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!

[ T...ouché.

Ari gratefully accepts her offer, since he absolutely is not squishing around in wet socks and boots for fun. ]

> "I'd appreciate that. Thank you."

[ He's not terrible with directions, exactly, but he has no frame of reference for anything here yet. He's more likely to get lost than find anything specific on his own. ]

get ready

[osuni]

What's a prinny?

[thinshadowed]

[ Ari smiles, relieved. He still needs to find his own house... but he think he can do it, now that he's at least in the right district. ]

> "Good luck, Kisa. I'll see you around?"

[ It's a hopeful promise. The red-haired boy waves before he departs. ]

[thinshadowed]

[ Perhaps they can use the other upstairs room for storage, or maybe a guest room, if such a thing is necessary in a town where everyone has their own place to stay.

Ari nods. ]

> "Works for me."

[noholdsbard]

Indeed, I am. [ The fact that she’s caught on so quickly is a relief—but a part of him does feel a little concerned. He’s not very good at hiding his real identity, after all. ]

Though at the moment, I serve no king.

[noholdsbard]

“Oh, I am very sorry.” As sympathetic as he is to Keigo, that reaction might come across as a bit too understated—like he’d just heard that the guy had stubbed his toe, or something. Tristan can be pretty lowkey with his emotions sometimes.

“And there is no town militia or the like to guard against these terrible creatures?”

[noholdsbard]

[ Okay but can he just be chummy with Giogio without getting interrogated like a criminal jfc ]

Ah, that would depend on how the fairies might react to our little excursion. [ Better to keep your trump cards hidden away until the last minute, after all. ]

How dangerous did you say they were…?

[noholdsbard]

[ He nods, his smile never wavering because yes, Master is super cool and he has no complaints. ]

On the contrary, Miss Levy. Having met such a lovely woman as you has certainly made my day all the brighter. [ The well thing notwithstanding. ]

[asano_san]

All he can say is he's sorry? He'll see what he has to be sorry about when the dragons attack! No, he shouldn't have thought that! Now it's going to be his fault for giving whoever's doing this to them ideas if dragons really do come.

"I don't know much about it," since when he saw it mentioned on the forums it was easily labeled not a thing I can do, "but there's a defense force. I've met people with powers, too. And sword spirits. I don't know if that counts as a power."

[noholdsbard]

[ He might be into that, if it isn’t obvious from the way he bursts out in a chuckle at that.

Damn, she’s like this close to making him lose his shit laughing. ]

Ah, what a sharp-tongued fairy this is! She must make her demands known before she grants this poor mortal a boon. But if a happier song might ease her heart, then what a boor I would be to refuse her!

[noholdsbard]

Dammit Keigo, if a dragon comes and burns down the whole town you’re getting the torches and pitchforks treatment!

“Worry not, if there is a fighting force I shall add my strength to it. I should not like my poor young friend to be beset by werewolves or sirens again.”

[smaaaaaash]

[Even without seeing his expression, the fact he won't so much as look at him is telling on its own. But it's also obvious Izuku isn't about to say anything unprompted. So, in a gentle voice:]

Young Midoriya. If there's something on your mind, you can tell me anything.

[withwisdom]

Quite alright. There is no king in this land as well, so you are a free spirit to wander. So long as you keep to your chivalry, all will be well.

[stripedown]

[ She frowns now, slightly, and shakes her head. Yeah, normally talking has never really been a problem.

Which she can't say, now can she? ]

[regrede]

[ sierra can appreciate a gentleman, even if it’s one who doesn’t seem to immediately bend to her will. he’s fine. he’s handsome, and he’s polite, and she’s not going to punish him for having a bit of a playful attitude about her idle decision.

she draws her hand back, crossing her arms in front of her chest. ]

You may call me Lady Sierra. [ a smile. ] We’ll see about “competition” once I’m settled in.

[promissum]

[how many times.

He honestly wishes he had an empty prinny skin to show people, but it's fine. Whatever. He'll make a post on the forums later.]

A prinny is a penguin-like skin that a sinful human soul is stitched into. They work as soldiers, servants and spies for stronger demons. As they work they earn money that can then be used to pay off their sins.

[regrede]

[ sierra pauses, considering that… connections, wills, it all makes sense to her in that way, but it’s hard to reconcile it being in the form of a machine. ]

Do they speak?

[kryptomight]

No? I don't mind.

( only a weirdo would hate music, dude. )

Why? Do you play?

[troubadamsel]

Trust me, in certain realms, you'd be far above average. My word, I can see warlords in mine fighting over such a power!

[finalize]

[ that's not normal no

in fact there's so many terms there that don't really come close to anything aigis has in her memory, so she's very much a mix of "listening attentively" and "trying to understand when you don't know anything".

basically her during exams. ]

Perhaps there's a writer in the town who could create something different for you to read?

[ there's. so many different kind of people here, after all. exhibit a: her and levy.

and honestly, aigis herself would offer... but levy definitely wouldn't want to read whatever she managed to whip up. ]

But... You sound like you live a very interesting life, Levy-chan. Though I admit a lot of it didn't make much sense to me...

[ basically all she's managed to process was

"magic", levy is super involved in magic. ]

[awamori]

[Ryuu doesn't hesitate to hug Momo back. He's happy to see him, though he wishes it was under better circumstances, he's still happy to see him! After Tenn leaving he's glad to see someone else from home. He pulls back with a sheepish smile.]

I'm glad I can help! It's good to see you too! Are you alright? Nothing happened to you, did it?

[After what happened last month Ryuu is still a little wary.]

[awamori]

Oh, no, it's alright! You can stay I don't mind the company.

[Ryuu looked up at the sky for a little bit before he turned back to him.]

That was a beautiful piece, what's it called?

[culpa]

I mean, he wears a uniform. . .

( with a glance down to his own, which looks. close to the same, minus a few color differences in the stripes. )

Guren does Guren stuff? Sometimes it's a little weird.

[culpa]

We were driving to Tokyo.

( he's already been over this with guren so the questions aren't that weird. )

You were driving, Mika, Shinoa, Kimizuki, Mitsuba, Yoichi and I were hanging out on the roof.

[smaaaaaash]

Ah, don't worry, don't worry! I was just wondering.

[He wonders if her parents never thought to help her learn it, or perhaps her muteness is a recent thing... Well, either way, speculation won't get him anywhere. Perhaps they can figure out an easier way for her to communicate later. For now...]

Now that your Quirk has settled down, let's explore more of the town. If you get tired or hungry, tell me, and we'll find somewhere to stop and rest!
