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!

Sort of.

[Like video games, he means, but he figures that's obvious. The defense force, though? Obviously he can help with that.]

Sure. There was a town meeting way back, shortly after we arrived, and people decided that they wanted a force organized whose goal was to keep the people in this town safe from the dangers that kept coming. Patrols, things like that. I was recommended, and so I volunteered to start it up.

Friendship and camaraderie is a large part of this place, so I encourage that most of all. On top of that, I try to help pair up people who can learn from one another. I used to do large groups, one for each district, but the group itself is too large for that now, so I split everyone off into smaller squads. We'll see how that goes.

We meet every couple of months to talk about things in the town and where to go from there, changes we should make with the force, and so on.

[ Despite his generally flighty demeanor, Jion focuses and listens properly when Guren's talking about the defense force -- because this feels important, it feels like his work usually did back home, and he feels like he needs to concentrate.

Patrols, cooperation, reports and meetings. It all sounds familiar, and he stands up straighter as Guren finishes. ]

Um, I'd like to help out with the defense force, then. [ Pause. ] Sir.

[ He almost immediately deflates a little bit, though. ]

Although to be honest, I'm, uh ... I'm not the best at fighting. But I can take a ton of hits, and I'm kinda used to that kinda work. Going into unfamiliar territory. So if it'd be useful, I'd like to help.

It's not a problem if you aren't a frontlines type of guy. I can put you onto a squad... if you don't mind waiting a little bit for it.

[He puts thought into these, so he wants to make sure it's a good fit.]

Either way, we could use all the help we can get. Thank you. My hex code is on the community board, so you can contact me once you find your laptop, and I'll give you your team.
