Event Ten.





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!

[Because Tonbokiri lives in Flavo, of course he is around.
And because he knows this area well, of course he will notice an unusual pair of eyes and bright head of hair poking out from behind that tree.

He blinks - those eyes are actually not so unusual, being rather similar in colour to his own, but they do belong to 'someone unknown'. And not just 'someone', but a child.

His expression softening, he kneels, facing the child behind the tree.
Mm. To start- a smile and,]


Good morning.

[ There's no response. Which is partially because Kisa can't talk, but largely because this is a very big and muscular man who looks like he could cordially snap her in half.

Which obviously isn't the case, but while she's suspicious that it could be, she's trying to press herself even flatter behind the tree. ]

[Tonbokiri keeps smiling, but he rubs at his cheek with one finger in slight embarassment.]

Ah, I suppose you're right. Children are usually taught to not speak with strangers, aren't they.

It's all right if you don't say anything, but I'd like to help you if I can. [He is silent for a beat, and then inspiration strikes.] Ah, if it helps, I'm a member of the Defence Force here. It's like the police. So, can you give me a chance to earn your trust?
stripedown: (I think she just BSOD'd)

[personal profile] stripedown 2018-09-09 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Defense... Force?

She knows of police, at least... so does that mean he's supposed to keep people safe?

Kisa once again says nothing, but slowly peeks a little further out. ]

[He'll take that as a positive, even if she isn't nodding in response to him yet.

Today he's wearing his dark navy yukata, so he sets himself down seiza-style on the ground and places his spear on the ground at his side. He then politely bows his head.]


Thank you. My name is Tonbokiri. It is nice to meet you.
Could it be that you have recently arrived? [It's hard to see if she's wet or not because she's still hiding behind the tree.] In any case, you are in good company. Many people have arrived here, and we call this place Chroma. You will have a house to live in, and roommates who will help take care of you.

[He pauses there, because usually people will have a question to ask by now, or at the least give their name in return.]

[ Normally, yes, people would be way more talkative.

Except Kisa isn't talking. She does step a little further out, and she's still a wee bit damp, and of course she looks incredibly overwhelmed, but.

No words. ]
youwillbeunequaled: (] bittersweet memory)

[personal profile] youwillbeunequaled 2018-09-10 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes that step further out as another positive, but he is worried that she is not speaking. And she is a little damp, so a new arrival...

(His heart is melting- never mind her roommates, he wants to take care of her-!)]


Pardon me for asking, but can it be that you cannot speak? You can nod 'yes' or shake your head for 'no', if you like. And I shall do my best to ask you things that can be answered like that.

For now- [he pauses a beat. Where to start with a young girl who is surely overwhelmed by this all...?] For now, have you found your house here yet?
stripedown: (Um um um um??)

[personal profile] stripedown 2018-09-10 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You'll have to fight Sierra for custody rights, buddy.

For now, she carefully shakes her head. Yeah, no, not yet. Too busy hiding. ]
youwillbeunequaled: (| serious thinking)

[personal profile] youwillbeunequaled 2018-09-11 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
[(Rawr- bring it. Literal fights, he'll totally win.)]


[Mm. He's worried that she hasn't found it yet, but that's all right.
There might be some reason why she's not gone there yet, too. Considering how shyly she is acting...]


Do you want to try and find it now? That is, if you want to wait a little longer before meeting your roommates, that is fine. We could do other things before finding your house.

So, do you want to try and find it now? [Asking the question at the end again to simplify it - he doesn't want to misunderstand her answer.]
stripedown: (Shoujo crisis averted)

[personal profile] stripedown 2018-09-11 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This time, she shakes her head. She hasn't seen everything in the town yet, and that means she might still be able to find her family. Any one of them, considering that there are at least a few hundred if she considers the whole Sohma family. ]

Very well.

If you like reading, would you like to see the library?

[It's the first place that springs to mind, of course. He can't help but look a little eager, as he likes the library himself.]
stripedown: (My life is an anime)

[personal profile] stripedown 2018-09-13 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kisa doesn't look quite as eager, but a library... it's a nice, quiet place full of books. Maybe she'll feel a little less vulnerable there.

A nod. The library is a good start! ]

[personal profile] youwillbeunequaled 2018-09-13 04:52 am (UTC)(link)

[Somehow, it's reassuring to have a goal, isn't it. No matter how simple. With purpose he gets to his feet and brushes off his yukata.]

Let us be on our way, then! Please, come with me. [He holds out a hand, both inviting her to his side, and for her to hold if she wishes.]

stripedown: (There were arms to hold you)

[personal profile] stripedown 2018-09-14 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well.

If Tonbokiri doesn't mind waiting about two minutes, she will eventually slip her hand into his. Cautiously. ]
youwillbeunequaled: (s a little 恥ずかしい)

[personal profile] youwillbeunequaled 2018-09-15 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't mind at all.
He is quietly happy when she at last does take his hand. He holds it gently, hoping that will reassure her.

As they walk he does his best to simply explain Chroma - how the food that doesn't have colour tastes like ash, and how people have been trying to coordinate the coloured foods so they can all eat well. How it is dangerous to go into the forest, but the Defence Force is there to help keep them all safe.

When they arrive at the library he opens the door for her.]


Here we are. For some reason, all the books are fairy tales and folk tales, but you can enjoy reading as much as you want.
Or, if you like, I could read to you... [Just, you know, the option is there...]
But please, take your time to have a look around. One thing- many people have taken the time to organize it well, so I must ask that you put things back where you find them. All right?
