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!

I mean, big mood.

[ who seriously wants to be constantly confronted with the worst parts of themselves, after all? ]

Seems like a lot of effort to go about it that way though. Why not just dump it in the bottom of a bag and carry it round or something?

[ 'cause it's definitely not gonna leave him alone. that's not how the town works when it's pulling crap like this. ]

Big mood?

[Yu is from 2009. Big mood hasn't big mood' just yet.]

I thought about that, but don't have a bag with me, and I don't like the idea of putting it in my pocket. I guess I cold use a blanket to cover it. Do you think that might work?

Yeah. Y'know, like I feel where you're coming from.

[ Michael's eternal curse is using slang most people in town don't get, and knowing this, and... continuing to use it anyway, because he's Just Like That. ]

That might just work. Or I mean, it's gotta be better than constantly knowing it's gonna pop up again at any minute.
izanyagi: (Okay no I don't believe you)

I guess so.

[He looks back to the discarded mirror once more.]

It hasn't bothered me when I tell him no thank you, at least. It's not that I'm not curious...but I'd rather focus on more important things than my own reflection or whatever it might hold.

I dunno, don't they say self-awareness is impor--

[ wait. ]

Wait, you mean you haven't looked even once?
izanyagi: <user name=pixle> (What are you talking about)

[personal profile] izanyagi 2018-11-30 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Why would I?

[Sure he is a little curious, but there's something about this that doesn't sit well with him.]

I feel it's better ignoring it for now.

[ he lets out a low whistle. ]

Wow. You must have some kinda iron-clad willpower or something. [ he goes to run a hand through his hair, before remembering he's wearing a hat and pushing that back on his head a lil instead. ] I'm pretty sure I looked in mine almost as soon as I noticed it.

[ curiosity killed the cat...! ] Probably shoulda known better, I mean, I've been here long enough.

It is pretty hard not to look but I've dealt with enough to know that sometimes it's better not to.

[He can accept the truth, but this felt more like a trick than a truth given to him.]

How long have you been here?

Oh, for real?

[ he shoots a curious look at that first comment. dealt with enough as in, enough general magic shenanigans? or dealt with enough as in, other asshole-mirror kinda stuff? you can never rule out anything when it comes to the people in Chroma... ]

Anyways, I'd say it's been - I dunno, four or five months? It was definitely summer when I got here and it's pretty much winter by now, so.

[A little of both, really...]

I see...how have those months been? It seems from talking to others that this sort of thing is very common.
