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!

Oh, um! Don’t take my word for it though! I haven’t been here that long after all, and it’s just something I think I heard, and I might be remembering wrong, it’s not like my memory is perfect!

[ Jion immediately looks a little fretful at John’s surprise, flapping a hand in denial. ]

But I mean ... I think it would make sense, though. It’s not as if everyone can always get along with everyone, that’s just not how things work out. Some people just have to clash. And if the town’s just sucking up people from all over the place, I think it would be really unfair if it expected everyone to always agree. ... although I guess that’s me working under the assumption that things here are supposed to be fair. Hm.

[He raises an eyebrow.] Dude, it's okay. Even if you are misremembering it isn't a bad thing to think about. Maybe it really does actually mean something.

I doubt things are supposed to be fair, you're right, but I do sort of wonder if the town wants to challenge us by making us figure out how to get along and agree and be united instead of...you know. Being ourselves. It would explain a lot about the nature of the quests and stuff that happens here.
