Intro Log.

[awashmods]

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!

Sturdy or not, isn't it better to be careful?

[Which isn't worry if anyone asks.

Also isn't "idiots don't catch colds" the sickness equivalent to a death flag??]

[tokugawa]

It is, but I also think it's fine to take better care of those who need it more than I.

[self-sacrificing fool!]

I'd rather be helpful, for as long as I can manage it.

[good_ideas]

And how long do you think you'd be helpful if you don't take care of yourself first? It's like the PSA they give you on planes: help yourself and then lend assistance to those around you.

[Also if he gets sick, who is going to lug him around?? Definitely not this girl standing at about 5'3 with noodle arms.]

[tokugawa]

[what's a plane]

Ahaha, you have a very determined brand of kindness, don't you? I presume it'll be alright - the conditions are not yet so dire that I'll spontaneously collapse.

[good_ideas]

[it's not a bird or superman

Also don't call her kind?!]

It's not kindness, it's just logic. This is just rain anyway. But if you get sick and go around pretending you'll be fine because you want to help others more, you really will spontaneously collapse one day.

[And she'll be there to tell him that she told him so!

and also to drag him to the clinic probably]

[tokugawa]

Mm, I can't say it'd be the smartest idea for me to spread my hypothetical sickness either?

[he's sensible sometimes! but there's just a laugh there, coupled with a shake of his head]

Luckily that's not a concern at the moment. I'll aspire to keep it that way.

[good_ideas]

[She gives him a once-over just for that.]

By using your hoodie as a makeshift umbrella.

[Because she definitely thinks he should be concerned right now. In fact, she walks faster though it probably makes little difference considering he's most likely taller than she is.]
