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!

[Estelle had made a point to wander around, checking in with some of the new arrivals and trying to calm rattled nerves. She almost doesn't catch sight of Prompto curled up beneath the tree, but she's glad she does when she notes the trembling in his frame as she gets closer. How long had he been out here.....?]

Hey there! I haven't seen you around.

[Her voice is light and friendly as she makes her way over, an attempt to reassure as much as simply her own innate nature.]

photoshooter: (DOUBLE TAKE 📷 Eh?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-16 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, crap.]

Uhhh, yeah, I...

[What? He's shy? Yeah, no, he just got here but he saw that the town's small enough for everyone to know everyone. If he hasn't been here, there's no point pretending he has, that he's one of them.]

I'm, ah, new, I guess. Um, hello.
brightlyshines: (Welllll)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-16 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeaaah.... kind of figured, what with people climbing out of the well again.

[Hi, guess what she did about two months ago: That. It sucked majorly, but at least it wasn't raining for them. She'll sink to the ground, balancing on her heels to get a better look at Prompto, wet pigtails dragging along the ground and probably getting mud caked in them. Not that the girl seems to care.]

What're you doing out here, though? The town is kind of a mess still, but we've repaired a lot of the houses. It should be warmer inside.
photoshooter: (EUGH 📷 THAT'S your plan?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-16 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, girl, no, your hair. Prompto winces at that for a second, distracted, before looking up again.]

What? You just... go into any house you want? Like in a video game?
brightlyshines: (Huh really)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-16 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Er....? More like 'most of the houses are abandoned'. Did you ask anyone about this place when you got here?

[It's fine, she'd probably get fussed at by Joshua later, as per usual. Estelle's not exactly the most careful about her appearance.]

All of the people here arrived the same way you did. The town was empty when we got here, so....
photoshooter: (RUB 📷 Uh I dunno...)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-16 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh.

[These are all very simple sentences, and yet, there is oh so much to unpack. Hesitantly, awkwardly rubbing his arm, Prompto admits:]

No, I kind of... left? The place where the well was, I mean, as soon as I could, since I didn't recognize anybody. ...Which I guess sounds kind of stupid now that I say it out loud.
brightlyshines: (I promise)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-17 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh....

[Welp. The first thing Estelle tends to do in any new place is talk to people, but admittedly, she's aware she's a little more trusting than most.]

No, not stupid at all! But everyone here is pretty nice, don't worry. We're all kind of stuck in the same situation, you know?
photoshooter: (BACKLIGHT 📷 Rise and shine)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-17 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I wasn't thinking too hard about it when I got here, I just sort of thought--well, never mind.

[Prompto shakes his head. This pretty obviously isn't Imperial territory. Not by a long shot.]

So what's your name? While we're being nice and everything. I'm Prompto Argentum.
brightlyshines: (chipper)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-19 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Eheheh.... if it helps, Joshua and I were both kind of cautious when we first arrived, too. Though the town was empty then...

[She offers Prompto a hand, smiling happily.]

I'm Estelle! Estelle Bright. Nice to meet you, Prompto. If you want, I can help you get out of the rain and get something to eat.
photoshooter: (SELFIE 📷 Oh my god do I try)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-23 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[With the perfect timing of a cartoon, his stomach gurgles hungrily. Prompto covers it with one hand and laughs weakly.]

Ahaha, um... i-if it wouldn't put you out, anyway. I'll owe you one.
brightlyshines: (Welllll)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-24 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Estelle grins a little more, but at the very least she doesn't laugh. Listen, food is serious business ok.]

Not at all! Of course I'm not going to leave you out here to freeze, especially if you're hungry.

[She does, however, look a little sheepish.]

Though I should warn you in advance that the food here is kind of weird. Some of it's normal and delicious, but a lot of it tastes awful. Seems like things don't taste good when they don't have color. But! We've got an awesome cook at my house, and he's good at making the random stuff that does taste normal into tasty meals.

[You might know him, Prompto.]
photoshooter: (TAXI 📷 Hail a cho-cab-bo!)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-24 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He might! But jumping to that conclusion would be so goofy. There are good cooks all over the universe, right?]

Oh, man, that sounds great. I mean, I wouldn't look a gift chocobo in the beak anyway, I'd eat anything right now, even if it tasted like old boot leather. But I'm definitely not going to say no to good food!

[Pls feed.]

I gotta pay you back, though, come on. I don't wanna be a mooch. I'm more reliable than I look, promise!
brightlyshines: (cheer)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-31 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I totally get that. I'd eat just about anything, but man does a girl start to miss decent food when everything tastes so wrong.

[She sighs deeply, shaking her head. Food was important, ok!!!! A growing girl needed her three square meals, snacks in between, dessert--]

And hey, it's fine! We're all kind of stuck in the same situation, and you'll probably end up helping out around the town eventually like the rest of us, you know? 'We're all stuck here together' is how it goes, right?
