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!

[Thank God. He didn't want to have to unarm a Viking girl with an axe. Not because she's a girl, but because he thinks it might be insulting for a Viking.]

Hofferson. [It's sort of like a greeting, an understanding. A way to remember the name by saying it.] They're called laptops. A specific type of computer.

First, come down. [Slowly, Damian relaxes. His arms lower and he straightens up completely, offering her a kind of shown truce.] Then close your eyes and focus on the pull inside you. Where does it lead?

[brawlhalla]

[ what the hell is a computer.

but she closes her eyes...

and then points bluo-wards. ]

[bittybat]

[RIP Astrid.

Damian turns his head to follow the direction of the pointing.] Bluo.

The house the town assigned you is there, but you aren't required to stay. You may have a roomate, or several roommates, though not always.

[brawlhalla]

[ MOVES HER IN WITH DAMIAN, OBVIOUSLY,,,, but nah rn she's in an empty room. ]

You have a roommate?

[bittybat]

[Big sis him fiercely!!!!

When Damian looks back, he doesn’t meet her face or her eyes. He can’t even feel bad for Jon’s loss, not believing so strongly that Jon went back home as intended. And he had promised that much. Jon would go back first.] I had one.

[brawlhalla]

[ look do u want a viking roomie, damian. THEY COULD WALK TO FIND HER HOUSE and he could go "this is my house. my god." instant pet dragon who would currently be probably making a mess.

at any rate, astrid hears what isn't said. ]

...Is there any way to check if...anyone I know is here?

[bittybat]

[Without turning completely away or letting his guard down, Damian points behind him toward the community board several yards away.]

There's a few on the board, offering services. If they've been here for some time, you might know some of the names. Otherwise, you can ask the forum on the laptop.

There's also a list I can show you, or you'll have to speak to Izuku Midoriya. He started the list. I haven't updated mine with those of you who have just arrived yet.

Are you looking for someone in particular?

[brawlhalla]

Hiccup Haddock.

[ IMMEDIATELY. yes, her fiance is the first person she wants to find. the other dragon riders are.........

uh

questionably useful sometimes? ]

He'd be with a black dragon. Toothless?
