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!

[ She feels a little better seeing how he deflates, if only because suddenly having a stranger at your door is a little intimidating, but that's quite short-lived. Elizabeth looks at the letter, then back up to him with a little "oh" of surprise once he explains. ]

Really? Here?

[ She takes the letter gingerly to inspect it, though the more she thinks about it, maybe it isn't that surprising. Ignis had moved out to go live with his friends, and that had left her here. She had no complaints about that either way, but she sort of hadn't expected the town to fill the vacancy. Is that how it works...? ]

Um— [ Elizabeth offers the letter back to him in case he wants to keep it, but she steps aside to let him enter ] Sorry. I didn't really expect anyone else to come live here, to be honest. But come in?
fivefingerdeathpunch: chin on fist and just done with everything (so ANYWAY me and Janice were like)

[She doesn't seem like the loud type, which is a mercy on a day that also involves surprise fairy-hunting vampires and everything else going on in this thread. Jotaro crosses the threshold and immediately moves over so he doesn't block the door while he toes his shoes off.]

I guess it means whoever brought us here has the sense to recognize there's safety in numbers. Or they don't want their targets scattering.

[Is that a little gloomy for lunchtime? Did he mention the vampires?]

[ The fact that he takes his shoes off is definitely noticed, largely because hers are still on. Though she's not at all judgemental. If anything, she's wondering if maybe it's more proper to be taking hers off...? Though, no. Definitely not to begin with, considering how many repairs she had to make to this house when she first got here. ]

I'm Elizabeth, by the way.

[ Since she hadn't introduced herself in turn, she quickly adds that, but his rather gloomy sentiment makes her a bit more thoughtful, though she ends up shaking her head. ]

...Maybe? I think it's more the first than the second, personally.
fivefingerdeathpunch: eyes cast downward (cleavage. cleavage everywhere.)

[It feels like it would be mean to disagree with her optimistic assessment of their situation, so Jotaro focuses on making nice with his new roommate as he walks a little further into the house to see where everything is.]

That was my great-grandmother's name. She had to change it when she went on the run from the British government, though.

[Yeah, he's a pro at this socializing thing.]

I- What?

[ Her expression of confusion is unsurprisingly completely genuine, since of ways to respond to her name, that, uh. Is not the one she was expecting. Her eyelashes flutter a little bit as if blinking would clear up the confusion, but she just ends up shaking her head before asking what comes to mind first. ]

...Why did she have to run?
fivefingerdeathpunch: a neutral expression at an angle because Jotaro is way too tall (really really ridiculously tall-looking)

There was--

[And then he actually has the good sense to cut himself off, because even in a weird gray town with sirens and fairies it's probably best to work up to talking about zombies and vampires with someone who seems to be on the normal end of people he's met today.]

--some disagreement about how her husband died, during World War I. It got messy.

[Nailed it! And now he's just gonna walk further into the house, because moving will definitely fix talking about his weird-ass family.]

[ He frowns deepens, but it also smooths itself out. She seems less troubled by the information, and accepts the explanation, but the mention of the war troubles her for a different reason. It's not exactly difficult to know that means he's from the future, and there's some war, but the title of it...

Elizabeth puts her hands on her hips lightly, then shrugs. ]


It hasn't happened for me, um, probably yet. In case you haven't heard, people come from all kinds of times and places here. It was 1912 where I'm from.
fivefingerdeathpunch: Jotaro paying attention (tell me your Columbo fan theories)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-16 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He probably hasn't heard it specifically yet, but he had his suspicions after meeting Giorno and this lends them weight, and he turns to look at her again.]

It's still a few years ahead of you, if you make it back there. [Which is probably not good to tell her, pop culture time travel theories being what they are, but fuck it.] I'm from 1988, so it's ancient history. You probably don't wanna talk about wars, though, and I don't remember enough of what we learned about it to give you the right info.

[ Just a few years? She's surprised to hear that, but then again, as she remembers that awful museum in Columbia, maybe she shouldn't be. War is... much more common than she had really recognized. But still, a world war? She's curious what could lead to something with that title, and she makes a note to try and figure it out when she returns, but it also occurs to her quickly that she shouldn't have to. She's not going back to 1912 if she has anything to say about it.

But like wars, that's a little too heavy of a topic for a stranger. ]


That's fine. It's not exactly important here anyways. You just get used to people from all kinds of places and times.

[ She shrugs, looks around, then not being sure how to continue the conversation, just offers a bit awkwardly: ]

I... was making lunch when you showed up. It's not great, but it's filling. Do you want some?
fivefingerdeathpunch: just a little smile ('cause I eats a lot of vegetables)

[personal profile] fivefingerdeathpunch 2018-09-21 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, this place is gonna be wild. Food is a good distraction, though--teenage boys eat a lot, big teenage boys eat even more, and Jotaro hasn't eaten since before he arrived, so now that he remembers to think about it he feels like he's starving.]

Lunch sounds good.

[And now they are roomies.]

[ She smiles a little, since serious conversation aside, he's, uh. Kind of intimidating. Even though she'd offered, she wasn't really sure he was going to accept, so it helps her relax a little. ]

It's a simple soup, and it might not taste like what you expect, by the way...

[ She starts to explain as she beckons for him to follow her towards the kitchen ]

There's food here, so we're not starving, but anything that doesn't have color, well... It tastes like nothing.
