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!

Well, we usually have to play around with the scenario for a little bit.

[ Still whispering under his breath, even despite that tidbit about there probably being nothing around. The bit is something to commit to while Momo thinks of better courses of action, which all inevitably prioritize the safety of this well-dressed young man.

So. On one hand, he's making a show of being 'scared'; one palm pressed against the side of the wall, brows turned down in mock-anxiety.

On the other hand, he's calmly pulling off his jacket and pulling it as taut as he can manage.

"—Oh no! I can't believe we're stuck down here... I might have left the stove on at home! What a disaster!"

[Connor is curious about what he's doing with his jacket, but suddenly the other man is talking about the stove, and he guess this must be the acting.

He might as well follow along for now.]


The stove! Oh no. Someone should let us out so you can go check on that...?

[Is that what he should be saying? Should he be acting like an android, or a human? He wasn't prepared for this role at all!]

[ Unfortunately, Momo is a chronic ad-libber; he's turning towards Connor now, makeshift jacket-rope in one hand and his heart under the other. ]

They really should... but I'm more worried about your brother [ okay, Connor is definitely not Japanese, so it's time for Momo to think fast ] ...David! He's alone and sick at home, right?

[ With that said, Momo starts peeling off his shirt to add a few more inches to his clothes ladder. ]
usedlick: (you don't care I know)

[personal profile] usedlick 2018-09-11 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[That... actually throws him for a moment, because androids don't have brothers, and wouldn't that be obvious to anyone watching this show?

But it isn't actually being filmed, and perhaps he's just supposed to play-act anyway? It doesn't make any logical sense at all, but then, humans rarely do.

He might as well say something.]


...Right. David. He is home sick and I really must get back and take care of him.

[He eyes the clothes ladder, and, realizing what is going on, wonders if he should contribute. Technically he isn't allowed to remove his jacket, as it identifies him as an android, but... desperate times, right?

So he slips it off, and offers it to Momo.]


And your... wife. Needs to be picked up from the... office.

[Yes. He is so good at this.]

[ Any android-identifying markers are lost on Momo entirely, so he takes the jacket with a wink and a downturn of his brows that speak more to him being apologetic for ruining the clothes than anything else. Connor is, in fact, very well-dressed (despite the waterlogging), so Momo makes a silent gesture; a one-handed version of the prayer hands emoji. His bad!

The jacket gets dunked in water, pulled taut, and added to the ladder. At this rate, it’ll take an entire closet to get them up and over the ledge, but it’s. Something.
]

That’s right…! And it’s our anniversary tonight! She’s going to be so upset if I don’t make it for dinner…!

[ He clasps Connor’s shoulder, mock-distressed. ] What if she leaves me?! [ momo why are you taking this so far ]
usedlick: (you're gonna go i know)

[personal profile] usedlick 2018-09-13 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He isn't really concerned about the jacket itself, though getting it wet isn't an optimal outcome. Oh well. It can be washed and dried.

Instead of worrying about the jacket, he looks at the hand on his shoulder, and then the distress on Momo's face.]


It's alright. She loves you, or she wouldn't have stayed with you this long.

[A beat too long passes, and then he reaches up and pats Momo's hand with his own.]

[ Oh. For once, Momo's the one to look slightly off-kilter thanks to the reciprocation, but he quickly recovers; the acting is replaced with something noticeably more sincere, big eyes narrowed in contentment and appreciation. ]

That's super super sweet of you to say! It's true— I should never doubt the power of love so quickly.

[ A firm nod, and he goes in for a one-armed hug.

Holds it for a beat too long.
]
rerevale: (10.)

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-14 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
—And that would have been the perfect place for someone to burst in with the hidden camera, but no dice?!

[ He pulls away, apologizing for the hug with a one-handed prayer salute. His shirt ladder flops uselessly back into the water. ]

Sorry, it looks like we really do have to count on ourselves to get out of here... But I wasn't lying when I said that you're super super sweet, though!
usedlick: (cuz a free wind is blowing)

[personal profile] usedlick 2018-09-16 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He's... super sweet? But he was only saying what he thought a human would want to hear in that moment...

Well, no time for thinking on that. What the man says is right: they have to count on themselves to get out of here, and the time for pretend is over.]


I assume that you have a plan with our shirts?

[At least he hopes so, or else his jacket was just dunked in water for no reason. But he already is pretty sure he knows where Momo is going with this.]

Were you going to try to use them as a rope?
rerevale: (15.)

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-17 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, yeah, but this well is pretty deep... and we're running out of clothes...

[ He holds up the sad excuse for a clothes ladder, which would have been a lot more useful with a hook or a grappling device at the end. Alas. ]

I don't want to come on too strong by taking off my pants in front of someone I haven't traded names with yet, so maybe we have to think of something else...?
usedlick: (the nights are stronger than moonshine)

[personal profile] usedlick 2018-09-18 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Even if he did take his pants off, it probably wouldn't be enough. Connor looks up, thinking and calculating.]

If I lift you up, can you reach the neck of the well and climb up?

[Connor knows he could, but he's no sure Momo can lift him up. He's fairly lightweight, but it would still be like lifting up a well muscled human.]
rerevale: (10.)

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-19 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... I probably could try, but then that'd leave you down here!

I'm sturdier than I look, so maybe you could try standing on my shoulders, instead?

[ Which just reverses their positions in this equation, but Momo is far more comfortable with that than the alternative. ]
usedlick: (this town don't look good in snow)

[personal profile] usedlick 2018-09-19 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[And Connor is duty bound to not leave a human civilian in the well!]

That's alright. It's my job to help you first.

[Although, when he thinks about it more, they don't know what's at the top of the well...]

Although, I'm not sure about sending you up without knowing what's up there first. [So maybe Momo's plan is better...]

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-20 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. His 'job'?

There's a lot to digest here, so Momo takes it one step at a time, starting with the thought that alarms him less.
]

—Ah, what do you usually do? Are you a police officer or something like that...?

[ A firefighter? A security guard? All of these seem plausible; Connor looks like a very well put-together, polished person. ]
usedlick: (and the days surround your daylight ther)

[personal profile] usedlick 2018-09-20 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm an android, assigned to the Detroit Police Department. I actually assist detectives, but I am part of the police force.

[So hopefully that's not as concerning as Momo might be thinking! He's just a casual, well put-together robot...]
rerevale: (15.)

1/2

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-20 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. That's. Hm.

Momo parses everything after "android" just fine, but his mind keeps short-circuiting when it tries to process that first bit; really? An android? A real life android??
]
rerevale: (5.)

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-20 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
—Oh! S, should you even be in the water at all?! Are you okay?!

[ He won't question the veracity of Connor's comment, for now; his head'll explode otherwise. ]

H, here...! Climb up onto my back! [ He crouches in piggyback position.... gj Momo... ]
usedlick: (you don't care I know)

[personal profile] usedlick 2018-09-20 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, that seems to have made him more upset. Connor's brow crinkles in a show of concern.]

It's alright, I'm waterproof! But... if this is what you want.

[Okay, he'll just... climb onto Momo's back, then.

...There are probably a million better ways they could have done this and honestly why is he even letting this continue?]

[ Bless you, Connor... good android friend.

It takes a bit of huffing and puffing, but Momo manages to stand upright and haul Connor closer to the well's dimpled walls. Not much of a leg up, but a start.
]

Mm, I'm sorry I didn't even ask first...!

[ As if 'hey, are you a human or nah?' is something most people ask someone they've just met. Momo laughs through it, at the very least. ]

You're sure you're gonna be ok? Let's at least try to get you out as quickly as we can...!
usedlick: (the nights are stronger than moonshine)

[personal profile] usedlick 2018-09-23 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's alright. I should have made my identity clear from the beginning.

[If Momo didn't realize he was an android from his attire, Connor should have identified himself as one. It's his mistake. But normally people know right away... it's odd.

He reaches for the wall of the well, trying to find a good handhold.]

I really am alright. I'll get out of here and throw a rope down for you.

[He finally finds one he can grab onto, and starts pulling himself up.]
