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!

[ a rather indelicate snort. ] God, no. If we ever actually meet the fucks who run this place, the first thing I am going to do is critique them for their utter banality. [ hair flick ]

[ after a pause, somehwat musingly: ] You know, I was wondering why the well was such an obnoxious, eye-searing shade of red. I should have guessed Dave was involved. However, I am going to go ahead and make the logical assumption that the well wasn't borderline neon originally, because who the fuck builds a bright red well? Which gives rise to the next question: was doing that really the same as "restoring" color? Why did Mr. F or whoever the hell decide to do it that way?

[ The last two questions are really just musing aloud. ]

[This doesn't surprise him in the least, actually.]

You mean is there a difference between restoring the original color and adding new color to it ourselves? I've been wondering the same thing. This isn't the first time one of the quest rewards was giving color back, but it was the first that we had any idea what we were doing.

I'm also sort of wondering how much Mr. F really has control over what's happening here in the first place.
