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!

Ryo...

[It's a warning growl under his breath. Ryo's basically admitting he could say those things, and maybe he really would do so in his 'future', whatever that means. So it wasn't a trick. Ryo's unhinged speech really was just Ryo, deep down.

Maybe part of Akira has always known that. Still, it hurts.]


What's to stop you from making people turn on each other here, too? What have you been doing here?

[ Belatedly, he realizes that maybe he shouldn't have admitted that, but what else could he have done here? Doubled down and kept denying it, and piss his friend off even more?

He keeps his gaze on Akira, steady and focused, pushing his hands into his pockets. It'd be easier if Akira could just forget about this and move on, but that's likely just wishful thinking. Akira is here and he's angry at him for something Ryo hasn't even experienced yet (or forgotten, he supposes, but timeline shenanigans is the more likely scenario between the two). He's just going to have to deal with this. ]


A war here would accomplish nothing. There's no demon threat. [ He replies, voice neutral and calm. His fingers curl inside his pockets. ]

I've mostly just been living, I suppose? I've been trying to find answers to our current situation and adjusted to going without modern amenities. Sometimes I go on quests—they're tasks given to us by someone going by the handle of #FFFFFF on the internet forum accessible through our laptops. Completing them nets you rewards of varying quality.

What is the war at home supposed to accomplish?

[Akira steps towards him like he wants to grab him and shake something that makes sense out of him, but he doesn't, settling for baring his teeth and growling instead. He might not be yelling any more, but that response makes him no less angry than before.]

I'm going to find a way home. If there aren't demons here, I'm wasting my time.
apocalypticist: (❥ you are covered with the slain)

[personal profile] apocalypticist 2018-11-10 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Calm down. [ He repeats his words from earlier, not addressing Akira's question about the war—he doesn't have an answer to it that won't make him angrier, and he's been asking himself that same question a lot recently. He can't answer it properly when he doesn't quite understand his own motives for instigating it in the first place.

He was supposed to help humanity; he's sure he genuinely felt that way at some point, but now he just wants to watch them tear each other apart like startled animals. They're weak and undeserving of being the dominant species on the planet. ]


You're not going to find a way home so easily. [ ... ] There are demons in the forest, but don't go looking for them alone.

Who's going to help me? You? [He scoffs, disbelieving.] Forget it, Ryo.

[If he has to go hunt them alone, he will. He turns away from Ryo and walks off in disgust, not really caring if Ryo follows one way or the other. He doesn't understand his friend any more, and trying to get a straight answer out of him is obviously impossible, so he'll figure out things here on his own. Chances are he's probably lying about the town for his own reasons, too.]
apocalypticist: (❥ like a corpse trampled underfoot)

[personal profile] apocalypticist 2018-11-10 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Guess what! Ryo's going to follow him. ]

Don't be stupid, Akira.
lacrimose: (083)

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-10 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Still storming off without looking at him, the cat following at his heels.]

Shut up. I'm done listening to you.
apocalypticist: (❥ and made kingdoms tremble)

[personal profile] apocalypticist 2018-11-10 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You're letting your emotions cloud your thoughts, Akira!

[ Akira's harsh do make him halt in his step, though, and he watches him walk away with his nails digging into his palms—let Akira have his little tantrum, he'll cool off and come back to him eventually. This won't be any different from that little fight they had when he tried to shoot Miki. ]

My hex code is #DC666E—contact me using your laptop when you feel like talking to me again, and please don't do anything rashly. The forest is a dangerous place.

[ There's concern bleeding into his voice as calls out after him; it's rare, but genuine. ]

[personal profile] lacrimose 2018-11-10 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
SHUT UP, RYO!

[Akira has no idea what a hex code is and has even less interest in memorising one. He did everything Ryo had asked him to do up until this point, but this is where it stops. There are other people in the town who can help him, and even if they can't, going alone has to be better than this.

So, without looking back even once, he walks away into the heavy snowfall.]
apocalypticist: (❥ and would not let his captives go home)

[personal profile] apocalypticist 2018-11-10 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ w e l p

looks like he's going to have to do some stalking to find out where Akira lives. ]
