awashlogs | Intro Log.

Ding, dong, bell,
Pussy's in the well.
Who put her in?
Little Johnny Thin.
Who pulled her out?
Little Tommy Stout.
What a naughty boy was that,
To try to drown poor pussy cat,
Who never did him any harm,
But killed all the mice in the farmer's barn.

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.

But most importantly of all... you're not alone.

Welcome to Awash's first intro log, everyone! Please review the FAQ and rules before playing. 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.

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.

Further information can be found here at the OOC post, and don't forget to greet your fellow players here!

I don't know of these Sept-Terrions either...it would seem odd for whatever brought us here to have brought us from different world be a creature from one of ours.

[He's already accepted that this is a thing.]

[ Creature...well, not exactly, but you know what? Not really worth going into. ]

Most forces wouldn't have a compelling reason to go...beyond the borders, like that.

[ The idea of different worlds entirely is weird, but he can accept that there's not a better explanation at hand. The cultural differences with the people he's talked to so far are already enough to establish that he and Estelle are likely the only Zemurians here.

(Like, meters? Who the heck calls an arge a "meter"?) ]

Only those who thrive on chaos, I suppose.

[Like a certain dark aspect of humanity he knew. Tch.]

Well then, perhaps exploration is the best way to proceed. Although I admittedly do not trust these boats.

Definitely not the boats.

[ Joshua's not exactly a sailor, but he has a little bit of experience boating. If there's nobody with real knowledge here, he'd be as good a person as any to attempt any naval exploration.

And he is sure as hell not about to do so in any of these. ]

The forest will be easier to explore. But I suspect we'll want to fix some of these sooner or later.

I agree. Sadly, it is not something I was taught...

[Rich people do not fix things, they buy them.]

How are you with defense? Should we run into something in the forest?

I can hold my own.

[ ...which is an understatement, to be honest. ]

Then I think we can plan for an excursion during the next few days. Unless you wish to visit it right now...

No, a few days is reasonable. We should be securing our resources before we start pushing out past the town, anyway.

[ For instance: time to build a water filter! ]

I'm gonna assume nothing happened to them since Kei wasn't aware about the shadow creatures
