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. Too bad for them.

[She straightens up and dusts off her jeans, then shrugs.]

It comes in handy at times like these. So, who are you, anyway?

ii BEES

[osuni]

[Okuni's here to get honey, but more so to find these exact small dog-like bees that Sasuke has the fortune of stumbling onto.]

Did you?

[It's such a five year old thing to say back, but Okuni's actually curious... Sasuke... did you not bring a jar to the bee quest!!! She holds out hers to show him though.]

I already have a jar, so I don't really need mine. You can have it if you like. I'm just here to fight these bees!

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

[Jotaro doesn't even notice the pointy ears or anything at first, he just sees the out of place Dracula outfit and immediately loses all respect for the guy demanding his attention.]

Blue. What of it?

[Quests are for losers and people who've already found replacement notebooks.]

[scriptive]

Well...no. I'm not a celestial spirit mage, although I have a friend who uses them...

[ so the whole summoning a weird spirit thing doesn't really throw her! nice. ]

[goldenwords]

Would you like to see?

[say no, levy. for the love of all that is good and holy, say no.]

[spiria]

[ Kohaku jumps a bit as she's spoken to, looking over to the other girl. She wasn't expecting to be spoken to by ... well, anyone. Unless it was someone she knew, or unless she spoke first. She smiles a little at Zelda in response. ]

Is it that obvious?

[ Spoilers: It is. ]

[robitussin]

...Okay, what the fuck?

[A few seconds pass, before:]

Wait, does that mean we're all going to die at some point?

[hamerhead]

A Rito! The bird people of Tabantha!

[Come on, even HE knows that.]

I am Prince Sidon of the Zora! I should ask the same of you. Who might you be? What is this place?

caw x1000

[osuni]

[Okuni was walking away from the well, by now most of her curiosity's been spent on all these new people and now she's onto other things like thinking about her latest attempt to ruin someone's day --

The crow doesn't so much as startle her, but the crow turning into a PERSON DOES... wow, this is like Val with the bats?? So many ANIMAL PEOPLE HERE]

I wish they did! I want to learn how to do that! [LIFE CONTINUES TO BE VERY UNFAIR FOR OKUNI...] Why do you hate it? It looks so fun!

[hamerhead]

[At first he was going to simply repeat it joyfully, yes she knew his name! And yet there was something he couldn't quite place about her. Her flustering gives into thoughts of doubt, like he's missing something he can't quite place.

Eventually, he just simply says;]

...Is something wrong?

[spiria]

[ The voice was not one she recognized, much to her dismay, but she looked anyway. He could have been addressing anybody, really.

... Except there was nobody else here at the moment. Her eyes landed on the only other person in the immediate area, a boy. A boy with food. And other stuff. ]

... Hi.

[ Wow, great start. What else was there to say? Hi, I'm totally new but I honestly have no idea where I am?

... Yeah that might have been more helpful, but it's not like she had the mental clarity to be able to say all of that right now. ]

[promissum]

[It's fine, it's fine. He's very used to people giving him absolutely no respect. Except for the prinnies. They love him.]

There is very little to do here and I can't abide by doing nothing.

[scriptive]

Just Levy is fine! [ plz do not type that horrible thing again, my word ] But that sounds a little hectic...no one damages property or anything?

[ look, she had to ask ]

[goldenwords]

I don't know what this place is, but I'm Sadie Kane of the Brooklyn House.

[She also doesn't know what a Tabantha or a Zora is, but... fine. They probably don't know anything about where the other came from. So... all that really matters at this point is getting out of the well.]

We can figure out the rest once we're out of here. You really think there might be something at the top that can help you climb out?

II

[osuni]

[Okuni is probably lying down on the grass like a heathen, so she definitely looks super comfortable for a town that likes to kidnap people and dump them in wells! She hoists herself up by the elbows when Aigis approaches though, blinking at the question.]

Well, I suppose if you have to. [She tries to say this grudgingly, but she's more pleased to have a distraction from lying about like a lazy dingdong.] Try to ask me some interesting questions! I'll do the same in return.

[why is okuni going to ask aigis questions!!]

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

What was your first clue?

[He's sarcastic, but who wouldn't be? These shirts are easily two or three sizes too small, look like they came from the set of a low-budget Robin Hood movie, and feel like sandpaper to his delicate baby rich boy skin. Plus? They're all yellow, and not even a shade Jotaro particularly likes.]

How are we supposed to dress ourselves if they're not even gonna give us anything worth wearing? [...Fixating is easier than acknowledging their broader situation.]

iii, Sept 12

[youwillbeunequaled]

[Tonbokiri isn't much for stealth himself, especially when on a large black horse. Having just finished his regular patrol, he is outfitted in his armour with his spear comfortably held in his left hand and... perhaps makes an imposing sight.

Seeing the person so obviously being curious about the forest, he rides closer. And can't help but smile a little at the man's greeting.]

Yes, it is. It feels like it will be summer for a little while longer.
If you were thinking of taking a walk in the forest, however, I must advise against it. However, there are some very nice paths in the Flavo district.

[swordfucker]

For people who come in without a weapon.

[Ah, the irritation is coming back, but at the same time, Guren doesn't move to stop him. He has two whole piles worth of knives, give or take a few, so. He just puts his hands on his hips.]

You just got here and you're already exhausting. I don't have time to waste watching you play, so if you want my help, then put them down.

[promissum]

I want to eat fresh sardines.

[There's a small pause.]

I'd also like something to do. Some kind of job. I'm not picky about what it is, but I can't sit idly by and do nothing while I'm stuck here.

[goldenwords]

[POOR OKUNI IS LONG-SUFFERING, UNABLE TO TURN INTO ANIMALS... someday she will live her furry dreams]

Oh, it's not all that hard to learn if you have the aptitude for it. But going back to human from being a bird is a little trickier than it looks. You wouldn't want to get stuck as one, would you?

2!!

[osuni]

[Okuni suddenly sticking her whole head of hair into the nearest window as Phos walks around --]

What are you doing?

[The concept of private property just doesn't apply to her!! Also she's doing better, at least she didn't bust down their door in order to ask this one question.]

You could do a lot better than try and break it, if that's what you're trying to do. You could throw it down the well to see what happens instead!

[swordfucker]

[There's zero reaction to the name, and a minimal one to the whole eye thing he's got going on. Guren prefers to keep his emotions hidden in response to anything, but he's never seen anything quite like that before. Anything close has been... dangerous. Things like seraphs, and their twisted, bleeding eyes.]

No, there's no one by those names here, unless they just showed up in the well. But if you're up here alone, I'm guessing that means they didn't.

[This guy seems like he could have sensed if they were there or not.]

Friends of yours? Sorry, but you're a long way from home.

b!

[spiria]

[ Sadly, she was in much of the same position. Her hair ties were in place, but with her hair still wet like this it was probably not the greatest idea to take them out. Her hair was a bit of a mess, too.

This was probably the last request she expected from someone in the same position she was in, though, and she couldn't help but hide her mouth behind a hand as she tried to stifle a laugh. ]

U-Um. S-Sorry, I'm kind of in the same boat ...

[culpa]

( wow way to put him on the spot and make him actually a little embarrassed, thanks a lot.

there's a very, very slight pink flush over his cheeks as she keeps going on, and on, and on. . )

Shut up, it's not weird at all. You're weird!

[fivefingerdeathpunch]

[Okay, what the fuck?]

So you can do that word stuff, but you don't have a Stand?

[And she has a friend who has multiple, or something? This is weird and he doesn't like it.]
