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!

he loves cats so much

( he could even fly mogget around, if he asked for a lift. but walking is just as good, they're not going horrendously far out of the way. and flying is a bit colder, too--all that wind. instead he wraps his arms around his little bundle as best as he can, makes sure to give him as much body heat as possible through the jacket. )

Sorry, I'll remember that from now on. Mr. Mogget. ( it's important to always be polite even with a talking cat ok. most cats generally look unhappy so the look doesn't deter his smile at all. ) Fishing's fun! I'll work on getting you one once your fur's nice and dry.

( though that does remind him: )

Are you comfortable with other cats? My best friend, Damian--he has a cat named Alfred who lives at the boathouse too. I can take you to my Dad's place if you would prefer to be somewhere without other cats. He won't mind, I'm sure.

[Mogget has spent the past two thousand years in the company of humans, but he honestly can't remember ever meeting someone quite like this. People usually ignore him, or treat him like he's an incredibly dangerous creature, which... okay, yeah, that's fair. Treating him with respect, though? Pampering him? Hmm!! Where's the catch...]

I do not mind other cats, although I cannot say the opposite is always true. We are very... perceptive. [And he's a cat-that-is-not-a-cat? Things can get awkward! He does, however, want that brushin' almost as much as he wants a fish, so—he airily waves a paw.] But this boathouse of yours will be fine, so long as it is a sound vessel. I've had my fill of water for the day.

[For this century, really. He settles back down into the jacket, glancing up at the boy one more time before turning his attention back to their surroundings.]

Do you not live with your father? You are quite young.
kryptomight: (it's quite the predicament.)

[personal profile] kryptomight 2018-09-11 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. It's a great boathouse, definitely not going to tip over any time soon. ( mogget doesn't want to be fluffed, so jon's careful to dry him down, doing his best not to get his fur all puffy. brushing it will probably help a lot more than that though, but they'll get there soon. )

My dad's also here but my best friend is, too. He moved out on his own instead of living with his dad, and I didn't want him to get lonely--so I moved in with him. He's really great, you'll like him. ( or not. damian's a little. . sassy. snarky. can be difficult to get along with if one doesn't know him very well. ) I'm ten. And I know how to take care of myself a little. Mom and Dad made sure I could. I can even fix my own clothes.

( a little, anyway. he's not great at it but jon knows how to use a needle and thread. )

Damian and I do pretty okay.

[Mogget and Damian are going to be a beautiful disaster. But ten? Ten? Mogget snorts quietly, because ten years is the length of a really, really good nap.]

"Pretty okay," you say. I suppose there is something commendable about doing things on your own at such a young age, although I find that the younger a human, the sillier they tend to be.

[Teens are another beast entirely! But while that's certainly a rude thing to say to a child, his tone isn't sarcastic at all; it's very matter-of-fact, because listen, kiddo, he's been around humans for way too long. He's seen some things, which is why, after another few seconds of silence, he oh-so casually asks:]

What would you say you have the most trouble with?

[Not that he's offering to help if he can!! Gosh!]
kryptomight: (we've got lists of butts to kick!)

[personal profile] kryptomight 2018-09-13 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
( there's no offense taken; he knows he's silly, that kids definitely can be and that he is still just a child. jon has no illusions about that. his parents--restrict what he can do all the time, but it's because they love him and want him to be safe, not because they want to ruin his fun. while ten, he does have a sense of clarity years beyond him. )

That's a good question. I'm not sure? Food here is weird but it's like that for everyone. We wash our own clothes and stuff, and Damian's really good at figuring stuff out. I still follow my bedtimes. . kinda. And I see Dad every day. I miss sandwiches but there isn't really any bread here so.

[Bedtimes and... bread? Mogget could snort, honestly, but he somehow manages to keep his humor in check. Many of the adult humans he's served over the centuries wouldn't last a day without a gaggle of servants tending to their every need, so he's willing to admit that Jon is... sensible. Maybe.]

No bread? A veritable tragedy. But if I should ever come across a loaf, perhaps I will keep you and your friend in mind. [A sniff.] I much prefer meat, anyway.

[IT'S... the best way he knows how to thank this kid?]
kryptomight: (words that shine so bright.)

[personal profile] kryptomight 2018-09-16 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
( growing up on a farm does that to a boy. especially a boy with parents who made sure their child would grow up to be resourceful and self-reliant, but not--too self-reliant. he takes mogget's response positively, giving a bright smile and a short nod of his head. )

Oh, that'd be great! Thank you so much, Mr. Mogget. ( which times in just perfectly with approaching the boathouse. there's a raft that would take them over to it (a short way off the deck, not too far), but jon skips that and instead takes a bit of a leap to get himself started, flying across to the boat and landing gently just in front of the door. ) So this's our boathouse, it's super sturdy and nice.

[personal profile] purrsuasively 2018-09-16 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[The second that Mogget realizes what Jon is planning to do, he tenses right the heck up. That distance looks far too wide for him to jump! Obviously he's planning to just, like, dive into the water while holding a cat, because haha, isn't that hilarious? Isn't that the best prank of all time???

Except that... doesn't happen, of course, and he can't help but to feel relief when Jon's feet touch down on the nice, solid deck. He's too old for this! He's way too old for this!
]

Thank the Charter for that. We shall see if the interior measures up to this sterling endorsement.

[That comes out a bit more cross than he'd wanted it to, but he's not about to apologize for it as he looks around. A boat is a boat, he thinks, and he has something else on his mind.]

That... leap of yours. [He sits up straighter in Jon's arms, peering closely at the bot's face.] How did you accomplish such a thing? I sensed no magic.
kryptomight: (livin' life just as i should!)

[personal profile] kryptomight 2018-09-18 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Kryptonian. ( he says simply, as if that'll make everything make sense. ) So I can fly and I'm super strong and stuff.

( there's a loose lift of jon's shoulders before he's taking mogget deep inside. there's another cat they pass by--a short hair tuxedo, who pays them no mind as they enter. alfred the cat is great, used to strange stuff happening all the time. passing through the living room, they go right by krypto, too: a large, white dog who seems to be having the time of his life rolling around against some blankets piled on top of the couch. jon gives him a quiet "hey, krypto!" in greeting before passing him up, too.

and takes mogget right into the tiny nook of a bedroom, grabbing a makeshift brush off the top of a stand and a towel off a chair before sitting himself down with the cat still on his lap. )


Let's get you cleaned up.
