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!

[it's not the worst idea, trying to climb up and get out that way. gran's attention is easily secured for this, and he nods when joshua asks for a hand in this quickly formed plan.]

Are you sure that this is safe?

[he doesn't quite care if something happens to himself, but if he landed and broke a leg or landed on someone down here, then, well... that wasn't going to be good for anyone.]

[whereabout]

Not entirely.

[ Blunt as hell! But he's not gonna lie about it. ]

But I'd wager I'm better at this than most of these people. [ Delivered like a simple fact, because he's not really into bragging? He's just...done this kind of thing a lot. ] And staying down here isn't safe, either. In water this cold, I'd guess we have...twenty minutes, at best, before exhaustion starts setting in.

[ It's a rough estimate, without knowing the temperature of the water, but he's sure that the longer they're down here, the harder it's going to be to get out. ]

[surprisingly enough, Gran's survival rating when left to his own devices wasn't exactly the greatest. he didn't even think about the water starting to creep into his energy levels, so when Joshua starts talking with authority abundant in his voice, Gran feels like he can trust this guy.

he nods, looking up the side of the wall to see if there are any kinks to grab hold of in the initial ascent.]

I'll give you a boost to that scrape in the wall. [it's not that easy to see down here, but he thinks it looks like a foothold. only one way to find out.

Gran lowers himself and interlocks his fingers.]

Don't fall, okay? I'll try to catch you if it happens, but the higher you go up, the more dangerous it's going to get.

[whereabout]

[ He won't argue with a boost, even if he thinks he'd manage without it, so he gives Gran a grateful nod and moves into place, but before he puts his foot in Gran's hands - ]

Don't worry. I start having doubts, I'll come back down before gravity makes me.

[ - okay, now he's ready. ]
