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!

[Whatever Akira was expecting, it wasn't quite that.

But maybe he should have been expecting that, because how else would you use a bat to get into a convenience store? Either way, it seems like they can get in now - hopefully, there's useful stuff inside.

Akira folds his arms, though he doesn't look particularly judgmental.]

...This your first time looting a store?

[He looks like an old hand.]

[skatebird]

[ Is this--what? Yata gives Akira a baffled look, like he's the one flaunting social norms here. ]

No? My town isn't some weird abandoned place.

[ And as if he's not completely contradicting his lack of experience, he uses his bat-staff to start poking down the jagged shards of glass that hang from the window frame. No reason to risk anyone getting hurt. ]

[theshowsover]

[Akira watches that impassively, then shrugs when Yata looks back at him.]

You just seem to know what you're doing.

[He would also point out that a town doesn't really need to be a "weird abandoned place" for someone to break into a store. Not that he's ever done that before. At least, not in the real world.]

[skatebird]

It's just busting out a window, right?

[ There, nice and free of any stabbing hazards. Yata steps over the window sill, glancing over his shoulder to see if Akira will follow. ]

Haven't you ever forgotten your keys or something?

[theshowsover]

[He will. It's not really like there's anyone here to stop them.]

I've never had to bust out a window to get them.

[Partly because he knows how to pick locks.]

[skatebird]

[ Man, Akira's lucky. Yata looks a little jealous. ]

Man, really? I had to knock out my basement window and climb in that way, once...

[ But hey, at least it's made it easier for them to find food now. Yata approaches the first more-or-less intact shelf he sees and picks up a can, but... ]

... Guess we just gotta open 'em and hope we like what's inside.
