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!

[The answer to that is definitely a yes.

It's also a little bird noise that isn't quite a caw, and a preening of her feathers as she settles down. :) ]

[SADIE!!!! Give him a moment to think this over, closing his eyes to try and be patient before a hand reaches up to poke at the bird's beak.

...where has he seen a sassy, small bird of prey before...?]


Yeah, okay. Just keep your talons to yourself, alright? [And he begins to walk.] Are your feathers still wet?

[Where indeed!

To answer him, she ruffles her feathers again. A few droplets of water probably land on his head and drip down to his face.]

[There's a sputter and his hand flies up to swat at the water and the bird a little.]

Cut it out! [But it takes him a few minutes to swipe the water away since he wasn't focused and thereby got wet.] Man, it's almost like you--

[...hold on.] Know me.

[the bird makes the most sarcastic-sounding caaaaaaw noise it is capable of mustering.]

[A pause as he thinks.] Sadie?

[A hand comes up to poke the bird in the head again.]

[Bingo! At the sound of her name, Sadie alights from his head, lands on the ground, and then turns back into a girl right in front of him.]

Took you a little longer to figure that out than I expected, but that wasn't bad!
hydrokinetics: (I'm in the details with the devil so)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-09-16 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Why Sadie didn't do that in the first place, Percy doesn't know, but he gives her an exasperated grin anyway.]

Yeah, well, it's not every day I deal with shapeshifters. Frank aside. [The exasperation melts a little though because Sadie's still at least a friend.] Plus it's not like we've seen you guys recently either.

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-16 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Frank who? Sadie knows there are plenty of people at Percy's camp, so she doesn't expect to recognize all of the names, but hey! Now she knows there's at least one Greek dude who can change shape.

Knowledge is power, and all. (Oh, gods, will she become like Carter if she keeps saying things like that?)]


Don't they teach you to expect the unexpected at that camp of yours, Percy?
hydrokinetics: (Find something at the heart of it)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-09-18 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Haha wait until he tells her that Frank's Roman. That'll really blow her mind.]

Actually, I'm pretty sure the main thing they teach us is how to get really good at dodging deadly blows. [A joke, but also that's what Percy spends a lot of his time doing.] Expecting the unexpected doesn't do any good when the unexpected keeps getting weirder and weirder.
goldenwords: (004)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-18 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[I mean. Yeah, probably. Wait til she finds out about the Norse pantheon, too. She's gonna lose it and wonder why the heck Carter isn't around to deal with it.]

You can say that again. I thought finding out my mum and dad were magicians was going to be the weirdest thing that ever happened to me, and now look where they are. [Sadie huffs.] Speaking of, I didn't see you in that well.
hydrokinetics: ('Cause I'm still breathing on my own)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-09-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[The Kanes also lead a very strange life that Percy doesn't always understand, but there's solidarity in knowing they can both just sigh loudly and accept it. But he nods because...yeah.]

You're about four months behind. [Surprise.]

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-18 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What.

[that's it, that's the tag.]
hydrokinetics: (Default)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-09-18 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I showed up about four months ago. Give or take a few weeks.
goldenwords: (009)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-18 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure we dealt with Setne and all that just a matter of weeks ago. Definitely not four months.

[Suddenly, that well seems a lot more threatening than it did before. She glances at it - or rather, glares.]

Don't tell me some god is messing around with us again.
hydrokinetics: (Are you scared to death to live?)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-09-19 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been a while since we've seen you and Carter. [Throwing that out there at least.] It was January last I remember and then I showed up in the well. If it is a god, it's nobody I've been able to talk to or get information about.
goldenwords: (007)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-19 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh... what a pain.

[Maybe the well is a rogue god!! ...wouldn't be the first time something like that has turned out to be sentient. Probably won't be the last.]

At least we're both here. It's better than being stuck here alone.
hydrokinetics: (The monster that you see)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-09-20 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Tell me about it. [To both of those things.] And who knows? Other people might show up again in another couple of months. That seems to happen.

[...for now, he chooses not to tell her about Annabeth being here and disappearing. That doesn't seem productive.]
goldenwords: (Default)

[personal profile] goldenwords 2018-09-20 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

[A beat.]

I'm not very good at waiting. You're not either, I'd wager.
hydrokinetics: (Some people have it other people don't)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-09-21 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely not. [There's a grin. This is why he and Sadie are similar.] But I've been working on some leads here and checking things out in the ocean. We're getting some answers but if we keep exploring we might get more.
