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!

That must have been a relief.

[If Yuu had been in the well with him, Mika wouldn't be having such a horrible day. But it seems as if people show up in the same place.]

Perhaps but it won't help if we don't consider that it might be random selection as well.

Sora, I'm not a house cat. Just because I haven't been my own person in a while doesn't mean I can't do it.

[Roxas huffs softly. Don't be like that, Sora.]

Maybe. I can summon my Keyblades, but I haven't tried anything else... have you?

How? We can't just make color—-

[ oh? oh but maybe they can? Mafuyu stops short and grabs for the backpack she's got and- pours out half a gallon of well water first- digs around for her pencil case, finding a handful of pens in blues and reds and blacks.

Super fine point pens. ]


Here. It'll take a while, so we should get started.
bloodcravings: (waiting for answers)

I work better alone.

[That's the truth when he has to work with other vampires. It would be a different story if Yuu was here making him work with others.]

[Let's try again. He doesn't answer Minato's question right away, but.]

What about demigod?
buncho: (085)

[personal profile] buncho 2018-05-22 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
...Sounds reasonable.

[ Damn it, she hates that it sounds reasonable. ]

It's not like I'm going out making trouble or whatever, okay? Just saying. [ If it happens (and it will), then it happens, but she's always been the person to jump into trouble she sees rather than causing it in the first place, so at the very very least, she wants Guren to not feel like he needs to keep an eye on her, because that would be such a pain to deal with. ]
hydrokinetics: (There goes the fighter)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-05-22 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
huh
yeah okay that could work
it'll count as a wish for both of us so that's double the rewards too
but most of my quests aren't that easy
where are you at? I can meet you wherever and we can see what happens

buncho: (039)

[personal profile] buncho 2018-05-22 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
youre just not finding the easiest way to do them
do a hard quest with me sometime and ill show you
anyways im at Ochako's house! cant give you directions bc idk the streets and stuff

["Natural", sure. Though in Japan it's less like a hunt and more like a farm where they raise livestock. Not that Mika considers them livestock but he does feed on them. Usually from willing humans.

He laughs bitterly.]


Humans like to think they're at the top - that nothing exists to hunt and feed on them. That there's nothing stronger, faster and more deadly then them.

So that's how it is...

[He definitely doesn't need Mika's life story for that--honestly, he believes him. How could he not? Not when there's that much pain in his voice, when his feelings are clearly that strong.

...]


I'm sorry... to hear that you've suffered like that. I know it doesn't mean anything, but... I really am.

[He says that much quietly; he has to say something, after all.]
hydrokinetics: (Don't say you think you know)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-05-22 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
you're on
and that works because idk who Ochako is
see you soon


[Is he really venturing off to go trade his shoes for a quest? Yes. Yes he is. It means he'll get to the well and he'll be waiting there until Mafuyu decides to show up.]

You're seeing it too, right?! It's not just me!?! I'm not the only one going blind?!!

[ Because hey!! this is wrong, this is soooo wrong, Mafuyu has to look down at herself and see that it's not everything that's been sapped of color. It's hard to tell, though, because her hair is silver and the school uniform she's wearing is black and white, but Hunk is properly colored and everything so?? ]

Everything looks like an old black and while movie... A silent film! It's just like that!

[ and when she closes her mouth, it really is just like that. There's no sound of cars like she's used to, no incessant chirping of birds, nothing that suggests an inhabited city besides the chattering echoing up from the well. ]

[ Thanks, Mika. A true pal. Though, really, he just feels sorry for Mika more so than anything else. Poor boy, it's no wonder he's so cold. War did shit to kids... Caramia's seen that much first hand. ]

Light will stave them off, but I haven't necessarily heard of anything to hurt them, no. They're stronger at nighttime, too... [ Admittedly, he didn't know too much about them beyond "They almost drowned me". ] It hasn't been a problem for a while, but we also have been only scarcely venturing into the forest.

There's too much in there we don't know about, so we have people patrolling the edges and what-not... [ And Caramia didn't seem too please about that fact. ]

(Shout out to the seven deadly sins for making Mutsu a little more normal.)

Guren.

(He really can't help but glance at that. It's not a particularly common name either.)

My house? (Tilting his head,) I was thinking more about seeing if I could find any friends so, nah.

(He sure didn't find his home.)

(He's proud and shameless...)

I'm not begging.

(he says it quickly. His pride is worth asking please for but he's not! going! to beg! He gets his eight points though and he throws his fist into the air,)

Yeah-hah! (Eight out of ten. That's good! A good score! He did good!!! Is his fake tail wagging...? No, it's clearly just moving around with him.) Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki.

(He stops his little victory dance to give her a salute,)

Maybe ya've heard of me? I'm pretty famous back home.

[ Mafuyu is there, eventually, and would have been there sooner if she didn't keep getting turned around by all these houses that look the same when they're all the same color.

When she sees Percy, she lifts her hand in greeting, doesn't know his name and never gave her name, so- ]


Hey! Shoes?

So the forest isn't just shifting. It's changing, constantly.

[ that's awful. navigation is surely a nightmare if the forest is so unpredictable. ]

But even so, the forest must surely be connected to what happened here. Exploration is important regardless of the risks. Discovery is worth the risk.

I think... this is just a theory, but I believe we may have been brought here to help the land. To lift whatever evil plagues it. [ a soft smile. ] We must be its heroes.

[personal profile] bloodcravings 2018-05-22 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[There is no sign that he heard her call but he did and Mika doesn't stop or even try to respond to it. He doesn't want to encourage her to keep talking or even argue the fact that it was rude.

Because it is and hopefully she'll get the hint should they cross paths again. Though honestly, Mika might just avoid her as much as possible.]
hydrokinetics: (Cuz I know Imma damn sure)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2018-05-22 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Names are for chumps maybe and Percy does absolutely nothing to give his even when he lifts a hand in a return greeting.]

Hey. You must be the Wisher. [He's leaning against the well, blue hoodie on and arms folded over his chest in a relaxed sort of stance. The weather isn't bothersome and his shoes, as she can see, are some beat-up sneakers but the toe of his right shoe is kicking at the heel of his left.] So how do you think this works? You just take my shoes and once that wish is granted we reverse it with my wish?
withwisdom: game cutscene (⟡ glare)

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-05-22 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ she follows him, still annoyed, and his next comment only continues to grind at her nerves. ]

Are you going to help me or not? I grow tired of your language.

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-05-22 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Cat. Alright.

[Isn't that a little too on the nose? But alright, he won't judge this right now. He focuses on the rest, instead, bringing a hand to his own mouth as he considers the most concise way to summarize it.]

All of the people you'll see here that weren't down in that well with you arrived here about two months ago in the same way. There was no one in the town at that time, and nothing had color. The few things you'll see here and there that are colored came back during our time here.

We still don't know why we're here, but the biggest clue would be your laptop. You're probably drawn to one district over the others. You should find it there.

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-05-22 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hex code A5211F. If you want.

[This is a mysterious thing to say until Damian gets his laptop, but he's sure he'll figure it out. Maybe he wants to know if he can memorize it (or if he even cares to), too! It's fun.

But other than that, he's just lifting his arm in a wave. Wanting to get stronger like that is a good thing... His own kid is just as reckless, and he needs him that way. So.

He'll see how this goes.]

[personal profile] swordfucker 2018-05-22 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Only troublemakers have to say things like that.

[It's too late for Mafuyu— he's going to be keeping an eye on her regardless. But luckily for her, he's such a busy man, keeping an eye on everyone, that it won't be like 24/7 surveillance.]
