Event Sixteen.

[awashmods]

Pity the poor step-sister those big feet she’ll never stuff in a size-six sonnet, her flesh so fulsome the slipper seems effete, unworthy of the labor spent on it.

t's yet another day in which a bunch of characters ended up in the bottom of the well. That sucks. Of course, when you get up and start heading over to see if they're getting out of the well okay... you might find that it's a lot harder than expected. Thanks to that new ball gown, or the rags you've been put in, or your new coat of fur, or the puppets, trying to drag you right into a totally different adventure. You're the one starring in a fairy tale now, and it's not an easy life to live. It's just a little distracting, probably. But don't forget the poor newbies at the bottom of the well, standing in freezing cold water (and don't worry, the puppets will go down into the well to grab you too). Welcome to Awash's sixteenth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to make your own logs and posts for this event! If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

...right.

[He's...definitely going to try to do that. But a small part of him (that sounds suspiciously like Strickler) wondered what if that's not enough?

But that was one insecurity he didn't want to really talk about right now, so...let's ignore it for now!]

I'll just have to do better. Thanks.

This teacher thinks you have been doing very well.

[ With what shit help that he's been given by his elders. Holy fuck, you've been doing great. ]

But you are welcome.

[He has an expression for a moment like he might cry because like....he hasn't even mentioned all the ways he screwed up...and screwed up badly. It wasn't any easier to take that sort of compliment when it comes from Blinky who did know what he did but this was....

Yeah.

He clears his throat.]

I...yeah. I mean...thanks. Again. Because I already thanked you...but hey, can't thank someone too many times, right?

[ His heart clenches just a little to see how close he is to crying. It resolves his feelings that if anyone from the boy's world comes that is even partially responsible, they are going to have words. FUCK WORDS! I'm gonna be swinging on sight! ON SIGHT!!

He keeps his anger off his face and instead continues to smile. ]

You can't. And I thank you for sharing all of this with me. I thank you for trusting this teacher to hear your story and your worries. You've done me a great service, Jim Lakes.

[Don't punch them, man. Most of them are made of rock.]

Well, thanks for believing me. I'm pretty sure most people would have thought I was going crazy.

[ HE GOT A CANNON FOR AN ARM! IT'S FINE. ]

There are many things in this world that are beyond comprehension, but that does not mean that they are not possible.

[sonofbarbara]

Guess not. This place is sort of proof of that.

[Because this place is so out there he doesn't think anyone would believe him if he told people about it...]
