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!

[ colour! ]

oh man the well is the WORST. Chroma's gotta learn to roll out a better welcome mat for newbies
finding out all the answers is a work in progress tbh. but i'll give ya the cliff notes!
so, everything in this creepy fairytale town revolves around fairytale fantasy RPG stuff or color theory stuff. like how we've all been arbitrarily assigned a hexcode
the theory we got is that we all got dragged here by whoever or whatever #FFFFFF is to bring the color back to the town somehow. which seems to happen LITERALLY by magic when we do stuff like complete quests or work together
and it's been said but yeah most of the things in the forest or in the water out in the harbor probably wanna eat us :/
oh and everyone here's from different universes
so on the bright side?? we're all living proof that the many-worlds hypothesis is actually many-worlds FACT!!

I've had worse kidnappings, honestly. Not the most respectful capture but I'll take that over torture any day.

Not sure how I feel about many worlds being a fact but I'll focus on that later.

What's the status on getting OUT of fairy tale video game hell? Any escape attempts happen yet? Is anyone even trying?
retrobeats: (Tab Clear)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-09-11 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
those two sentences are very worrying, you know that right?
i'm also not sure i'd call any kinda capture respectful lmao.

idk if there's any current escape plans on the table
there's this one guy who's hellbent on finding out everything he can about the well and since that's where we all woke up that might have something to do with it.
but someone else told me after i got here that if you try to leave by getting out the other side of the forest it either just loops around or goes on forever
he was a little unclear but there's obviously some kinda magic going on there

[personal profile] deathscyther 2018-09-14 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
To others, maybe.

Knowing that the forest LOOPS is a little more concerning to me.
Has that guy actually found out anything about the well?
retrobeats: (Clearly Canadian)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-09-14 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
also worrying ftr

like everything about this whole thing isn't concerning lmao
i think most of his discoveries have boiled down to "the well doesn't like it if you try and mess with it"
but last time i think he spent a night down there and had a vision or something??
i can't remember his hexcode but if you backread in the forums far enough you can read his posts for yourself, he's been super open about it
deathscyther: (✞ I don't want to be your hero)

[personal profile] deathscyther 2018-09-16 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
I think most of my life would be worrying for the average Joe.

I'll keep a look out for him, then.

I'm guessing then that there's just a lot that's unknown so far?

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-09-17 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
you got it in one, honestly
if you check out the very top of the thread where all the quests get posted up it looks like we're slowly getting the backstory filled in
atm i'm thinking that the dude from bluo messed up his rainbow love hen quest in a MAJOR way and somehow got the whole town super cursed because of it
but as for how that leads to something being able to pull off kidnapping all of us from across different dimensions to fix it? i'm totally clueless.
deathscyther: (Duo75)

[personal profile] deathscyther 2018-09-18 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, great. Punish all for the mistakes of one. That's awesome.

[Sarcasm doesn't come through text very well, but it's definitely there.]

Yeah I get the feeling no matter what I manage to find out I'm not going to crack that mystery any time soon, if ever.
retrobeats: (♫ "You make me mad")

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-09-18 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
i know, it's a perfect example to us all of how fairness and proportionate retribution works

[ luckily, Michael is conversant in sarcasm. ]

idk it might still happen
i mean there's plenty of smaller mysteries all stacked up here that are probably part of that one
deathscyther: (Duo45)

[personal profile] deathscyther 2018-09-18 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sarcasm buddies!]

Point.
Still leaves me unsure of where to really start, but I'm grateful that there's already been some people ahead of me on that front.
retrobeats: (Pepsi Strawberry Burst)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-09-19 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah if you think about it we have things way easier than the people that got dumped in the well first
as weird as that sounds
groundwork and all, you know?
deathscyther: (✞ Trying to reconcile)

[personal profile] deathscyther 2018-09-20 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean it's gotta start somewhere.
If we'd been first I doubt it would be much different.
Just means less start up for us to stress over, and more small details to dig in to.
retrobeats: (Fruitopia)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-09-20 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
i mean point
but we also have more time on our hands to dig into it right away cause we didn't have to worry so much about eating food that tastes like ash and setting up all the stuff we need to survive
deathscyther: (Duo95)

[personal profile] deathscyther 2018-09-24 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ash? That's the whole... food not having color thing, right?

... you know, I could probably handle it. It wouldn't be good but I've probably had worse.
retrobeats: (Coca-cola Blak)

[personal profile] retrobeats 2018-09-24 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
i mean
considering you keep stacking up all these worrying sentences like a super disturbing house of cards i believe it, man.
the good news is we DON'T have to handle that!! no need to feed on a tree frog or anything
but actually idk if tree frogs have color back yet, so if you really did get desperate enough to eat one those probably STILL taste of ash
deathscyther: (✞ I don't want to be your hero)

[personal profile] deathscyther 2018-09-26 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
What can I say, war is a bitch.

... is it weird that I sort of take that as a challenge to try it?
