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!

[Maribelle had been leaving town hall when she's suddenly accosted by this way-too-cheery woman.]

Yes yes, very well, what is it?

[scooptimistic]

[ Would you prefer a way-too-dour woman, Maribelle, because that just sounds like a pain. ]

My name is Maya Amano, and I'm working on gathering what information I can. Do you hold meetings here?

[ with a brief gesture to ye olde town hall. ]

[troubadamsel]

Only recently - we've had one successful meeting so far, and another one is being planned. Unfortunately, the young lady who arranged them in the first place seems to have gone missing.

[It was a pity, she was such a noblewoman.]

[scooptimistic]

Missing? Is she the only one?

[ so far no one's talked about that?? ]

[troubadamsel]

Well, she was the only one who had her absence declared publicly over the forums... Are you familiar with a device called a "computer"?

[scooptimistic]

I am! I use one for my work, actually.

[ sorry, ye olde fire emblem. ]

[troubadamsel]

[Slightly jealous that this seems to be so commonplace...]

Yes, well... We all have one inside our homes, and we use this "forum" to give everyone messages at once.

[scooptimistic]

[ no one is ready for Fire Emblem Digital. ]

I see! So it's basically the preferred method of communication instead of running from place to place.

[troubadamsel]

Exactly. And it's also where the quests are located. Has anyone told you about them?

[scooptimistic]

Briefly. Someone unknown posts them up?

[troubadamsel]

That's correct. We haven't had any luck finding out who it is, but they want us to fulfill certain requirements and tasks, usually determined by colors.

[scooptimistic]

And those colors have been assigned to us by... probably that same unknown source?

[troubadamsel]

That's what we have to assume. We haven't been given much to go on, you understand.

[scooptimistic]

Right, as expected. Thank you very much for keeping me updated.

[troubadamsel]

Of course. We all need to work together if we want to find out what's going on.

[scooptimistic]

My thoughts exactly! I like you already. [ strange curly-haired woman!! ]

[troubadamsel]

[Just keep those thoughts in the brackets.]

Hm! Well, you're not so bad yourself.

[scooptimistic]

Thanks! My name is Maya, by the way. Maya Amano.

[troubadamsel]

[A hand to her chest, slight bow.]

I am Maribelle. A pleasure, I'm sure.

[scooptimistic]

It's nice to meet you, Maribelle! Let's do our best to get to the bottom of this.
