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!

That's been on my mind, too. It's only a small town... It's not like the big cities I'm used to, where it's easy to blend in. But...

[He frowns, looking downcast.] Whatever's going on here, I want to help protect the town. If everyone knew the truth, I bet Ichinose would kick me out the defence force in a heartbeat.

[He should be relieved at the heavy weight of being the Symbol of Peace being lifted from his shoulders -- isn't retirement what he's been preparing for all this time? -- but still. Old habits die hard, so he leapt at the chance to join the force.

He looks up again, fixing Izuku with a hard stare.]

Listen, young Midoriya. I won't ask you to lie for me, or do anything that will compromise the trust you've built with your friends here. Just don't tell anyone, okay? Not yet. While I still have power left, I want to use it.

I don't think Ichinose-sensei would do that. [Despite his protest, Izuku can see why All Might would be wary--he doesn't know any of these people, after all.

Just when Izuku thinks things can't get worse, he hears All Might's request. He bites his tongue, trying not to blurt out that Aizawa, Shouto, and Ochako all already know about his other form, thanks to All For One. It's hard, keeping something as important as this from All Might.

So, with something heavy in his chest, Izuku simply nods.]

I...I won't. I know you want to do as much as you can to help with the time that you have.

[Maybe Guren wouldn't do that, but All Might has been surrounded by people urging him to retire over the past half a decade. What's to say anyone else here wouldn't treat him the same way, even without knowing the full extent of his circumstances? It's a risk he'd rather not take.]

Thanks, kid. [It's something he'll deal with when the right time comes, even if it means keeping that burden on Izuku. He pats him on the shoulder.] Whatever happens here, we should make the most of the time we have. No villains means more time to focus on you and One for All, so let's do everything we can until we find a way home.
