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!

[hmmhmmhhnn]

...We could go in quickly, if you really want. But not too deep. I'm trying to catch people who are thinking of wandering in alone.
allweather: (stop it oh god)

["just the tip" - Guren]

I only need a few minutes to record some preliminary findings, if that's alright.
swordfucker: (58)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-09 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine. But only because you look like you'd go in without me if I said no.

[He doesn't want a death on his conscience!! Anyway, he's just walking right in, then. Keep up with those tall Reim legs.]
allweather: (destruction)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-09 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[The rare tsundere is here... Reim's giant legs are good for keeping up, for sure, but not as great for keeping up is how much he hates nature and how he's still fucking injured in like, 4 places. Hmm. This was a stupid idea.]

--Now then, what- oh- [he gets branched right in the side of the head while trying to write notes and walk at the same time] What are the most common dangers of the forest?
swordfucker: (51)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-09 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a quiet smirk at the branch slap, but he won't say anything. That's kindness, right.]

The deeper you go, the worse it gets. There are mythological creatures, like harpies, but even the normal animals of the forest are twisted. As if their mutations weren't enough, like birds with three sets of wings or four feet, they can sometimes do out of the norm things like breathe fire.

It can play with your mind, too. Mazes out of nowhere, spirits or demons appearing to test your resolve... Almost everyone has had their own experience in here.

But if you stay shallow like this, it's not such a bad thing.
allweather: (freak)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-10 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[bitch]

I saw a few strange animals back in town... You do make a case for never coming in here again, after today.

[He says this, but he'll be back because apparently people always need reds for fighting stuff in here, but he mercifully doesn't know that yet. Soon.]

Is it known why the animals look that way?
swordfucker: (187)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-10 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...The ones in town probably belong to other people.

[It's weird as shit what comes in here sometimes, but he doesn't pretend to understand.] Anyway, no, not really. I can only assume it has to do with the magical energy surrounding this place.

Sometimes there are hybrid animals, and when someone I know purified them, they separated— one of the animals died, and the other came back fully healthy and normal. It's corruption doing this, one way or another.
allweather: (put it down)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-10 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cool... that's weird, but somehow not as terrifying as a dimension full of death monsters that might be former humans, so Reim accepts this with a hum and the gentle sound of more scribbling.]

I see. And this corruption therefore is synonymous with the magical energy...? Does it have a source?
swordfucker: (47)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-10 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It feels like the whole forest is a source, but I can't really tell. The water's no good, either.

[So... beats him. There's some rustling between the trees now, and Guren curls his fingers on his sword, just in case, glancing to it. Nothing, at least not now.]
allweather: (secrets!! whisper!! secret words)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-10 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
So it could be coming from anywhere, huh... [Lovely. Well, he'll look into that, somehow. The rustling makes him freeze, and even when it seems like nothing is coming for them, he still speaks more quietly. Aaa.]

Now, you must have some idea as to why only certain items have color to them.

[Of course it's more nerd stuff.]
swordfucker: (227)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-10 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[what a nerd]

Nothing had color except us when the first group arrived. It seems like forming bonds with each other, whether positive or negative, helps restore color to the world.

It doesn't come back so normal all the time, though. If you haven't noticed. [Like... purple ketchup.

The rustling increases all at once, and out comes... a squirrel. A mutated squirrel with two tails the size of a small dog. It gives each of them a look, sits on its back legs, and then runs up a tree like a normal squirrel would. Thanks.]
allweather: (yiiiiiii)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-10 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, now Reim has a hand clutched on Guren's sleeve, please do not leave him here with the mutant squirrels. This is harrowing.]

That-- yes, well, I've noticed plenty of things aren't exactly normal.

[Letting... go..... he's fine.]
swordfucker: (9)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-11 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, he doesn't even mind... It's better this secretary man clutches to him than gets pinned by squirrels, right? Guren's eyes are still following it, too, like he's not sure if it's going to turn around and shoot laser beams or something ridiculous.]

There are quests posted on the forums each month, too, by a username we can't connect to anyone. [Sorry this isn't very ye olde, Reim. The squirrel is gone, at least, and Guren looks back at him.] This is the first time there's been a quest that's aiming to pit us against each other... but the rest of them are pretty standard. They've been helping with the color, too, I think.
allweather: (moron moron moron moron)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[What is with the LASER BEAM ANIMALS!!! Reim is still struggling with the existence of giant mutant squirrels, pushing his glasses up his nose in an attempt to look remotely put together after that. He should never have been allowed in here.]

Some kind of task and reward system...? That seems like a tedious way to get things done on such a large scale. The color is... well, there still isn't much of it, from what I've seen.
swordfucker: (190)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-12 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[It's better that he came with a bodyguard than him going in alone, at least. Guren slows his steps so they don't run into something else immediately terrifying for this nerd.]

Tedious is right. There's not much of it, and it's coming in all wrong. I don't know what we're actually doing with it, but if we refuse to do the quests, it's more of a problem, so that's where we're at right now.
allweather: (tw: vincent is still here)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-14 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
How can it be more of a problem than things like that animal...?

[That's an example, don't bully him. He's only seen one mutated thing up close and it happened to be a big squirrel, so that's what he has to work with here!!]
swordfucker: (202)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-14 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He tries not to laugh at that comment. The mutant squirrel... a horror.]

Our houses started caving in around us if we didn't clean things fast enough, for the first big quest we had here.
allweather: (put it down)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-15 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[shut up glen]

That won't be a problem, [he says automatically like the true nerd he is] I am fastidious.
swordfucker: (47)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-16 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
...And then, there were monsters like werewolves that were changing people into beasts, or the sirens that kidnapped a large number of us.

[Well, he's really glad Reim is good at being a butler, though. They all desperately need more people like that, anyway?]
allweather: (you could kill a man with those)

[personal profile] allweather 2018-09-18 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[Terrifying. He'll stay home and clean.]

I will lock my doors. Perhaps twice.
swordfucker: (50)

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-09-18 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha.

[Reim is funny, he's like... so not like anyone from Guren's world since they're all army types prepared to fight or die. It's a nice change. Endearing, he guesses? But anyway, he puts out his hand to stop their walking, glancing into the forest.]

If we keep going this way, I can sense something a lot worse than that squirrel thing. I'm sure I can take it no problem, but it's up to you if you want to see it or not.
