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!

[ A towel! Jion brightens up visibly at the offer. ]

Oh man, I'd be really grateful if you could lend me a towel. Only if it's not too much trouble, though. Kinda looks like things around here are hectic enough as is, so ...

[ His words peter off with a really awkward laugh, because he's well aware he's contributing to the hectic atmosphere himself. ]
messianic: (With its own tints the sober grey.)

It's not a problem at all. This always happens every couple of months, so...

[He shrugs, and nods in a particular direction (towards the harbor) to direct Jion as they begin to walk.]

I'm just glad we can help a little. I know arriving here out of nowhere is really... unnerving? Yeah.

[personal profile] organfarm 2018-09-09 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
'Unnerving,' huh? That's a good way of putting it.

[ He would have gone with 'really weird,' but Minato's choice is probably more eloquent.

Jion's a little distracted casting around at his surroundings as they start walking towards the harbor; he's clearly fascinated by the place. ]


So, um. What kinda place is this, exactly? Doesn't really look like anywhere I'd recognize ... kinda European, though?
messianic: (That is best which is not —)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-09 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jion's coming out swinging with the hard questions... Minato pauses, which probably tips him off that the answer isn't going to be simple, and sure enough:]

A fairy tale, maybe...?

[It's said musingly.]

... Sorry, we don't really know where this is. Just that it's a town. People here call it Chroma, usually...? But it didn't have a name.

Chroma? That's, like, Latin or something for color, right? I get it, since the place looks all weird -- that's clever.

[ Said with a tone of dry amusement as he jogs a little to catch up to Minato. Wouldn't be good if he got too distracted looking around and got himself lost. ]

And well, I can't pretend I'm totally comfortable with everything that's going on, but I'm really relieved people generally seem nice. Do you guys always help out newcomers like this?
messianic: (When shall completeness)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-12 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we voted on it awhile back.

[The life and times of living in an anarchic town.]

But yeah, of course. We couldn't just leave you guys in the well. We showed up in the same way, after all.

[There's some real sympathy going on--though they didn't have anyone to help them out of the well. That's probably also part of why they're so determined to help out.]

Besides... it's better to work together than not in a place like this, I think you'll find.

Oh ... Man, I can't imagine that was a fun time, finding yourselves in a well with no explanation. And trying to get outta that place, and dried off, and oriented without any sorta outside help ...

[ Jion's words trail off with a sympathetic noise because geez, he's having a rough enough time even with help. Still, Minato's words are pretty reassuring, and Jion nods along. ]

I get it, though. Hardships bring people together, right? That's cool! Are there like, assigned jobs or anything? Anything you think I should prepare to do?
messianic: (In vain we look; in vain uplift)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-16 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
We had some pretty competent people that first time around, though, so it's okay.

[IT COULD BE WORSE it could always be worse.]

But no, there's nothing like that. If I had to say there's anything consistent we do, it's the quests, but that's all by choice... otherwise, if you're going to take food from the communal garden, try to plant more seeds in return or get some food for the storehouse.

Nothing enforced, it's more like...a common courtesy thing?

[personal profile] organfarm 2018-09-20 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Seeds, food. Gotcha.

[ Everything seems to make sense, and it's not too hard to commit to memory. (Hopefully. He's pretty sure he's going to forget one thing or another before long, but hopefully it'll be something less important.)

Jion mulls over that for a moment before giving Minato a curious look. ]


Y'know, you seem pretty chill about explaining all this. Do you have to give this lecture to people a lot?
messianic: (Farewell farewell my pleasures past!)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-21 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... well. Not a lot, but a couple of times...?

[Minato tilts his head for a moment, lips pursing ever-so-slightly.

This is the not fun part for people to figure out.]


A lot of us--the first group that showed up here, I mean... we've been here for almost half a year now, I think.
