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!

[ Contrary to what he may think, Lottie would love to indulge in his curiosity. Mostly because his fawning kind of makes her feel important, and gets her to focus on something else other than the way her feet ache from trotting around in her heels all day. ]

Yup! I have my own apartment and everything, it's really great. [ Lies. She hates LA as much as she likes living there. It's always smelly, there's too much traffic, too dirty, and hard to navigate. But it's not like he... has to know that. Why destroy the image, right? ] It's completely different from a lot of places you'll go to! Especially this one.. Obviously, this one.

[ She takes out her phone from the waistband of her skirt, wiping off the screen before putting in her password. Her screensaver and wallpaper? Both pictures of herself. ]

I got pics, if you want to see?

[ He nods along enthusiastically to everything Lottie says, because it sounds about right. After all, everything he's seen of LA in movies makes it seem like a pretty special place, and it's definitely a far cry from anywhere he's had to live.

So of course he perks up at her offer. ]

Yeah, if you have them!

[ He's clearly the type to wear his heart on his sleeve, eagerly stepping a little closer in hopes of getting a better look. (He notices her screensaver, of course, but says nothing about it just yet.) ]

If you're in LA are you an actor? Or is it bad to actually ask that to people who live there, I know it's kinda just a stereotype.

[ Oh, she definitely has them. It's a shame she can't access her website directly, there's a lot more content on there than her gallery. She swipes through her folders to get to the good stuff - while it isn't labelled where in LA it is, it's a folder with photos set in that location.

She hands the phone over to him. ]

You can swipe through these ones. [ Some include Lottie posing, looking far more put together and perfect than she does now, and some don't. Which makes sense why he asks his question - her ego inflates that much more. ]

It isn't, don't worry.. [ He actually isn't that wrong - a lot of people tend to move to LA for that reason. But hers is.. oddly specific. ] I moved to LA to become a fashion blogger. [ She doesn't think she could really act all that well, anyway. But she is good at standing and looking pretty! ] Now, I have my own line of clothes, following, and I model.

[ He handles her phone carefully -- something tells him Lottie really wouldn't take it well if he dropped it -- and flicks through the photos with open fascination. The shots of her are nice, of course, but he's admittedly more fascinated by the scenery. It's really different from any city he's been in. ]

Fashion blogger?

[ There's a vague note of recognition, but he doesn't really get the magnitude of what 'fashion blogger' means until she lists off her accomplishments in more detail. ]

-- oh! Man, that's really cool! I guess it makes sense though, you look like you really know your clothes, and you're really pretty!

[ It's not flirting or anything. Just an honest observation. ]

[oomfies]

[ She definitely wouldn't. In all honestly she would probably go some variation of ballistic if he dropped it, so it's nice to see someone treat her phone as tenderly as she does. Lottie even looks a little smug, livelier than before, at his blatant praise.

It feels nice to be appreciated by the public, even if the public had no idea who you were two minutes ago. Gotta look at the bright side! ]

..Oh, thanks! Gotta stay ahead of the trends, y'know.

[ And she can tell, in an odd way, he means that compliment genuinely. Maybe it's because she doesn't feel uncomfortable or slightly threatened, like the usual response she'd feel from a man.. A good sign? ]

Did you not have good wifi where you were stationed?
