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!

This appearance surely lends to how we perceive it as well. Were it to have colour, I know I would not consider it so quiet or unnerving.

It may, in fact, be more peaceful as a place filled with colour.

[Yusuke sighs and shakes his head...]

[totheno1]

[Not a bad observation at all. A keen sense of mind, perhaps.]

That's true. However, I have learned from past adventures that peaceful does not always equal safe. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Perhaps the lack of color is a boon with that consideration, as we are more alert due to it.

[He looks back at him.]

The lack of smell is something unique as well, it draws out the smell of everyone else more clearly for whatever may lurk...if anything alive is around, in any case.

[bufudyne]

[Yusuke makes a small, distasteful noise at the thought of smelling everyone else but Nanjo does have a point.]

I do not doubt there is something sinister at work here, to make a place such as this.

However, it is difficult to know where we can start when it is so empty.

[totheno1]

[Don't worry Yusuke, you're not the only one not too excited about the prospect of having to smell people for the upcoming days.]

Hmm...a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

[Okay that's enough proverbs for one day, Nanjo.]

I agree. Wither it be by a man or a god's hand, something has befallen this place, whatever it is. Perhaps we can find clues if we look inside the building themselves. I believe we should both be able to protect ourselves accordingly should anything go wrong.

[bufudyne]

For what reason do you say that?

[Might be your fake sword, Yusuke... Could be your fake sword... A very well-made model sword, but fake nevertheless.]

Do you have some manner of weapon, if need be?

[totheno1]

Your weapon.

[And your Persona, but since Yusuke hadn't mentioned that yet, neither was Nanjo going to. At his question, he turned around, the sword in its sheath.]

I have something similar to you as well.

[In more ways than one.]

[bufudyne]

Ah, I see.

[Very good. Sword buddies. He hadn't noticed.]

In that case, we should be prepared if we explore these buildings.

[totheno1]

I agree. Who knows what type of creatures we may encounter inside of them.

[Granted honestly at this point he would enjoy meeting something other than the quiet, smell-less, color-less world they are all stuck in.]

I'm Kei Nanjo, by the way. It is nice to meet you.

[bufudyne]

Yusuke Kitagawa. A pleasure to meet you as well.

[He introduces himself with a perfunctory nod of his head.]

...Shall we start an exploration now?

lemme know if you wanna continue in overflow post

[totheno1]

Yes.

[He'll take the lead for now, as they walk into the first building. There's not much to be found, unfortunately.]

Ahh. Rather disappointing.

yes ofc

[bufudyne]

It is too early to draw a conclusion... let's look a little more.

[Though, well, the majority of what's going to be found is dust. Alas.]

[totheno1]

[ Continued here! ]
