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!

[ If it's any consolation, just about anything will offend Lottie. Especially with how high-strung she feels right now. But her ability to be offended is immediately replaced with her even more impressive ability to be confused.

While she definitely appreciates the smarts this guy has - because Lottie definitely is a lovely woman, and she's in distress! - she doesn't understand this get-up. Well, it doesn't hurt to ask, right??? ]

..Can you take me home?

[noholdsbard]

[ To his credit, he does think twice before answering that. ]

Of course, if you mean that place designated in your letter… [ Look, he’d love to take her home home, if he only knew how. ]

[oomfies]

[ Letter? Letter?????????????? You mean the one she tore in a fit of rage???????????? That one?? ]

Yes. Of course.. The home designated in my letter.

[ Lottie gives him something close to a (stiff) smile as she responds, but refuses to elaborate or give.. really any useful information. ]

[noholdsbard]

[ …Right. This is going to be a problem. But he’s not so much annoyed as he is very concerned. ]

Indeed… [ Does she not know where it is? Oh dear. He has to approach this delicately— ]

But perhaps you are already exhausted in your search. Perhaps you’d like me to escort you to somewhere more comfortable first, that you might find your bearings?

[oomfies]

[ He would be very much correct in his assumption she has no idea where it is. Where she lives, that is. Her letter? She remembers distinctly where she tore it up. Should she mention it?

..Maybe not. ]

Yeah!! I'm really exhausted.. It's been a super long and terrible day. [ That much is true, at least. Lottie moves closer to him, entirely complacent in letting him lead the way. ] I would love that, to be honest, but uh, would you really be alright with that? Helping me like this?

[noholdsbard]

But of course. I could not bear to leave such a lovely woman to face her troubles alone. You will have my aid for as long as you desire it.

[ 100% no strings attached and he wouldn’t even be mad if she’d admitted to tearing that letter up. Chivalry’s a helluva drug. ]

[oomfies]

[ The flattery... It warms her heart and at the same time makes her question if this guy has an agenda or not. Just because he looks super medieval doesn't change the fact he's a guy! ]

With how things are going, that might be a while.. Just so you know.

[ But even if she's Suspicious she will never deny free help. Of any kind. ]

..Have you explored this place? Or did you just leave that well, too?

[noholdsbard]

That is fine. [ Granted, by then someone more qualified will probably take over. Who knows? ]

But no. I’m afraid I’ve only just arrived myself, and have been exploring the area before I chanced upon you.
