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!

If you mean a city with crowded-in buildings, yeah. If you mean a dilapidated urban wasteland...kind of yes, kind of no? The lack of color is brand new, though.

[ hey, momo, sup. dave at least seems to be casually interested in his surroundings and in the other people around. ]

[creatability]

Well, yes, I meant the obviously neglected state of the town. The buildings aren't that different from where I'm from, aside from the lack of color.

[Sup dave.]

Was it just abandoned? It seems a little too orderly for an evacuated place.

[parodeity]

Mm...I think if it were abandoned, we'd see more like...vehicles and other shit? Like, I agree it's too orderly for it to be somethin' people left behind, you know?

[ a frown. ]

Maybe they left with the color, whoever "they" were.

[creatability]

I'm going to guess that the lack of color is unnatural, and it wasn't always this way.

[Obviously. But more...pigment has to exist in this place, because they have color]

It feels like someone using a quirk, though I don't know what purpose that might have.

[parodeity]

[ he has by now discussed quirks at least... ]

Oh, you have a quirk? What's yours? [ he knows, like, two other people so far. there are so many of these kids running around. he really needs to be up to date on all the lingo... ]

[creatability]

I do.

[She smiles at him, glad that he gets it.]

Mine is Creation. I can...make things. [For example, she touches her arm and out pops a perfect copy of his sunglasses.]

Anything, really.

[parodeity]

That is...extremely useful, actually. Are there limits? Do the items, like, disappear?

[ in Wherever We Are land, items are probably Pretty Useful ]

[creatability]

They have to be less mass than I am, they can't be alive, and I have to have food in me to make them. Otherwise I'll start to get sick. But they're otherwise permanent.

[parodeity]

Huh. You're gonna have a lot of barter system offers once people learn that, I bet. Since there aren't, like...stores...around...?

[ momo, the hero to everyone. ]

[creatability]

Well, I don't really intend to charge for it. If I can keep up a high caloric intake, then I'll happily make what we need to get by.

[And probably set herself up a little extravagantly.]

[parodeity]

I mean, what we "need" is one thing, but there'll be things people "want", too. Since, like, if it's someone's birthday you can't really go to the store...well, you can if you want canned gray food or like, mostly moth-eaten clothes, maybe.

[creatability]

I suppose that's fair. Though I've never used it for profit or anything.

[That sort of defeats the purpose of being a law abiding hero.]

I didn't get your name, by the way. I'm Momo.

[parodeity]

Dave Strider. And I suppose not, since you must be in that hero program, too, right? Still, it's pretty baller. Let me know if you ever feel like dumb requests, it sounds like it'd be cool to see what all you can get up to beyond shades.

[creatability]

[She puts said shades on. And there is a lack of meme.]

Well, yes, I am. How'd you know?

[parodeity]

[ it's ok. dave plays the meme in his head, and all is right with the world, ]

The other two guys I talked to who mentioned quirks both mentioned the hero program. Kid with kinda green hair and a kid with white and red hair?

[creatability]

Classmates. Izuku-kun and Todoroki-kun.

[...]

Quirks are a new concept to you?

[parodeity]

Yeah, today's the first time I ever heard of 'em. So I figure we're from pretty different places?

[creatability]

So it seems. It's a little hard to imagine a world without them, though. I suppose you mean reality?

[parodeity]

Different realities, different universes - take your pick, honestly. I'm not sure which way would be the most accurate.

[creatability]

Yes I suppose semantics are pointless. You are from Earth?

[parodeity]

Yep. Houston, Texas, specifically. So. The United States?

[creatability]

Ah. I'm from Japan. I've never been to America...but I've always wanted to?

[parodeity]

Oh, yeah? Any parts in particular? Texas as an answer will obviously get you bonus points, because I'm a biased fuck.

[creatability]

Texas then. I...haven't really planned out much?

[parodeity]

Honestly, I've always wanted to see all the tourist trap places?
