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!

Wise words as always, my lady.

[ said with just a hint of humor—sierra would never actually, sincerely call anyone else by a proper title, even at her most dire, but it’s almost like an affectionate petname toward maribelle. ]

I suppose you talked yours into submission.
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[She begins to redden.]

Er... well... not exactly...

[personal profile] regrede 2018-11-14 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ sierra raises her eyebrows. ]

“Not exactly”?
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-11-14 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
... I. Well.

I broke my mirror.

[Don't try to phrase it like it was an accident, mari.]

[personal profile] regrede 2018-11-15 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[ sierra thinks about it and tries to imagine it, and she hasn’t yet seen maribelle’s temper in all its fury. it’s hard to conceive. ]

Do you mean to say you dropped it, or something with more… purpose?
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-11-15 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[S-sigh.]

... I threw it across the room at my house, intending to break the damnable thing.

[ it’s not a bad idea, really. sierra wants to snap hers over her knee, and hearing that someone like maribelle has practically done just that… ]

And did it work?
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-11-16 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so... I haven't heard from her since. But... I'm probably going to pay for that.
regrede: (pic#12551611)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-11-18 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so?

[ this is a bad idea, surely, and sierra knows it—but it’s perhaps a weak fondness for maribelle and her own irritation growing that causes her to take action. she shifts her grip on her mirror, thumb pressed to the center of the glass, and squeezes. the mirror snaps. ]

Then, I will too.
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-11-18 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gasps in horror, reaching over, as if that would somehow prevent it from happening.]

Sierra, no! What have you done?!
regrede: (pic#12652654)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-11-19 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
We’ll go down together, if it comes to that.

[ the mirror is abruptly silent, now that it’s broken, but sierra is kind enough not to drop the pieces of broken glass all over the church floor. ]

It was too keen to tell my secrets, anyway.
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-11-19 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd rather you not go down at all! Sierra... you must never do that again! I would much rather suffer alone than have my actions cause you harm as well!
regrede: (pic#12554340)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-11-20 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
You’re sweet, but I’ve been through far worse than this. I doubt there’s anything this mirror could do to truly hurt me.

[ she’s probably going to eat those words in a few weeks, but for now, she’s totally confident. ]
troubadamsel: (En Garde!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-11-20 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Then think of it this way - anything that hurts you, no matter how small, hurts me as well! That's a major part of friendship!

[oh snap, the big f word.]
regrede: (pic#12551606)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-11-21 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
Maribelle…

[ it’s sweet. too sweet, really, and sierra is glad that her mirror no longer has a say in it. ]

Then, the same goes for me. The next time something reckless is presented as an option, please refrain from taking it, would you?
troubadamsel: (Right Here You Worm!)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-11-21 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
... Ah.

[Welp. No denying that - guess this sort of thing does cut both ways.]

... I see. A-hem. Well... it seems we could both stand to listen to one another more, and not just for compliments.
regrede: (pic#12551611)

[personal profile] regrede 2018-11-23 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a short, soft laugh. ]

Damn the need for responsibility, hm? [ she carefully removes one of the larger pieces of her shattered mirror, holding it up—she still catches no sight of herself in the reflection, as usual. ] If you begin to feel any side effects, come find me. I’ll kill the bastard who gave us these mirrors.

[A small sigh and a weak smile.]

You'll have to get in line for that, believe you me.
