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!

N-No, I don't think so. It just ...

[ She looks up at him. ]

It looks different from everything else here.

[ The fact that the world seemed to be almost completely devoid of color was not something she had really thought about until presented with the food, which had color. She was so busy trying to figure out what was going on to begin with that she hadn't really taken notice. ]
satanslash: (Rin233)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-10 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. ... OH!

[Okay, he gets it!]

Right! That's... at least part of the reason we're here. We've been slowly gettin' color back. It was completely black and white when I got here. It's actually kinda cool how it's been comin' back in pieces. But uh. Avoid food that don't got color, okay? It's awful.
spiria: (⌠ liked ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-10 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ THAT was what was different. She had noticed something was off about the world, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it until now. No color in many, many places. ]

That's ... actually kind of interesting.

[ It's nice to know there was some purpose for being brought here. Obviously she wouldn't have been brought here unless she was needed, right? ]

How have people been getting color back? What have they been doing?

[ HOW CAN SHE HELP?! ]

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-10 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not all great. Some of the color coming back is pretty horribly garish.

But maybe still better than no color at all.]


Uh... well, might sound crazy but... quests?
spiria: (⌠ fond ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-10 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Not crazy at all!

[ It seemed like something she had been doing back home, going from one objective to the next. ]

Besides, if I can't get home for a while, I may as well do what I can to help out here.

[ It would help keep her from thinking too much about what she couldn't control, too. ]
satanslash: aivainej @ dreamwidth (pic#9486479)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-10 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's been my thoughts on it, too. I ain't too caught up in tryin' to find a way to get out right now.

[He motioned to the food he'd handed her again.]

G'on and eat, though. Probably a good idea to get your strength back after dealin' with the well.
spiria: (⌠ surprised ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-10 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. You're probably right. Thank you for the food!

[ She beamed at him, a real smile this time. She'd have time to really think about the situation later, she supposed, but for now she was happy to know there was at least a reason she was here. She began to eat the food offered to her. ]

Oh, wow ... You're really talented.
satanslash: (Rin54)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-10 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh... thanks.

[Rin practically beams, grin toothy and showing off his fangs. His tail wags a little, not completely in view behind his back but still somewhat visible.]

I was gonna go deliver the rest to anyone else who might need help at the well before headin' back to my place, but if you're in Bluo I'm pretty easy to find.

[He points at the map pinned to the board.]

The town has three districts, and I think you got a letter sayin' where to go if you wanna find a place to stay.
spiria: (⌠ ? ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-10 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
A letter?

[ And that was when she started looking, realizing there was a soaking wet piece of paper sticking out from the bottom of her shorts.

.... Had that always been there?? She quickly took it and gently unfolded it. Sadly, it was pretty drenched. ]


... Oops?
satanslash: (Rin355)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-10 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[... that's an odd place to put it. Guess she doesn't have pockets in those uh... shorts.

Are those even shorts?

Seriously what is she wearing? He was trying very hard not to stare but it was harder now that she'd pulled the letter out.]


Uh-- y-yeah, that's it! It should uh. Tell you. ... where to go.

[Fuck.]
spiria: (⌠ argue ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-12 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's some weird bodysuit thing. We're not even sure, let's be real. All that matters is that she knows how to maneuver around in it. And that it looks dang good on her. ]

... It's all wet.

[ The letter is. The writing is a bit runny, but she can make out some words? Maybe? She shows him the letter. ]

You might be able to make out what it says better than I do?
satanslash: fullofowls @ tumblr (pic#9486487)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-14 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
... ew.

[Well water. Gross. Of course it was wet, though. It wasn't like she had anything waterproof on her person.

He took it carefully, tilting his head a few times while trying to make out the running words. He could barely read on a good day... so this was basically hard mode for him.]


Uh. Well! I see Bluo. That's important.
spiria: (⌠ ? ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-24 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Bluo ...

[ She'd seen that word on the bulletin board. ]

So, I guess that's ... here?

[ She points at the location labeled 'Bluo' on the map that was on the board. ]
satanslash: (Rin233)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-24 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Rin gives a nod, pointing his own finger at a drawn house in the district.]

This is me right here, and the cafe. I just run it outta my kitchen but if you ever want food or to just uh... h-hang out...
spiria: (⌠ stretch ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-24 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see ...

[ Well, food is good. Friendship is good. There does not seem to be a downside to this. ]

I'd like that! Thank you!

[ YAY SHE MADE A FRAND. ]

... But does that mean that I am supposed to go there too?
satanslash: icon-princess @ tumblr (pic#10007279)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-24 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Rank up!]

Yeah. There's a place to stay there for you. Not gonna be much in it, but a roof over your head and a crappy mattress is better than nothing at all.
spiria: (pic#7357168)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-24 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no worries, I'm used to roughing it. I've been camping on and off for a while now. A crappy mattress is only a tiny more luxurious than what I've gotten used to.

[ They did stop into inns every so often, many times because she was having a hard time, but they also did more camping out than anything. She got used to it. She also didn't really have the emotional capacity to care about it, but she wouldn't have complained even if she had. ]
satanslash: (pic#12323932)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-26 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Rin's dorm may not have been five stars, but his Chroma house had been a bit of a downgrade at the beginning.]

Well uh, you can fix it up and stuff after you're settled in.
spiria: (⌠ shoulder ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-30 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[ That's something she can work on in time ... If she was going to be here for a while, anyway. ]

How am I supposed to know which place I should stay in? Is it just a matter of finding a place and claiming it?
satanslash: (Rin355)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-30 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, well. That's... kinda the weird part? You're just gonna kinda know. You won't have to stay there after you find it but it'll give you a place to rest for a bit and you can grab your laptop if you decide to move anywhere else.
spiria: (⌠ curious ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-30 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
You just ... know?

[ It wasn't really a foreign concept to her, to just know something by intuition, but it was a little strange when applied to something like a place to stay.

There was something else he had said that confused her more, though. ]


... Laptop?
satanslash: aivainej @ dreamwidth (pic#9486474)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-30 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You're gonna find out how weird this place is pretty fast.

[Welcome to Chroma! We're super fucked up!]

Oh uh. It's a computer you can carry around.

[She doesn't know what a computer is!]

Erm. Basically a device you can use to talk to other people when they're not with you. If you find yours you can bring it by the cafe I can show you how to work it.
spiria: (⌠ alarm ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-30 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Okay. It sounds like it might be something I'll need help with, so I guess having you show me would be good.

[ She doesn't have any idea about that stuff. ]

So, ah. I guess we should start heading towards Bluo then?
satanslash: (Default)

[personal profile] satanslash 2018-09-30 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not great with computers but I know enough about this one! But, yeah, get goin' that way, you shouldn't miss it. I'm gonna go check the well and make sure everyone else is alright.
spiria: (⌠ surprised ⌡)

[personal profile] spiria 2018-09-30 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay. That's ... probably a good idea, yes.

[ She would probably be right there with him if she weren't new herself and in dire need of figuring stuff out. ]

Once I find my place, I might come back and help you with that. If that's okay?
