Event Seventeen.

[awashmods]

I went to the wood and got it; I sat me down to look for it And brought it home because I couldn’t find it.

he magical vines creep ever onward, slowly infringing upon the Town. No matter how many are chopped down, no matter how many are set on fire, they keep coming even so. And slowly, one by one, the people in the Town start to fall to the curse that they bring along with them. Stay and tend to the cursed? Venture out into the woods to find the castle at the source of these vines? Whatever you choose to do, you'd better decide quickly; the curse only seems to get worse and worse the longer everyone is afflicted. Welcome to Awash's seventeenth event log, everyone!

[Yeah, he appreciates the thought, he really does--

He just...yawns quietly when Dextera approaches, eyes sliding shut for a moment before he...jerks himself back up again.]

Oh.

[... He rubs at an eye.]

'Sokay... just tired.

[passio]

I can… tell.

[ it’s not all that different from how minato usually looks, except that he’s openly yawning and looks to be nodding off right here, in public.

he does at least extinguish his hands, for now. ]

Should you be out?

[messianic]

[The answer to that question is "no", but...]

Well... people are having trouble, right? So I have to try to do what I can to help.

[He... sighs, frowning at the thorns creeping slowly across their path.]

This is troublesome, though.

[passio]

Aren’t you one of the people having trouble?

[ dextera has a potion that seems perfect for this very purpose, but it seems a little suspicious to invite minato to drink even a clearly-labeled vial of demon blood.

he turns to look at the thorns. ]

Did you touch them?

[messianic]

I guess...?

[He seems more confused than otherwise, though.]

I'm positive I was never cut by any of the thorns though.

[And it just hasn't crossed his mind that it could spread.]

I've just been really tired, that's all.

[passio]

…

[ dextera hasn’t figured out that it can spread, per se, but if the town’s previous tricks are anything to go by… ]

People got tired when the Sirens attacked, too. You should be careful.
