Event Ten.





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!

There's a few people about who seem to know more than we do.

[ Still plenty of unanswered questions, though. ]

I might be afraid of what you'd come up with if you get really bored by yourself. [ Women are scary. Sadie looks like she could be pretty fierce in a fight while also insulting someone. ] Italy but I moved to the United States when I was a kid. Now I live in New York. Though I sometimes go out to California to visit my half-sister.

You know me so well already!

[He's definitely not wrong. The ideas Sadie comes up with when she's bored and left to her own devices are legendarily frightening.]

I see. Guess I'll return the favor. I was born in the States, but I moved to London to live with my Gran and Gramps when I was younger. Then I moved out to Brooklyn about a year ago. [For, uh, various reasons.] Which part of New York is your stomping grounds?

[Or uh... was.]

You remind me of some of my friends.

[ Namely Leo but mostly in the sense that leaving Sadie alone will mean something's about to explode.

Nico doesn't ask why she moved to live with her grandparents, in the case that her parents died. Instead he merely nods when she gets to the part about moving to Brooklyn. ]
Long Island. At least I've been living there for last few months. Shortly after I got to the States I spent a few years in Las Vegas.

[ Understatement of the century, Nico. ]

Long Island, huh? A few girls at my school go to a camp up there. Can't say I've ever been myself, though. [She makes a goofy face - what she says next, she doesn't really think is all that serious.] That side of the river's bad luck, or so my uncle says.

[A superstitious guy, that Amos. With good reason, sure, but...]

Of all the places you've lived, which would be best to visit?

[personal profile] umbraportation 2018-09-19 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I've got a camp I go to too. [ Wondering if those girls are actually demigods. ] Oh, it's definitely a lot of bad luck. Count yourself lucky you don't live over there.

[ Too many Greek problems. Even now they're having trouble. ]

China's okay, but pretty crowded. Avoid Las Vegas, especially the Lotus Hotel. If you go in, you might not ever come out. California's not too bad in the less populated areas but it has some pollution issues. I guess Long Island's not so bad. Italy, if you go to Venice it's a nice place to stay a bit.

Huh, really? Here's hoping you don't share a camp with Drew Tanaka!

[...Sadie says this with a laugh, because she's just joking. That would be way too much of a coincidence to be real.]

Yeah, I'll stick to Brooklyn, thanks. My luck's weird enough as it is without bad luck on top of it. [Which is putting it mildly.] Ooh, I've always wanted to go to Venice on holiday. Got a bit too busy for that, though. [And now they're in this weird, colorless town, so... no vacations for them.]

[personal profile] umbraportation 2018-09-19 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I do, actually.

[ She jokes but Nico knows about Drew. Even with Piper taking over as head counselor of her cabin, he tries to avoid Drew when she's at camp. ]

Your life must be pretty interesting if you've got weird luck. [ LITTLE DO THEY KNOW. ] I went back there recently, a bunch of things had changed since I lived there but I suppose that's expected when you're away for years. [ What this doesn't count as a vacation? ]

Oh, that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

[back in new york, drew is probably sneezing up a storm as they talk about her. delicately, of course.]

...you don't know the half of it. [She chuckles.] Huh. I wonder how much London'll change before I get the chance to visit it again. Or... New York, I guess. If we make it back, we'll have to do a proper inspection.

At least I only have to see her a few months a year.

[ Unlike Sadie who has to deal with her all school year long. Drew will live a sneezing fit. ]

Maybe we should exchange stories one day. [ It'd be interesting. ] Yeah, something's bound to be different when we get back to New York. Though hopefully we're not stuck here for so long we miss all the fun.

Yeah, lucky you. The one I feel seriously bad for is Lacey - she goes to the same school and the same camp as her. I guess you know her too, then? Small world.

[She's just rambling, at this point.]

A story swap couldn't hurt. 'Course, we'll have lots of new stories to tell the others when we get back, too.

They share a cabin at camp. Though I haven't really spent much time around either of them.

[ Lucky him. By far Nico's favorite person in the Aphrodite cabin is Piper but she's also the one he knows best.

Nico points to one of the bridges found in the Bluo district. ]
Would anyone believe us if we say we got kidnapped by some well and ended up in a movie caught between being black and white and color?

[ Mortals definitely wouldn't. ]
