Event Eleven.

"Four ducks on a pond, A grass-bank beyond, A blue sky of spring, White clouds on the wing; What a little thing To remember for years -- To remember with tears!"

he day is normal. It's a bit chillier than it's been, the nip of fall in the air, but as the new people in the Town settle in... things have gotten peaceful. And yet. When everyone goes out to greet their neighbors, to hug their friends, to shake hands or make eye contact or who knows what -- they'll realize very, very quickly that nothing about today is normal at all, actually. Hopefully nobody minds a little extra sharing today. Welcome to Awash's eleventh event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well. If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

Why couldn't I have walked into a house myself, in that case!!

[He still has the energy to be indignant! Don't drag him around!!]

I'm not so tired that I'll let you pull my body around like a ragdoll!

[osuni]

Yes, yes, but what if you end up trying to help someone else in the meantime?

[Okuni thinks about actually knocking Reim out with force, but decides to desist... for now.]

Then you'll really collapse. And it'll be in front of someone you won't like!

[okuni is someone reim likes.... right]

[allweather]

[Technically he hasn't collapsed yet, so he doesn't have to say anything to that point, so there.]

What kind of person do you think I am, so careless about his own well-being... [like, she's not wrong, he would definitely do that thing, but he'd probably pass out in the direction of a bed.]

[osuni]

[at this point Okuni trusts absolutely zero adults in this town to look after themselves... evERYONE HERE HAS A SELFLESS STREAK A MILE WIDE]

The sort of person who can't fight, but still ends up in dangerous situations?

[Reim's memory is still fresh in her mind, and for a moment she recalls that girl's childish laughter.

what did reim do to get knocked tf out by a child....]

[allweather]

[If Reim isn't making questionable choices, is he really alive??? Who can say!]

That— is completely different from this. First of all, I wasn't sleeping on the ground.

[At least not in the part she saw heyooo]

[osuni]

[Okuni looks at him like she suspects that he ended up sleeping there anyway, but she has no evidence to support her RIGHT conclusion so she lets that pass. Instead, she props her chin up with a hand, now fully invested in this nerd lying on the grass.]

Why did you end up on the ground? What were you even doing before that?

[allweather]

[Uh, hmm... He looks away from her, up at the sky, frowning while he thinks of how much to say. Probably not everything, ha ha...]

I was getting into a dangerous situation, clearly. [...] That girl and her family had killed a number of my colleagues and were setting their sights on an important friend of mine, so I... tried to help protect them, and that is where I wound up.
