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!

[He doesn't know what any of that means.]

But you don't remember how you were separated from them?

[promissum]

[It's for the best, Connor.]

I have no idea. It could be another part of God decided I should be separated from my comrades. [His gaze narrows as he considers this possibility.] Very well. I accept that challenge. I'll make more comrades here!

[usedlick]

[Connor just stares at him.]

Maybe we should get everyone out of the well, first? [Then he can make all the friends he wants.]

[promissum]

Yes, very well. I shall assist you in getting everyone out.

[Then he does! Of course there are others who are helping with the well rescue efforts.

Eventually they get everybody out and Val stretches himself out, apparently glad to be himself instead of a colony of bats.]

[usedlick]

[Very impressive! Connor now thinks it would very useful if he could turn into a colony of bats, but alas, he cannot.]

You got everyone out very efficiently. I'm impressed, Mr. Valvatorez.

[promissum]

[It's a skill for only a very specific subclass of demons. And sadly, Connor is not a demon.

Val nods.]

Of course! If I cannot have my comrades from home, I'll make comrades with the people who are here. Humans do this by helping each other out of difficult situations.

[usedlick]

[Technically, Connor is not a human, but whatever. It's possible Val was referring to the others in the well, after all.]

I'm going to see what else I can find out about how we all ended up in this place. If you learn anything, would you mind sharing that information with me? We can work together.

[promissum]

[Humans, demons, angels- Val will take friendship where he can get it.

So he's just a little touched when Connor says he wants to talk with him again. Sure, it's only for information gathering but it's still company.]

Shall we plan for another meeting by the well?

[usedlick]

This seems like a good meeting place. [He looks around, taking a mental scan of the area, so he knows it for later. He's a little perturbed it's clearly not anywhere in Detroit, but that's what he's going to find information about!] Then yes, we'll meet back here after we've looked around.

[promissum]

Then we shall meet again tomorrow. I don't know if there's any way to tell time here. [He can't set a specific time. Tsk.]

[usedlick]

I have 10:43 AM, Eastern Standard Time. [Connor glances around, though unfortunately, there are no clocks in the vicinity.] I don't know how accurate that is, though.

oops

[promissum]

[Oh so this is an American made robot? Telling the time is a useful tool.]

I have nothing to check you against. [Unfortunate.] Let's meet again tomorrow morning.

[usedlick]

[The lack of clocks is a serious issue. He'll have to come up with a way to fix that, if they're going to be spending any serious amount of time here.]

Alright. I'll see you then.
