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!

[ Caramia's smiling at Mika still, but his eyes scream at the very idea that a world like Mika's exists. ] Ah. [ A stellar response if there ever was one, really. He gave that another moment to really soak in, because, hell, there was a lot to take in there. He shouldn't be surprised anymore, what with the superpowered children's school and the literal gods and the mute boy who apparently has never seen stars, but here the fuck we are. Hell, even his story was an odd one, so who was he to judge?

Actually... wait, this sounded familiar... ]


Ah, you're... [ Wait. Full stop. War? And, he's got the pointy teeth that everyone mistakes Caramia for a vampire... so... Hm... Maybe it's best he doesn't bring up Guren yet? Yeah. Yeah... ] Your... world sounds rough. [ Nice save? ]

Anyway, we ran into were these shadow creatures, and they can't be touched or fought by normal means or with physical weapons, and those seem to be reoccurring in the forest, but that aside... ogres, minotaurs, and, despite this world being different from the one we're all from, there have even been creatures to show up from ours.

The gist of the forest comes down to a "Everything's Fucking Dangerous" in the end. Excuse my French. Last time the town went out together, we came back and had our own shadows try to kill us, so... nothing's exactly fun out there.

[There's no way he misses the way the eyes are giving away Caramia's thoughts behind the smile. Though he doesn't see any reason to point that out and just silently lets the other deal with the idea about a horrible world out there somewhere.]

It is what it is. [He can't change it not even if he stood alongside the others against the whole world of vampires.

Instead he's more interested in learning more about this world and the dangers it hold, so Mika listens quietly while holding all of his questions until the end. He isn't bothered by the choice of language - Yuu tends to curse and doesn't apologize for it.]


Have you found something that hurts the shadows or did you simply find a way of escaping them?

[Ogres and minotaurs - even Horsemen like what might be in his world are all something he won't have much problem with. So the shadows are the most important to ask about.]

[ Thanks, Mika. A true pal. Though, really, he just feels sorry for Mika more so than anything else. Poor boy, it's no wonder he's so cold. War did shit to kids... Caramia's seen that much first hand. ]

Light will stave them off, but I haven't necessarily heard of anything to hurt them, no. They're stronger at nighttime, too... [ Admittedly, he didn't know too much about them beyond "They almost drowned me". ] It hasn't been a problem for a while, but we also have been only scarcely venturing into the forest.

There's too much in there we don't know about, so we have people patrolling the edges and what-not... [ And Caramia didn't seem too please about that fact. ]

[It isn't even the war that made Mika so cold, it was what happened before he was forced to join the fight. Though he doesn't feel like explaining that.]

I see, that is useful to know. [For when he eventually runs into them himself.]

[Mika turns towards Caramia at that, an eyebrow raising curiously.] You don't sound happy about the patrols. Why is that?

[ Oh. He straightened up and immediately put on a smile to laugh this off. He didn't think he was that readable- then again, when has he ever really been anything besides an open book? Regardless, he'd really rather not bare his thoughts to someone who just got here. He needed to help him out, after all. Be a good host or whatever. ]

No, no, a defense team is important, right? [ It was. It's true. He just didn't like how it was run. ] I... probably can't recommend you talk to the person in charge, though. If you're thinking about going...

bloodcravings: (you're so frustrating)

[personal profile] bloodcravings 2018-05-25 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Perhaps if Mika hadn't been the same way once - trying to hide his emotions behind a smile - it wouldn't be as easy for him to pick up on. Even after he accidentally cried, he managed to fool Yuu into thinking it was just a trick. And honestly, he doesn't need a host. He isn't freaking out (too much) about being here just that Yuu isn't here too.]

I suppose if dangers from the forest come into town forming a patrol is natural. [A frown.] Why not? What's wrong with them that you'd say something like that?

[The only person Mika would not like in the position is Guren. He saw the man as he left the well behind and knows he's here.]
