Event Eighteen.

[awashmods]

Who told you so, dilly dilly, Who told you so? ‘Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, That told me so.

ouch is one of the most intimate, romantic ways to be close to someone else. The Town knows this very well -- the Town wants everyone to be as close as possible. Perhaps that's why this bonding is so...aggressive. Because you're in for quite the shock on this otherwise peaceful day when you brush against the next person on your path. Maybe you're going out of your way to touch people. Maybe you've got a terrible urge to just see what's lurking in someone's heart. Maybe you trip over a conveniently placed rock -- whatever the cause, you're getting an up close and personal look into someone else's heart. Welcome to Awash's eighteenth 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!

... I won't pry, if you don't wish me to. Privacy is one of the last rights this place continues to take from us.

[scooptimistic]

Thanks, Maribelle.

... Either way, I think we're going to have to haul ourselves through it. It doesn't look like I can access any other part of the city, just the shrine.

[ How very convenient. ]

[troubadamsel]

... Very well. Shall we get going, or do you need a moment?

[scooptimistic]

No, I'm fine. Let's head on in!

[ Everything is Fine, and to prove it, she'll start heading for the shrine herself. ]

[troubadamsel]

All right. Let's stick together.

[Onward! She follows Maya diligently!]

[scooptimistic]

[ It looks like your average shrine once you enter, and Maya exhales quietly, smile a tinge relieved. ]

So far, so normal. I'm not really sure what I expected, though.

[troubadamsel]

[She's rather relieved too.]

Maybe this will turn out to be one of the town's more calm events...?

[scooptimistic]

Do you think so? How many of these have you been dragged into, Maribelle?

[troubadamsel]

... I've been here for nearly a year now. That's a lot of time for this sort of insanity.

[scooptimistic]

... It's really been that long?

[ That's... something, and she's wrinkling her nose. ]

[troubadamsel]

Yes... I was part of the second group that arrived.

[Which means, technically, there are some who have been here longer.]

[scooptimistic]

I wonder just how long this town will try to keep us here.

[ It's quiet as she walks, as though her heart's still at peace. ]

[troubadamsel]

Until it's fully restored, I would guess... That appears to be the reason we were brought here in the first place.

[scooptimistic]

Understandably... it just means we'll have to throw ourselves into things even harder.

[troubadamsel]

I thought we were already trying as hard as we could already!
