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!

A pleasure, Mr. Farrow.

[ It's said quite kindly, and Sebastian doesn't comment on Ryan's confessed isolation, though that may very well be because of what he says next. There's no outward reaction, but inwardly, he very sharply picks up on that offhanded comment.

"Anything except you."

Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise, since Ryan had claimed to be able to sense things that were abnormal, and Sebastian would without a doubt fall into that category. However, considering it hadn't been mentioned at the start and that Ryan seemed quite genial, he'd simply assumed that it didn't quite extend to him. Erronously, it might seem. ]

Pardon... [ His tone is unchanged, ever polite and perfect ] Perhaps I misheard, but... You sense something from me?

[averagemedium]

I do, yeah.

[Every bit as casual as the previous comment, as if he's commenting on something as trivial as the weather rather than Sebastian's presence.]

It doesn't tell me exactly what you are, I haven't felt anyone like you before, but... well, it didn't really seem like the time to ask? I didn't want to sidetrack us right off the bat...

[ The very light tension that had been building up relaxes more quickly than Sebastian would have expected. Though exceedingly rare, he has encountered people that can identify exactly what he is before. However, it's why he was tense. People don't tend to take well to being in the company of a demon. Thankfully, it seems that Ryan's sense isn't quite that specific, so it's to his advantage, relatively speaking. ]

Hm. I cannot disagree that it would definitely be a distraction... [ He gives him a light, friendly, and almost apologetic smile ] But you seem to take that well. Shall I take that to mean you do not mind?

[averagemedium]

Of course not.

[His smile is still just as friendly, something he hopes is at least somewhat reassuring.]

Honestly, I kind of prefer it? I usually get along better with people I can sense than people I can't, it can all be kind of difficult to explain to people who're too normal.
