Intro Log.
 | |
The old man is snoring. He bumped his head and went to bed And he couldn't get up in the morning. | |
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. | |
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.
no subject
But I can see it. [He assumes. It may not look quite like it does to Josuke, but it's there. And maybe thankfully; Damian might be disgruntled about how gaudy he thinks it seems.] If I can see the Invisible Jet, I can see anything.
[With the bullshit technology of the domino mask, but he isn't going to give away all of his secrets. Still, a part of him wishes he could remove the mask just to test whether or not he could see the Stand without it. Likely not, based on what Josuke just told him. That's worrying. More worrying when he'll have to make a decision to give up the suit down the road.
It'll just be an experiment for later.] Are you sure you can control it? [Guess who's a Bat and doesn't trust, like, anything or anyone ever.]
1/2
[ Yes, Josuke uses 'kewl' without irony. He's being completely serious. Feel free to think he's a loser.
Anyway, he's distracted for a second, thinking about how rad his life would be if he had an invisible private jet, but the slap of rain against his precious hairdo pulls him back to reality. ]
no subject
[ Does that make sense? No? Anyway, he has a lot of confidence in his Stand's ability, because he's been using it since he was 4 years ago. If it's a toss Damian wants, he's certain he can manage it. There's still the issue of landing, though; how Josuke is going to be throwing around both a little kid and a kitten. Typically, you shouldn't be treating those two things very roughly. ]
You sure you up for this? [ Crazy Diamond will move over and try picking Damian up. He's a strong Stand, so it's effortless. ]
no subject
But here they are.]
The jet belongs to Wonder Woman. [Even though it feels bad to admit he doesn't have an invisible jet. SHUT UP. His dad has plenty of cool gadget-y vehicles, and they can all be camouflaged!] I'm sure.
[Carefully, he tucks Pennyworth's head down so the cat is protected against his chest inside his uniform. His arms cup the cat below and across, just in case.] I'm ready. [He actually sounds like there's no fear, even though Crazy Diamond lifts him with no struggle. There's a glint in his eyes that Josuke won't be able to see.]
Do it.
no subject
What kind of name is 'Wonder Women', but okay, no time to keep getting sidetracked. Josuke prepares himself to launch this small child into the air. He still has reservations, but Damian looks really, really confident in his ability to stay unharmed. ] Alright -- Crazy Diamond!
[ He doesn't actually have to order his Stand to do it, because this Stand is him, but it helps him concentrate, and it also sounds cooler. With its strength, Crazy D manages to balance the boy on one of its arms, launching him up the well, a little to the side so he's tossed out the brick walls. Josuke's watching with some concern after that, preparing to scramble up there somehow in the event the boy lands badly and breaks an arm or something (or squishes his kitty. That would be terrible.) ]
no subject
Unfortunately: the opening of the well is covered by a vaulted roof with a primitive mechanism for the bucket and rope. The well is too vertical. Damian is going too fast.
Just at the lip of the well, he stretches an arm out to push on it and direct his path "up and over," but the move only works halfway. He knocks the bucket and busts through a quarter of the wooden roofing before disappearing out of sight. There's no yell of surprise or scream.
Josuke is left with shards of wood carelessly tumbling back down into the well from above.]
no subject
I'm going up there! [ His Stand will try climbing up the wall, pulling Josuke along, but it's a mostly fruitless process given how slippery it is. ] Kid! Hey! Can you hear me?! Are you doing okay?
no subject
And then a black and white tuxedo cat hops carelessly up onto the lip of the well, peering down at Josuke and Crazy D. It blinks its eyes, then lets out a lackadaisical merowl.
Nearby, Damian's masked head appears. He doesn't look any worse for wear surprisingly.] I told you I could handle it. [His arm falls down over the side of the well. It looks like he has a gun? YIKES.
Pressing the button on the side makes a loud, echoing click, but what comes out of the end looks like a grappling hook. It speeds down toward the bottom of the well, piercing the water and the ground beneath. The line stands taut and rigid, waiting for Josuke to climb.]
Hurry up!
[He................... had the batgrapple the whole time, and he just made Josuke toss him for the hell of saying he had made it out of the well being thrown.]
no subject
YIKES.
It's a ... grappling gun, at least. Looks like Damian actually intends to help, and not murder him for no reason. ] You could've given me a heart attack there, you know! If you're fine just say so! [ He went through such a wide spectrum of emotions, and is coming out now feeling so tired. Why are little boys so stressful? Anyway, Josuke definitely looks angry, but it's from a place of worry.
Yes, he will climb up that rope, but he realises shortly afterward: ] YOU HAD THAT THE WHOLE TIME?!
no subject
Patiently, he waits for Josuke to ascend the line to the top of the well, and Pennyworth looks on with the indifference of a typical cat.
At the mouth, Josuke gets roll of the eyes which can't be seen because of the mask. The rest of the facial expressions, though--maybe Josuke can tell.]
You won't ever get better if you always take the easy way out.
no subject
I don't do that. [ Only, maybe on occasion. Shortcuts exist for a reason. ] Excuse me for wanting to take the option that doesn't involve launching kids into wooden rooftops ...
[ Big sigh. So tired. Though he's still sulky, he does reach out to take the kid's arm, aiming to check for injuries. He feels like he's prodding the bees nest a bit by doing so, though. ] Did you hurt yourself?
i hate seeing nipzips in my inbox
There's too much precision in how quick and easily he can turn his arm to get it out of Josuke's grip; it's very martial arts, even if someone else wouldn't know a thing about hand-to-hand combat. But he doesn't retaliate, only looks disgruntled about being touched.] Did water get in your ears? I said I was fine.
I don't need you to coddle me.
[He presses the button on the side of the grapple, and the line whips back up over the edge and into place. He puts it on his belt beneath the cloak.]
nip zippers are high-tier fashion, excuse you
I'm not. [ HE'S SO TIRED. ] I was just seeing if there's any need for me to heal you. You kind of rammed right into the wood just now, dude. Anyone would be worried.
[ It's fair? He's not treating Damian like a child or anything. ] Where'd you learn to fight like that?
no subject
I haven't sustained any notable injuries. Anyway, I can perform first aid on myself. [Prepared to be More Tired. Sorry, Josuke.] What do you know about fighting?
I've been trained by two of the best organizations [people, but he doesn't want to say that] my world has to offer.
no subject
The best fighting organisations ... Like the WWF, that they show in America? [ First thing that comes to Josuke's mind. Even if he knows it's all fake. ]
You know, you look way too young to be sounding so serious about everything.
no subject
That's pretentious nonsense--entertainment. We are far removed from any of that mindless and asinine drivel. [Lord, he sounds so defensive. Josuke really hit a nerve with that one. (Damian is just a sensitive baby.)] I've learned extensive combat and detective skills, things even many old people would never hope to master in their lifetime.
It's not a game.
no subject
[ He's a teenager from 1999. Wrestling and arcades make up 70% of his life, probably. Sure, whatever, not a game, cool. ] What are you? The world's smallest police detective?
[ Josuke isn't trying to be mean but if it gets read that way, oops. ]
no subject
I'm a detective, but I never said I was involved with the police.
no subject
Oh! I get it. The World's Tiniest Private Eye ...? [ Okay, he's just teasing at this point. Big bros tease little bros, it's the law of the universe. ]
no subject
We don't work as police. We're affiliated with them distantly. We assist them in apprehending criminal masterminds, but we aren't a part of the police force itself.
Is that more clear for you?
no subject
[ He probably should have caught on sooner but Josuke does not read comics. That's for nerds, clearly. ]
Guess it explains the costume. I thought you were on your way to a themed birthday party. It's cute, though ... [ So colourful! And it even has an 'R' emblem, which he assumes stands for 'Robin'. ]
no subject
It's not "cute"! It's efficient and practical.
no subject
[ Only, if Josuke couldn't even grab Damian's hand before, maybe Damian is highly prepared to stop that from happening. Anyway, moving on. ]
Now, if I were to choose a vigilante costume ... it's gotta be something streamlined and sexy. Maybe I'll even show off my chest. Yeah.
[ Fool-proof plan. ]
no subject
[Which is just his way of trying to say: it can be detached quickly and easily in the worst of situations, and he's plenty capable enough of using it to his advantage. Without, uh, actually giving away his secrets.]
You can't be serious. The uniforms aren't about sensual appeal. And unless that "Stand" of yours can reflect attacks, having an exposed upper body would be stupid. That's the first place someone would try to hit.
no subject
Anyway, I'm too dedicated to these threads to ever change my style. I was just kidding around there. [ These threads ... His very kewl threads. ]
You really need to lighten up.
