Event Ten.

[awashmods]

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!

[Get used to that weirdness, Jion. There's more of that coming.]

They contain Vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, omega-3 fatty acids as well as calcium. They're one of the world's healthiest foods! If I eat them raw I get all those nutrients and their blood! They are the perfect food.

I mean, you're not wrong, sardines are fine, but I think I'd still prefer them cooked ...

[ An awkward laugh as he gives that half-assed answer. And then Jion pauses, seeming to think over something. ]

-- hey, uh, Mr. Valvatorez. So do you not drink human blood any more, then? If you just eat sardines? Do they even have sardines here?

[promissum]

As long as you're eating them, Medic. There are so many people that dismiss them outright.

[He seems pleased that Jion likes them at all.]

I don't. I made a promise and as a proud and noble demon, I am bound to keep it. [Only to himself. He's the only person in the world keeping him to it. Especially here in this new, weirdly colorless, world.]

[organfarm]

Oh.

[ Jion looks just a little disappointed that Valvatorez doesn't drink blood any more. But only briefly before he wipes the look off his face to give a nod. ]

That's cool, though! That you have principles like that. I can really respect that. [ Pause. ] Are you actually a noble? Am I supposed to be referring to you, like ... sir? Your honor?

[promissum]

[ Val, as it so happens, completely misses the disappointment. They're talking about principles now and that's much more important. ]

My steward calls me his lord, but no one else is bound to it. Nobility is simply a quality of having high ideals. Like the old human concept of knights.

[organfarm]

[ That's ... an interesting concept. Demons having their own system of chivalry like knights. Jion's alright with dropping the disappointment, because this is perfectly interesting in its own right. ]

So then is that, like, a thing? Do a lot of demons not drink blood? Or is that just you? Do you fight with the ones who do drink blood?

[promissum]

Most demons do not drink human blood. Only my kind needs it.

[Not all demons are vampires, after all.

He's quiet for a moment before shaking his head.]

I haven't had fights with any other vampires. Most were against demons who were slacking in their duties. They were distracted with power grabs and status instead of properly scaring humans.
