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!

1; HEY I JUST MET YOU

( nobody likes to come out of a well soaking wet and covered in who knows what!! water isn't safe, what the hell whoever dropped him in here! but yuu makes it out without too much hassle, finds the nearest free cloth-esque item and starts. . drying his hair off. sorry if that was your jacket, or linen left out to dry!

he needed it, ok. )

2; AND THIS IS CRAZY ( aka: guren's house and nearby places in ruga )

( tmw you find out your dad mentor has been here since forever and already has a very, very interestingly colored house. yuu hasn't figured out where his own place is yet, so instead he decides his next course of action should be to go fishing through everything in this house to find the laptop he apparently needs.

and no place is sacred. every drawer he comes across and isn't immediately shooed off from is searched through, and when there's no success in that house? he starts going through other close buildings.

there's probably an easier method to this (ie, listening to his heart) but this is clearly much more effort and therefore, the best way. )

3; BUT HERE'S MY HEXCODE

HEY YOU!! ( yeah, you there. you, the absolutely random person he's run into on his adventure through the town. that you. )

I have no idea how I got here, do you know how to get back to Guren's house?

( oops. )

4; SO REMEMBER ME, MAYBE

( wildcard!! fell free to contact me at sharkly if you want something in specific or just throw whatever down, i'll roll with it. )

[tropism]

.... no, but I heard if you start planning to make any sort of trouble he'll just appear on the corner. So maybe you can start from there.

[ giorno actually doesn't know if this will be effective, but he's read enough responses from the guy in the forum to know that this seems to be a Thing. ]

[culpa]

Yeah, good point. I haven't tried that yet.

( but also that means he needs to figure out how to start trouble here. breaking stuff is the obvious answer but also yuu doesn't. . feel like needless destruction right now. )

What's the highest place here?

1.

[messianic]

[He doesn't really mind, but.

Minato just kind of tilts his head, hands in his pockets, and:]

Can I have that back when you're done with it. I'll probably need it when it gets colder.

[culpa]

( oh, oops. probably should have checked to see if that belonged to anyone before touching it. )

Yeah. Sorry! I thought it was just. . here.

( don't mind him drying off his hands on it, before holding it out to minato. )

I'm Yuu.

[robitussin]

[She's still tense from everything that's happened today, so she's that close to running away from him as he approaches with that loud introduction, but then she takes in what he's saying. Accordingly, there's a pause of surprise before she speaks.]

Uh. You do know that I don't know you or who you're asking me about, right?

[culpa]

( makes sense. not knowing who he is, considering he just got here. not knowing who guren is--that's a little weird. he's loud and gets around a lot, so. )

Oh. I'm Yuuichirou Hyakuya, he's Guren Ichinoise. Black hair, purple-y eyes, wears something similar to this, ( with hands patting down his military uniform. ) but with red stripes instead of green?

[queenofminiskirts]

[She smiles brightly at him.]

I can take you there, if you want. But you know, if you're looking for Guren-san he might not be home.

[culpa]

Yeah, he gets around.

( guren "excuse me while i disappear for weeks on end and forget i told yuu i'd give him a thing" ichinoise. so rude. but anyway: )

It's okay if he's not home, I forgot where it was and I was going to move stuff in his room around.

[swordfucker]

[So. Guren's house... Three floors. Hideously colored. But Guren has the biggest room, on the top floor. It's tidy, there's a bookshelf with all of his things on it: an embroidery of a heart, a lion plushie, a couple of music boxes, some kind of cardboard crown. Then, he's got drawers full of knives in a dresser, along with a few sets of his uniform that he picked up from going back to their worlds, and a box filled with fuda.

His laptop is password protected, and there's a hole in the ceiling right above the shitty bed. There's now a nice purple quilt over the bed, at least

Guren is used to people in his house coming into his room, but Yuu is like a tornado, so when he steps in to see that he's messing around in here, he's instantly irritated.]

Haa? What the hell do you think you're doing?

[culpa]

( yuu is a natural disaster, thanks. guren's the one who left him unsupervised, clearly he's at fault here. but he does have the decency to look a little apologetic when he turns around and sees guren, a knife between each finger of his right hand. )

You told me to look for my laptop and I thought it might've gotten in here somehow so I was searching for it.

( clearly this is all on guren. )

And I was looking for a spot to put my stuff.

[osuni]

[WHY IS HE YELLING!!! it works though, Okuni looks Yuu up and down like she's trying to determine who in the world this boy is.]

...Did you already forget the way back? [he has no idea how he got here could mean a lot of things like, i have no idea how i literally woke up inside a well from whatever I was doing before, but that phrasing is Suspect.] It's the ugliest house in Chroma, so it's really not that hard to spot.

[catlady]

[ Selina, just sort of going about her business in the busyness of the town with the recent additions, turns on her heel in the direction of the voice and she looks... just a little annoyed. ]

"Excuse me" works, too, kid. [ She's a lady, excuse you. ] You got turned around, huh?

1

[eusford]

[ What did he ever do to deserve this?

A lot, actually, which is why he's not exactly surprised by the sudden appearance of a familiar face -- or the fact that he jumps straight into the beat of his own drum without wasting a breath.

Crowley stares down to see Yuu drying his hair off with his cape, lips pressed into a thin line as his brows furrow. ]

You're going to clean this later.

2!

[passio]

…?

[ dextera doesn’t know who yuu is yet, but he has eyes and he can see that the uniform resembles guren’s. of course he has his guesses as to who he’s looking at, but the concern he really has is that this child is darting from house to house in ruga looking for something.

for guren? he already left guren’s house, so dextera doesn’t know what he wants. like some weird ghost, he follows in silence. ]

2!

[tosa]

( This isn't some JRPG where you can just break into people's houses and rummage through their drawers and shelves. Not unlike other homes in Chroma, this house has a random collection of gadgets and gizmos so Yuu is free to knock himself out.

Luckily, the person who lives here doesn't mind the unannounced guest. There are a lot of new people in town today! This kid's probably lost? Mutsunokami is an understanding spirit. When he sees Yuu, he sort of just... leans against the doorway, arms crossed, and casually asks, )

Find what you're looking for?

2!

[skatebird]

[ Living with Guren means that Yata's just kind of used to weird shit happening in his house. Blood on the staircase? Routine by now. All of the chairs in the house being destroyed one by one until there aren't any left? Seen it. Walking out the door to find your house is bizarre purple color? Normal. Receiving a mysterious delivery of three crates of equally purple ketchup? Typical, though not actually Guren's fault.

Finding some kid going through his shit, though... that's different. Yata and Fuhsimi's room is the smallest in the house, and the most cluttered on account of their being two people in there. Apart from their extra (and terrible) clothes there's two music boxes, two laptops, an empty coffee cup, a bat, a skateboard... and now one very puzzled, very aggravated redhead rounding the corner and coming to a sudden stop. ]

Hey! Who the fuck are you? What are you doing here?!

3

[ditherer]

[... well okay. gandharva will pause, and politely,]

Oh? Are you an acquaintance of his?

1

[good_ideas]

[He picked the wrong free clothing-esque item. Because it’s Shiho’s and she’s rounding a corner to catch him toweling off with one of her favourite shirts (of Kaoru’s).

So she does what any reasonable human being would do.]

Oh no~ We seem to have a pervert raiding our clothes line. [She sounds like she’s having way too much fun with this as she pulls out a gun that looks almost like a toy.]

[ninjanature]

[Doing ninja things comes with the profession. For a long time, Sasuke stands out of the way and lets Yuu plow through a few of the houses after the first one. He only watches, unmoving. He could use genjutsu to keep Yuu from seeing him, but he's pretty sure Yuu is caught up enough not to notice him anyway.

Which is fine.

He doesn't stay to himself forever. While he doesn't waltz out into the middle of the street, he does move up and wait for Yuu to come bounding out of the house.]

Find what you were looking for?

[At a very first, brief glance, he almost looks like Guren. Dark hair, the end of the sword dangling by the back of the knees, dark clothes. But... no... The hair is too long, the eyes aren't purple, and there's a cloak instead of a uniform. Hm.]

[stripedown]

[ who the heck is Guren

... is what Kisa would say, slightly politer, if Kisa could talk. But at this moment in time? She definitely cannot.

And getting yelled at by a complete stranger is just making her instantly dart back about five feet and tremble. ]

2

[theshowsover]

[And here is Akira, quite suddenly, in his doorway, watching this kid dig through his stuff. Not that there's much of interest here - mostly clothes he's gathered from around town, half of it colorless and half of it hideous, and a few of the other things he's collected from events.]

Need something?

[He leans against the frame, arms folded, but otherwise expressionless.]

1

[apocalypticist]

[ ...Is... is that person using his expensive as hell coat to dry his air off? Ryo walks up to Yuu from behind, clearing his throat to get his attention. ]

What are you doing.

[ It's said in a flat, cold voice, his eyes narrowed. ]

1!

[unghost]

Hey— cut it out!!

[ They're just gonna. Yank the cloth they'd hung up to dry right away from him, with a surprising amount of strength for how Not Serious this situation is. Or, what would not be so serious, if it wasn't for their scowling face and sharp eyes boring into him, like they're demanding some sort of explanation. ]

Are you always this inconsiderate of others?

3

[hydrokinetics]

[Jeez. On the other hand, Percy doesn't seem to care about Yuu's lack of manners or the yelling and he seems to think hard on that.]

Can't say I do, man. Sorry. Have you tried checking the community board by the well? There might be a map or something.
