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!

[ Well.

That's a hell of a thing to say to a total stranger. Vriska stares at her blankly for a moment, and then barks a startled laugh. ]


You don't have to tell me! No one knows better than I do what a total bitch I am.

[ Vriska twirls her mirror in her fingers, smiling just a little at the way it makes the mirror version of her shriek. ]

It's fine. No offense taken.

[#NailedIt. One thing you can usually count on about people who are total bitches: they're usually highly cognizant of that very fact. Lord knows Summer is. Not unreasonable to assume it's might be something that the two of them have in common.]

I think that's the going theme with these mirrors. Being pieces of shit, I mean, like just generally. Kinda makes you wonder what the gimmick is, doesn't it?

[She shrugs a little.]

Like what's the endgame here, that we all end up with bad self-esteem? Are they gonna crawl out of the mirrors and try to murder us and take our places? Is it just supposed to be our friendly weekly reminder that hey, by the way, everybody's a terrible person deep down? Whatever it is, they're laying it on pretty thick, in my book.

[ Vriska's grin twitches at the corners, like she's trying not to laugh again. Then she shrugs expansively. ]

You're not wrong! The clowns in charge of this place are basically a mess. They can't be trying to teach us something, since their complete ineptitude would prevent anyone from learning anything! So maybe they're just fucking with us? Who knows. Either way, it blows. This is just the latest in a long line of idiot stunts.
whichcraft: the world might do me in but it's all right 'cause i'm with friends (SHADOW ♚ now you see me now you don't)

[personal profile] whichcraft 2018-11-11 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Probably. Maybe we all pissed them off somehow last month with our harvesty revelry, so now the shame mirrors are our penance. Or something.

[Oh, well. Everyone knows you don't rise to the bait of a jeering asshole. That's the moral of Back to the Future III, and all.]

I've heard about a couple people breaking theirs, too, but if this is some kind of test, I'm guessing that's the way to fail it. You know? Giving in to criticism, or whatever.

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-11-11 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't doubt it! We've been given quote-unquote "tests" like this before, and there were consequences for failing. But I also don't care! I am over it. What're they gonna do, kill me?

[ for some reason that seems to amuse her. ]

What're you gonna do with yours?
whichcraft: god the killers truly understand my soul (BURN ♚ on the back of a hurricane)

[personal profile] whichcraft 2018-11-11 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno. Either ignore it until it goes away or like, set it on fire or something, I guess. At least one of these solutions is a sensible solution.

[And the other involves fire.]

On the other hand, it's probably worth remembering that this place seems to always run on fairy tales, right? Fairy tales are all about fates worse than death, so.

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-11-11 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I agree. Setting them on fire is a great idea!

[ look, ]

That said, you're probably right. I still don't care what they do to me, but I'll be keeping an eye out for the people I know, at least. I haven't decided whether or not I'll break my mirror yet, but I may at least make a token effort at preventing anybody else from doing it.
whichcraft: mankind invented houses for a reason, okay (NATURE ♚ wow thanks i hate it)

[personal profile] whichcraft 2018-11-11 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like you've got some hothead friends, huh.

[And like, look. It's a small town, so maybe...]

I wonder if I know any of them. Care to drop some names? We can play six degrees to Kevin Bacon, or whoever Chroma's equivalent of Kevin Bacon is. That Guren guy, maybe?

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-11-12 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
You don't even know! Keeping them alive is incredibly taxing.

[ A small smile. ]

I actually haven't talked to Guren. Is he that bad? I mean, there are a lot of self-sacrificing idiots, here. Have you met Midoriya? He's the worst!
whichcraft: high self-esteem is essential to a happy life (HELLA ♚ i'm the motherflippin')

[personal profile] whichcraft 2018-11-13 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I think he's important, anyway. Dunno if he's bad or not, but it seems like everybody knows him.

[She shrugs a little, but boy, is she feeling that commentary about trying to keep your idiot friends alive. It's hard being the only one in the group with common sense!!]

What makes you think I hang out with people who are the worst? Come on, now.

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-11-14 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Now she's laughing again. ]

For all I know, you're the worst and just trying to deflect! I won't fall for your clever ruse. [ wiggles her fingers. ]
whichcraft: mankind invented houses for a reason, okay (NATURE ♚ wow thanks i hate it)

[personal profile] whichcraft 2018-11-17 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha, but if I were the worst, I would definitely say I was the worst to reverse-psychology you into thinking I'm not so bad. So I can't possibly be the worst, can I?

[This is just going to turn into a twenty-ruse pileup in about three seconds, isn't it. Who let these two girls talk.]
hypertoxic: (ɪ'ʟʟ ʙᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ sᴋʏ ⇒ [amused])

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-11-18 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh shit. I call shenanigans! Who strategizes their shenanigans like this? Damn. Okay, so, if you're claiming reverse psychology to mislead me, then aren't you basically proving you are in fact the worst by using dirty tactics to get yourself out of the "worst" category?

[ oh yeah. it's on now. ]
whichcraft: murder, arson, and jaywalking, presumably (INNOCENT ♚ what can one little girl do)

[personal profile] whichcraft 2018-11-21 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Am I using reverse psychology, though? Or am I only suggesting that I'm not using reverse psychology in a situation where someone who is the worst might use it?

[isn't that basically just reverse-psychologying the topic of reverse psycholog— why this]
hypertoxic: (ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴍᴇᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ⇒)

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-11-22 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Pff. Try to wriggle your way out of this all you want, but if anything, you're just proving me even more correct! Only someone who's the worst would think up such an ass backwards plan. Prove me wrong!

[ why are they both like this ]
whichcraft: high self-esteem is essential to a happy life (HELLA ♚ i'm the motherflippin')

[personal profile] whichcraft 2018-11-24 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Spoken like somebody who's truly the worst. And if you're the worst, then therefore I clearly cannot be.

[WHO GREENLIT THIS]
hypertoxic: (ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ ⇒ [laughing])

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-11-25 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
As if! I freely admit to my own awfulness, which at least makes me honest. You don't even have that going for you. Instead, you use the awfulness of others to mask your own sins! But I see through you. You're the most devious of the worst!

... and to be honest, I like that in a person! [ she finally laughs, cracking up in delighted giggles. ]
