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!

[There's a pause followed by a perplexed frown. Kyrie please.]

I mean the idea was that you were coming, too, so that the conversation would be on the move. It is way easier that way. [It's not even an order, he's just antsy!! Alas.]

[crowsigliere]

"Considering I never agreed to go with you, I fail to see how it would be easier--the farther away you are, the louder I'll have to shout."

He says all this very matter-of-factly, as though John is an idiot for not thinking of it himself. Kids these days, expecting any old scarecrow off the street to just follow them...

[windeity]

[Hm...]

Well then...I guess we can catch up later. [John???] We also have no idea when it will be dark and stuff so I want to cover as much ground as possible. Is that a better idea?

[crowsigliere]

Look, it's fine.

"If you don't die, and happen to learn a thing or two from the forest, I do expect you to hold up your part of the bargain. By that time, I'm sure I'll have more information gathered myself." A pause. Then, "If you do die, then you have my sincere condolences."

He doesn't sound very condoling though, does he...

[KYRIE!!! John looks a little perturbed for a few seconds before...he just laughs. Look sometimes at the end of the day you just ignore people being weird and sometimes mean.]

I'll let you know what I find out! [Dying, apparently, isn't an option.] Be careful until then, Kyrie. See you later! [And there's a cheerful wave and off he goes to hopefully not die.]
