Event Ten.
 | |
Pushed his sister in a well. Mother said, while drawing water, "My, it's hard to raise a daughter." | |
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! | |
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.

The question actually makes him pause. ] It did before I got here. Not sure if it does now.
[ Without prompting, unfolding it onto the floor and as soon as he does a flickering hologram appeared on the surface of the parchment paper. It's the image of a teenage boy with dark wispy hair, mischievious grin and short statue - though the hologram is only three inches tall so it might be hard to tell if one didn't know Leo Valdez. Then he starts talking.
“Hey, guys!” Leo spread his arms for a hug. “Sorry to leave you like that. Bad news: I died. Good news: I got better! I had to go rescue Calypso. We’re both fine now. We’re taking Festus to—” The image guttered like a flame in a strong breeze, disrupting Leo’s voice. “Back as soon as—” Static. “Cook tacos when—” More static. “¡Vaya con queso! Love ya!” The image winked out.
That's it. That's the whole message. Even now Nico's scowling a little at the blank scroll. ] I had this for almost six months before he turned back up at Camp. And when he did get back, I had everyone line up so they could hit him.
no subject
When the scroll’s hologram is finished, when Nico is finished, one of the most surprising things ever happens. If not for all the rest of the weird shit that goes on in this town’s little world, it may have been one of the most surprising things to happen to date for sure.
Sasuke laughs.
It’s not loud or long, but it is wholly amused and very genuine, and it echoes through the room out into the hall. The corner of his eye crinkles, and his mouth, though not open wide, smiles with the motion. He doesn't try to hide it or excuse it, and he doesn’t bring any attention to the fact it happen. It just does.]
And everyone hit him?
[The story is... familiar in its essence. It reminds him very much of his school days, of Team 7 and his peers, of the Uzumakis. Even the newest one, his pupil. Boruto. Thanks for the laugh, Nico. He needed it.]
no subject
Well, it's nice. Both in the sense that the guy is amused and that he can still laugh like that even after whatever his life must have thrown at him. Gives Nico hope for his own future.
He folds it back up carefully, not wanting to rip it even if technically the scroll isn't needed now that Nico's been able to hit Leo. ]
Or kicked or did whatever they felt was proper punishment. Then told Leo that he could expect the same treatment down at our ally's camp too. Everyone everywhere who knows him wants to hit him for what he did.
[ Does it matter that Leo saved the whole world by sacrificing himself along with their enemy? Nope. His friends and allies all wanted their turn. ]
no subject
It sounds as if you all are fighting the battle we had to fight, too. One we never had a hand in at all. One passed down to us from the very beginning.
It's good you have friends.
People you can rely on, even when they decide to be stupid. [His voice is much softer than the surprised laugh from before. It sounds strangely experienced, that he's speaking from somewhere personal.] Even the ones you think you hate.
Don't ever take them for granted.
no subject
Basically. Great-grandma decided she didn't like any of her grandkids or great-grandkids and decided she wanted to get rid of them all. She was going to wipe the earth clean and start over with just her kids and chosen few. Considering she is the earth - it would have been easy for her to do.
[ If this were Nico of six months ago, he would believe himself to not have any friends at all. Friending was hard for him. Still is. ]
I'm trying not to. I'm not very good at it though - the whole friend thing.
no subject
[He won’t say he’s one of the others that has a hard time making friends. He always did. Itms probably obvious just how he carries himself, how he acts. It takes someone like Naruto to be his friend. Mostly.
Turning, he moves around Nico on the floor and stops on the other side by the door. He glances back down.]
Are you hungry?
no subject
For now, he doesn't say anything in response and just lets the words soak in.
Then the ninja is moving and asking another question. A relatively simple one in comparison to the others and right now he's glad his appetite came back in full-force several months ago. ]
I could eat.
no subject
[Figuring Nico would be as safe in the room as anywhere else in this weird place, Sasuke leaves. He actually walks again through the house, from the room to the front door. It opens, then it shuts.
The garden is close enough for him to get to in several seconds with how fast he is, disappearing and reappearing here and there in different places along the way. Not teleporting. Almost like hopping. If Nico happens to get up and look out the window, this he can see happen unobscured.
In the garden he has a look around. The plants are familiar, and he’s glad. He only takes enough for the two of them, no leftovers. One onion, maybe three mushrooms, two potatoes. An apple they can split. He’s gone maybe ten minutes. Pretty fast. Very ninja.
Nico can hear him return again through the door, hear him in the kitchen moving around. If he gets curious enough to come look.]
no subject
Nico doesn't actually move from his spot on the floor of Sasuke's room but instead hooks his laptop up to the socket and spends those few minutes scrolling through the top posts. Though the one that catches his attention the most is the mysterious quest poster. That and that something has happened recently.
When the front door does open again, he hesitates to leave the room in case it's actually Sasuke's roommate coming back. Only when the noises start in the kitchen does he close the laptop and get to his feet. Pulling off his jacket and placing it on top of the computer. Just in case, he doesn't leave his sword behind before making his way to where the noises are.
For someone who wasn't trained as a ninja, Nico actually moves through the house with the stealth of one without even trying. Hesitating just a moment at the entrance to the kitchen to confirm that it is indeed Sasuke then entering the room fully. ]
Can I help? [ He eyes the collection of foods brought back. Looks like they'll be having a lot of vegetables.
Without the big bulky jacket on, Nico looks skinnier and smaller but yet fairly muscular for a teen. Part of some vicious looking scars may be peeking out from under the sleeves of his t-shirt that are clearly bigger than what is visible. ]
