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!

[SENSIBLE... mcgillis is truly sensible for someone who just climbed out of the well and has blood on him.]

If it's not dangerous, then there's no point in doing it. [Okuni says with a lot of confidence for someone who didn't actually figure out anything in the well.] What would you be willing to do to go back home?

[she pauses... and looks at the blood on him,]

If you wanted to.

[maybe MCGILLIS DOESN'T WANT TO GO BACK!!!]

[He tries his best to be as frustratingly sensible as possible!

She's so considerate, though. (And surprisingly observant for someone who slept in a well?) Still, he responds casually, as if there aren't certain implications to her pause.]

Oh, it's not that I think you shouldn't take any risks at all. It's more that I'm sure there are probably better ways of understanding how the well works. [And ones more likely to yield results... But You Know...] Perhaps a good compromise between your ideas would be to take it apart.

[Less dangerous than explosions and less ??? than sleeping in it.]

[osuni]

[Okuni draws herself up to give him a Look at this supreme confidence that she can't see why he has... Maybe he's just one of those types of people who are Born with It.]

How would you take the well apart without blowing it up?

[RIDDLE HER THIS, MCGILLIS]

[mcskittles]

[...he should probably just accept this as a lost cause. And, well(!), that's fine with him, too.

And so, he tosses logic out the window.]

Well, this place is quite unusual, isn't it? Perhaps one could use magic.
