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!

Got it!

[Estelle shoots him a short thumbs up before rubbing her hands together and then grabbing onto the rope to heft herself up. She's no Joshua, but climbing at least was something Estelle was good at. She works her way up with a steady pace, thankful for the protection her gloves offer on the way up so she can wrap the rope around her hand in places.

Soon enough she's reached the top, and Estelle grips onto the stone edge, heaving herself up carefully.]


Phew. That is so not fun in damp clothes....
whereabout: to make you think of all the bad things you've done (nothing like a long car ride)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-18 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Joshua goes ahead and lowers the bucket again once she's up - he's not sure how well anyone else down there will do with it, but if anyone can handle it he wants it to be ready for them.

And, okay, he didn't really take a moment to react to everything before, because getting Estelle out was his first priority. But this place... ]


Estelle.

[ look at dis shit ]
brightlyshines: (upset)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-18 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Estelle shakes her wrists out once she's up and sitting on the edge of the well, but... well, it's hard not to notice the state of the town now that she's topside. The motion of her hand slows to a stop, red eyes growing wide as she looks around them.

It was....]


What in the world is this?!

[Someone stop her before she tumbles back down the well in shock.]
whereabout: it was stuck in my bedroom ceiling (i found your knife.)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-18 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ He grabs her wrist when he notices a waver in her stance, because what is he here for if not saving Estelle from herself. ]

I don't know.
brightlyshines: (paper tests are hard)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-18 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[A boon of his ninjahax: saving Estelle from breaking her neck since S.1197. She steadies herself, grabbing onto Joshua's arm and standing up quickly once she's regained her balance.]

But this.... how is this even possible? It's like the color's drained out of everything! And the buildings...

[No one's lived here in a long, long time, it looks like.]

The whole place looks abandoned.
whereabout: the hibachi cook if his knife was a hattori hanzo (you wouldn't stop asking)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-18 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Joshua saves Estelle from breaking her neck, Estelle saves Joshua from his crippling self-hatred. The give and take of a healthy relationship! ]

We're still in color, though. So it can't just be the light somehow behaving differently here; it really is the place itself.

[ However that works. ]
brightlyshines: (SIGH)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-18 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[the most supportive couple. Together they'll probably not die horribly. Probably.]

A-at least there's that.... though it's a bit freaky in it's own way that we're the only ones unaffected... This place looks like something out of a nightmare.
whereabout: and put its blood in my hair to warn the others off. (it looks like i murdered a care bear)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-19 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's quiet for a long moment, because when he considers what has the power to do something this weird...well, the only theory he can come up with seems doubtful, because the pieces don't really seem to fit right to blame this on something like the Aureole. An unknown factor with that kind of power, on the other hand, isn't exactly reassuring.

Putting that forward at this early stage doesn't seem productive, honestly. They have enough to worry about. ]


We should get a better look around.
brightlyshines: (turn)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-19 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah....

[Estelle would have thought the Aureole was behind this, too, if it wasn't for the fact that it was rubble at the bottom of the lake now. But the fact that there was something else out there that could do something like this.... well that was a bit unsettling.]

The houses seem like a good place to start, if they're open.
whereabout: in your bed. i would check (there may or may not be knives)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-19 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ haha. if only.

He nods. ]


Doesn't matter if they're open. Let's start there.

[ Yes, he is suggesting breaking and entering. Look, who's gonna care? ]
brightlyshines: (Huh really)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-19 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't...? Oh!

[Right, Joshua can probably break in. Or Estelle can kick a door down, whichever works really.

There are two kinds of people]


Well, let's go then!
whereabout: is that i maced my shadow. (all i remember about walking back home)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-19 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He glances around, considering a direction to start with, and settles for...north! Away they go... ]
