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!

[He's going to end up...!! Meeting with a scrawny-ass teenager who's holding out a towel to him. Blankly, because he has no idea who he was talking to, but.

Talking to mysterious air is better than some of the people who have come out of that well, so he's not going to judge.]


Um... here. This might help.

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-09 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Thank you-- um.

[Wait a second. There's definitely something off here in a very familiar way, and he sort of... squints at Minato for a moment, glancing between him and the towel.]

-you can touch things?

[Surprised, but not in a bad way-- more curious, and maybe a little impressed. He'll also take that towel, thanks.]

Sorry, just, you know, I'm used to you guys not being able to.
messianic: (You efface the Sheen.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-09 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm... sorry, what?

[???

Minato has no idea what that means, sorry, you'll have to be more clear.]


"You guys"?
averagemedium: (pic#8968205)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-09 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I-- well, you know, um.

[There's a moment of hesitation, there-- does this guy actually know? He wouldn't be the first to be unaware-- but only a moment, because unfortunately the thought that well, he really should find out if so wins out over being a little more tactful.]

Dead people, I mean. Usually you're intangible, but you really don't seem to be?
messianic: (Only the spirit glorifies)

[1/2]

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-09 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Minato can't really help it. His lips part, and his eyes widen a bit, and all he really manages is a soft:]

...Oh.

[Yeah, Minato.

Oh.]
messianic: (did not forebear)

[2/2]

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-09 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Haaaah... he supposes it was only a matter of time before someone with abilities like that showed up here, considering what exists in this place...

Still, it's kind of inconvenient, isn't it...?]


... I'm not a ghost. But... you're right about the rest. I died back home, where I came from.
averagemedium: (pic#8968205)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-09 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
You're definitely a type I'm not used to, then... I, uh. Sorry for just-- bringing that up.

[He at least has the decency to be apologetic about it, especially after that initial reaction...]

You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, and I won't bring it up if not, but-- well. If you do.
messianic: (They use that power against me)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-09 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really sure how it works either... this place can revive some of us, or something like that, I suppose.

[Either way... Minato shakes his head, rubbing the back of his neck a little ruefully in response.]

It's okay. It just took me off-guard...

[He wavers between asking him not to tell anyone and feeling like that's a not entirely fair burden to put on his shoulders, and finally just sighs.]

I was aware of it, and I'm not bothered by it. Honest.
averagemedium: (pic#8968205)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-15 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
--alright, good, because there's absolutely no way it's not awkward to tell people they're dead.

[Unfortunately speaking from experience, there. He's made an effort, but it's the kind of topic that never goes over well.

With that out of the way, he starts trying to dry off his hair-- he's a bit muffled as the towel falls over his face.]


I won't bring it up to anyone else unless you want me to, either. It's your business, y'know?
messianic: (Death doth draw nigh)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-15 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I can imagine… but I do appreciate it.

[That does sound stressful, somehow. Says the dead kid. It’s fine. either way, he's...definitely not ready to share with everyone.]

Are you…some sort of spirit medium, then? Or something like that?
averagemedium: (Default)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-16 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
A medium, yeah. I see dead people, and I can sense when people aren't normal humans, or not human at all. Usually I don't get much use out of that, but-- that's already been pretty different, here.

[He hasn't had this many people ping his sixth sense in--

well. Ever, actually. It's weird, but still exciting.]
messianic: (With its own tints the sober grey.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-16 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Um. Yeah. No matter how he looks at it...]

You seem... a little excited about that.
averagemedium: (pic#8968202)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-19 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I am, I've never been around this many people I can actually sense-- I was kind of worried everyone would be totally normal, you know?

[-is that weird? He pauses, frowning slightly, teeth catching on his lower lip as he worries idly at it for a moment.]

I mean, not to be, you know. Too extra about it or anything. Just- normal people don't usually believe the whole medium thing? Not that people who aren't normal always do, but... better chances and all.
messianic: (Yet my Disciples sleep;)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-20 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's what you mean.

[Not...that he was happy to see a lot of dead people around. Okay. That makes a lot more sense, phew.]

Yeah, you're right. You don't have to worry about being seen as odd here--almost everyone here has some sort of strange powers or backstory.

[Them's the breaks of a jamjar.]

I think it's on purpose, for some reason...
averagemedium: (pic#8968209)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-21 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, if a bunch of people are going to be gathered in one place, I guess that makes sense...? And normal people would probably have a harder time with the whole thing.

[He hums thoughtfully under his breath, there. It's still a strange concept, but at least he's used enough to weird things.]

I can't say I'm thrilled about it, exactly, but it might be a decent change of pace anyway.
messianic: (and succession change)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-21 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well... Minato snorts softly at that, shaking his head.]

I don't know of many people who are super thrilled about the situation.

It can be a little... [Hm] ...shady here, too, sometimes.

[It's fine?]

But we're making the best of the situation we're in now.
averagemedium: (pic#8968208)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-24 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
-okay, that sounds like something I should maybe be concerned about.

[...or interested in, because others' idea of 'shady' is sometimes his idea of 'fascinating'. It's a real problem.]

Shady how? Like, we all might die, or?
messianic: (withered long and sped)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-24 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm...

Minato rocks back and forth on his heels once, idly, thinking.]


... Think of the worst fairy tale you've ever read.

[...]

It's kind of like that here, sometimes.
averagemedium: (pic#8968209)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2018-09-25 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
...I mean, a lot of those are pretty bad, if we're talking the original versions.

[A thoughtful hum, there, before he quickly adds-]

Not that all fae are like that! One of the ones I talked to was pretty decent, once you got used to... well, they have particular ways they operate, you just have to get used to them in general.
messianic: (Not of detention is Fruition —)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-25 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Ryan...]

Well... the "pretty bad" stories are what you can kind of expect from this place, some of the time.

Though I guess some of them might be pretty decent too...? It's best not to count on that here.
