Intro Log -- Overflow.

[awashmods]

Ding, dong, bell, Pussy's in the well. Who put her in? Little Johnny Thin. Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. What a naughty boy was that, To try to drown poor pussy cat, Who never did him any harm, But killed all the mice in the farmer's barn.

ou wake in knee-deep water, cold as ice and stagnant, in a space that is far too echoey and spacious. It feels like a massive cave, but looking up... there's only one small, circular opening that shows grey sky and shines any sort of light. It looks like a long trip upwards, a small cylinder with walls of brick that's just a little too high to reach, even when jumping. Getting out is probably going to be a bit of a task, especially considering the water is more than cold enough to make limbs go numb. The dark makes it impossible to see much further, but the space seems large, all filled with water, but with no other way out, stone walls the only thing for an intrepid explorer to find. But most importantly of all... you're not alone. Welcome to Awash's first intro log, everyone! This is the overflow log for the Original Intro Log. Please review the FAQ and rules before playing. Characters have all woken at the bottom of the well in the middle of the town (which seems a lot bigger on the inside, somehow), and it looks like they'll have to put in some work to get out. Once out, they'll be free to explore the various locations the Town has to offer at will. Just try not to die on any of the far-too-rickety walkways. Further information can be found here at the OOC post, and don't forget to greet your fellow players here!

[Ochako slows her pace, dropping back to walk side-by-side with him. She only just met this boy, it's true, and that means this might backfire entirely, but she's simply far too kind-hearted to not at least try to offer him some comfort.]

I'm sorry. It must be-- ["Awful" doesn't even begin to cover it?] Well, it can't be easy. But even though it's rough right now, you still care for him, don't you? And I'm willing to bet that he still cares for you, too. Things can turn around! It may take some time, and you both might have to make an effort, but... I think it's important to stay hopeful.

Of course I do! He's my little brother! Hell, he's the only family I've got left.

[Did Yukio feel that way at all, though?]

I just... I'unno what he's plannin'. If he didn't wanna come with me then where was he gonna go? There's a lotta stuff I just don't have answers for right now.

[thriftea]

[He didn't snap at her, at least? That's a good sign, right? She's just going to keep on with it, then!]

That just gives us more motivation to look for him. And if he isn't here, then that just gives us more motivation to find a way home! Either way, things will be okay. You'll definitely find your brother, and then you guys can have a real heart-to-heart.

[Cheer up, Rin...!]

[satanslash]

[Even if he wanted to, he was too mentally strained to even consider it. But he didn't want to snap at her, especially when she was trying so hard to help him.]

Heh. Have'ta lock the two of us in a room for that, but at this point I'm willin' to go that far.

[He's trying!]

... thanks.
