesn't really have the heart to deny that "will arrive", all things considered, because he's assuming Sebastian wants this and that's the reason for the wishful thinking?

He is so, so wrong.]

I see...

[Sort of.]

Well... nobody will force you to do anything here, though I can't deny we could really use the help.

[dualtone]

[ Fushimi actually leans back in complete confusion. What? What?? Fushimi can't make the slightest sense of how Momo's brain is getting from Point A to Point 3.14. ]

...No. [ No, he does not model, but also, "No" as a general concept for how Fushimi is feeling about this entire, somewhat regrettable meeting -- hm. ]

Ankles aren't indecent here. That's stupid. [ He isn't quite calling Momo stupid, so that's something, probably. It's just the idea of it that's stupid! There we go. ]

[dualtone]

I don't remember exactly what happened. I wasn't involved. I think someone died, or disappeared for awhile.

[ Fushimi shrugs up a shoulder, completing the air of "edgy teenager who doesn't care about anything, really, dad!!" that he has carefully curated over the course of his life. ]

Everything outside of the town itself is dangerous. [ And even then, sometimes, the furniture decides to shittalk you or birds with too many eyes materialize to tell you not to drink coffee. Weird town. ]

[ditherer]

What, do you not want it?

[troubadamsel]

[She smirks a little at that.]

No need to worry too much about that last one. My specialty is healing magic.

[troubadamsel]

[... wait what]

... I. Ah. Well, we use the for long distance communication, and to receive our quests, but...

What in the world do you mean YOU are a computer?

[ninjanature]

[Yuu is such a good boy, even if he keeps making a lot of mistakes.]

It sounds as if your demon is a handful. [The whole town is going to die, and it'll be because of (1) Yuuichirou Hyakuya and (1) Guren Ichinose.] Relying on medicine this place doesn't have is risky.

Aren't there other methods of control you can practice?

[thinshadowed]

[ He probably shouldn't, but it's an unfortunate facet of Ari's personality that he's inclined to just follow along anyone who at least sounds like they know what they're talking about. It gets him in trouble a lot. ]

> "Makes sense."

[ When he unfolds the letter, a scan of its contents provides him with an answer: the Flavo district, whatever that is. ]

> "Um... Flavo?"

[troubadamsel]

Indeed, I believe many worlds would be much better off with such technology. But you won't really believe it until you try it for yourself.

[thinshadowed]

[ Ari suspected as much, but it's still disheartening to hear. His parents, Annie... Stan and his other friends... will they worry when they realize he's gone?

Actually, now that he's thought about it, he wonders if they'll even notice he's missing. ]

> "Right."

[ An unhappy turn of conversation, but Ari technically brought it on himself. ]

> "What should I do now?"

[rerevale]

[ Way harsh... except not really, since Momo interprets the easy insults as a sign of closeness; you usually don't get to know people enough to care about their flaws unless you invest your time and heart in them, he thinks.

So. Momo laughs, even if the house in front of them is big and dark and lonely. He really wishes this were all just a prank, but he doubts it. ]

...What, me?

—It's fine, Sasuke-san! You made sure I got out of that well safely, so I just wanted to make sure you got somewhere safely, too. So don't worry, I'm not gonna impose.

[ He does a mock glasses-pushing-up gesture here, feigning the quintessential 'coolguy'. ]

'Now... we're even'.

[doublecrowss]

[ Hmm... What more can he offer in the way of advice... Cats are tricky... ]

Being careful around the well should be given by now. [ But cats are naturally careful around water, right? ] Also, you'll find that each of us has been assigned a hexadecimal code and housing according to the color that code represents, but... How well can you access a laptop?

[ He knows better than to assume the cat can't type!! ]

[uselessgoddess]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?!

[She's back to clinging and screaming, as she tends to get when desperation kicks in...once again.]

[parodeity]

[ ...he should condense it. ]

Want some pie?

[parodeity]

Yeah, well...Izuku'll probably be thrilled to see you. Uh, I assume you guys know one another? He talks about you sometimes.

[parodeity]

[ A SHRUG. ] If you don't think so, then I have zero guesses. There's no real rhyme or reason between all of us that like...ties everyone together, you know?

[parodeity]

Mostly out to get us? The unicorns were pretty nice, though.

[ if you were a virgin. ]

[parodeity]

We have a ninja now??? [ DAVE...WHY DO YOU SOUND SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS, YOU DUMBASS ]

[parodeity]

I mean, we can die. But then we come back?

[ so there's that. ]

I'm maybe more used to that kind of bullshit than I should be. Someone else who hasn't died a lot might mind more?

[ dryly said...look...homestuck is not a kind canon, mogget!! ]

[parodeity]

Well, no one would mind you tryin' to find something a little more substantial than a theory?

[parodeity]

Dave Strider. I'm in the red district, in the purple house with a bunch of ivy on, if you ever need me. Or I'm hex code E00707 on the network.

[ he figures a robot will be able to remember that. ]

[doublecrowss]

[ He's more like "I can't believe it's not butter" smooth, but that's all right! As long as it serves its purpose! ]

It's not a bother at all. We have all been in your same position at one point, after all.

[ Actually, they were in an even worse position, because there was no one to even start explaining what was going on and how they would survive and there wasn't even palatable food and... yeah. Fun times. Be glad you're not part of that first batch, Aigis. ]

As for where to start, perhaps I can assist you with that. For instance, have you found your assigned housing yet?

[scriptive]

Thank you! I'll take you up on that...um, maybe we can reconvene in a week and talk about chores or something!

[ cleaning and cooking and whatever??? ]

[scriptive]

[ OKUNI NO ]

If you ever need anything, feel free to ask me! But, hm. I guess we should get looking for the bees!
