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!

[ Somehow, being Siamese Twins would be easier for Josuke to understand than this. ]

Wait a second, did you try to ... steal his body? [ Which sounds terrible but please understand what he means! ]
cupiditates: he's a piece of shit just like me (ling; this is my boyfriend)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-20 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehhh . . . not so much steal as I got put into his body with no choice. To be fair, though, he asked for it. Literally, he out and out asked daddy dearest for a homunculus in his bloodstream. He wanted immortality enough he didn't mind the new roommate.
nipzips: (sarcastic mister know-it-all)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-21 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This is too wild. It's just too much to take in at once and he understand none of it. ] You mean you're a homunculus? That's an artificial person, isn't it? A little man -- I think I saw it on TV.

[ He could make a joke about 'little men' but there's too much to process right now and there's no time for that. ]

And you're immortal?

Hey, that's pretty good!

[For knowing what a homunculus is! Good job, Josuke! Obviously he's not little, but he figures walking around in leather pants and no shirt sort of takes care of that. He's just so much beef, it's like he's from part 1 of jojos or something, jesus christ.]

But ehh . . . not immortal. Ling didn't know that at the time, though. But nah, just . . . a bit sturdier than most humans. Wanna see?
nipzips: (homie)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-21 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ let greed be a beefcake. sora just surrounded by big men. how tall is greed ...

Josuke doesn't know who Ling is but he probably will, soon. ]


Oh. Sure? I kinda have a bad feeling about this ... [ Like something wild is going to happen. ]
cupiditates: (28)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-21 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's like six-foot-three. too big, that's the main message here, just too big. But ah . . . what a fun permission to fuck around. It's really a pity he doesn't have anyone here willing to smash off his head, but . . .

Actually, wait. He glances around, then flexes his fingers. They become claws, and then--

Yeah, he cut off his head.]
nipzips: (now there's a look in your eyes)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-22 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ that's so big ... damn

The claws are definitely a sight. They're a little like Yukako's hair Stand in a sense, but somehow a lot less frightening. Sorry, Greed, it's hard to be scarier than freakin' Yukako. It all seems fine until Greed all up and cuts off his own head. ]


H-HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?! [ Excuse him. When someone says they want to show him something, he doesn't usually expect that 'something' to be the act of self-decapitation. Perhaps he should have expected it, even the context of their conversation, but it's all happening too quickly for him to really process things.

Josuke's storming over immediately, commanding Crazy Diamond to touch any part of Greed that he can and fix him up. This means Greed gets to be felt up by Stand hands. A bit awkward, but deal with it. ]
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!
cupiditates: (talk; hey kid wanna join a gang)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-22 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thanks to Crazy Diamond, the whole healing process goes a bit faster than normal. But what's really creepy is the way the corpse moves in those quick few seconds before Crazy Diamond has a chance to reach him: one hand swings up, a finger extended in the universal gesture for just hang on.

Bone flies up from his stump of a neck first, knitting itself back together. Red lightning crackles as it does, flying off the skull in little red sparks. Bloody veins and muscles all inch their way up the reformed skull, and Josuke gets to watch teeth regrow, muscles and tendons stretching out-- and then, finally, skin, eyes, hair, all collecting into a man who is grinning, utterly self-satisfied with himself.

The head at their feet, it's worth nothing, has long since faded into ash. Even that doesn't linger, but rather dissolves into nothing, evaporating into the air. The only remaining evidence of his little trick is the blood on the floor.]


Pretty good, huh?

nipzips: (i just can't believe it's true)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-23 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Watching a corpse gesture at him is just creepy on so many different levels. Like, horror movie-tier creepy. In those few seconds, Greed was pretty much a headless ghost. Of course, even that wasn't quite enough to deter Josuke from trying to heal the guy, and he is being healed, but not quite in the way Josuke's used to seeing. His power involves piecing parts back together. Greed's head should be flying back onto his body, but instead, a new one seems to be growing out of his neck. It doesn't take very long for Josuke to realise that he's not actually the one putting Greed back together. Crazy Diamond's hand will release the tiddy now, and Josuke continues to gawk at what he's just seen. ]

So you just ... grow back? [ That's a first for him, at least. If Greed wanted to impress him, consider him impressed, at least. Impressed, and also maybe kind of creeped out at the side of teeth growing back and flesh building upwards from a sliced neck. ]
cupiditates: pull the fucking trigger piglet (talk; fingerguns)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-23 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much!

[He looks disgustingly pleased with himself. With a satisfied little groan he cracks his neck once, twice.]

Still hurts like hell, though. Ah--

[Please excuse him as he heads to the sink and spits out some blood.]
Edited 2018-05-23 04:58 (UTC)
nipzips: (honey!!)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-23 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's fine, yeah, but spitting blood is still hella concerning. ]

If it still hurts then don't do it, dude! You could've just told me you could do it! It's not like I'd be raving to make you prove it.

[ He's not a sadist who likes to watch heads being chopped off. ] Sheesh, you okay?

[ Josuke walks over and gives the big guy a pat? An awkward one. ]
cupiditates: (confused; and just started driving)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-23 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah--

[That's weirdly sweet? he has a mildly baffled look on his face as he turns to face Josuke. Like, who are you? Why are you so caring? It's not necessarily bad, but it's strange.

Anyway! One quick swipe of his hand against his mouth and he's good as new.]


What'd you just call me?

[teach him your funky slang ways, that's better than being all weirdly compassionate]
nipzips: (homeslice)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-23 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Caring is 95% of who he is. The other 5% is probably greed and vanity. As far as Josuke is concerned, trying to help a guy who's spitting out blood is a fair thing to do, especially after that guy just survived a decapitation. ]

'Dude' ...? [ That's a really normal thing to say. He's confused about why Greed's confused. Unless -- ] Um, you are a guy, right?

[ Did he somehow get that wrong? It would be both really rude and awkward, if so. Greed is large and manly and can't be anything but a guy, though!!

He's from 1999, help him. ]
cupiditates: (confused; is #3 on the oh no no list)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-23 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks at him for a long moment, then, pointedly, looks downwards. Two fingers hook into the edge of his leather trousers, and he draws them back from his body just enough to make the joke obvious.]

Last time I checked, yeah.
nipzips: (SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-23 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Okay!! Okay, I know that was a weird question to ask, you don't have to rub it in. [ This conversation is so weird!!! He was only making sure, because you can't always expect things to be what they seem these days and he didn't want to accidentally offend anyone. Josuke takes a step back, because he's close enough to be able to see inside Greed's pants and that would just be hella awkward. What a great way to meet somebody ... ]

'Dude's just ... something you say when you're talking to another dude. [ Informative. ]
cupiditates: (047)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-23 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[he's gonna see the d sooner or later, he might as well accept it. But fine! That's a surprise for another day! For now, Greed leans back against the wall, arms folded over his chest.]

To another man. Yeah?

[Just confirming, but okay, he gets it, it's not that complex.]

Where you from, anyway?
nipzips: (a bed of straw)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-23 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Truly a frat house. Someone protect Sora. ]

Huh? Oh. [ What a nice topic change. Now he can stop dying over his faux pas. Thanks Greed. ]

Morioh, Japan. A pretty normal town -- well, if you ignore the Stand attacks.
cupiditates: (talk; there'd be a show about it)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-23 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah? Like what?

[All he knows about Stands is big, buff and pink, so . . . forgive him if he doesn't quite see the danger just yet. Also: Japan isn't a country he's ever heard of, but he also doesn't really care much about other countries, so.]
nipzips: (man)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-23 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
There was a guy with a water-based Stand who would try to get into your body through your nose or mouth, and kill you once inside.

[ Josuke now looks incredibly tired, thinking about Angelo. While he has healed from seeing his Grandfather die, and Angelo's gotten his just desserts, it's still a sore topic when it comes up. ]

He was a real pervert, that one. A real work of art. He tried to get inside my mom.
cupiditates: (talk; canceling plans is like heroin)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-23 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Good thing it was tried, huh?

[Which is meant sympathetically towards Tomoko, actually, if not clumsily worded.]

Did you kill him?
nipzips: (and i'm taken to a place)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-23 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Killing ain't my thing. I've never done it, and I don't wanna start.

[ That doesn't mean Josuke's incapable of cruelty when his rage is set alight, though. While his general demeanor was laid-back, slightly awkward and a little goofy before, he's looking downright cold now as he recounts what had happened. He feels no remorse at all for what he did, and he has no sympathy to offer his victim. ]

But lemme just say I made him a permanent part of the scenery.
cupiditates: (talk; i'm kind of a big deal)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-23 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, well. Something in Greed's demeanor shifts as well, the casual interest giving way to something deeper.]

Oh, yeah? How's that, then?
nipzips: (homie g)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-23 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Should he bother lying about what he did? Will this person he's just met judge him for it? Josuke quickly decides that he doesn't care, and he's not going to apologise for giving a deplorable bastard what he deserves. Angelo is still paying for all that he's done and he'll never harm another person again. Good riddance for everything.

Bluntly: ]
I fused him into a rock. [ There. And he's not sorry. ]
cupiditates: (talk; in terms of instant relief)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-05-23 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah!

[It's incredulous and mildly impressed all at once, his voice containing a hint of a laugh.]

Then again, once he touched your mom it was all over for him, huh? Is he still conscious?
nipzips: (bf)

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-05-24 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ He knows doing something so cruel isn't a thing to be proud of, but he's not sorry for it either. He's glad Greed doesn't try to lecture him on the morality of it all. ]

Who knows? [ Honestly? Probably. Josuke's certain he's heard the guy grunt before, but that could also be his imagination. ]

But not all Stand users are like him. There are a few good guys around. My best friend Okuyasu, for instance -- He's here too.
