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!

[Whoa...]

That's awesome. You could basically break your way through anything with this thing. Does everybody have a fighting spirit where you're from?

[pursestrings]

Damn right, it's awesome! [YEAH!!!!] But nah, not everybody. Pretty much everyone I know, though... So like a dozen people in my hometown?

[windeity]

No different than our abilities then. A few of our friends have their own powers but not everybody. On the other hand, have you met any of the people with Quirks yet? Izuku told me it's more common for people from their world to have them than not.

[pursestrings]

Oh, yeah! That girl, Ochako, the one who can make stuff float! She lifted me up in the air like it was nothing!

[windeity]

Yeah, she told me about hers too! She's really nice. [John is a fan of Ochako already.] Some of the other quirks sound cool, too. So we have a lot of people here with different powers to use. Somebody is bound to use theirs to figure out what's going on here.

[pursestrings]

[The Ochako fan club is already forming...]

Guess someone's bound to do it sooner or later. They oughta hurry up...

[mumble grumble he wants to go home, anyway, finally—] Oh shit, I found it!

[His secret item!! It is... a photograph. Wild.]

[windeity]

I think we're all trying--[He doesn't get to continue his line of thought because Okuyasu's suddenly excited about something and John perks up before his eyes land on the item.]

...a picture? [Yes, okay, pictures are worth a thousand words, blah blah blah, but?] You're sure?

[pursestrings]

I think I'd be pretty stupid to not be sure. Here, look. [He wipes off some dust and holds the picture out to be seen. Look at them, adorable, only one person in this picture is still alive and not mutated and it's Okuyasu.]

That's me when I was a baby. Doesn't get more certain than that, right?

[windeity]

Look I am just checking. [But he floats over a little to get a look at the picture. That is definitely proof? But also what the fuck is JoJo oh my god.]

...family pictures are pretty important, so I will give you that. [He's assuming that's what that is.]

[pursestrings]

[Jojo is a gift and a curse, just like the Nijimura family pictured here from like 15 years ago.]

Right... That's my bro, [the dead one] and my parents.

[He looks at the picture for another moment, quieter, then tucks it into his jacket and gets up from the nasty floor.] At least mine's pocket-sized.

[windeity]

[Yeah. That's...he gets it and there's a solemn nod.] Makes sense. It's a good picture.

[But away it goes and he makes a face at the last comment.] The piano might not be pocket-sized but I can still store it out of the way if I have to.

[pursestrings]

[Wait.... it's so huge...]

How do you put away a whole piano? In this dump?

[windeity]

It's kind of just something special I can do? Sort of like the flying thing.

[pursestrings]

Oh, I thought you meant you had a piano cabinet or something.

[This is LESS WEIRD...] How?

[windeity]

Well you are kind of right? It's storage! Kind of like how I summoned the hammer? I store it in my sylladex and a piano should fit fine.

[pursestrings]

[sylla-who........]

Well now you've gotta let me see it.

[windeity]

Right now? [But he's already moving to head out of the room and drift back to his piano. At least he doesn't have to worry about falling into the hole in the stairs.] Sure, I guess so.

[pursestrings]

[Hell yeah, piano cabinet time. Okuyasu will not fall into the hole, but he probably should be worrying about it; the fact that he doesn't is pure dumb luck. Show him the piano cabinet.]

Yeah, let's see it!

[windeity]

[Thanks for not dying, friendo. But once they're back downstairs and in front of the piano John's going to eye it speculatively. He remembers once upon a time he couldn't fit that stupid harlequin doll in his sylladex because it was too big, but that was also before he started messing with the system and expanded with more cards. A piano should probably be fine? Man, why couldn't Jade be here and just shrink it?

Anyway, he looks upward toward the ceiling, seemingly thinking of something and sorting through his deck for a free card before the piano just. Kind of disappears into thin air? Bye piano.]
