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!

Exactly! Impressive, isn't it? There is no accounting for the taste of others, I suppose.

[ The lion lets out the animal equivalent of an eyeroll, and Nero pulls her hand away from it. ]

[scooptimistic]

True enough... well, I'm glad this one isn't holding any grudges for a relative.

[ Even if it seems exasperated. ]

[neronian]

[ And so is Nero, even if she's confident that she could take it on in case Maya needed to be defended from a ravenous lion. She nods. ]

As wonderfully majestic and fluffy this creature is, I do not think it holds the key to the exit. Shall we move on?

[scooptimistic]

Let's!

[ With a last pet to the lion, Maya shifts back to her feet. ]

Any particular direction you're feeling?

[neronian]

[ Nero pauses for a moment as she thinks. ]

Hm, we have exhausted the rooms on this floor, and the floor above, so I suppose the only way left is down to the ground floor.

[ Or maybe they're tackling this the wrong way. ]

[scooptimistic]

Ground floor it is!

[ Look, Maya is trying to puzzle this out, but for the time being, exploring the unexplored can't possibly be a bad idea, right? ]

[neronian]

[ Of course not!! Not when she has the bestest Saber by her side (the best by virtue of being the only Saber in town). Nero hums to herself, badly, as she strolls with Maya down the steps. ]

What do you think of my theater so far? Lovely, no?

[scooptimistic]

It's about as dramatic and grand as you, which honestly makes sense to me.

[ Since this is Nero's heart and all. ]
