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!

And it is mine to give, though I have no wish to force myself upon you. [ But he also doesn’t want to leave a woman in distress alone…what do… ]

Shall I perhaps seek out someone more favorable to you instead?

[robitussin]

I also have no wish for you to force it upon me, so I'm glad we agree there.

[She seems surprised for a moment by his next words. It's strange to her, just how willing he is to go out of his way to help. Regardless, she shakes her head.]

Why are you... [A small pause, while she finds her next words.] I mean, I asked if you happened to know where a change of clothes was. I didn't ask you to wander around in search of someone to give me a new outfit.

[noholdsbard]

Your urgency implies something more terrible.

[ Granted, maybe clothes are just really important to her or something? With how rushed she’d been, he’d thought that she might have befallen some more dreadful calamity. ]

Pray forgive me if that is not the case. I hate to see a woman in such distress.

[robitussin]

I think most people would seem more urgent after they woke up somewhere unfamiliar and had to haul themselves out of a well. I'll be fine.

[There's an embarrassed shade to her voice; admitting that she isn't doing well at any time isn't one of her strengths, and there's something uncomfortable in the way she crosses her arms.]

[noholdsbard]

Indeed… [ He certainly looks doubtful.

To her credit, he doesn’t doubt that she can take care of herself. He’s just a little worried that she’s kind of out of it right now. ]

But if you have need of me sometime in the future, then you may call upon Archer for help. I will rush to your aid without delay.

[robitussin]

...That's your name?

[There's a hint of a smile on her face that indicates some teasing might be on the way.]

[noholdsbard]

[ …As long as she feels better. He smiles in turn. ]

It should suffice.
