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!

Yeah, I was stuck.

[ Terra just sort of looks at his hands and then at the walls surrounding them. He was really starting to dislike how dark and cramped it was down here (it really wasn't cramped but it was starting to feel that way.) ]

It wouldn't be the kind of situation anyone would be able to get me out of easily.

Stuck.... like...

[Stuck how? Estelle goes silent for a moment, trying to figure out what kind of stuck Terra could mean.

And then he's glancing at the walls, and something clicks in her mind as she gapes.]

Err... you weren't in something like prison, were you?

[buriedearth]

... It was something like a prison.

[ He sounds kind of awkward now. He's not sure if he's ready to explain to someone he doesn't even know yet that he fucked up hardcore, allowing an old guy to possess his body, and screw things up with it. So essentially he was definitely in a place 'like a prison', unable to do anything about it. Which sucked.

It was also still too dark in here and--wow sudden subject change go. ]

Maybe we should find a way to get out of this place. Do you know how to climb?

[brightlyshines]

[Something 'like' a prison? So where the heck was he.....?

Estelle watches Terra with confusion for a moment, but she can hear the awkward tone in his voice. He didn't want to talk about it, huh....?

Well, alright then.]

I can climb....! Trees, anyway. This is kind of a whole different level for me. What about you?

[buriedearth]

[ Terra was relieved and the tension left his shoulders somewhat when she followed along the subject change. ]

I can climb. Anything like this is good with me.

[ He thinks about something for a moment. ]

If you want, you can get on my back and hold on while I climb up. It wouldn't be too much trouble for me to manage.
