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!

[Without interruption, Sasuke listens to Kaoru's story and... feels a bit worse for it. Not on Kaoru's part. Not even on the story's part. The fact it's familiar, the fact he can actually step back and say, "Yeah, that's me," is what sucks the most.

But it's needed.

His absence wasn't something he hadn't seen, hadn't understood. His absence was something he put on the back burner. Sarada has Sakura, her mother, a fine woman if anything, and that was enough... he thought.]

You're right. [In brief meetings, he's told Sakura as much--as little as it may be for someone like him. Sakura probably understands his actions better than his words by now. Sarada, not so much.] I regret I didn't have the opportunity to say so before ending up here.

Thank you. My name is Sasuke Uchiha, in case you meet someone looking for me.

Then make sure to tell her when you get back.

[The past can be regrettable, but it was the future that was important.]

I'm Kaoru Akashi! It's nice to meet you, Uchiha-san. So, is it okay for me to give out your name and location to anyone asking? Or is there anyone I should lie to about where you are? Like a stalker or something.

[Oh no, he gets the Mr. dropped on him. Old. HE'S OLD. This settles it.]

Hello, Kaoru. [If he had been younger, the story would be different. People were searching for him, friend and foe. He was hunting and hunted. He had enemies.

But now isn't the same; he's powerful, he's more wise and less risky. If someone comes looking for him in the wrong ways, he'll know how to handle them.] No. You can tell whoever is asking.

Do you think I have a stalker?
