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!

[Deku jumps at the laugh, but settles quickly once he's getting pet.]

Wasn't that obvious already?

[hypertoxic]

[ Another laugh. ]

What, are you like, offended? Hahahaha. Don't worry, it is pretty fucking obvious. It's just ...

[ A shrug, and Vriska smiles down at the cat instead. There's a small piece of wistful thoughtfulness in her. ]

It's sweet.

[glaciers]

Good. I'd like everybody to know we're both taken.

[Shouto, you're being weird. The cat just purrs and stretches before flopping back down. ]

Izuku is too, it might have rubbed off a little.

[hypertoxic]

[ Vriska's smile twitches up into a smirk. Deku continues to get pets, but the way Vriska watches Shouto is knowing. ]

Izuku is what too, sweet or openly possessive?

[ she sees you, dude. ]

[glaciers]

Sweet. I'm the jealous one.

[At least as far as he's realized.]

1/2

[hypertoxic]

[hypertoxic]

Does it hurt? Being so literal.

[glaciers]

No. Do you think it's supposed to?

[hypertoxic]

[ stares at him narrowly. ]

You know, now I can't tell if you're fucking with me.

[glaciers]

[Shouto's expression doesn't change at all. He just calmly stares back at Vriska.]

You can chose.

[hypertoxic]

I will come over there, [ she drawls, ] and you will regret it if I do, wiseass.

[glaciers]

I'm waiting.

[What self preservation instinct.]

[hypertoxic]

[ If anything, her eyes narrow further.

At that exact moment, in a stroke of awful luck, Shouto will find a spider falling from the ceiling directly onto his head. Wow. How random and unfortunate! ]

[glaciers]

[Vriska also has a cat in her lap. A cat who loves to chase little things.

So as soon as the spider drops, Deku's jumping for Shouto's face. Shouto, who was not expecting any of this, ends up sprawled on his back as the housecat goes for his newest toy.]

[hypertoxic]

[ And meanwhile here's Vriska, cackling her head off, actually rolling around with laughter.

This is what you get, punk!!!! ]

[glaciers]

[Why is the world so cruel.

He just lies there while Deku continues to chase down and murder the spider.]

[hypertoxic]

[ Still laughing, Vriska will sit up and gesture loosely with a hand. The spider, fortunately for Shouto, will flee, with Deku chasing after it. ]

You ok over there?

[glaciers]

I'll live through it.

[He shifts a bit so he's comfortably laying down.]

[hypertoxic]

Hopefully you've learned the consequences of trying my patience, [ she says with a sort of grandiloquence, but she only ends up laughing at herself. ]

I'll have to stay on my toes around you from now on. Who knows when you'll hit me with an actual joke. I might die of shock.
