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!

... But this isn't ordinary ice. It would've melted under my magic... What other explanation can there be, if it's not the town's creation?

[Her voice begins to become quieter, a true sign of her fear.]

[retrobeats]

I dunno... something from the forest maybe. There's all kinds of messed up stuff in there.

[ he doesn't sound entirely sure of that theory himself. it could be... or it could be exactly like she's saying. ]

If magic isn't gonna cut it, maybe we need-- I dunno, anti-magic?

[troubadamsel]

... And what in the world would that be?!

[What gibberish is this????]

[retrobeats]

I dunno, I was just thinking out loud! Something that could cancel out magic. If that exists I mean.

[ it might exist!!! ]

[troubadamsel]

I've never heard of anything like that!

[is this helping, the yelling]

[retrobeats]

You don't have to yell about it! [ he yells, complete with exasperated throwing out of hands...! before realising that he, too, is yelling. oops.

he lets out a heavy, round whoosh of breath before pushing his hat backwards slightly. ]

Look, I was just thinking that we got a ton of people from all kinds of worlds here, so just maybe there could be someone in town with anti-magic powers. I mean, had you heard of computers existing before you got here?

[troubadamsel]

... No, I hadn't.

[But he raises a good point.]

... Then we cannot afford to waste time here. We must begin a search for a person with those abilities!

[retrobeats]

--Right, sure!

[ oh wow that took less talking than he thought it was gonna-- ]

Man, this is one of those times when I really miss having a cell phone signal.

[troubadamsel]

Remind me at a calmer time to ask whatever that's supposed to be.

[retrobeats]

TL;DR, something that'd make searching for someone with anti-magic way quicker and easier. [ sigh... ] Guess we got no choice except doing this on foot, though.

[troubadamsel]

Let's meet up later and try again. Check on your computer to see if anyone else is talking about this.

... And take care of yourself.
