WHO: ten actual people climbing down into the well
WHERE: THE WELL
WHEN: like nowish. first weekish.
WHAT: ten actual people climbing down into the well
WARNINGS: they're in the well

As per the lovely mod PM:

...they can all shove themselves down into the well and have a fun sleepless night down there. One thing to note is that the well is going to be a fair bit less exciting this time -- it's a strange sort of thing, but if anyone can sense magic, they will sense that there is less magic in the well than there was the month before. It might have something to do with all of those new people the well spat out like a bad hairball!

Either way, once the clock hits midnight, just like before, after standing in freezing cold water for hours, everyone will note that something's a little...strange.

First? There are voices. The words are soft, but still audible -- men, women, children, all chattering about normal, typical life things. The common theme about the whole thing seems to be very simply an excitement about starting a new life here, where there's a beautiful forest, a lovely harbor, and all of the things they could possibly need to live a happy life. They won't see anything, but they will hear those wishes very distinctly, as if they're embedded in the well at this point.

The second is that every character going into the well is going to come out of the well EXTREMELY drained. As in "needs to sleep for a solid 12 hours at the very least" sort of drained. You're donating to the "having enough magic to bring in future new characters" cause, guys, it's worth it.

Okay, well. The story starts out a while ago, with a magic well. No one knew how it worked, but there was one heroic boy who was determined to find out...

So I assume this boy ventured into the well several times?

[He's picturing Okuyasu as the hero of the story, actually.]

[ it is 100% okuyasu ]

Yep! He even slept over in the well once or twice, and saw some pretty weird shit. But he was determined to figure out the well once and for all...so, he decided to stay in the well with a bunch of other dumbasses.
