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!

flavo town

[athenite]

[ guess who also lives in flavo town. and who...

definitely knows how to judo flip people so decide now: does jake get judo flipped, y/n? ]

[kringlefuck]

_{[ well sorry miss feisty lady, he didn't know this cottage was occupied. Needless to say, Annabeth's judo flip is successful and before Jake knows it he's belly up on the floor with a goofy sounding oof and seeing stars, both guns out of his grasp as he stares up a some blonde girl. ]}

Jesus Christmas, that's a rowdy handshake of I ever experienced one! Do you often say hello with some sweet ninja moves?
_{[ He looks kind of irritated, but he takes no steps into continuing the wrestle.. unless she does. ]}

[athenite]

I do when guys in speedos burst into my house with guns.

[ she's not continuing it but she does prop her hands on her hips, staring down at him with eyebrows raised. the blond princess curls and stormy gray eyes are notable, as is the neon orange camp halfblood shirt, but she otherwise looks...normal in an athletic way. sort of.

but she's a demigod child who has trained for battle since the age of seven so like lmao sorry jake. ]

[kringlefuck]

_{[ Jake parts his lips and points at her, but he's rendered speechless because... she's absolute right. It's obvious on his face the way his mouth hangs open that he realizes he can't argue with that. ]}



—Truce, then, if you'll have it. I solemnly swear not to burst into your house with guns again..
_{[ not sure about the speedo part.. god he wants shorts so badly. ]}

[athenite]

[ SHE'S SO VERY RIGHT, HERE. like. annabeth is the girl who would think she was right even when she was wrong but she totally has a point this time. ]

Does this extend to other people's houses, or just mine?

[ not saying no just like curious ]

[kringlefuck]

_{[ Jake remains on the floor and folds his hands behind his head. Might as well get comfortable since he's just laying here...... enjoying the breeze..... god he hates this outfit.... ]}

If you're gonna properly serve my caboose on a golden platter if I barge into another one of these cottages with guns ablaze I... —
_{[ he has to hesitate for a second??? because who wouldn't want to engage in scrums & whatnot with a pretty strong and pretty blonde looking girl??? god he also hates his thought process sometimes.. ]}

I mean, I guess I have no choice but to swear by them too and be more cordial when inviting myself in.

[athenite]

Okay. In that case, you can get up and collect your guns. [ and PUT THEM AWAY... ]

Who are you, anyway? Were you kidnapped from a pool party.

[ that's a terrible swimsuit. ]

[kringlefuck]

Um.. I wouldn't say a pool party per se.. but it was a party of emerald colored ruffians who had the absolute gall to try and kick my ass.
_{[ He'll at least get up and pick up his guns, stowing them away in his sylladex since he sees this girl means no harm (???) ]}

I came from the well. Did you too?

[athenite]

Yes, although I'm not exactly sure how I got there. Obviously via the same means as everyone else, but since no one seems to be sure of those means...

[ anyway. ]

Do you have a name?

[kringlefuck]

Course I have a name! It's Joke!
_{[ oh god WHY.. thanks vriska... ]}

Um.. it's Jake! How about you, miss?

[athenite]

Annabeth Chase. We're probably the same age, "miss" isn't really necessary.

[kringlefuck]

Very well. I retract my miss, Annabeth.
_{[ ... ]}

Annabeth is a rather long name, isn't it? How about Ann, Anna.. just Beth? Annie-B, Annbeth, Bethy-ann?
_{[ why do you want to give nicknames to people you literally just met.. ]}

[athenite]

[ why is this speedo'd child this way. ]

You can call me Annabeth. [ you know,,, for short ]

[kringlefuck]

Annabeth.. well alright! If you want that for a nickname, I suppose I can roll with the punches.
_{[ what................ it isn't a nickname at all but he replies chipper as ever like it is. Who knows what he's thinking? ]}

What do you suppose all of this means? You know, arriving here out of plumb nowhere.

[athenite]

That depends. Have you ever had something like this happen to you before?

[ she just wants to gather Deets ]

[kringlefuck]

cont. here!
