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!

[Well... Zelda isn't wrong, and maybe that's the real sting. So he doesn't answer for a long stretch of time, instead turning his head to look away. She caught him.

Sasuke Uchiha, been through some Shit.]


It's fine to be homesick. [His voice is quiet.] It's fine to be angry or sad. But being a nuisance here won't be helpful. Being scared makes you disorganized.

I'm unable to control the destination of my dimensional portals. I'll be of little help until I can.

...Nonsense. As long as you're willing to help others, that makes you all the help we need.

[ she doesn't know anything about those dimensional portals he mentioned, but she can't abide by someone thinking they're useless just because their power may not work. that sort of mindset is simply... awful, she knows too well. ]

[Ahh... Too pure. He doesn't deserve this at all.]

I plan to do what I can. [He's the Hokage's shadow? Works from the background, the sidelines.] But I'll leave most to the rest of you. I think you can handle it.

There's quite a few of you here who are powerful and cunning. Including yourself. Right?

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-09-11 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ hm! ]

There are a lot of fighters here, yes. Most seem to favor some variety of a sword as their weapon of choice, but others can use magic. You'll find there's no short supply of powerful and cunning types.

[ that completely and definitely answered his question. ]

[It's fine. He's actually probably one of the most overpowered pieces of garbage here. He's just playing along a little to see if she'll tell him anything he doesn't know and can't see with the sharingan or rinnegan.]

I see. [This place has a handful then.] Has a leader been appointed?

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-09-11 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ i, for one, hate that you're probably right about that. ]

We have no leader. We self-govern as a community, primarily in pressing matters. No one here should be held above others in my opinion. Especially not when people can disappear at any moment without warning.

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-11 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[It's different for him, not to have some kind of leader. Not to have a daimyo, or, more closely, not to have a hokage. His world has battled for a very long time over leadership, over positions of power.

It isn't that he believes there should be one, only he is interested in figuring out what it's like to experience a place without one.]


People disappear at random?

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-09-11 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. We know it isn't a typical kidnapping because even any means of contacting them over the forums will vanish as well.

[ and, this is going to sound dubious, because it is - ]

We suspect it means they have returned to their realm, but we don't have a way to prove that.

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-11 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. [A relief, though not for the rest of the people here. Well... maybe a relief for them, in a way, but envy in another.

His lips pull into a frown.]
I'll look into it, but I'm sure some of the rest of you are already doing that much.

I might be able to see something important with the sharingan or rinnegan.

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-09-11 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose those must be your special power? Technique? [ she smiles a little slyly. ] Whatever you can find, anything at all, will be helpful. There are a lot of mysteries to this realm we have yet to uncover.

[ :eyes: ]

I've heard a few already from some others. [Thanks, he hates it.] It seems we have a job to do before we're able to leave.
withwisdom: game cutscene (⟡ frog)

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-09-11 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ :eyeroll:? ]

One we should all work toward. [ speaking of which- ] When you have the chance, check on your computer. There are quests people can undergo together to help restore the color.
ninjanature: (pic#12382350)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-11 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
So I've been told. [He's found his computer out of the strange draw he followed to one place, but he hasn't messed with it very much yet.] What happens when color is restored to things here?

Aside from being colorful.
withwisdom: game cutscene (⟡ worry)

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-09-12 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It heals the land. Or so I believe it does. [ she likes to think it that way, because otherwise the pain of doing some of these quests is pointless. ] Whatever has taken the color of this world, it must be a deep and engraved cursed onto the land itself.
ninjanature: (pic#12382354)

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-12 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is probably something Sasuke understands better than a handful of others. Curses and a sick land regardless of color loss.]

I think you may be right. The eyes I possess can see many things, but there isn't any color here at all, even with them activated.

It isn't an illusion, as far as I can tell.

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-09-12 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It may not even be malevolent forces at work either. There's truly little we know about what happened to the land.

[ she tried to purify something without color using her sealing power, but it was as though the item was completely untouched. ]

What we know is that the quests we take and accomplish have some affect on changing the color of the land. We cannot control it to an exact science, but even the slightest bit of change is an improvement over none at all.

[personal profile] ninjanature 2018-09-12 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. I'll see what I can find out.

[Color is beneficial, quests are important, no leader, a defense force, the church is probably sacred. Sasuke lifts his head and peers up the length of the building, gaze contemplative but maybe not about what he's seeing.] I apologize again about the church.

[Facing her, he bows his head and shoulders politely.]

Thank you for the help.

There's no harm done. [ and she bows in return, a little further down than him in minding her royal court manners. ] Should you wish to speak again, I'm rather easy to catch around.

[He does not deserve this bow at all ever.]

I know. I'll just stand on the church.

[His voice is as dry of humor as his lips are of a smile, but hopefully she'll get the joke.]
withwisdom: game cutscene (⟡ alright)

Ha-ha.

[ there's your cookie, sasuke. ]
