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!

[parodeity]

I was, you know. Thinking about the thankful one?

[ in regards to minato, specifically. ]

[messianic]

Oh... yeah, that sounds like a really nice quest, doesn't it...?

[Minato agrees, but misses any and all implications, which go right over his flu-ridden head.]

I think a lot of people would appreciate getting a gift from you, Dave.

[parodeity]

Right, so...I was, you know. Workin' on one for you?

[ because minato ]

[messianic]

... For me?

[That gets Minato to blink at Dave, even through the fever-flush on his face.]

Really...?

[They are close friends, and yet Minato is surprised by this kindness of Dave's every single time.]

[parodeity]

Dude, of course. Like...you've...been there for me for like. Did you know it'll be nine months or so next month? Why wouldn't I want to do something for you?

[messianic]

[... Dave...

Minato actually flushes a little at that, dipping his head.]

I... I see.

I guess I just wasn't expecting that... but, um. Thank you.

[Now he's thoroughly flustered, excellent.]

[parodeity]

Unfortunately the piano is like. At home, and you're, uh...ill.

[ SO...

...so............... ]

[messianic]

... Oh.

[HM.

Well.

This is a conundrum, it's true.

And, slowly...]

I guess I can... try to make it to your place...?

[parodeity]

I can carry you?

[ HE'S NOT JOHN BUT HE HAS SOME MUSCLE OK ]

[messianic]

[Dave...]

... Are you sure...?

[parodeity]

Well, yeah. It's not that far and I can fly?

[messianic]

I mean in that case... sure, let's do it.

[SWEEP HIM INTO A PRINCESS CARRY.]

I guess I may as well be used to this with you.

[parodeity]

[ INTO THE PRINCESS CARRY HE GOES ]

...Now that you mention it, we kinda have done this a lot, huh?

[messianic]

[Despite everything, it's pretty comfy.]

Weirdly, yeah.

[...]

Well, it's comfortable when it's you anyway.

[parodeity]

Do you have other bonier rides or something?

[ like someone with really sharp elbows, he means. ]

[messianic]

Nah... it's just easy to trust you, so even with a weird way to travel like this, I feel pretty comfortable.

[parodeity]

I think that's the power of friendship or something.

[messianic]

Yeah?

Well, I'll take that. I can buy it, anyway.

[They've got a very power of friendship thing going on here.]
