Intro Log.





It's raining, it's pouring.
The old man is snoring.
He bumped his head and went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the morning.





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. Oh, and to make things even better, it's raining today. Water from below (though thankfully only like, knee-deep), and water from above... how fun.

But most importantly of all... you're not alone.




Welcome to Awash's second intro log, everyone! Please review the FAQ and rules before playing. New 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. Thankfully, they have some friends on the outside, this time.

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.

Please feel free to ask any questions here and don't forget to greet your fellow players here!

[ Okay, he did agree to go into the woods, but now that he really has a good look at the place, it's giving him the heebie-jeebies. Yes, Josuke dislikes creepy things. It's not something he feels he should be ashamed of. A little caution never hurt anybody.

As Zelda walks, he takes care to stay in front of her in case something were to pop out at them. Eventually, he'll stop her when he thinks they've traveled deep enough. ]


Zelda, this forest is really giving me the creeps. [ Is he scared? No, no way. ] Let's stay in the outskirts, alright? If we go too deep, we might get lost, anyway.

[Bunnies are cute, but this is so confusing. Is this... a riddle...]

So you helped her... save it, right? It wasn't really gone?

[Hmm. The latter option is sad?? Please confirm that the totally real bunny is okay.]

[personal profile] apocalypticist 2018-05-20 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm inclined to believe that the forest caused this in some way, considering the creatures that live out there and the fact that the forest itself appears to be sentient. [ a theory isn't reliable without evidence, but in the absence of evidence he feels like this theory is the most sound. ]

I don't know enough about magic to form an opinion on it, but it's not something I'd rule out.

[ "magic" is so vague though, he prefers what can be explained with reason and scientific fact. ]

Oh? Well, alright, if you feel that way.

[ on the other hand, zelda has no qualms or fears on her face. yes the forest is dangerous she has heard, and monsters dwell, but it isn't any different from when she was traveling hyrule all alone. of course link was there to protect her, and he had saved her life on a good couple occasions, but she had to learn how to not be afraid in the face of peril and destruction. she was all alone when she did.

but that's neither here nor there and she stops when josuke requests her to because he is doing her a favor by embarking on this odd quest.
]

Alright, we need to gather wood now. I suggest we find a means to break off branches from thin trees and start there. Now, you said you had a means to do this?
bloodcravings: (maybe slightly curious)

[personal profile] bloodcravings 2018-05-20 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[There's no way he misses the way the eyes are giving away Caramia's thoughts behind the smile. Though he doesn't see any reason to point that out and just silently lets the other deal with the idea about a horrible world out there somewhere.]

It is what it is. [He can't change it not even if he stood alongside the others against the whole world of vampires.

Instead he's more interested in learning more about this world and the dangers it hold, so Mika listens quietly while holding all of his questions until the end. He isn't bothered by the choice of language - Yuu tends to curse and doesn't apologize for it.]


Have you found something that hurts the shadows or did you simply find a way of escaping them?

[Ogres and minotaurs - even Horsemen like what might be in his world are all something he won't have much problem with. So the shadows are the most important to ask about.]

That's absolutely what they're called. And yeah, it's just easiest around here when I have to do all my own laundry...

Anyway. Come in and come on up - I have furniture up on the roof too.

[Ah... wait... He sits up- and stays sitting there on the floor- but hold on!]

No, that's the one I meant! With the circles, and everything! [He even helpfully draws a circle with his finger in the air, for emphasis. It's definitely the old arts thing!!]
bloodcravings: (vague answers)

[personal profile] bloodcravings 2018-05-20 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[It's true, Mika's having a terrible day and spending time around Guren is not helping that at all. Waking up waterlogged, surrounded by a bunch of people, being here without Yuu and then being harassed with a bunch of human strangers all after having been riled up by both Guren and Ferid back home is not putting him in even the best of his bad moods.]

Fine, tomorrow then.

[He once again turns towards the forest and leaves the man behind without another look back, strolling leisurely - taking his time.]
bloodcravings: (what terrifying loyalty)

[personal profile] bloodcravings 2018-05-20 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Not interested.

[His tone is flat. Mika is so beyond interested in making friends.]
bloodcravings: (dear god you're stupid)

[personal profile] bloodcravings 2018-05-20 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[....

Seriously? Mika stares, the expression on his face is one that clearly states that he isn't impressed.]


You encountered a strange woman in the forest and agreed to have your fortune told.

[It isn't a question.]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Who would trust something like that?
eusford: (pic#11592013)

[personal profile] eusford 2018-05-20 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
That's asking for a lot.

[ From beginning to end.

The request--or rather, the order--to treat these individuals with a little more decency than he would others is expected, however, but foolish. Eight hundred years were spent adjusting to into acknowledging the selfishness of humans and their hypocrisy for judging a vampire's way of life, so a sudden change isn't going to happen over night. Not even when there's a proposal as delicious as knowing he would have his own personal blood bank.

But then again... this way is easier, and Crowley is much more accepting of what comes easily. ]


It's just our way of life, if livestock have a problem with it... well, you already know how that goes. [ He doesn't hesitate to extend a hand, pushing it against Guren's shoulder and basically shoving him against the bookshelf. Towering over the human his crimson eyes seem to gleam with mild entertainment, the corners of his mouth curled into a pleasantly terrifying smile. ] Or do you just miss having someone who'll depend on you?

[ Because he doesn't want to believe that this was a decision made selflessly; much more willing to believe that it's done with the want to be needed. It sounds much more human, to him, after all. ]

[ She hasn't had her hand held in so long, it's like a jolt of electricity. Aqua starts, then calms herself after a breath. ]

No--you don't need to apologize, and I certainly don't think you're dumb. [ Which is an odd thing to say, she realizes, if he's truly forgotten her. ] I'm Aqua.

[Mafuyu!! They're going to have to set some household rules when they find out she's here to stay, but as that is still a Mystery... Ochako just takes a breath before heading for the kitchen.]

H-Hold on a second, okay?

[More like a minute, really, but let's not get picky! Soon enough she's back with two clean, grey towels, and she takes them directly to her sopping wet guest. Please, please take them and make use of them.]

You don't have to rush. You're, new here, aren't you? [It's so obvious, but she still has to ask.] Has anyone actually explained anything to you?
bloodcravings: (feeling uncertain)

[personal profile] bloodcravings 2018-05-20 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He has no idea what kind of guy this is. Maybe this dude with the weird hair will be mean to the frog.

While the other goes and searches for something to put the frog in, Mika turns it so that its looking at him. It croaks and the teen blinks back at it - before lifting a hand to pull off the glove of one hand with his teeth.

When Josuke comes back, he's touching the frog with his bare finger gently. Almost as if petting it. After the fish bowl is held out, Mika shifts to place the frog inside of it just as gently. Even if Mika doesn't trust humans or even other vampires, he has no reason to give the same treatment to the little creature.]


You'll have to put your hand over the opening or find a rock to cover most of it with.

[ (you voice) crowley oh my fucking god ]

Well there's a bed. Or a coffin, preferably, for my folk, just something more comfortable and a little less wet. [ The list literally goes on? He's making a mental one as he makes some attempt at helping but putting the remaining books away, releasing a small breath as he finally straightens his legs once more. ]

See! You guys already had it better than us, do they just have a thing against vampires?

[ R-- I'm kidding ]

But that's a little helpful... so it's been consistent that newcomers appear in that well?
asano_san: (accusing)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-05-20 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
No!

OK, I guess the natural order one works.

But if fish can rain down on us, then that means you're not even safe from the things that are usually impossible!

[He has some experience with this. Just replace fish with soul-eating monsters he could suddenly see in the sky.]
pursestrings: (i didn't stop tagging to make this)

[personal profile] pursestrings 2018-05-20 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Dave's pretty cool, yeah... [Dave thinks he's cute? Everyone loves Okuyasu in this town, Josuke.] And he doesn't just grow stuff for himself...

[But okay, okay, point - they'll get to what their Stands can do in a second, knowing full well that only Crazy Diamond can do anything productive, because come on? The void?]

Ochako showed me how to fish, kinda, if you count throwing a net.
eusford: (pic#10686758)

[personal profile] eusford 2018-05-20 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
A sentient forest? [ That manages to grab at his interest, but fortunately he doesn't make a sudden move to see it for himself. If it's dangerous then it could be fun but simultaneously he isn't exactly in the mood to put himself into a questionable situation while in the rain.

It's already bad enough that he's here. ]


So how exactly are you guys finding any information about this town? The people here seem... out of it, if you catch my drift.

[His back hits the bookshelf but his face doesn't falter. The way his heart rate spikes might give away more than he'd like, but he still won't give up on the serious expression he's giving Crowley. He's in no place to make demands. Crowley could mop the floor with him in most cases, he's sure, even if he had a very elaborate plan— and he knows it's a risk to bring this up at all.

The worst case would be encouraging Crowley to bug others more with this. The best case would be supplying him with his own blood to satisfy any urges, and Crowley feeling fine with just that for one weird reason or another. Middle of the line he'd even take, which is supplying him blood and dealing with whatever cases come from his boredom. But he doesn't want panic, and he doesn't want a problem.]


It's not that. [Firmly, his eyes focused on Crowley's.] Our numbers are limited here. We're working on finding a way home. Having blood supplied for you should only be a benefit.

What's so difficult about that?

[ Japan or anywhere familiar. Even in a world where the sea had gone red and poisonous, littered with horsemen, nothing overseas came close to their current location. But that of course brings more questions than it does answers, resulting to a mild sense of annoyance to settle in the back of Crowley's head. ]

This is far beyond whatever Ferid can do, even if it seems like one of his awful tricks.

[ And that fact alone means they're in some Deep Shit. ]

... Only that far?

[personal profile] moochobliged 2018-05-20 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, for sure, very good. He considers this... threat... then climbs all the way in anyway.]

Food is food! What are we having?

[personal profile] moochobliged 2018-05-20 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Go into the forest... and run until I get to the other side.
eusford: (Default)

[personal profile] eusford 2018-05-20 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ That doesn't sound entirely odd, but considering Crowley's history of receiving news this is possibly the most relaxed he's been since everything doing a complete one-eighty. ]

And where exactly is here? [ He gives the younger one a quick once over from head to toe, taking note of his clothing and overall stature. ] I'm just going to take a wild guess and say this isn't Japan.
nipzips: (like black holes in the sky)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-20 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Is this an AU where Okuyasu gets the love he was born to have? Yes. He doesn't know who Ochako is but, he probably will ... soon. ]

Really? That's pretty useful. Now I wish I paid attention when my Grandpa would take me on those boring fishing trips ... [ RIP Officer Higashikata. Who knew that old people hobbies would come useful at a time like this? Oh well, he can probably have Crazy Diamond ... punch the fish. ]

So ... how'd the fish taste in the end? [ Dreading the answer. ]

One is obviously a lot more louder in volume in comparison to the other. [ There's no reason for him to be technical, especially when half of him is willing to admit that, yes, his own actions don't exactly fit his narrative.

But rather than argue he decides to take this opportunity to gather information he obviously doesn't need from Goldilocks and the Three Bears. He appears interested, expression shifting to something much more friendly and approaching in terms of what it was previously. ]


Oh? And what exactly have you guys managed to find out?
