Event Twelve

[awashmods]

I am a reaper whose muscles set at sundown. All my oats are cradled.  But I am too chilled, and too fatigued to bind them.  And I hunger.

ou know what's probably amazing? Waking up to your previously normal front door suddenly being covered by a huge, autumn-themed wreath. Or perhaps you're close enough to the center of the Town to look out your window and get an eyeful of that effigy, staring soullessly at you? The point is, there's a festival going on! The Town's been decorated accordingly (don't trip over sudden bales of hay), and towards the center of the Town, there are all sorts of fun games, tables of food, and other amazing things set up. Go prance onto the stage, sample some of the amazing food, convince one of your friends to play one of those bobbing for apples games... Enjoy it! There doesn't seem to be much of a catch this time. (At least, not until you eat the food, and then you'll figure out just what that "catch" is.) Welcome to Awash's twelfth 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!

[Nyx was standing by, grinning at the contestants attempting to grab the apples-- some successful, others hilariously not--when Ochako's hand smacked into his back, driving him forward a step. Startled, he raises both eyebrows and turns to look down at her. He forgets how strong she can be.]

A competition? For apples?

[thriftea]

[Hell yes she's strong! She beams up at him, trying not to laugh at the thought of winning, like, a bushel of apples. Because she's definitely going to win, you see. Definitely.]

Only if that's what you want to compete for! But I was thinking about something else? Like... the loser has to cook dinner for the winner!

[GIVE HER FOOD.]

[sirnyxalot]

[Nyx laughs.]

I’d ask if you knew who you were challenging but I’m not sure I can beat you.

[Someone might have been drinking the cider.]

[thriftea]

[That makes Ochako's already wide smile widen even more, because hey, at least he realizes who he's up against. Her overly confident self is pleased.]

Probably not, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Come on! It'll be fun.

[And slipping her arm through his, she will all but drag him over to the apple bobbing trough. Thankfully someone has already set this bad boy up; it's full of both water and apples, so she looks back up at him and tilts her head ever-so-slightly to the side.]

One minute each? You can go first.

[She's feeling GENEROUS.]

[sirnyxalot]

[He lets himself be dragged, offering up a token resistance just to keep up the image.]

A whole minute? Now you're going easy on me. Fine fine.

[He takes a moment to tug his shirt over his head, not keen on having to walk around with it wet if he ends up having to dive in for these things, and kneels next to the trough.]

You counting?
