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!

[......Shiho could walk right past him and ignore the fact that he was both bleeding and shivering.

Or so she says, but as she walks past the Bluo district, she's already giving him a worried look.]

...Hey. Are you okay? [Because that definitely does not look okay.]

[dualtone]

[ Fushimi glances at her and really, for a minute, considers the merits of saying that he's fine -- but someone asking probably isn't going to take that for an answer when he's so visibly not fine. This isn't home, and thus far it seems like people are a lot nosier than he's used to. It's almost like they have some human decency...?

That can't be it. ]

I'm trying to find first aid supplies, or shelter. [ Someplace with a fireplace would be ideal. He wants to warm up. He wants to set himself on fire, actually, because that sounds cozier than this. ]

[good_ideas]

[Thank goodness he hasn't said that he's fine. Shiho isn't looking forward to argue with an injured person, today.]

Clearly.

[First aid supplies she can maybe help him with, along with the shelter...and a fire would be helpful too.]

Come on, then. I'll help.

[dualtone]

Whatever. [ "Come on", she says, like limping along has more than one speed...!! Fushimi clicks his tongue. He's been getting a lot of sympathy from strangers (okay, like. two.) and it makes all the hair on the back of his neck stand up. He doesn't like any of this, but...

He also isn't certain he'll live if he passes out from blood loss, either. ]

Have you seen anything useful?

[ He's not exactly trying to be nice, but he's trying to not be 100% outright mean, at least. ]

[good_ideas]

[She'd help him...but that would involve touching him. So she's just going to slow down and keep looking back at him to make sure he hasn't.....fainted away or something as they're walking towards where she knows there should be shelter and at least a clean-ish place for him to sit down.]

Depends on what you'd think is useful. Lots of dust. And wood for splints. Laptops.

[ overflow! ]
