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!

Yeah, you get used to it. [ if only he knew to go "btw maybe don't time travel if you don't want death trauma" since no one else has had the capability to hit that particular game issue before, so yeah he's not as helpful as he could be alas. ]

And I for sure don't mind - you can keep it. Uh...there are clothes around but I don't have any on me right now. [ he just wears his pajamas every day...but he suddenly has a blanket in his hands from nowhere, and he hands it over to her. ]

Maybe I don't want to get used to it... [She mumbles, half-hoping he won't hear her.]

I'll look for––Oh.

[Stare. . .]

Did you always have that?

The blanket, I mean.

Yeah, it was in my sylladex. [ and then he translates because he's occasionally not a dick: ] It's a hammerspace inventory system thing. Just means I'm carryin' more than you can see.

[Eyebrow slowly rising upward.]

...Like a video game?

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-05-16 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much exactly like, yeah. There are like a handful of other people with the same schtick runnin' around here, most of them in pajamas like me.

...Are the pajamas what give you your power...?

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-05-16 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, they're just convenient to wear.

I guess if I could walk around in pajamas all day, I would too.

[She's finally taking the blanket and attempting to dry herself off with it. It's a mixed bag.]

I've actually never met anyone else with powers before. [she glances down at the blood drying on her arm.]

Maybe that's why I ended up here. I don't know...[She's talking to herself, oops]
parodeity: (WHOA 🎧 hold up)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-05-16 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Powers? [ he hasn't seen any of hers, so. ]

[personal profile] reshoot 2018-05-16 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Oh. Did I say that? I said that, didn't I, okay, yeah, I...

[there's no use in not saying anything, right? And if it can help.]

You probably won't believe me, or, maybe you will, but about a week ago I figured out I can do some pretty crazy stuff. I think it might be why I ended up here in the first place.

I don't know how I got it, or why I have it, but I can rewind time. [she's not making eye contact because she feels a lot like a crazy person––she's just gonna dry her hair with the blanket.]

I could go back and say something different and change this entire conversation, and you wouldn't even know.
parodeity: (WELSH 🎧 this sword isn't yet)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-05-16 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably wouldn't work on me at all. [ blandly. ]

But also, don't try that while you're in town. It doesn't work in the town limits and you'd just end up regretting it.

[!? Max reflexively scoots backwards.]

How do you know that? You just used your power, and you were fine...
parodeity: atrueenglishman @ tumblr (EYEBROW 🎧 raise the roof)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-05-16 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It's time travel specific. Just only do it outside of the town unless you really want to see people you love die multiple times. [ his voice is dry, but he's being honest. time travel in town: a terrible idea. ] Other powers don't seem to have the same limitations.
reshoot: (05)

[personal profile] reshoot 2018-05-16 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, you can rewind too!?

[She's on her feet before she realizes it. Another person that can mess with time? That knows about time? Please help her because she's had no idea what she's doing.]

Or, or, have other people...?

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-05-16 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Rewind, fast forward, stop...time-related shit is my domain. So, like. No one else does it, it's a warning that I gave and no one really needed until now.
reshoot: (07)

[personal profile] reshoot 2018-05-16 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her lips quiver, settling into a frown. Dude seems low key messed up. Guess time travel powers never really buy you real happiness, do they? Just trouble, trouble, trouble...]

And...you saw people die? When you tried to use it?

That's––that's horrible, I'm so sorry...

It also kinda froze me in place for the duration, so it didn't even work. As long as you don't go back or forward in the town limits it's fine, like I said. I tested it.

[Max mulls over his words, watching him carefully. Is that really true? Or just an excuse to not use her powers? Can she trust this guy, or is he some manner of evil wizard? Sure he seems nice but it all feels a little too good to be true. You never know who you can trust.

What reason would he have to lie, though?]

Okay.

Outside of the town, then. Which is mostly forest, right?

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-05-17 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's pretty much entirely forest...oh, stopping time works fine, though. Just not...moving through it. Here, I mean.

[ if that's an option. ]

[personal profile] reshoot 2018-05-17 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Good to know, then.

...Kinda takes most of the tricks out of my toolbox, though. Just my luck.

[blows her wet bangs out of her eyes]

I'm Max. Thanks for taking the time to warn me about all of that. [Though she still sounds a bit coy, unsure.]

Not a problem. If you check your laptop at...wherever you end up, I actually warned people on the forums a while back, too. Wasn't relevant then but figured I might as well, you know?

This place has forums?

And, hey, you never told me your name.

Just the one forum, for all of us. And I'm Dave.
