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!

I figure there was probably not that big of a need for it? As it is mobile phones are still notoriously bad at functioning on the colonies, and video broadcasts are still done with delays when sent anywhere than the source location.

War can make a lot of advances but it can also stagnate just as much.

[good_ideas]

yeah war would do it
but you'd think they would need communications to like
talk about where to send ships and troops and stuff

[deathscyther]

Radio, mostly. Earth had an easier time getting more advanced communication methods, but the colonies are still struggling to get stuff that isn't affected by being in space.

[good_ideas]

radio does work pretty well when more complicated technology fails
i guess
i think this is something minamoto-san could have helped you with though

[deathscyther]

We had some pretty damn smart scientists but they were mostly caught up in building bigger and better mobile suits. Or being forced to.

[good_ideas]

mobile suits like


robots?

[deathscyther]

Yeah!

You know what they are?!

[good_ideas]

kiiiiiiiind of?
i have a friend who is sort of into that kind of thing

[deathscyther]

"Into"? Like, how?

[Doesn't sound like someone who's a scientist, pilot or a mechanic. Most people in his world aren't just casually "into" things related to gundams and mobile suits.]

[good_ideas]

he thinks they're cool

[And because his powers are a combination of psychokinesis and hypnosis, he could probably create a Gundam he could drive. But then Bandai would come and end them, so maybe that's not such a good idea.]

[deathscyther]

That's... it?

[good_ideas]

he also once made one out of a firetruck and called it go go god robo or something

what else should there be??

[deathscyther]

Pilot? Mechanic? Scientist? Soldier? Any one of those, really. I don't think I know a single person who's JUST a "fan" of Gundams or mobile suits.

And how the fuck do you make one out of a firetruck?

[good_ideas]

well i guess you could say he's a pilot [And a soldier, but they were trying not to talk about that too much.]

he uses the power of his imagination [No, really.]

[deathscyther]

Funny. Pull my other leg, it plays Jingle Bells.

[good_ideas]

i was being serious
And if your leg does that you need to go see a doctor

[deathscyther]

How the fuck

[good_ideas]

imagination
along with hypno and psychokinesis

[deathscyther]

What kind of world do you even live in

[good_ideas]

a really normal one
but you know
with espers in it

[deathscyther]

Normal for YOU maybe

[good_ideas]

everything else really is normal though

[deathscyther]

And they just accept this shit?

[good_ideas]

calling a whole bunch of people shit is rude

[deathscyther]

Ha ha. I meant the powers.
