Intro Log.





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!

[ She would be able to calculate to imperial standards well enough, but..."arge"? That brings her to pause as she shifts her gaze to him. ]

I beg your pardon?

[ Did she hear that correctly? ]
whereabout: that telling a woman to chill will get him murdered (he obv doesn't know)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-16 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, okay, now he's turning away from the wall, because that...seems like an odd thing to question, from his viewpoint. ]

Ten arge.
cestmagnifique: (i like to live expensive)

[personal profile] cestmagnifique 2018-03-17 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ So she didn't hear wrong. Is she really so unfamiliar with a system of measurement? It seems strange. ]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that unit. Do you know the conversion factor to metric?
whereabout: the hibachi cook if his knife was a hattori hanzo (you wouldn't stop asking)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-17 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Me...tric? ]

I'm not familiar with metric, sorry. If it helps...

[ He frowns, and holds his hands about a meter apart. ]

This is an arge.
cestmagnifique: (if i rise like the sun)

[personal profile] cestmagnifique 2018-03-18 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
You're not?

[ How strange. Metric is really the international and scientific standard.

But that does help. A light bulb goes on over her head. ]


Ah! Then we may not be so out of alignment. "10 arge", you said?

[ She looks back up, then nods. ]

Yes, I'd say that ten meters is a decent estimate. Unfortunately that puts our goal quite a ways out of reach.
whereabout: and still think pizza lunchables are the shit (we can be functional adults)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-18 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. Who even calls that a meter, man.

But he looks up again, then returns his attention to the wall. ]


It's not too bad.

[ For him, at least, but it only takes one person up top to scout out a better means of ascending for the rest of them. ]

It'd be nice if I had some more gear on me, but I can work with this.
cestmagnifique: (the weight of the storm)

[personal profile] cestmagnifique 2018-03-18 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ That gets her attention. Mitsuru turns, uncrossing her arms and resting one hand at her hip. ]

You can scale these walls?
whereabout: in your bed. i would check (there may or may not be knives)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-18 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
The handholds aren't great, but I think they're good enough.
cestmagnifique: (just to see you in the dark)

[personal profile] cestmagnifique 2018-03-18 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...

[ The rock appears fairly smooth and slippery to her, but... ]

Very well. Let's see what you can do.
whereabout: and put its blood in my hair to warn the others off. (it looks like i murdered a care bear)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-19 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ He was hoping for someone to spot him just in case, and now he's...well, maybe got someone to spot but also who is probably judging him. It's a good thing he's not prone to performance anxiety.

He reaches up, hooking his hand into a small crevice, and then braces one foot against a small protrusion below, aaaand he's off!

...okay, not too fast. His movements are careful, but his pace is steady nonetheless as he starts working his way up. ]
cestmagnifique: (she prays to her god)

[personal profile] cestmagnifique 2018-03-20 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mitsuru does not grade on a curve. Do our best.

She watches carefully, step by step. He's making decent progress, all things considered. ]


I underestimated you.
whereabout: is that i maced my shadow. (all i remember about walking back home)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-20 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Most people do.

[ Which he's not insulted about, because honestly, it's not surprising? The slim pretty boy is actually a former assassin with a ludicrous number of kills under his belt and a well-honed talent for breaking and entering. Sure, that's exactly the kind of thing everyone expects. ]

If I get a rope down here, is that enough for you to get up?

[ He suspects that it won't be for at least a few of them, given the arm strength necessary, but finding another path up is going to take more time, and the faster they get everyone out of this, the better. ]
cestmagnifique: (cursing your lover's name)

[personal profile] cestmagnifique 2018-03-22 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mitsuru tests the walls again--perhaps if she followed a similar path, she could follow his lead. Though the boots she's wearing wouldn't be the best for scaling walls. ]

Yes, with some guidance. But what about the others?
whereabout: and left its corpse on the wall as a warning (i killed an earwig)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-23 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
We have more people up top, we have more manpower to find a way up that works for everyone.

[ He has a couple of half-formed ideas, but it depends greatly on what they find up top. ]
