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!

I see. This place... has made me quite emotional.

[But, okay. Well. Why not say?]

I am an artist. Colours are part of the world, part of its essential essence, one may say. Without them, how am I supposed to regard this place? It is lacking, it is not right.

If I seem really upset, I suppose it is because I cannot reconcile this place with how my mind's eye says it should be.
messianic: (I stood in the cold on the porch)

... Oh...

[He supposes that makes sense but wow.

That was dramatic.

What does he say to that...?]


I see... I guess it really is very dreary here.
bufudyne: (pic#11526530)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-17 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
Quite. Quite dreary.

[Sorry Minato for the dramatics... at least he's gotten his longest spiel (for now) out of the way?!]

Were that there even one place with colour, I would be able to breathe...
messianic: (Fulfilling joy; fulfilling pain?-)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-17 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Hm...]

Well... there's us, right?

[That's better than nothing.]

We've got some color, so... it's not all dreary if we stick together. [Cheesy.]
bufudyne: (pic#11722549)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-17 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[The cheese was super effective. You're speaking his language, Minato.]

Yes, that is very true. I thank you, I had nearly forgotten something as important as that.
messianic: (With its own tints the sober grey.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-17 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[You know, so long as Yusuke's looking happier, that's good enough.]

Maybe we can fix the rest of it too, if we figure out a way.

[All things equal, Minato's not in any hurry to go back home, so.]
bufudyne: (pic#11368286)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-17 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It does not seem right to leave it like this, yes... though I am assuming that this is not how this place started off.

It could be a possibility that this place was always as such.

[He gestures.]
messianic: (for as we know from dreams)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-17 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I was assuming it didn't start off like this too. People were living here before, right? It seems...

[Kind of depressing...?]

... It's hard to imagine people living in a place without color at all.
bufudyne: (pic#11722558)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-18 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems, [he agrees, glancing askance toward buildings.]

I find it hard to imagine as well.

[He shakes his head.] It would become quite draining after a time. At least, that is what I think.
messianic: (Welcome my present pain!)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-18 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Admittedly it seems to be draining Yusuke more than most but yeah.]

Well...

For now, I guess it's just good we're not alone here. I'm Minato, by the way. Arisato Minato.
bufudyne: (pic#11728056)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-19 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
You've been most kind to listen to my distress, Arisato.

[Yusuke lowers his head politely.]

I am Kitagawa Yusuke.
messianic: (With its own tints the sober grey.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-19 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Er.]

I'm glad I could help. [...?? He didn't do anything but sure.]

You're from Japan too, then, Kitagawa-san? [There have been a lot of... Not...from Japan. So he has to ask.]
bufudyne: (Default)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-20 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I am. I attend Kosei High School, in Tokyo.

[Yusuke looks at him, wondering if he'll recognise the name... maybe not.

There's a ton and a half of high schools out there, after all.]
messianic: (when you are dead.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm... yeah, he doesn't 100% recognize it.]

I'm in Iwatodai. [So--]

Over at Gekkoukan High School. It's kind of nice to meet someone who's from the same area.

[It's not super far from Tokyo, after all.]
bufudyne: (pic#11526525)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-20 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Too many heckin schools.]

Yes, quite. It is reassuring.

I have been searching for faces familiar to me, but I have not yet had much luck.
messianic: (With its own tints the sober grey.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm... He wonders if he should also be looking for familiar faces. It hadn't crossed his mind, considering his circumstances, but...]

Can you describe who you're looking for? Maybe I can help.
bufudyne: (pic#11526525)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-21 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course.

[As he opens his mouth he pauses, reconsiders.] Actually, better yet, I have sketches of several of them.

[because sometimes you get bored during phantom thief planning and you scribble your friends (THAT'S NORMAL RIGHT) but Yusuke's digging out a sketchbook...]
messianic: (Farewell farewell my pleasures past!)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-21 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[......?]

Oh, you do...? That's convenient... [And weird, but he accepts it. Yusuke is clearly an ARTEEST.]
bufudyne: (pic#11722550)

[personal profile] bufudyne 2018-03-22 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Them ARTEEST types.

Yusuke flips open the sketchbook in question and after going through a couple of pages he shows Minato on with several profile sketches of Akira, Ann and Ryuji (less effort has been put into this sketch)... and a cat. And then a weird anthropomorphic cat.

Don't even worry about it.]


These are a few of my friends.
messianic: (did not forebear)
