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!

To be careful is certainly the best course right now.

[ (Which apparently includes trusting a stranger taking him into a portal of darkness.)

Shifting his spear from his right hand to his left he takes her offered hand gently, but makes sure he has a firm hold. He then follows her, careful to make certain his spear does not clip the edges of the darkness, and braces himself for whatever might come.]

[Luckily for him she's a good girl with no evil intentions.

He'd definitely be able to feel the darkness inside the portal, though, if he weren't with Naminé. Not inherently evil, but heavy and ever looming, pressing down on one's sense of self in its eagerness to pull everything into it. Since she's with him, though, she can protect him from all of that, gently glowing white beside him as they walk.]

It'll take a moment to walk to the end of the corridor, but we'll be on the other side in no time.

[His head slowly goes back and forth as they walk the 'corridor', and his grip on his spear tightens. His instincts tell him that he is coming to no harm because of the girl, but the whatever it is beyond the girl... his instincts also tell him that whatever is out there would be difficult to beat with only a spear.

So although they aren't there yet he still raises his voice to say,]

Thank you.
