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!

That could be part of the intent--give us hope that we can climb to freedom but find the top has been barred over.

[ May as well be honest, right? ]

Nevertheless, we can't afford not to try. Unfortunately, the walls are fairly slick...

[windeity]

If you're worried about the top being barred over, I can go check? It should not take that long to get up there and check out what's going on. [Is he purposefully ignoring her comment about the walls? Yes.]

[cestmagnifique]

[ Yes, yes he is. Which begs the question... ]

How do you expect to accomplish that?

[windeity]

[What if he soon ascends just enough to hover a few inches above the water? He grins down at her.]

It should be easy from here.

[cestmagnifique]

[ ...



Yes, that would do it. Her eyes widen as she watches him float up above her head and continues on upwards. ]

You can fly.

[ That works. ]

What can you see?

[windeity]

[Give him a second to think about this.]

You sure you want me to go ahead without you to check? We can probably go together.

[cestmagnifique]

..I beg your pardon?

[ Are you going to carry her?

Is she going to mount him like a horse? ]

[windeity]

I just mean...like...if you wanted a lift up? I could probably help. [This probably could have been planned better.]

[cestmagnifique]

...

[ WELL. ]

...If...that wouldn't be a trouble.

[ AHEM. ]

This is strictly business, after all!

[windeity]

Yeah, of course! That it's strictly business, not that it is trouble. [Aha. Wow okay.] I...what's easier for you? I can carry you up from the front or the back.

[...Mitsuru's in a skirt. This complicates things, actually, now that he thinks on it.]
