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!

[Neither did Duo, but had enough empathy to know that Quatre's strained relationship with the man didn't make the loss hurt any less.]

Shit, tell me about it...

[BOY this conversation sure got depressing.]

[spiria]

[ ... Yeah, we need less a less depressing topic. ]

... I wonder what this place is going to be like?

[deathscyther]

No idea. All I know is we're both a long way from Kansas, Toto.

[spiria]

... My name isn't Toto?

[ The reference is lost on her, bro. ]

And what's a Kansas?

[deathscyther]

[Duo snorted, shaking his head.]

A place on Earth. And I know, it's a joke.

[spiria]

Ohhh.

[ She doesn't get the joke. ]

I don't understand it.

[deathscyther]

I'll have to introduce you to movies. ... somehow.

[Given the state of the town they're approaching, he's not expecting a theater nearby.]

... yikes.

[spiria]

... Mhm.

[ Despite being far less technologically advanced than Duo's world clearly was, she even knew that the state of the town was not quite the best. This place clearly needed help. She didn't know what she could do to help, but that's something they both would find out, she was sure. ]

[deathscyther]

... I honestly didn't think it was gonna be this... rough looking.

[Sure, he'd grown up in some pretty nasty places, back alleys and the dark holes that the average colony resident wouldn't even so much as glance at.

This place, "Chroma" as he saw it called, looked like it really had seen better days.]

[spiria]

I guess this place really needs our help.

[ Though it would have been nice if the place had taken her at a time where things were a little better off back home ... ]

[deathscyther]

[Duo shifted on his feet, lips pulled taught as he scratched at the back of his neck and some of his tangled hair.]

I don't know what it expects to get out of me...

[spiria]

Me neither, but I guess that's something we'll find out?

[ Obviously it isn't going to dump them here and not eventually give them any clues, right?

.... Right? ]

[deathscyther]

[Maybe don't hold your breath...]

Yeah. C'mon... no use standing here gawking.

[spiria]

[ She doesn't intend to. ]

Right. Let's ... Go find a place.
