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!

[Shiho tries to frown at that chuckle but it probably just isn't very convincing.]

Then... this way. [And if Maribelle doesn't mind, Chibi Shiho has reached out to hold onto the hem of her shirt. Not for very long though, since the door that had been so far before is suddenly right in front of them now.]

[troubadamsel]

[She blinks at the sudden touch, but smiles, affectionately brushes some hair out of Chibi Shiho's face, and then follows Standard Shiho to the door.

She doesn't speak a word, but that smile says volumes.]

[Chibi Shiho does look happy, leaning into it a little in the way that a small child might if no one is ever willing to come close to her, much less brush her hair back like she's a normal child.


It's cute, Standard Shiho thinks. It's nice to see herself being treated like a normal little girl and she smiles to herself as they come up to the door probably much too quickly. And in that moment, Chibi Shiho takes a step past them both to reach up and open it for them, looking back with a hopeful expression. This time, it's Shiho who reaches out to touch her younger self on the head.]

It'll be okay. [And then... here they are, back in the real world. No Chibi Shiho, no child's room in sight.]

[troubadamsel]

[She sighs a bit in relief. Nice as the experience had been, it's good to know that Chroma is back to normal... Well. Normal for Chroma, anyway.]

... How do you feel?

[good_ideas]

[Shiho tries not to look too embarrassed about all this kindness. She's not the one who had nearly gotten stuck in someone else's heart.]

I'm fine. W-...What about you?

[troubadamsel]

... I'm all right. And I'm glad you are too.

[good_ideas]

Well... so am I. Now don't do dangerous things like that ever again. [Never mind that they couldn't exactly help it.]

[troubadamsel]

[An indignant snort. How very dare?]

I make no promises.

[good_ideas]

[Oh, she dares.]

Is that any way to speak to someone who is just worrying about you?

[troubadamsel]

[ha-ha, you love me.]

First off, the nature of Chroma gives us little choice when it comes to thrusting us into foreign situations.

Second off, if someone I care for is in trouble, I will always move forward.

[good_ideas]

[shhhh!!]

So you're just going to keep living dangerously then, huh. Though I guess that second thing is kind of admirable.

[Because Shiho would do the same for anyone she cares for.]
