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!

[ Nope. She's instantly ducking back behind the tree.

Surely he won't pursue this if she disappears, right?

(She didn't disappear.) ]

[stripedown]

[ ... Kisa is fast coming to the realization that she's not very good at hiding. Maybe better as a tiger cub, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms she doesn't want to think about right now.

But when Riku calls out to her, she drops abruptly into a crouch without moving away from the tree.

Okay, she really sucks at this. ]

[oomfies]

[ Is this a bad idea? This is starting to seem like a bad idea. But Lottie is desperate for some Knowledge now that she has to learn how to survive on her own, or whatever. ]

You don't really have any room to make demands, because it's my deal, but I'll change it to supervised play time.

[ Until she finds an outlet to keep her little child alive... she needs to make sure that her battery doesn't run dry from Okuni touching it alone. Final offer!!!!! ]

[doublecrowss]

[ Akechi opens his mouth to wonder about Mogget's (c)attitude about other cats, but remembers Morgana and stops himself in time. Maybe this is something similar to that? An entity that only looks like a feline? Huh. ]

There's only one that I know of. His name is Ace, and he lives with a man named Bruce Wayne. If you wish to avoid him, then I'd advise you to stay away from the Flavo district.

[stripedown]

[ Sinistra is doing really great and being gentle and considerate and quiet, and ordinarily, Kisa would appreciate it.

But she did just fall flat on her face and now there's a strange voice she doesn't know, so she pushes herself up just enough to-- fall backwards instead, one hand drawn defensively to her chest as she stares at him in the manner of a cornered animal.

There's a bit of blood and dirt on her forehead now, but it's hardly worthy panicking over. ]

[oomfies]

[ Letter? Letter?????????????? You mean the one she tore in a fit of rage???????????? That one?? ]

Yes. Of course.. The home designated in my letter.

[ Lottie gives him something close to a (stiff) smile as she responds, but refuses to elaborate or give.. really any useful information. ]

[stripedown]

[ ... Ah. This one might actually work, and she nods, considering.

It looks... very old-fashioned, but it is definitely better than one (1) shirt. ]

[ninjanature]

[ :eyes: ]

I've heard a few already from some others. [Thanks, he hates it.] It seems we have a job to do before we're able to leave.

[robitussin]

[It's hard to tell whether she's showing genuine interest or simply that some of her surliness has faded away, but all the same, there's absolutely a shift in her demeanor. He's unlocked her Inner Nerd.]

Yeah? What kind of music do you perform?

[tropism]

[ .... interesting. of those four names only one of them made sense to giorno, but he doesn't know if he can trust this stranger yet with that knowledge. ]

Why does it matter? What'll you do if I say yes?

For the past couple of months - even before I came here - I lived perfectly fine not having met you or anyone else with the birthmark. If anything, isn't it better for you if we don't know each other? [ a wry smile. ] You don't seem too happy about it, either way.

[oomfies]

[ Is it wrong that Lottie ignores their ugly tone to completely zoom in on their heels? After two seconds of staring, she decides she's perfectly justified. So clean.. so cute. Her eyes snap up to actually take a look at them, leaning back into her chair.

There's a couple other things she sees too - laundry? Going to peruse the internet on their own?? ]

Alright.. So where do you live then? Is it the one with the little houses?

[tropism]

Picked it up, hm. [ hm, he put him down as a waiter but now he's not so sure. ] I guess your work's quite a handful if you've had to expand your skills more than once. I hope you're able to rest here, as much as you can.

I think after a while of living here, surviving takes priority more than comfort. The threat of being attacked is quite common.

I'm trying to build a farm. If you're bored and you've got nothing to do, my name is Giorno.

[withwisdom]

[ :eyeroll:? ]

One we should all work toward. [ speaking of which- ] When you have the chance, check on your computer. There are quests people can undergo together to help restore the color.

[regrede]

[ sierra didn’t draw blood to taste whether or not he’s a vampire, but she senses it on him anyway. he’s the type who doesn’t care about humans—someone who’s let his bloodlust run rampant, even if he’s perfect in control of himself right now.

she hates it, but she’ll remain civil. ]

It’s a skill of mine.

[ she folds her arms in front of her, looking him over. physically, he might be stronger than her, but she thinks she has the magic advantage. if it came to it… ]

Who are you?

[culpa]

( there are a lot of things yuu doesn't understand--but this isn't one of them. the pause, the way guren looks away, keeps moving.

this is someone extremely important. not just some random scrub he wants yuu to be careful of so he calls them 'family'. )

I get it. ( he says easy, speeds up his own gait to ram right into guren's side. ) I'll protect him, too.

[tropism]

There's a quest about fairies. They're resistant to most magic, and I need them to be defeated. You look like you can make a good enough of a distraction. [ and then giorno will just. tear them apart. ]

If you're not up for fighting, I'm building a farm. I'm sure the cows would love a song or two. [ whomp whomp. ]

[regrede]

Don’t be difficult, boy.

[ still, she doesn’t want to make him mad, which is an odd feeling for her, so she’s willing to negotiate. ]

I’m a beautiful, powerful vampire with centuries of experience in a variety of fields. Name your preferences and I’ll consider them.

[robitussin]

[She hesitates to do this, but... Even so, she takes a step towards the tree and the girl hiding behind it. Her voice doesn't soften, exactly, but her words have more thought put into them.]

Is there something going on apart from the whole... showing up here thing, or are you just really freaked out about being somewhere new?

[Of course, it would be pretty understandable if she was.]

[bisection]

[ Sinistra can see that she's nervous. He withdraws his hand and sits on the ground instead, to get a little lower. He doesn't want to hover over her.

He remembers being that scared when he was little. ]

It's okay. I won't get closer if you're scared.

[passio]

[ bless him…

he seems sweet, and he’s not the first person to ruin dextera’s name, and so he takes yuu’s hand without an argument and squeezes it once before he pulls back. he needs those, so he can’t hold on for too long—wait, what? ]

Ah?

[ why would he want to do that!!! ]

He’ll get mad.

[robitussin]

Right. I'm thrilled to be here, and all.

[There's a small roll of her eyes, but it's at the overall situation rather than just him. Still, something about that makes her curious.]

You found someone you knew from back home here?

[usedlick]

[That... actually throws him for a moment, because androids don't have brothers, and wouldn't that be obvious to anyone watching this show?

But it isn't actually being filmed, and perhaps he's just supposed to play-act anyway? It doesn't make any logical sense at all, but then, humans rarely do.

He might as well say something.]

...Right. David. He is home sick and I really must get back and take care of him.

[He eyes the clothes ladder, and, realizing what is going on, wonders if he should contribute. Technically he isn't allowed to remove his jacket, as it identifies him as an android, but... desperate times, right?

So he slips it off, and offers it to Momo.]

And your... wife. Needs to be picked up from the... office.

[Yes. He is so good at this.]

[culpa]

( his eyes follow it despite the fast speed the shuriken's thrown at, tracking it as it heads towards him and easily catching it with his index finger within the circle at the center. )

Oh! Cool. ( yes hold on, he has to spin it around his finger for a while for prosperity's sake before he bothers tossing it straight up, catching it, and throwing it straight for a nearby tree.

all while his laptop remains tucked safe under his free arm. )

[robitussin]

[She pauses for a moment, looking around. As she crosses her arms, ever defiant, she glances back towards him.]

If you think it might be dangerous, wouldn't it be worse to just leave me here alone?

[theshowsover]

[He will nod, and then pause. Does Mogget intend to walk? Would he be happier if Akira carried him...?

He doesn't have a bag to put him in.]

Do you want me to carry you?
