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!

[ zelda was in the same vicinity, though she didn't witness his attempt to eat. rather she's alerted to his presence when he makes his cry, and she quickly steps in the direction of the voice until she sees him. ]

Are you alright, sir?

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-05-16 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not...

[He's completely honest about it... and maybe it's a little dramatic, but. You know. For Hunk, it's like the devastating cherry on top of a cake of devastation.]

Have you tried eating any of the food around here? It's awful. I don't think it's even the type of awful that'll grow on me after a while.
withwisdom: game cutscene (⟡ glance)

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-05-16 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't yet. [ she's been too busy fretting about her situation, and trying to document her movements, the thought of hunger didn't even strike her until now. ] What exactly is awful about it? The food couldn't have gone bad inside a can.
atomicals: (pic#12290040)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-05-16 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and if it was just rotten food, I'd be able to deal with it. It'd probably just be a bad can so I could find another, but... it just tastes like I put a mouthful of ash in my mouth. It's bad and weird.

[He sighs and flips the can a little to show her. The contents are... well, colourless. But Hunk didn't think that'd mean totally flavourless.]
withwisdom: game cutscene (⟡ frustration)

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-05-16 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ash...

[ she reaches out to the can and takes it out from his hand, looking down at its contents. with a frown she quickly swipes a little bit of the food out from inside, the texture seemingly normal for what it is, and then she puts it in her mouth-- ]

Ugh! [ she turns around quickly and spits out the food, disgusted and hoping he didn't see that rather unlady-like act. ] How -- How could this be?
atomicals: (pic#12288286)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-05-16 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that was me too.

[Hunk just nods. He appreciates her unladylike reaction, because it was precisely the same reaction he'd had. Except he forced himself to gulp it down.] It's not rotten and it's not like its actually ash because the consistency is the same to what it'd be like...

I can only guess it's something to do with the colour. That shouldn't change the taste of food, but colour also shouldn't just be missing from things for no reason, so.
withwisdom: game cutscene (⟡ concern)

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-05-16 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
It's been cursed. [ she mutters as she turns back around to hunk, taking a look over the can now and avoiding any glance to the contents. it may make her sick to even see. ] This whole place is afflicted with some sort of malevolent disease. It's the only explanation for why a world of color has been drained away.
atomicals: (pic#12290062)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-05-16 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
...We talking, like, magic curses and magic diseases?

[He's just going to put this can aside... He doesn't really want to eat any more of it (not that he was going to, well, unless he really had to).]
withwisdom: (⟡ uncertain)

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-05-16 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. [ to both. ] What else could it be? A land robbed of its color, food that doesn't even taste proper. And there's just... no one around at all who seems like they actually come from here. And no explanation as to why.
atomicals: (pic#12290070)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-05-16 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's a pretty good summary of where we're at right now. [Hunk sighs and scratches his cheek with his forefinger.] Usually, there's at least some big bad behind everything. If there is here, they sure aren't making a thing of themselves.
withwisdom: game cutscene (⟡ alright)

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-05-17 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ she smiles faintly at that, because yes, how very true. ]

An ancient prophecy. A demonic presence. A large looming monster that can be spotted from hundreds of miles away. [ the list can go on- ] Whoever, or whatever, is causing this may not be so eager to show themselves. There may very well be a great deal of those capable of standing up against the darkness. And those who do evil are often cowards in some manner.
atomicals: (pic#12290072)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-05-17 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they can be.

Though I'm more familiar with, er, blatant evil people who pick fights. From recent experience... [He thinks of people they've run into and, yeah. He knows roughly the kind of evil she's referring to.]

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-05-18 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Recent experience? [ hm. he may not quite have the look of one, but- ] Are you by any chance a knight? Or a warrior of a sort?

[ she smiles with keen interest, excited by the prospect. ]
atomicals: (pic#12192023)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-05-18 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Knight or warrior... those sound cool.]

A, uh. A paladin! I guess! I'm part of a group, there are a bunch of different paladins. [He shifts to knock his knuckle against the yellow on some of his armour.] I'm yellow.

[colour coded for convenience]

[personal profile] withwisdom 2018-05-20 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
A paladin. How splendid. [ and familiar, which is comforting. ] Oh - do forgive my manners, I didn't introduce myself to you yet. I am Zelda. May I have your name, brave yellow paladin?
atomicals: (pic#12290123)

[personal profile] atomicals 2018-05-21 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Brave yellow paladin, she says! Not entirely accurate but he doesn't want to pop the bubble so soon.] Name's Hunk. It's nice to meet you.
