Event Thirteen.





To love a human face was to discover
The cracks of paint and varnish on the brow;
Soon to distrust all impulses of flesh
That strews its sawdust on the chamber floor,
While at the window peer two crones
Who once were Juliet and Jessica.





t's a regular morning here in the Town. The sun isn't shining at all, snow is falling like crazy, and...there may be the sounds of shouts coming from the well, thoroughly muffled.

Okay, so it's not a regular morning at all, but you'd better go help those people! The newcomers are here again. Of course, once you get to the well, you'll notice that there's actually no real help you can offer -- it's totally frozen over.

As for the newcomers, well... hopefully being suddenly dumped into freezing cold water in the middle of November in a dark, damp well is your idea of a good time, because that's your life now!

And that's not even taking into account the mirrors in everyone's homes that are about to wake up and start chattering...




Welcome to Awash's thirteenth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. Please keep in mind that while this is a general event log, it is also an intro log; be sure to pay plenty of attention to our newcomers!

If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

[Tako puffs up and looks indignant at being dropped, running away from the two of them and back to the shadows of the church, so he can watch from a safe distance without being grabbed again. Akira looks worried for a second that he might be hurt, but of course he isn't. Cat things!]

Don't worry, I'll show you how next time. [Akira looks back at her and smiles, sheepish.] Let's keep exploring the town. If Tako doesn't follow us, I'll come back for him later.
paook: (oh but i know you'll cause me grief)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-10 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah sounds good. [ and she looks past akira and over to where tako has slinked off too. ] Sorry!

[ apologizing to a cat feels silly, but she can sense that he's also a demon. got to be cool to your own kind. she stretches up her arms and grunts with it, flopping them down after and leading their little walk. ]

But man talk about crazy. I mean, you went off to fight that super giant demon and I didn't even know if you'd be coming back. Now we're here in this weird ass looking dump.
lacrimose: (080)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-10 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[wow wait hold up. Akira doesn't follow her just yet, staring in confusion.]

You know I fight demons? Since when? [He's also not sure what 'super giant demon' she's talking about, but he'll take his questions one thing at a time.]
paook: (i've been advised to keep)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-10 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, what? [ confusion strikes her too, brow furrowing. ] What do you mean since when? Like since last night.
lacrimose: (103)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-10 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen you since the track event. Since Koda was...

[Well, that was when everything really went to shit, so he doesn't have to elaborate further. He can't think of when she's had a chance to see him fight since then, though, and he definitely made sure to subdue and rescue Koda in secret.]

Miko, you're like us, aren't you?
paook: (like a moth to light)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-10 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
The track event - [ she stops, head whipping to him like he grew an extra goddamn head. ] - Akira, I was with you at Miki's place just last night before I got here! The track event was... god, it was a few days ago wasn't it...

[ things really went downhill so fast and she didn't even really realize it until now. and it all started after that, after koda went on a rampage and murdered all those people. ]

What the hell is going on with you?

lacrimose: (102)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-10 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stares at her, that reaction not being what he'd expected.] What's going on with me? You weren't at Miki's. It was just me and her, after Uncle Noel left.

[And he's still worried sick about Akiko taking Taro and leaving, but Miki was somehow keeping things together for the two of them. He would have known for sure, had she been there for such a tense moment.]
paook: (your kisses taste like bitter almonds)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-10 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That's...

[ she stares at him dumbfounded, not even having the words for it right now. he... he can't seriously not remember having to tell miki her dad was dead, right? how he wailed and sobbed so hard because miki just wouldn't. that's not akira fudo.

but then who is she even talking to...
]

I... I don't even know what to say to you. But I'm not wrong either. I'm not lying.
lacrimose: (025)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-10 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe you. [He's not sure why she'd lie about it, and being sensitive as he is, it's often not that hard to tell when he's being lied to.]

Does that mean I'm missing memories? But how... [He hopes it's nothing to do with being a Devilman, or Amon. As far as he knows, he doesn't even have Ryo here to ask about it. Running a hand through his hair in agitation, he looks up at Miki.] Is there anything else I forgot?
paook: (they say the boys have been)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-10 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ yeah. ]

Well, uh to answer your question - yeah. I'm a... Devilman. [ ugh ] Can't believe that's what we're calling ourselves.

[ wasn't that some old kid's tv show? it's so lame, but she'll use it because he does. ]
lacrimose: (105)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-11 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[A shrug, nonchalant.] Ryo picked the name, I think. I just ran with it. You don't like it?

[It makes him feel like a cool hero Taro would cheer for, so he doesn't mind if it's a little corny. It's a name demons have already learned to fear now, too, so he wouldn't change it now even if she wanted to.]
paook: (like a beast to bait)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-11 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ at ryo's name miki saddened look turns sharper, the sound of his name lighting her anger like the match that strikes the box. ]

Yeah, fucking hate it.

[ two seconds ago she didn't really care that much, but now? now she rather never use that term again. ]
lacrimose: (006)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-11 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Yikes. His expression clouds as he looks her over, that shift in attitude not lost on him.]

You don't like Ryo? [Since when did they even know each other?]
paook: (when there's the option of a love affair)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-11 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ flatly: ]

Do I like the twink fucker who livestreamed Koda rampaging across the stadium, killing hundreds of people? [ her glare deepens and she scoffs. ] Miki and I were on the field you know. We probably would've died if she didn't think fast for the both of us.

[ she was... petrified. all she could do was stare at the massacre in horror, realizing then who - what she was - and terror clutched her heart in a vice. but not miki, who took her hand and led them both out of an emergency exit. ]
lacrimose: (102)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-11 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I was there, too.

[His expression becomes bitter, and his hands ball into fists. He has no idea what his friend was thinking, engineering the whole thing to cause the most amount of carnage possible, making the whole world afraid. And Koda, who was so sad and alone, being driven out of hiding like that...]

Once the gates were raised, I followed Koda and stopped him. I wish I could've done something sooner, but that would've put a target on my back, too.
paook: (fear and delight)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-12 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
It's not your fault.

[ even if akira is always the sort to beat himself up for things he didn't take part in, all because he just saw it happen or even heard about it. always the crybaby. ]

Look forget about it. If you wanna use it, it's your life, but that Ryo Asuka guy -- he's a piece of shit only in it for himself.

[ and if akira doesn't remember anything about what happened to miki's family, then he probably doesn't remember watching ryo outing him as a demon to the entire fucking world at large. she... wants to spare his feelings, stupid as it is. really fucking stupid, but she doesn't want to see him cry. ]
lacrimose: (011)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-12 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
I thought he was better than that. He's my best friend, so I let him drag me into this thinking we'd work together to help everyone. Now I don't know what he's thinking at all...

[Sure, he'd originally agreed to the Koda plan, but they weren't supposed to leave the gates lowered. Koda was supposed to flee straight away, Akira would pin him down, the world would learn about demons without anyone getting hurt in the big reveal.

Yet even when Akira had second thoughts, Ryo had just gone ahead with the plan -- no, made the outcome a hundred times worse. And his attitude after that... He sighs.]


...I guess it doesn't matter, if he isn't here. Let's just focus on getting back. I'll deal with Ryo once we find a way home.
paook: (close friends of mine are in disbelief)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-12 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, you gotta.

[ because she isn't going back home from here. ]

Let's keep walking. Maybe we'll find someone else we know?
lacrimose: (103)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-12 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Even if she did plan to go home, Akira knows it has to be him. The only person Ryo will listen to is him. If he doesn't reason with Akira, he's not going to reason with anyone at all.

As they keep walking, Akira stuffs his hands into the pockets of his jacket to ward off the chill.]


So, what does it look like? [Her Devilman form, that is.]
paook: (but i want you tonight.)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-12 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Spider.

[ giant fucking spider with spikes in her tits, she loves it. ]
lacrimose: (006)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-12 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Can I see?

[Not right now in the street, obviously. But maybe in the woods or something.]
paook: (destroyed but they weren't)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-12 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[ and then she outstretches an arm and a spike bursts out of it! what do you mean not right here? ]
lacrimose: (075)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-12 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[stepping back out of spike range, just in case.]

Whoa, nice.
paook: (to death in your arms)

[personal profile] paook 2018-11-12 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah it is.

[ and then it retracts, snapping back into his body and the gash made heals over instantly. she's glad she can still do that. ]

...We shouldn't make a habit of turning into demons. I don't wanna get lynched.

[ been there, done that. ]
lacrimose: (092)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-12 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
I know. [He's definitely seen a Devilman attacked and killed in the streets by the military, for all his best attempts at saving them, and then they'd tried to gun him down, too. It broke his heart; he doesn't want to see it happen again. Least of all to Miki.]

But even if someone sees you, we'll protect each other. Don't worry.
