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!

Not exactly, though DNA can be used to check for certain diseases and other disorders. But it's more like... well, do you know about fingerprint matching?

[True, it wasn't as accurate as hoped before computers became involved, and even then, two humans can have such similar fingerprints its possible to get false positives. But as a comparison, it's usually well known enough from stories that she might understand it.

If not, well... he'll figure something out.]

[ She nods ]

A bit, but I'd guess it's probably come a long way since 1912... [ Or so she would hope, at least. Without really thinking about it, she looks to her own hands idly, then back to Connor. ]

They're unique, I know that.

Mostly, yes. [Although they could still be similar enough to trick a computer for a long time.] DNA is similar to that. We match it based on its components. Everyone's DNA is unique, so provided the DNA hasn't be tampered with, we can get a fairly accurate match. It's much like how detectives used to match unique fingerprints together.
