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!

Gotcha. Do we know what happens if we don't complete these quests?

Whatever colors we managed to get back, they vanish. And it'd be fine if it was just for appearances, but... apparently here, if food has no color, it tastes like ash.

[He instinctively makes a face.] Gross. That's the part I think I'm stuck on. The color's gone, but the rain water's acting up, too.

[Not that most people can tell, maybe, beyond the fact it's gray and not fresh like real rain.] I want to know how whoever brought us here is controlling all of this.

[Rain water? She hadn't really noticed that. Strange.]

That's what we all want to know. And with all of us working together, we'll find out.

That's what I like to hear. [There's a grin suddenly and his shoulders relax, giving Maribelle another semi-grateful look.] Thanks for the rundown.

[There's a pause.] I'm Percy. [May as well introduce himself to the people he's staying with.]

[Hand to her chest, slight bow.]

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

Sure. [Fancy. But he's used to people speaking formally and highly of themselves so it rolls right off of him.] You've been a ton of help so far. I appreciate it. Anything else I should be worried about around here?

Hm, let's see... avoid the woods, unless absolutely necessary.

What else is out there? [He always assumes there's dangerous stuff in the woods of any foreign place, but it doesn't hurt to ask.]

All sorts of different monsters. It's as if every time we go in there, there's something new waiting to hurt us.

Typical. [A bit annoyed? Yes, maybe.] If it's also bringing in new monsters every time we head into the forest that means this town's an even bigger problem than I thought. But we won't know until we head in multiple times.

... You're not thinking of going in there now, are you?

[you just got here, don't get yourself killed.]

Not right this minute. I might give it a few days before then, get to know the place a little, but not right now.

That's... slightly reassuring.

There's plenty of time for that. [He might be kidding? But probably not.] I should report back to my partner. But I'll see you around? Looks like we'll be here for a while.
