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!

[It seems a bit rude, but Percy hadn't asked for his name yet, so he doesn't offer it in return. He watches Percy move across the roof just to make sure. He hasn't run into any problems himself, but he's also partially cheating.

Using chakra to run on water and on ceilings, why not use it on rickety building roofs to keep his weight off? Same thing.] I was.

Were you with the first people to arrive here or the second?

[hydrokinetics]

[He'll maybe remember to ask later but right now it doesn't seem too important. He's also a little on guard to make sure he's not about to suddenly get pushed off the roof or tricked, but that happens when a majority of adults you know are monsters trying to kill you.]

I was with the second group. It's been a couple of months now but I can't say I'm surprised you guys showed up, too.

A reoccurrence. [It isn't a question. More of like a sigh without a sigh. Sasuke follows after Percy careful, though not in any hurry. His attention is divided out across the town.] Did you come with others from your world?

[hydrokinetics]

[A nod, though Sasuke's free to interpret it as "yes it's a reoccurrence" and "yes I came with someone else." Give him time to step across the roof to get a look at the town.]

Yeah, but she disappeared already. [Which is stupid and he's mad but whatever.] But someone else I know turned up this time so maybe that's just a reoccurrence, too. It's been a while since I've seen her but the town probably doesn't care.

[Yeah guess who doesn't know Nico's around at the time of this thread...] I'm gonna guess you're alone...?

[ninjanature]

[It’s faint, but Sasuke’s face is sympathetic for a moment or two even if Percy misses it. Disappeared. Someone else had talked about those who come and go.

RIP that Nico never explicitly said “Percy Jackson” when talking about Percy, or Sasuke would make the connection.]

I am. [He doesn’t sound bothered by this, but maybe it’s how he usually sounds about everything.] Some say they arrived alone, some say they arrived with others. Some have others come later.

If it isn’t a dimensional anomaly, if it’s the village... then perhaps there is a reason behind the choosing. Try not to be too concerned with how we got here. It happened.

Let’s focus on how to get back.

[hydrokinetics]

[It's fine, Percy's literally going to go a whole week before realizing Nico's here because that's just how his life is. Idiot. He misses the expression but it's something he constantly thinks about. There's a noise of acknowledgement though.]

That's all true. I showed up with Annabeth, but a different girl I know showed up this time. Nobody's sure why. You'd think there'd be a reason for choosing, but. [He shakes his head.]

Believe me, I'm working on it. Figuring out a way back or at least finding out where people go from here. That's all I want to know right now.
