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!

Oh, you can use fire magic?

[Charlotte looks genuinely relieved though, and she quickly approaches the fire. She's wearing clothes that are absolutely not suited for being soaked in icy water, so she really does appreciate it.]

That's really handy! Thank you!

[skatebird]

[ Oh jeez, another girl. Yata's at least more prepared for is this time after dealing with Estelle earlier, so while he turns faintly red he's less of an embarrassed mess this time around. ]

S'nothing.

[ ... ]

And it's not really magic.

[axefaire]

[i'm so sorry, yata.]

Oh, it isn't? What is it, then? I've never heard of people creating fire without magic!

[skatebird]

It's...

[ Yata trails off. After a moment, it's clear he doesn't have an answer. ]

... You know, just something I can do. It's not a spell or anything like that.

[axefaire]

[...Huh. So it's not magic, but it's just something he can do. Suuuuure. (It's totally magic.)

But Charlotte will leave it alone for the time being because she is grateful for the fire.]

It was awfully nice of you to set this up for everyone! Now we can dry out our clothes!

[And hair, in her case. Ugh.]

[skatebird]

[ It's definitely magic, but Yata's used to magic being things from video games and manga. This just feels different. ]

I needed it anyway. No reason not to share, right?

[ Yata talks and acts pretty rough, but he's ultimately a good guy. ]

Dunno how long it'll last us, though. We'll need something better than a fire if it gets any colder.

[axefaire]

It's definitely appreciated!

[She'll wring her hair out now that she's feeling a bit more alive and less frozen. This really is so kind of you...]

I suppose we'll have to check all the buildings and see what we can find. Hopefully there are some nice thick blankets!

[skatebird]

And something to wash them with. They're probably all gross after this long, you know?

[ Yata's pretty rough around the edges, but surprisingly domestic despite that. ]
