Event Thirteen.

[awashmods]

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!

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.

[hypertoxic]

[ 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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

Spoken like somebody who's truly the worst. And if you're the worst, then therefore I clearly cannot be.

[WHO GREENLIT THIS]

[hypertoxic]

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. ]
