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!

What?

[Hunk looks around left and right. On ground level, of course, because naturally one tends to look around at ground level for someone speaking to them... usually. And then he looks up and up, his eyebrows going high.]

Uh. Chroma? But that's the name everyone else kind of voted to give it, who knows what it's actually called.

You didn’t bother finding out the real name?

[ she’s learned that they’re all strangers to this town, rather than the first wave having built it from the ground up, but in that case—isn’t it just plain rude to overwrite the hard work of the people who were here first?

surely there’s a newspaper somewhere with a name written on it. ]

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-10 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not like we didn't bother... I know I'm still curious but— there's nowhere to find it?

I mean. Most of the books around here are fairy tales, and there's not exactly people who used to live here walking out telling us the name of where we are. Or anything else.

[Hunk shrugs, hands upraised.]

And there’s really no graveyard?

[ she could just try to reanimate one of the dead bodies if she needed to, though it’s not something she’d love to do. ]

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-11 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. [...] Which, now that I think about it, huh. I don't think a lot about graveyards so I never thought about it much?

[as you do]

But there really isn't one around here. It's really like everyone just poof up and vanished one day.

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-11 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sierra thinks a lot about graveyards because that’s where she takes her finest naps. ]

…hm. [ finally, she slips from the roof after putting a cork back in her bottle and tucking it away. no worries about the gravity thing—she nearly floats. ] And none of you fools are worried the same thing will happen to us?

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-11 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm, like, generally worried about most things on a daily basis. [He laughs, a little nervously. Yup. Look at her floating.]

Lots of thinking about us abruptly vanishing [especially the people he likes here, especially Keith] or being attacked or the planet exploding but there's not a lot to do but take it day by day. Handle it as we can, you know?
regrede: (pic#12551610)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-11 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she’s just your friendly neighborhood vampire, don’t worry about her. ]

What would you say is the likelihood of the three of those things in order, here? From most to least likely, if you please.
atomicals: (pic#12315439)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-11 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh you magic types]

Being attacked is the most likely. By like werewolves or other things. People vanishing second most likely, it does happen with some people or they turn to stone and planet exploding least likely. That one's, like, a carryover from what I'm used to back home, the thought's kind of always there.

[But last he remembers they kicked some serious alien butt so he hopes, hopes that's not a concern at all. Besides, there's not been so much of a whiff of galra activity here and he would know!!]

[ so she doesn’t have to worry about any explosions, but attacks and disappearances do seem likely. the last time people just vanished… it wasn’t vanishing it all. it was a kidnapping. ]

Don’t you think the first two could have the same cause?
atomicals: (pic#12534509)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-11 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hunk folds his arms over his chest, head tipping slightly to one side.]

Same cause? I mean, I think it's likely. But if you're talking about attacks or kidnapping by creatures causing people to vanish, I don't know... I feel like we would've noticed that.

Even people who got werewolf-ified got cured by medicine or just on their own.
regrede: (pic#12554376)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-11 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Then where do you assume the people who’ve vanished have gone? Back home?

[ it’s awfully hopeful, isn’t it? ]
atomicals: (pic#12290062)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-11 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm really not sure.

[Hunk sighs, drumming his forefingers against his arm.] I mean, me and my friend left here. Briefly, as far as time passing here goes but we came right back.
regrede: (pic#12551597)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-13 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ if they came back, what does that really mean? sierra doesn’t know if it counts as escaping this place if they’re bound to return in the end. ]

How generous, to let you out of the cage for a few hours.
atomicals: (pic#12565941)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-13 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Weird, isn't it?

[He spreads his hands apart expressively.] The passage of time was just completely borked. We got back and it was, like, three days went by and it was ages back home.
regrede: (pic#12551598)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-13 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That’s disconcerting.

[ no two ways about it. she doesn’t like having her timelines messed with—there’s not much going on back home now that the war is over, but she does have mortal friends. ]

We must be gathered for a reason, but I’m not looking forward to finding it out.
atomicals: (pic#12565646)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-17 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I kind of want to hope that we're all here for... a good purpose. You know, saving this place. Something like that.

[Hunk isn't a pure optimist so even saying it is tinged with its fair bit of uncertainty but he says it anyway.]
regrede: (pic#12551612)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-18 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ah…

[ for as much of a downer realist as she’s made herself out to be, sierra smiles just a little at that. ]

In the place I came from, several of us were gathered… some of us fighters, some of us artists, some of us seemingly nothing at all… we were called together by the force of destiny to fight for peace.

[ she shakes her head. ]

Maybe it’s something like that.
atomicals: (pic#12565647)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-20 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, sweet.

[WITH FEELING. He sort of gets the whole force of destiny even though he's sciencey by nature and is automatically like "ehmmmm" in matters of destiny and magic.]

Man, that's way more common than I thought it was. Me and my friends were sort... of like that. We kind of got picked by giant robot lions rather than anything else.
regrede: (pic#12551596)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-21 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Robot… lions?

[ sierra’s eyes widen slightly. oddly enough, despite her medieval dress, she knows what a robot is, but a robot lion is a little newer to her. ]

How can something manmade have the will to choose you like that?
atomicals: (pic#12565928)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-22 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
They're more than just machines, there's something about them that kind of has a will of their own.

[It's difficult to describe, to say the least. Especially since it's all a nebulous, emotional thing.]

They're pretty amazing, actually. They can connect to us in a way? Or we connect to them?
regrede: (pic#12551610)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-23 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sierra pauses, considering that… connections, wills, it all makes sense to her in that way, but it’s hard to reconcile it being in the form of a machine. ]

Do they speak?
atomicals: (pic#12315447)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-24 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Not... exactly. It's more like they give you a feeling.

[It's hard to describe and he feels weird describing it because Hunk likes being able to put things into understandable terms.]
regrede: (pic#12554340)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-09-26 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah! You sound like a priest.

[ she’s amused, though—“empath robot lions” sounds like a doozy, and it’s a lot to hear on her first day in the town, but it’s not like she’s going to get culture shock. she’s lived too long for all that. ]
atomicals: (pic#12290048)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-09-30 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm gonna promise you right now that I've never in my life been compared to a priest.

[EVER!! But yeah it's hard to put in words so Hunk kind of makes a helpless gesture like I know it sounds weird but I give up.]
