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!

[ They startle back a few steps, barely holding back at gasping aloud. There's a few beats of awkward silence after she speaks, Cairngorm still holding their saw at the ready despite having jolted back out of swinging distance. That has to be in the top 15 freakiest things they've seen since moving here. ]

You— [ They let down their saw a fraction of an angle, staring at her with an expression that's equal parts horror and confusion. ] What are you supposed to be.

[ Says the shiny crystal-fae person, but also, they're unsure if she's supposed to be something the forest like they'd assumed, or a new arrival. ]

I’m a vampire. What are you supposed to be?

[ she looks down at the saw in their hands, and she knows that she is absolutely, without a doubt, not going to let them get anywhere near her with that thing. it’s better for them, honestly, that they jumped back on their own. ]

Some kind of living statue?

[ Oh, they'll relax a little more as soon as she says the word 'vampire'. At least they're familiar with the word, even if they were completely unaware they could shapeshift into flying animals. ]

My kind are called gems. We're living crystals, not statues... [ They let down their blade, letting the other end of it sit in the dirt near their feet— though they don't take their steady grip from the handle. ] I didn't know you were a vampire. None of the ones I've seen can do... whatever it is you just did.

[ So, they're not going to apologize for mistaking her for some beast. As far as they're concerned, they were well within their right to go on the offensive. ]

[ living crystals, living statue, what’s the difference?

it’s not like sierra is going to go out of her way to deny cairngorm the chance to call themselves what they want, though. whether they’re a statue or a nice decoration for jewelry doesn’t bother her. mostly. ]


I can change into a bat. Is it that strange?

[ can they really judge when they’re a walking talking rock, she means. ]

[ She seems to have a very up-front personality, which they can respect... after considering it for a second, they just sigh, shaking their head a little. ]

Well, no. I guess not. I just didn't expect it is all.

[ They're taking down a mental note that whatever that creature she turned into is called a "bat" though. So at least they learned something useful. ]

I haven't seen a bat before, so I assumed you were a monster... from that vile forest. [ A vague point to the woods around them. ] But you came from that well, instead, didn't you?

[ who hasn’t seen a bat before?

status, she supposes, even if they just said they were more of a crystal substance than a sculpture. still, how much time would a rock like this spend among bats? ]


I came from a place called North Window, but I suppose I arrived through the well. You’re a resident of this place, then?

Unfortunately. [ A short, curt sigh. ] I'm not from here if that's what you're asking.

[ Though their monochromatic color palette can be misleading. ]

Like you, I woke up here in that well. No one is truly "from" here, at least to our knowledge. It was empty when the first group got here.
