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!

Haha…

[ it’s the town, honestly! unless yuu has just always been familiar with italian sign language, but the chances of that are painfully low. ]

This town is mysterious. But you do have a house. [ a beat. ] Somewhere.

[tosa]

( He opens his mouth to snap at her because he sure was minding his own business. But he's a good spirit at the center all of this, one who actually listens and does think. So he thinks for a moment, wondering what could have started all of this.

Ah. )

Well, ya aren't fat now.

[withwisdom]

I see you've met Guren. [ said with pointed exasperation ] He acts like a tough guy, but he's actually very sweet.

[ nothing that reim said is wrong in other words. ]

Perhaps you can pitch your ideas on the forum? I know it may not seem as efficient now, but I think you'll come to see it as a good resource.

Though, ah, don't mind too much if people try to joke around with you.

[ninjanature]

[teenagers]

I did. [Even with Yuu retrieving the laptop, Sasuke doesn't move from out of the doorway. He doesn't take his eye off Yuu either. A stretch of silence pulls between them, but then he decides to speak.] My older brother killed them.

A new family took me in after a while. We were a team in school, along with our teacher. In the end, I almost lost them, too.

[promissum]

[ Val doesn't do this planning thing, but at least once he's heard the request he's willing to wait. ]

What kind of plan do you need to walk into a forest?

[regrede]

That’s very honorable. I was told you all decided on the name of the village with a vote.

[ indulgently stated, like zelda is a child telling her mother about her very exciting playtime paradise. ]

I don’t think it’s a bad way to live, but what happens when people passionately disagree? With no mediator and no authority, suddenly you have a minor civil war on your hands.

[regrede]

[ ……………

believe it or not, “grateful” is not the emotion she’s feeling at that response. ]

I’ve decided how you can make amends. Come closer.

[allweather]

Hmm. [Oh great... jokers....... Reim looks exasperated himself at the mere idea, but he nods in agreement anyway.]

I'm used to a certain level of fooling around, so it will be alright. Surely if they're asked earnestly about their opinions, they'll find time in betwen to be serious.

[Because people love talking about themselves, he means. Not because they respect town hall meetings or anything wild like that.]

[allweather]

[You can practically hear his concentration snap in two.]

The kind that takes into account what dangers I've been warned about while loitering here for much of this afternoon. You're interrupting.

[regrede]

[ disapprove of her all you want, reim, because she’s just going to keep doing exactly the same thing that she’s been doing for the last 800 years. old habits die hard. ]

If it’s any consolation, I don’t want to do it again any more than you want to have it done. [ a pleasant smile. ] My name is Sierra Mikain.

[smaaaaaash]

[He leads the way, occasionally having to duck over or push aside branches stretching across the path in his way, glancing over his shoulder to make sure she's keeping up. When they arrive into town, he stops with his hands on his hips, staring at how odd and rundown everything looks.]

Doesn't look like there's many people around... [What happened here, he wonders?]

[tosa]

(









He wasn't born yesterday )

Make me.

[regrede]

No. Come here.

[ she’s still smiling? the longer it stays on her face, the more ominous it somehow becomes. ]

[allweather]

[Is it a consolation! Is it! She did it in the first place, so she's already racked up sooo many gross points. Mercifully, Reim is polite.]

Well... then it's nice to meet you and your unconventional methods, Ms. Mikain. My name is Reim Lunettes.

[smaaaaaash]

[HE'S STILL CONCERNED, YOU KNOW... but okay, subject change.]

Whose personal computer? Any? [The way he said it sounds like there's a specific one they should use, but...]

[promissum]

I won't deny there are demons that fit that description. However, as you can clearly see, I don't.

I'm a proud and noble demon. [ What does that mean, Val? ]

[tosa]

( The longer she smiles the more he feels A Fear. He feels cold? What's this chill down his spine........ But okay, what's the worst that can happen? She grabs him by the ear? Whacks him on the head? He's used to being dragged around and beat up!

So... very slowly.... he inches just

a

little bit

closer.

What's the catch? HE'S READY TO RUN. )

[allweather]

[He's not bleeding openly!! Until he starts wobbling, don't worry about it. Anyway: the honestly blank look Reim gives him just then should be clue enough, but let him helpfully explain:]

I... suppose so, yes. I've never seen one until today, you see, but apparently they are connected.

[He's usually very smart but it's also usually the late Victorian era, bear with him.]

[regrede]

“Lady Sierra.” [ she gently corrects him, like an asshole. ] You sound important, boy.

[ as long as she has a chance to make sure she gets her due attention here in this town, she’s going to take it. none of the vampire hunters she ran into back at the castle acknowledged her status! please. ]

[ninjanature]

I am. [But he doesn't seem bothered by it. Zelda receives a deep nod of greeting, something polite but nothing very intimate.] Sasuke.

[She hadn't offered a surname, so he simply leaves his off for brevity. He'd also rather not have people call him "Mr. Uchiha" even if he'll just get "Mr. Sasuke"d in the end probably.]

Let me guess, you've been here for four to six months?

[allweather]

Lady Sierra, alright. [He's not important, he's just... well he's a little important but he's also the bottom rung in the ladder of his entire social circle back home, so what that means is he's accepting her asshole correction without question. Lady Sierra. Cool, cool cool cool.]

That depends on your definition of "important," doesn't it?

[regrede]

Now give me your hand.

[ she’s still smiling and it is most definitely deadlier with every second. look how kindly she’s holding her palm out, though! just like she’s asking a dog for his paw, even though she hates dogs. ]

[smaaaaaash]

[He chuckles a bit, rubbing his neck sheepishly. Okay, other worlds, other levels of technology, he gets it.]

By the internet, yeah. If you find one, I can show you how to use it.

[regrede]

You have a surname, don’t you? You must come from a good family.

[ what a strange detail to hone in on, but it doesn’t actually change the course of her thoughts. whether he’s just “reim” or “reim lunettes” doesn’t matter to her—he seems like the kind of person she can rely on. ]

How would you like to work for me?

[allweather]

[Oh my god, there is more vocabulary? The person who explained the network to him managed "forum" and otherwise didn't know how it really worked either, so this is brand new information.

He is going to write it down. In...ter....]

There is one for each of us, but they don't work if taken outside the homes. Mine is back in the red district.
