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!

[Even now, the cape seems to billow in no wind at all.

When he's questioned, he looks down at his clothes. They don't seem to have any tears where they shouldn't.]


What about it?
fivefingerdeathpunch: a low-key glare that's almost more dismissive than a glare (gimme a fuckin break)

[Jotaro just Looks at him. Have you seen yourself in a mirror recently, dude?]

You look like if Bela Lugosi was an elf.
promissum: (Neutral)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-11 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no idea who that is. Besides, I've always been myself and no one else.
fivefingerdeathpunch: eyes closed but still listening (keep talking)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-11 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's... fair, maybe, it's not like Jotaro's referencing a modern actor at this point, but seriously?]

If you're happy with "yourself" looking like a shitty Halloween vampire...

[He's not the fashion police.]
promissum: (Listening)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-11 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Val is kind of modern but the names of humans often escape him.]

Of course I look like a vampire. I'm a demon vampire. [He says it so easily.]
fivefingerdeathpunch: Star Platinum about to punch the camera (ora ora ora ora!)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-11 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh hey, look, they didn't even need a fairy to send Jotaro into an unthinking rage! He doesn't even say anything, just all of a sudden there's a wild-looking purple man-shaped spirit lunging out of him, grabbing for the nearest part of Val it can reach. It's this spirit that yells "ORA!" as it reaches out, but its voice is the same as Jotaro's.]
promissum: (Listening)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-11 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[The closest thing is apparently Val's right arm. He seems remarkably unbothered by this entire situation but he does look the spirit up and down.

That's new for humans and demons. He's never seen anything like it.]


Who's this?
fivefingerdeathpunch: Jotaro looking stubbornly irritated (go fuck a tailpipe sir)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-11 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"This" is the Stand that's gonna turn you to dust if you don't explain yourself now.

[...Okay, the impatient demanding didn't work last time he tried it, but that was complicated by family stuff. Jotaro has significantly less reluctance to deliver on his ultimatum when it's an actual vampire in front of him.]
promissum: (Former Tyrant)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-11 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't. [Turn him into dust. He's pretty sure.]

Explain what?

[He doesn't seem like he's in a huge hurry to go anywhere, but it also seems like he's not even the slightest bit uncomfortable.]

I'll give you answers if you give me proper questions.
fivefingerdeathpunch: uncertain and grimacing a bit (I have my doubts!)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-12 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Let's start with what you're planning to do for blood. Or how you're walking around outside in the middle of the day.

[Because, in Jotaro's experience at least, the former involves murder and the latter is supposed to make this entire exchange moot. Star Platinum's grip tightens, threatening violence if he doesn't like the answers he gets.]
promissum: (Declaration)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-12 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Val doesn't even seem to register the feeling of Star Platinum's grip as he swishes his cape in a dramatic declaration. Of fish.]

I eat sardines! They're rich in nutrients like omega 3 fatty acids, potassium and calcium. Since they're lower on the food chain, they have less mercury contamination than other fish. They're essential for staying strong and healthy! You should have some.

As for the other question. Easy. I'm strong.
fivefingerdeathpunch: somewhere under the hat, an eyebrow is raised (quelle que fuck)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-12 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[What. The hell. Part of Jotaro isn't even certain now that this guy is a vampire--he sounds more like one of his mom's friends--but the fact that he remains completely unphased by Star Platinum's strength makes a compelling argument.]

Do you really expect me to believe you get all this strength from eating sardines?

[That would have to be a lot of sardines, for one thing.]
promissum: (Declaration)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-12 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He's very definitely a vampire! Why would anybody dress like this otherwise? But he just looks mildly at Star Platinum, secure in the knowledge he could break out if it came to that.

Though, it's day one. He doesn't want it to come to that.]


Yes! A proud and noble demon would never lie about their powers. Sardines are the ideal food! They can help prevent diseases. A great source of protein, phosphorus and vitamin D.

I have a tin of sardines if you'd like. [Sardines are the best thing that ever came out of human civilization and it would be great of more people appreciated them.

He slips his other hand into a pocket to procure... exactly what he said. There's a tin of canned sardines in his hand.]
fivefingerdeathpunch: a narrowed eye for suspicious looks (hmmm)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-12 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[This has to be a joke or some sort of trick, but it's the stupidest trick Jotaro's ever heard of if so. He finds himself starting to believe the whole bit, right down to the guy's supposed commitment to honesty.]

I had to kill a vampire recently who did nothing but hurt the living. How can I trust that you won't go around doing the same while I'm not looking?

[Maybe it makes him weak, but dammit, he can't find it in him to be truly wary of a dumbass with sardines in his pockets.]
promissum: (Prinny Instructor Valvatorez)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-12 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He's being 100% earnest. Mostly because he's never really seen the appeal of lying. It's much better to be a honest demon who says exactly what they mean and follows through.]

It's not my job. Tormenting humans, making them fear the dark, planting fear inside your hearts... that hasn't been my job for centuries.

Besides, I've already given my word to the leader of the Defense Force. I will not hurt a person here. My word is my contract. And as a noble demon I will not break it. A promise is binding. [His voice is filled with all the conviction in the world.]
fivefingerdeathpunch: a neutral expression at an angle because Jotaro is way too tall (really really ridiculously tall-looking)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-12 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Jotaro acts like a punk. He dresses like a punk, and he sure as hell talks like one, but deep down inside--closer to the surface now than it's been in ages, but still deep down--there beats the heart of a young man who believes this sort of declaration without the slightest hesitation. That's the Jotaro that lets the weird little vampire go, dismissing Star Platinum as if he'd never been there and starting to walk again.]

Come on, then. The sooner we kick these fairies' asses, the sooner we can get out of here.
promissum: (Neutral)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-12 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Once he's let go, he doesn't even rub his arm. For such a skinny stick of a vampire, it really didn't seem to do him any harm. He falls into his walk like this entire exchange never happened.

At home, maybe somebody would be outraged that he went through this, but here it's just Valvatorez. And he's not even upset. It's good that humans these days are worried about each other. There was too little of that at home. In the end, he's learned more about this human's character... and he likes what he sees.]


Very well.

[Out of the corner of his eye he sees something flick past. It's too big to be a butterfly. Where there's one, there's probably more.]

Did you see that?
fivefingerdeathpunch: frozen with shock and/or fear (my earballs!)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-14 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jotaro catches only a glimpse at first, still too weirded out with himself for willingly working with a vampire to give their surroundings his full attention. He readies Star Platinum as soon as he realizes his error, scans the forest, and catches sight of something zipping by, small and monochrome and vaguely humanoid if not for the wings. He could see himself taking it for a Stand on a less bizarre day, but--oh, there's another one hiding in the undergrowth, and he thinks he hears a third--]

I think they found us.
promissum: (Fight scene)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-14 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't close his eyes but he does reach for his sword. A long, heavy thing that doesn't look like it would've fit anywhere on him. These fairies don't seem friendly.]

Good, it means we don't have to find them.

[He raises his sword and rushes forward, easily felling one of the fairies. Some of them seem to have disappeared.]

Invisibility?
fivefingerdeathpunch: Jotaro with his Stand, Star Platinum, visible at his shoulder (so darlin darlin)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-16 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[A sword from nowhere is fucking weird, if not out of line with the things Jotaro's seen, so he decides he can be curious about it later. When there aren't fairies that turn invisible to deal with.

Star Platinum comes out again, jabbing a fist at a fairy that appears within its reach. The hit sends the fairy tumbling backward, but doesn't knock it out of the air, which is... troubling.]


My Stand isn't affecting them like it should. Was there anything about them on that quest thing other than that we have to defeat them?
promissum: (Startled)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-16 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Val seems to be swinging at whatever fairies happen to be closest to him. The ones he hits seem to tumble to the ground, either dead or dazed.

Except he doesn't see the one that touches the back of his neck. Casting its magic on him.

He can't speak? He turns to talk to Jotaro, but the fairy cast something like silence...]
fivefingerdeathpunch: Star Platinum focused on something (anomaly detected!)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-16 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[When no response comes, Jotaro looks over to see what's up and finds Val completely failing to talk. He has zero familiarity with video game-style status effects, but he knows a thing or two about technically weak opponents having nasty tricks up their sleeves, and this seems to fit the bill nicely.]

Good grief.

[He swats at another several fairies with Star Platinum, but once again they aren't as phased as they are by Val's sword--in fact, there's something almost mocking about the way they flutter and roll and disappear. It's enough for him to start suspecting a pattern, so he reaches into his pocket and pulls out some loose change.

And then a fairy appears at his shoulder, because we can't make this too easy.]
promissum: (Fight scene)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-16 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[At the very least, he doesn't need to speak to bat the fairies out of the sky. But without his voice, communication is less than ideal.

He doesn't know a thing about these fairies, but according to his world's rules, things that cast are weak to being beaten down.

Even if he sees the fairy at Jotaro's shoulder, there's nothing he can do to warn him until after it casts its spell.]
fivefingerdeathpunch: Jotaro grimacing and a little scared (if I die hide my fanfic)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-17 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[The fairy smacks Jotaro in the face, then flutters back and disappears again. It doesn't even hurt at that size, but Jotaro suddenly can't seem to think straight, and when he tries to throw one of his coins at the fairy with Star Platinum, it goes straight for Val instead.

Confusion is a hell of a drug.]
promissum: (Listening)

[personal profile] promissum 2018-09-17 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Val doesn't see it while he's busy trying to bat the fairies away. The coin does hit him, but it doesn't seem to do much to him otherwise.

... Did he even notice he was hit by a coin? It's hard to say.

But he does turn back towards Jotaro, now that most of the fairies near him are defeated. He's sure more of them will show up soon enough.

"What happened to you?" His voice is still shot, so he can only gesture at his temporary comrade.]
