Event Nineteen.

[awashmods]

Shall I compare thee to a blasting hot stove? Thou art more scary and more perilous; As thou sit above thy towering treasure trove, Thy breath is bad and thy voice garrulous.

t's yet another day in which a bunch of people ended up in the bottom of the well. It's very, very cold down there, though spring is at least slowly starting to make itself known -- But the people in the Town who would usually come save you might be a little distracted today by the glimmer of scales on the ground, and the unfortunate side effects that come along with them. Don't worry, friends in the well -- as soon as you haul yourself out via magic powers or that convenient rope ladder dangling down into the water, you too can join in the chaos of picking up those sparkly, pretty scales. Welcome to Awash's Nineteenth 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!

[A blank blink.]

... Wait, hang on, are you doing this to everyone?

[tosa]

( LOOKING PARTICULARLY PROUD RIGHT NOW, )

Yeah!

( Because? There's nothing wrong with that. )

[messianic]

[Minato wrestles with..... a few responses.... before he finally settles on:]

... Sorry, but... why?

[tosa]

'Cause I want you to, that's why.

( That's it. That's all the reason he needs. )

I just wanna get everyone together in one place! But everyone keeps wandering off even after I tell 'em to stay.

[messianic]

[... well. Can't argue with that logic.]

... That's probably because it's kind of boring to just stand here like this.

[tosa]

( This is... this is true. And he realizes this now. He's quiet for a moment, really thinking about how he can address this problem. )

Hm... what if I take ya with me? And we can get more people together.

[messianic]

[Standing in the middle of nowhere, or going and watching Mutsu try to wrangle people because he feels like it... well, Minato knows what sounds more interesting to him.]

Sure, I'd like that. I'll come along then, if you don't think I'll be in the way.

[tosa]

( Minato is a boy with good taste for trouble. )

Nah.... it's probably best. 'Cause then I can make sure you don't wander off like all the others too. ( But he's just going to sort of... loop his arm with Minato's and start dragging him off, ) Alright, let's go find more people to get together.

( For no reason other than the fact that... he wants to. )

[messianic]

[Oh.... oh okay, off they go again. Minato's gotten used to people invading his personal space, at least, so this doesn't seem to surprise him.]

Huh... are we looking for any people in particular, or just people you think won't run off?

[tosa]

Anyone's good!

( Really, he's not picky. )

I just wanna get a bunch of people together as much as possible, ya know? If they run off... I guess I'll just chase 'em down.

[messianic]

[... w...why.]

So you're...chasing people down and hoarding them? For some reason? You know that sounds kind of strange, right..?
