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!

[Of course he does.

Sadie huffs and hops off the fencepost, hurrying after him because she doesn't know when to leave well enough alone, honestly.]


Hold on! Don't just walk off!

[He gets perhaps a few feet before being stopped by her again, and he turns just enough to glance back at her.] Did you need something? [There's really no indication in his voice whether she's bothering him or he's enjoying her company. Maybe it doesn't matter either way.

It isn't a bad thing to ask people their names. Hm. She seems awfully young. He's been seeing a lot of Awfully Young today.]


Are you here with someone?
goldenwords: (004)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-09 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Did you see anyone sitting up there with me?

[So that's a no. She huffs again, blowing her hair out of her face as she catches up to him.]

It was dark in there, so I don't really remember, but were you in the well too? Or have you been here longer?

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-09 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Geez. Teenagers.]

Is there someone in town you know? [If anything, he doesn't seem bothered by the attitude. It actually is kind of familiar, reassuring. Blondish with sass. Too familiar. Take him back.] I came out of the well.

But there have been people here longer. Almost seven months.

If there is, I haven't managed to find them yet. But, hey - if you find a tallish bloke with dark skin, curly hair, and the fashion sense of a frumpy middle-aged man who answers to "Carter," tell him his darling little sister is looking for him, would you?

[Teenagers, indeed. She doesn't even bother to wait and see if he agrees before she continues.]

Huh. You walk around like you own the place, so I thought maybe you were one of the seven-monthers.

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-09 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll tell him if I see him. [Siblings. Ah...] I've only been here for a little while.

[It amuses him, however, that she thinks he walks somewhat cocky. Maybe he hasn't lost everything from his youth after all.]

I'm not afraid of being in another place, though. Being afraid makes it more difficult to focus on returning home.
goldenwords: (008)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-11 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...you think it's possible to return home, then?

[Sadie looks interested.]

Most of the people I've come across so far have been all... "You're here now, some of us have been here for a while." They weren't acting like we can go back.

[But if a bona fide adult thinks it's possible, maybe it actually is? ...not that Sadie's ever put all that much stock in what is or isn't possible, but it's good to hear other people's perspectives on it.]
ninjanature: (pic#12385807)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-11 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Six months or so is the longest. [To confirm the information she received from other people.] They aren't wrong. We could be here for years. They may not want new people to get their hopes up.

But it doesn't mean we won't ever be able to return home. Are you worried?

[He actually doesn't sound condescending when he asks this, only curious.]
goldenwords: (007)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-11 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm not worried about me. I can manage. Stiff upper lip, and all that.

[that's not going to make a lick of sense to a ninja, but whatever]

But I am worried about what sort of trouble my brother might get into back home if I'm not around to help him. He's very book smart, you see, but he lacks a little something called common sense.

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-11 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thankfully, he gets the gist of it, and even if his face doesn't really change, he's amused. Where are all of these headstrong kids coming from?

Sometimes, he really misses Itachi.]


If you're his sister, I'm sure he'll manage. You've given him as much knowledge as you can, haven't you?
goldenwords: (006)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-11 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's the other way around, really, but like hell is Sadie admitting that; she nods.]

Oh, I've tried, but honestly he's hopeless. He'll do quite well for a while until he starts losing his head over a pretty girl. ...luckily she typically knows what she's doing, so I suppose that so long as she doesn't show up here herself, he'll be jut fine.

[Oh no, cute. Cute siblings. Cute girls having to babysit their shitty boys. Was he ever really twelve or sixteen? It was so long ago... Problems were so simple then, and yet, they somehow found ways to fuck everything up.

Teenage life.]


From experience, it always seems to take a strong girl to keep boys in line.
goldenwords: (002)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-12 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Good on you for being able to admit it!

[Honestly, her impression of him just ticked upward. It's so rare for guys to admit something like that, particularly adult guys.]
ninjanature: (pic#12382353)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-12 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Commend my wife.

[The smile is only surprising for the people who have known Sasuke the longest. Still, it it's faint, and it looks strange on a man with such a typically stoic face.]

She took care of the two biggest morons the Land of Fire ever had.
goldenwords: (006)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-12 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

[ha, ha, he called himself a moron]

So what's the other moron like?
ninjanature: (pic#12385806)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-12 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He was one of the biggest morons out of the two of them, but what he's about to say will be the complete opposite of it. Sadie should understand how this goes, though. With her brother and all.]

Naruto.

He was a loser ever since he was young. He couldn't do anything right and always got into trouble. He did badly in school, was slow learning techniques, was lazy practicing, and he always bit off more than he could chew.

But he never stopped believing in his friends.
goldenwords: (014)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-12 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
He sounds like a little punk. [But she says that with a good-natured smile; apparently, being a punk isn't the worst thing in the world.]

Did he ever grow out of any of that?
ninjanature: (pic#12382350)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-12 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
He was.

[The question tugs the corners of his lips, but he is just barely away from actually smiling.]

He became Hokage, the leader of our village and the strongest ninja there. It was always his dream. I don't know if I would say he grew out of being a loser, though.

[This sounds entirely too affectionate for it to be true.]
goldenwords: (015)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-14 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Well, him being a loser can't have been that much of an issue if he was a good leader. A lot of the time leaders aren't very cool, anyway.

[They get boring because they have to stick to the rules and all that nonsense. (Naruto isn't boring, but Sadie has no way of knowing that.)]
ninjanature: (pic#12382344)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-14 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[This time, the smile manages to come to his face even if it's small.]

He won't ever be cool, just a loser. But that's okay. He's a good Hokage to the people of Konoha.
goldenwords: (008)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-16 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
All's well that ends well, in that case.

[Sadie looks thoughtful.]

We don't have someone like that here, do we?
ninjanature: (pic#12385829)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-16 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
No. A few people claim there's no leader here. [Sasuke still isn't sure if this is good news or bad news. He's been so accustomed to having a leader of some kind all of his life... it's hard to think of a place without one.] Guren Ichinose created a defense force.

He may be the closest to a leader, but it isn't official. He leads the force, not the village. So far, things seem to have run smoothly without one.

I don't know if that'll change in the future.
goldenwords: (Default)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-18 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Well, I guess if it works, it works, and it means you don't have to worry about all the nonsense that comes with elections and campaigns and all that.

[No dictators here.]

...soooo, what's the force supposed to be defending against anyway? Has anyone said?
ninjanature: (pic#12382354)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-18 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
No one in town that I've been told. It was made for organization and teamwork, and it was made to protect people here from things in the forest.

[No dictators here, thankfully.]

This place seems to have a high population of-- [He pauses briefly, eye glancing to Sadie... not pointedly so much as thoughtfully.] --those younger in age. [Calling them children seems insulting, is all. But it isn't wrong: a lot of them are kids, teenagers.]

I believe he made it so there's some order to coexisting.
goldenwords: (011)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-19 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
He sounds like an interesting guy. I'll have to go find him and say hi at some point. [run, guren.] Have you met him yet? Do you want to go find him together?

[say no. escape while you still can.]
