Event Thirteen.





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!

[Now they are both flustered together, which is very fitting.]

I... I was serious too.

[A pause...and then he huffs out an amused (embarrassed) breath.]

... I think we're both really embarrassed now, aren't we?
good_ideas: (geez || I need air freshener)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-12-26 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

[Shiho's mouth twitches into a smile despite her embarrassment.]

I've found that happens a lot when I'm with you. [But she doesn't actually dislike it.]
messianic: (when you are dead.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-12-28 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... me too.

[He looks way too fond, too, despite everything.]

But I'm not surprised you're good at flustering people. You're Shiho-chan.
good_ideas: (geez || kinda worried. maybe. sorta.)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-12-29 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Looking so fond should be against the rules and she'd call him out on it if she didn't already like it way too much.]

Well... of course. [Still, she's blushing when she says it because while she knows she's cute and that her psychometry gives her an edge, there's something about hearing him tell her so that has her looking away briefly again.]

....And you're way too good at flustering people yourself, Minato-kun. [There's something about his sincerity coupled with everything he says that just destroys her every single time.]
messianic: (A fire of pale desire in incompleteness)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-12-30 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He's pretty sure her cute blushing should be against the rules too, but here they are...!!

It's fine.

He can't deny that he's a little pleased, but part of that? Is because after all of that mirror nonsense, they somehow managed to spin something positive about the situation.]


I think you're overestimating me a little. All I'm doing is telling you the truth, you know?
good_ideas: (geez || I need air freshener)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-12-31 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[It's fine, everything's fine.

He sounds pleased and despite it all, Shiho can't help smiling a little herself. Thanks, Mr. F??]



And you're underestimating yourself. Being able to tell the truth just like it's nothing makes you really dangerous, you know? [She's kind of in danger herself.... (which is a lie because it's too late for her at this point)]

messianic: (of plaintive sweetness)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-12-31 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Is that right...?

[Well he supposes he can kind of see what she means, but when she puts it like that... he has to point out:]

But I think for the people who can't say things like that so easily... it just makes them even more precious when they do.

[Like Shiho.]
good_ideas: (geez || I need air freshener)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-12-31 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now she wishes she was holding his hand when he said that. Does he think she's precious then? Or is it just a general thing about anyone who had difficulty being truthful?

She's blushing, mouth turned down in a pout.]
You're doing it again, Minato-kun.
messianic: (Therefore my soul melts)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-01 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[What Minato says is:]

Oops. I'll have to keep that in mind.

[But there's a definite teasing lilt to his mouth and tone, so he's definitely not actually that sheepish over it.

Maybe he just thinks Shiho is really cute when she's flustered like this...!!]
good_ideas: (geez || I need air freshener)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2019-01-01 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[At least she doesn't need psychometry to see that quirk of his mouth or that amused tone in his voice. It doesn't help the blushing at all though.]

Keep it in mind so you can do it more often? [But she can't manage to sound too stern. It's... nice to hear that she's precious to him.]
messianic: (As man's hope of light)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-01 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[HM.

HMMM...

Minato hums contemplatively, more for show than anything, and then settles on:]


I'll keep the answer to that a mystery, I think. [Which just makes it obvious, really, that yes he'd like to tease her more.]
good_ideas: (evil || now everyone knows)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2019-01-01 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shiho actually tries for some semblance of patience as he hums, if patience was her trying not to smile.]

A mystery? When I'm a psychometer? [Never mind that it's obvious he intends to tease her with this.]
messianic: (Our eyes to heaven; if we are blind;)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-01 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You know...

[Minato flashes her a smile in return.]

... Maybe I like that you know what I'm thinking without me having to say it.

[It's definitely something he thinks is pretty special to their relationship.]
good_ideas: (smile || for the days gone by)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2019-01-01 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's too late now, she's lost and can't help smiling.]

...I think you're the second person who has ever told me that. [The first was, of course, a five-year-old Kaoru.

Her powers were always something useful, convenient, cool, terrifying. When people told her they didn't mind if she could read them... she couldn't help but love them at least a little bit.

No one has ever told her that they liked the fact that she could read their thoughts and just... knowing he thought it makes something warm and bright well up in her chest.]
messianic: (As man's hope of light)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-02 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
The second, huh...?

[He wonders who the first was--if he had to take a stab, he'd guess Kaoru or Minamoto, but he's really not sure. It's not that important, though; Shiho will tell him if she wants to.

Either way...]


It's kind of like a thing just for us that way, isn't it? Like nobody would even know that we're always on the same page.
good_ideas: (smile || for the days gone by)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2019-01-02 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[To answer his question first:] The first was Kaoru-chan back when we were both kids.

[Minamoto has never told her something like that. To him, her powers are a gift, something that made her wonderful. But he still has his secrets and while he doesn't mind which is already so much, she knows there are still things he didn't want her to know. But...]

When you put it like that... it sounds really nice. Like our own little secret. [She's never thought about her own powers like that. She's never thought... anyone else would think about her powers like that.]
messianic: (A fire of pale desire in incompleteness)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-02 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, Kaoru... Minato smiles at that. After all, it just raises his opinion of Kaoru even higher. What a sincerely good person she's always been.]

That sounds like Kaoru-san. I'm somehow not even surprised.

[Still, even more importantly:]

Yeah, exactly. When I think about it like that... it's just even more exciting. It's something that's all our own.
good_ideas: (happy || with my friends)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2019-01-02 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shiho has to hide another smile again, choosing to talk about Kaoru first because it's the simplest thing to think about right now.]

She's been like that ever since she was a little kid. [And has somehow managed to stay that way... it's amazing.]

Well... then I guess I'll allow it. But not too often though because it's embarrassing. [...though really she already knows she'd let him speak to her through psychometry whenever he wanted. It makes him happy and it makes her happy so it all works out well, she thinks.]
messianic: (to reach the next station ahead of me.)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-03 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Not too often, huh...?

[That amuses him, it's true. He knows that for Shiho, using that would be as easy as breathing, so the thought that she'd avoid speaking that way too often because it's embarrassing is...honestly really cute.]

I guess I'll just have to make those moments that we do talk that way really count then, huh?
good_ideas: (smile || for the days gone by)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2019-01-03 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Sometimes she wishes it weren't quite so easy for her to just read someone with psychometry. But knowing he liked it has her feeling just a little bit happier, a little bit warmer.]

You can't say something like that and not tell me what you're planning on doing, you know.
messianic: (when you said you missed me.)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-03 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He could keep teasing her and tell her it's a secret, but in the end...

He just shakes his head, expression fond.]


Honestly? I don't know what I'm planning on doing. I just...really like the idea.

I like the idea that I can reach out and hold your hand and talk to you about anything. That if I want to be embarrassing only for you to hear, I can do that. Or we could share secret plans, too. Anything, really.
good_ideas: (geez || kinda worried. maybe. sorta.)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2019-01-03 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[She is officially Very Embarrassed now, Minato. Good job. One of her hands comes up, the back of it pressed against her face as if that would somehow hide how red she's gone.]

...You really...

[How does he say stuff like that without blushing??]

....You really do have it all planned out already, huh.
messianic: (Our eyes to heaven; if we are blind;)

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-03 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's probably giving me too much credit to say I have it all planned out...

[He smiles a little, shaking his head.]

Those are just what popped into my head immediately. [IS THAT BETTER OR WORSE.]
good_ideas: (geez || kinda worried. maybe. sorta.)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2019-01-03 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
...you’re going to do them though, aren’t you? [And she’s not sure if she’s looking forward to it or just very embarrassed about it.

(Or both.)]
messianic: (when you drew breath?")

[personal profile] messianic 2019-01-04 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely.

[Without shame...!!!]

How could I ever miss an opportunity like this?

[It sounds like way too much fun to him.]
