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!

[You could say it's a...cat-a-strophe.]

Oh, I see...[He flings more of the blankets over his shoulders as he talks, slowly becoming Yu of the mostly colorless covers.] It's too bad we can't complete the blanket quest together then. Maybe we'd both get something we want from home.

[Or you ends up with one of the many outfits he wore. nbd.]

I noticed one of the quests said to remove color...that doesn't sound like a good quest. The food I ate earlier that was grey didn't taste anything at all.

Perhaps, but the rewards these quests usually yield are new supplies entirely. They're not always very useful, though.

[ There is one quest they can do, but Akechi isn't about to go risk his neck in the woods with someone he's just barely met. What if he's completely useless? ]

It is true that colorless food won't taste much better than ash, but that quest isn't quite news to us. Usually what happens when someone loses their color is that they'll lose their emotions for some time.

[ Casually talking about this like it hadn't happened to him, yup. ]

Do we know anything about who's sending them? Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions

[Yu would understand Akechi's hesitation in going somewhere with a perfect stranger. Probably. It's Yu, after all. He frowns when he hears what happens to those without color...]

Ahh...that's terrible.

[Yu already looks like he lost half of them with his grey hair and eyes.]

I don't think I could do that to anyone, then.

[Mentally, he's going to cross out that quest.]

[ Akechi would point out that it really isn't all that to lose emotions for a little bit, but that seems to be an Unpopular Opinion around these parts, so it's probably not a good idea to spring that on the newcomer-- it would make for a bad first impression.

So instead, he's going to focus on Yu's questions: ]


Don't worry about it. I'm happy to provide as many answers as I can, but unfortunately there's not much I can tell you with certainty about that. All we know is that these quests are posted by someone who's only known by a hexadecimal code, like the rest of us. Since it's #FFFFFF, some of us have taken to calling them "Mr. White."

[ And of course, Akechi has his own theories about that, but the guy is probably looking for solid information right now. ]

[Yu would probably end up arguing so it is probably for the best, Akechi.]

So #FFFFFF is white in hexadecimal...[Yu hasn't really done many pages apart from his MySpace and Lifejournal. They mostly talk about the cats he's seen and his friends.]

Do they seem friendly?

[ They can always argue about it the next time Akechi loses color again. He won't care. ]

It is. Our own hexadecimal codes stand for a variation of the colors we've been assigned. Mine is #900014. As for Mr. White, they don't seem to interact with us at all, save for posting these quests. Normally, we don't even catch a single glimpse of whoever brings our rewards; they'll either show up on you or somewhere in your house, like a magic trick.

[ And considering the whole fairytale theme of this place, calling it magic might be a pretty accurate bet. ]
