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!

Ow, Bi-- you're not Bianca?!

[...he says that right as another white cat scrambles up onto his other shoulder to cling, though this one is decidedly more transparent and less talkative. Ryan winces, but holds still; yes, he hates being stuck in the water, but... they're cats. He just can't bring himself to dislodge either of them, even if it means he's left doing his best impression of a living cat tree.]

Trust me, falling into the water is the last thing I want to do, here-- but I don't know if I can get you out, either.

[Bianca? Whomst the fuck—oh, wait, it's probably that Dead(?) creature hanging onto the opposite shoulder. Mogget hunkers down on his own perch, tail swishing ominously as he stares down the other... cat-thing.]

Then you have ample time to explain what manner of necromancy produced this... creature. [Mogget's tail begins swishing even faster, probably smacking poor Ryan right in the face in the process. Sorry, my dude.] Is it a Lesser Dead? A Shadow Hand?

[Once upon a time, Mogget, the "faithful" servant of the Abhorsen, would have been compelled to smite it! Now, however, this collar-free cat merely stretches out a paw... and bats at the damn thing. He is Intrigued.]

A- what? She isn't a shadow anything, she's just a cat, you know?

[A cat that's batting right back at Mogget, tail swishing-- oh, are they playing? She's absolutely down to play.

Ryan is really not down to have a potential cat fight on his shoulders, especially when he's already getting tailsmacked by both of them... he plucks Bianca off his shoulder to hold her instead.]


She's just, well... a ghost.

[Um, interjecting yourself into cat business is rude? Mogget carefully twists around to continue peering down at the other cat, but at least his tail is now beating against Ryan's back. Small victories?]

A ghost, [Mogget repeats, tone suggesting that this is a ridiculous thing to say.] Did you just happen across it, then? Or did you summon it?

[There is necromancy afoot...]

Summon? What would I go and summon them for?

[That comes with a little huff on the tail end of the question, a brief shake of his head.]

I just work with the ones that have already gotten stuck, I'm not going to go and disturb any that aren't...

[Pride? A desire for power? Humans, Mogget thinks, will do the dumbest things for the dumbest reasons, but he bites this back as he continues glaring at the ghost cat.]

Stuck by their own accord, or thanks only to the assistance of others? I wonder. It is rare for a soul to find its way back to Life without a necromancer... clearing the way, so to speak. [He huffs lightly.] What do you really know about your companion?

It's less that they find their way back, and more that they somehow can't cross over in the first place. That's what happens with most ghosts I deal with.

[His arms curl a little more protectively around the cat, who meows in response.]

I know that's what happened with her. Nobody was going around trying to bring cats back, okay?
