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!

[ Fierce is exactly what he's going for here, so good to know it's worked. He's very resourceful when it comes to playing hero, you see.

(And maybe he's so good at it because there's still a tiny flicker of an ember in his heart that still burns with genuine want for recognition over good deeds. A part of him that wished to be a real hero.) ]

That is the main hypothesis I'm currently working with, yes. The method itself is unknown as of yet, but from what I have gathered, we all have one thing in common: the fact that none of us are here out of our own free will.

[ That is the very definition of kidnapping, you know. But to what purpose... ]

[messianic]

[He supposes that's true--that's the definition of kidnapping. But some of them have some very...particular...circumstances, so...]

That's true. [Hm...] Whatever method it was, it had to be something pretty crazy. Have you seen some of the people here?

They seem to be from very different places than what I'm used to. [Very...VERY different.]

[doublecrowss]

[ Clearly Minato should divulge these very particular circumstances. It would be brand new information for Akechi to process. ]

The ones who claim to not be human, you mean? Yes, I have. As a matter of fact, one of them took me by the wrist and sprung up in the air, about thirty centimeters or so. It was... quite the experience.

[ He's not actually as alarmed as he's making it sound, of course. ]

[messianic]

[Y...yeah....]

Yeah, exactly. Things aren't exactly normal here... from the looks of things.

[A beat, and he adds:]

I believe them, when they say they're from different worlds. [It's insane, but also once you've seen the Velvet Room, things start seeming a lot less ridiculous in general.]
