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!

[A peaceful nod, and:]

I'll help you guys find blankets for the furniture and everything--but it should all be sound and sturdy, at least.

[Anywayyyy.]

Whatever food we have here is whatever we can grow or find for ourselves. So our food choices are a bit limited, even despite the color thing.

[scriptive]

That would be great, Minato! [ she looks cheered by it, anyway... ] Ah, but...if it's growing things, I've helped take care of at least a little garden before.

[promissum]

As long as there's a flat surface I'll be fine. [He doubts there's a comfy coffin lying about.]

I've never had to grow anything. [Ah, the perils of just buying everything you need from shops.]

I can go fishing if there's a net or a fishing rod somewhere.

[messianic]

[In other words... they're both so much more prepared than he was when he first got here.

Excellent!]

I have a fishing rod... we can go looking for another for you, Valvatorez-san. And McGarden-san [look at these horrible things you make me type] I can help you get in contact with the people running the communal garden in Flavo, but you're welcome to garden things around here too, of course.

[A beat.]

Honestly, like... so long as you don't cause any trouble for people, you can do whatever you want here. There aren't really any rules.

[scriptive]

Just Levy is fine! [ plz do not type that horrible thing again, my word ] But that sounds a little hectic...no one damages property or anything?

[ look, she had to ask ]

[promissum]

I want to eat fresh sardines.

[There's a small pause.]

I'd also like something to do. Some kind of job. I'm not picky about what it is, but I can't sit idly by and do nothing while I'm stuck here.

[messianic]

[thank u]

Well... no, not really. Everyone's kind of in the same boat, so we tend to try to work together. Not to say that there aren't troublemakers here, but they're not malicious... [Mostly.]

There's plenty to do, Valvatorez-san. If you're good at fishing, it might be helpful if you can help us get more fish to store for the winter... that's coming up, I think. The weather's been changing a little.

[scriptive]

Oh! Um, on that note...if you guys need anything in particular, you can ask me?

[ an embarrassed smile. ]

I'm a mage, after all, and I use "Solid Script", so...

[promissum]

I don't need anything, lass. [Unless she has a job for him? He'd love that, actually. But while he doesn't know what "Solid Script" is he has his pride.] What I need I should be able to find on my own.

I saw a strange ice house. Should I store the fish there?

[messianic]

That's fine, I think. I'm pretty sure Todoroki-san made it for everyone to use.

[And then back to Levy--!]

What sorts of things can you do with it...? I've never heard of anything like that before.

[scriptive]

[ you know what.

her demonstration from the pageant works best for showing off what she does, so levy just. does that. ]

It's this type of magic!

[promissum]

[!!]

I've never seen magic like that.

[messianic]

[W….what. So much happened, and he’s left blinking at her blankly.]

I’m… not sure I entirely understand how it works, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out as we go. We have plenty of time…

[He has plenty of time to adjust to new roommates, too.]

So thank you for the offer. In the meantime… why don’t you two just focus on adjusting for now?

[scriptive]

Thank you! I'll take you up on that...um, maybe we can reconvene in a week and talk about chores or something!

[ cleaning and cooking and whatever??? ]

[promissum]

... Chores?

[What?

Oh man he's been with a servant for so many centuries.]

[messianic]

[Oh my god. Good luck, Val.]

Right... this town does take a lot of upkeep, since it was in such bad shape...

Having some help around the house would be great.

[He's been mostly doing it all himself, and while he has time here...]

Let's plan on it.

[scriptive]

Mhmm! Meals and cleaning and the like. For now, I'm going to go clean my room! Let me know if you need help later, Val.

[ and off she bounces to the second floor...
