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!

[ She appreciates that he didn't just buck her off like a wild horse... cat...

Especially because she's still getting her bearings, going from inside the well to inside the well on a giant cat, to tightening her grip as he ricochets off the inside of the well and out of it. When he rolls his shoulders back, she releases her grip on his fur and slides unceremoniously off.

... And then bows? Thank you??? ]

[purrsuasively]

[An unconventional exit to be sure, but it really was the easiest way for him to get them both out of the well. As for that bow, though... hmm. He regards her for a moment, tail swishing, before abruptly turning away. There's another very bright flash of light, and then—oh, hey. He's suddenly normal-sized once more, and he promptly trots a bit closer to her.]

You are welcome. [He says this somewhat stiffly, because he's not used to humans thanking him for anything? Wild. And this would be totally fine if he didn't immediately follow it up with:] When I see you again, you may repay me by finding something for me to eat. A fish is preferred, but I will never say no to a songbird.

[Is he serious? Is he joking? Hard to tell! But this is his (rude) way of saying that while he isn't nice enough to invite her along with him, he'll probably check in on her when she's settled the heck in. He has a feeling... that she'll be here for a while. Him, too.]

For the time being, you should remain near the well and look for a familiar face... or a particularly kind one? I suppose any helpful person shall do.

[ Honestly, she's not sure she's going to find anyone particularly familiar, but it can't be helped. She wants to find her family. Or Tohru. And to do that, she'll have to look.

... And apparently figure out where she's going to find a fish for him. But she nods once, obediently.

Mogget may never find a child this well-behaved ever again. ]
