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!

...It's a little cliche. But, how did you get injured?

[Somehow, even though it's a forward question about a topic that she imagines might be painful for him to discuss, there's a light tone of concern in it as well.

As for his question, she just gives a small shrug.]


I'm a classical pianist. I've been doing it since I can remember.

[ It's obvious that he doesn't mind, even if he doesn't go into the topic in too much detail. With his shoulderblades to the wall, he sticks out one leg as punctuation. ]

That's also another cliche, sorry. I hurt my leg during a game, so I had to give up on going pro.

[ A bittersweet memory, but one that he's thankful for. Again, he waves it away. ]

Classical piano, though! Like Mozart and Liszt? That's amazing, I wonder if we can find you a piano around here...

Why are you apologizing for getting hurt in a cliche way...? [...] Either way, you can still dance and stuff? I mean, I guess that's way different from soccer, but...

[She doesn't end the sentence with 'that's good', but the sentiment is implied in her tone. There's a nod at his next words.]

Yeah, exactly like that. But - I kind of doubt it? This doesn't seem like the kind of place that would have a piano. Anyways, it's not a big deal if there's not.
rerevale: (6.)

[ Oh, he thinks. She's kind!

To her first question, he responds by lifting himself up off of the wall and doing a surprisingly agile spin on his heels. Ta-da.
]

Dancing isn't a contact sport, so I'm fine. If we ever have to really run somewhere, I can even carry you on my back and sprint!

[ A thumbs-up, even if he gentles a bit at the rest of her words. ]

But, really? You're not gonna miss making music?

Um, you really don't have to do that. Actually, let me put it another way, never do that.

[Just laying the ground rules for any possible emergency that requires sprinting, as one does. She looks towards the ground, and while she's not quite nonchalant, she's clearly trying to play off his concern.]

I'm pretty sure there are way more important things to be thinking about right now, you know? It's not a big deal, I'll live.
rerevale: (9.)

[ "Never do that", she says, while Momo files Natalie under "people to help in event of a fire." He's pushy like that; he knows he's selfish, when push comes to shove.

So he doesn't respond to that first bit (he's cheating, he knows), and instead, taps a forefinger against his chin. Contemplative.
]

Well, that's true— we have to figure out what to do here, and how to survive! That's definitely important.

But it would be pretty terrible if the only thing we were concerned about was how to live day by day, you know? ...I guess that's a pretty lackadaisical thing to say, but I believe it.

[There's a moment of frustration on her face, but it's directed at the idea more than at him. She doesn't like the way that notion seems distasteful, the sharp, ingrained swell of shame at the concept of putting her own needs or interests front and center like that.

Of course, that emotion remains all the same, and it makes her shake her head, more forceful than it needs to be. There's a tension in her voice that wasn't present a moment ago.]


That's not... [A sigh.] You don't have to say stuff like that, okay? I said I was fine, so I'm fine. I'd know better than you what would be terrible for me.
rerevale: (6.)

[ Momo plays dumb, but he can sense the shift in her posture, the piano-wire tension that cuts through the room at his insistence. So he backs off, smile still omnipresent. ]

—Okay. As long as you take care of yourself! I'll be keeping an eye on you.

[ Hands to his hips, leaning forward in mock-sternness. He doesn't play that role very well, so he breaks into a light half-chuckle. ]

But if I ever do find a piano around here, I'm gonna make you do a duet with me!

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-09-16 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[A pause, and then, finally:]

You don't have to do that. I can take care of myself.

[It's said more gently than her last words, but there's still a bluntness to it. Regardless, she shakes her head.]

Where exactly do you think you're going to find one?
rerevale: (11.)

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-17 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He lets that first part sit, for later; again, he's too obstinate to say that he won't care, because that would be a lie.

The rest, though???
]

Well, I think I spotted a church somewhere in the town... and maybe a native here in the past had one in their house? I mean...

...Piano keys are black and white, so they'd fit right in with the mood of this place!

[ momo no ]

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-09-17 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinks, and it's clear from her expression that she didn't know about the church. Even so, she looks tentative, as though she doesn't want to raise her hopes just yet. She shakes her head.]

I guess it can't hurt to check, but... It's seriously not a big deal if there's nothing there. Okay?
rerevale: (1.)

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-18 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ A quick salute, followed up with a wink. ]

Okay, got it. We can think of it as just another sidequest, so no pressure!

—Did you hear about the quests, by the way?
robitussin: (pic#12583045)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-09-19 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I did. They sound weird.

[That's the mildest way to explain her feelings on them, and those will certainly intensify once she's able to experience one firsthand. Still, she gives a small shrug, trying to appear unbothered.]

Are you thinking of trying them out?
rerevale: (10.)

[personal profile] rerevale 2018-09-21 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Weird is definitely an understatement... He's pretty sure things are only gonna get weirder, but better to!! Stay positive!!

So:
] Yeah, dome of them! The ones that don't sound too dangerous, at least.

[ He laughs, and this time he sounds a little sheepish. ]

I'm not one of those people who can use magic or anything, so I gotta start small!
