Intro Log.

[awashmods]

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!

John Egbert. Yeah, he's someone I know - my best friend.

[lonered]

Nice guy. Actually gave me a piggyback ride up and out.

[One of the weirder moments of being here which honestly is saying something. Keith shrugs.]

So whoever brought us here brought someone else from your world.

[parodeity]

He's the nicest guy I know. [ confirmation! ] And I've seen, uh, two other people from back there.

[lonered]

Huh. And you all know each other? That's a pretty significant pattern, right? Unless you were all standing next to each other to begin with.

[A thoughtful look. This is a lot of thinking. Keith isn't an idiot by any means, but he's also one hundred percent more about acting than thinking if given the chance.],

I haven't seen a familiar face. I suppose there could be people from the same universe I'm from, that I've just never met. I mean there are a lot of people I've never met, obviously.

[parodeity]

I wasn't standing next to any of them - but yeah, we all know one another? To different degrees, but...like, the two girls have known one another a long time and John and I have known one another a long time, and then we all met up about three years back?

[lonered]

Well. Congrats. You and your posse [Keith no one says posse] are apparently popular for interdimensional kidnapping.

[And Keith figures there has to be a reason. But who the hell knows what. Not Keith. Not yet anyway.]

[parodeity]

I'm not sure I want a posse, it makes me think of like...Austin Powers? Maybe more like a squad. I'd like a squad, that sounds more legit.

[lonered]

Fine. Your squad.

[Gosh. Wow. Be that way. ...squad is a much better word.]

Either way, out of all the people brought here, that many are from one reality and know each other. Super popular. There's gotta be a reason.

[parodeity]

...Whoever is in charge thinks we're hot?

[ it's not that. ]

[lonered]

...yeah that must be it.

[Dave has solved it case closed everyone nothing more to be done here.]
