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!

No!! I'm going to stay far away from the bears and young women who waste time talking about such nonsense!

[STARES... Go ahead, thrill him with the death bears!!]

[osuni]

[HMM, OKUNI IS OFFENDED. She is a liar through and through and loves making up stupid stories, but to be accused of lying when she's telling the truth for once... You reap what you sow. but still.]

If you think it's nonsense, then you're free to go inside and check for yourself!

[okuni earlier: hey don't go inside u'll meet laser beam bears
okuni now: GO IN THE FOREST REIM!!!]

You'll find those bears eventually. They'll have the head and claws of a crab and lots of extra little legs, and also they'll breathe fire -- but more importantly, they love eating men too suspicious to believe they exist. The taste of a disbeliever is really too tempting to pass up on...!

[allweather]

[Oh, she's bothered, well maybe she should try being HONEST!!!! Reim is still listening to this anyway, although he can't fathom why. Surely crab bears that breathe fire and shoot lasers are too fake even for this place.]

This is what I was talking about when I said "waste time," by the way.

[FAKE]

If you'd like to be serious, I'd be happy to listen!

[osuni]

No way, my words aren’t getting through to you at all! What a stubborn old man...

[THE OLD WAS UNNEEDED, but anyway she had to say that. That is her Brand. She looks at Reim like she can’t believe he’s a great big unbeliever when he just woke up in a well a few hours earlier.]

What kind of place are you from that waking up in wells is normal, but mutant bears aren’t?

[allweather]

[HE'S OLD AT HEART... it slides off him like water off ducks, he is Unbothered. Try again, Okuni.]

Well, most places have wells, and I've never heard of any that has mutant bears. Therefore... [He sort of gestures with one hand, like, clearly that means it's more likely that one would wake up in a well than see a mutant bear.

Technically, he is not wrong, so there.]

[osuni]

Yes, but those places don't have complete strangers from other worlds waking up in their wells, do they!

[REIM IS WRONG!!!! or maybe reim is from a place where that exact thing happens...]

Anyway, if you really can't trust what I say, then you can go ahead into the forest to see for yourself! Or ask Ichi-chan or Lu-chan, since they were there fighting those bears with me.

[allweather]

It's more likely... [No this has never happened, but would he be surprised if it did? Considering his social circle, not at all. One of them would surely wake up in a well one day, somewhere else. Or just throw someone down one-!!

Anyway: whomst.]

Who?

[osuni]

Guren and Lupin!

[Okuni helpfully adds, she should have just said those names in the beginning but LOOK, SHE DOES WHAT SHE WANTS]

Guren's an aggravating man who thinks taking care of people matters more than taking care of himself. If you stick near the forest for another hour, then he'll come running out to babysit you. Oh, and he's the captain of the defense force here, I guess. [but that's not important]

And Lupin is a very charming gentleman who's also a troublemaker, but a much better kind than Guren. He can't fight at all and he dresses like you, so maybe you'll have more in common with him?

[reim has bandages, he's probably a dweeb]

[allweather]

Oh, the mouthy young man. [Look..... Guren helped him, sort of, but he also has an attitude and judged Reim for being scared of a squirrel. It's fine. He means this with the utmost respect.

Anyway, whomst is Lupin? A fellow fancyboy??]

Why do you assume so easily that I can't fight...? [woe] I can't, but still.

[osuni]

[Okuni's earlier irritation immediately disappears when Reim calls Guren "mouthy". yeah... yeah!!! +2 relationship points for semi-dunking on guren]

I have a good eye for helpless scholar types who go around writing things down near places where they can get mauled by bears!

[BRIGHTLY]

Anyway, what's in your notebook? Can I see? [okuni immediately attempting to encroach Reim's personal bubble]
