awashlogs | 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!

I thought as much... if nothing else, then I'm glad I was given a chance to wrap things up before this happened.

[ if it had been mid-battle, she'd be a lot unhappier. ]

Huh... you were able to take care of whatever you were facing, then? If you have a Persona, it must have been something pretty big.

[That seems to be how it works.]

Mm... something world-threatening, you could say.

[ It was definitely world-threatening. ]

But it was the least I could do.

[... Yeah. That seems to be how it goes with Persona users, huh...?]

Well...

[A soft sigh.]

I'm glad you're otherwise alright, if it was something that dangerous. Maybe now, you can take a breather.

Oh, I still intend to keep busy. But I don't think the fights will be as strenuous.

[ hopefully. ]

[Hopefully.]

Well, they're... not usually physically strenuous here...

[JUST LIKE...Unfortunate, sometimes.]

Not "physically"...?

More like, psychologically then?

Yeah, something like that. Everything we've seen thus far has been like that.

Not that there aren't dangers, but...

[Yeah.

Lots of psychological nonsense.]

... I see. It's worth being at least a little careful.

[ says the reckless one. ]

Yeah, exactly. So... it's better to try to not be alone in this place, as much as you can be. So that you've got someone to watch your back.

[...]

And definitely don't go into the woods alone.

Got it. I'll take a buddy.

[ look at how responsible she's being. ]

[Uh.]

And... please make sure to tell people before you go. Just in case we have to send in a search party. [He's completely serious.]

Got... it.

I can definitely wait another day to worry you.

[ yeah!! ]

[Honestly like:]

I appreciate that. You've got plenty to catch up with here anyway. Have you found where you're living yet?

Not yet! But I'll figure it out.

[ the optimism, it never truly dies. ]

[Oh my god, Maya. He'll...he'll help.]

Well... do you feel a tug in any particular direction? It's subtle, but it actually will lead to where you need to go.

... Oh. I did think I felt something like that, but I ignored it. I wanted to see what was around first.

[ Of course she did. ]

[Of course she did.

He's already starting to feel like she's going to need looking after.]

Which direction was it, if you don't mind me asking?

Hmm... over... there?

[ she's going to point in the vague direction of Ruga. ]

Huh, so you're red...

[...A nod.]

That's fitting, I think. We've all been divided into colors, if nobody's told you.

[He shrugs, tucking his hands into his pockets.]

I'm blue, so we're in different districts. [It's a shock Minato is blue, I know]

Blue... that suits you! You've got a very calming nature.

[...Well.]

Thank you...

The other color is yellow, which is this way.

[Gesturing!! Now she knows.]

... All the primary colors...

And everyone's assigned a color under one of those three.

[ HMMMMM. Something is clicking. ]

[...?]

That's right...

[Is there something clicking, Maya!!]

... Ah, sorry, I'll ponder it more later. But when I think about it, it makes sense that you'd use the primary colors...
