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!

[A remarkable turn of events really, that somehow awkward + awkward came out to something better than double awkward. Keith can't help but look suprised at the question.]

Yeah, of course. I mean, what do you want to know? I don't mind talking about it.

[A lot of it is fairly unbelievable in a way, but there's a lot familiar as well, somehow.]

[bufudyne]

[A stroke of luck!!]

Are there alien planets out there? With alien peoples? I would be quite interested in hearing about them.

[lonered]

Oh, yeah. There are, a lot. We're definitely not alone in the universe. And some species don't really have a planet of their own anymore.

[Like the Alteans. Like the Galra, for that matter.] Some of them look a lot like humans. Some look entirely different.

[bufudyne]

I see... what would be the most unusual appearing alien, would you say?

[Pls describe... it’s for the sake of art. ]

[lonered]

Uh. Well. I mean some of the Galra are pretty unique looking. Really, really purple. Pointed ears. Darker purple markings on their skin, their face. A lot of their eyes just sort of... glow. Yellow, usually. Not all though. There's something almost feline about them.

[Feline an feral, even among the Galra they call allies, his fellow Blades.] Still humanoid though.

The Arusians are different too. They're small. Really small. And, honestly, kind of adorable? Curled horns like rams, almost?

[bufudyne]

Interesting...

[Yusuke murmurs to himself and maybe he’s got his sketchbook in his hand and he might be attempting to sketch a rough picture of what Keith is describing. He nods intermittently as he listens. ]

Curled horns like rams, hmmm. What were they like?

[lonered]

The Arusians? Pretty tribal, I guess. They'd built a religion around the Castle of Lions where it had been resting dormant on their planet for ten thousand years. And they thought Voltron was an avenging angel come to punish them until Allura explained it to them.

[Gosh even that feels like forever ago. It's been such a long time.]

...they were also very huggy.

[bufudyne]

[Okay, you just threw a whole lot of terms and words into that conversation. Yusuke pauses and furrows his brow.]

A few more questions, if you'll permit. What is the Castle of Lions? And Voltron?

[lonered]

(( to the overflow! ))
