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!

[Totalitarian... sleep schedules?

Connor hasn't had much experience with teenage humans, but he's starting to wonder if they're all a bit like this.]

Regardless, it's still good to keep a regular sleep schedule. Your brain executes a lot of necessary functions while you sleep.

[parodeity]

That makes it sound like my brain is some separate entity that just wants the kids to go the fuck outside to play so it can finish up the housework.

[ he kind of likes the mental image, to be honest, because it's completely stupid. ]

[usedlick]

An interesting mental image. [It is completely stupid, though.] I guess it is... something like that, though. If you want to be imaginative about it.

[parodeity]

I'm very good with metaphors. [ HE'S NOT ]

[usedlick]

I... see.

[Doubt at 98%.]

You'd probably be even better, if you had regular sleep.

[parodeity]

You sound like my mom. [ ... ] If I had a mom. So my hypothetical mom, who I do not actually have?

[usedlick]

Well if you did have one I'm sure she would agree with me. [Is that insensitive to say to someone who just said they don't have a mom? Connor has no idea. The most he knows about familial bonds is that the death of Hank's son has made him a raging alcoholic.]

[parodeity]

Are you in the mom coalition?? [ what is a mom coalition ]

[usedlick]

I'm sorry, the what?

[parodeity]

Like, the PTA. The society of concerned parents for children. The prototypical soccer mom.

[usedlick]

[Okay, that actually does make sense to him.]

I'm not a parent, and I'm not built as a woman, so I would say no.

[He's just an annoying busybody.]

[parodeity]

But you seem concerned about my sleep habits?

[usedlick]

It's simply in my programming to care about the well being of humans.

[parodeity]

Are you a nannybot.

[usedlick]

No. My primary function is to assist detectives. But there is a standard set of directives all androids have, to assist humans when necessary.

[parodeity]

So you're robocop?

[ it doesn't matter what connor says in response. he will now forever be robocop^TM to dave strider. i'm sorry for him, connor. ]

[usedlick]

[At least he gets the reference.]

Not quite, but I am in law enforcement.

[He's fully prepared to be referred to as "Robocop." It's a step above "fucking android," anyway.]

[parodeity]

Huh, okay, cool. You probably wanna talk to Guren, then. He's in charge of the Defense Force, which is probably the nearest thing we have to any sort of law. We're mostly very democratic.

[ alternately they just do whatever.

like, those are the two options with most Chromans. ]

[usedlick]

[He isn't here to evaluate whatever system of order they've set up, so that all sounds good enough to him.]

Alright. [Guren. Another name to add to a growing list of people he should talk to soon.] You've given me a lot of help. Thank you.

[parodeity]

No prob. I'll catch you around, dude. [ dave gives a flippant wave, letting connor free of this thread... ]
