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!

[ Something tells Noctis that the waterlogged, shivering dude that's talking to him now knows that firsthand, and he takes a step towards him, concerned. It's pretty chilly, and that's not even factoring the obviously cold water underneath. ]

Hey, you okay?

[ Is there even a place here to dry off? ]
messianic: (Ready and poised to wax or wane;)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-17 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Minato just offers a somewhat rueful expression at that.]

Yeah... I'm okay. [He lifts the mp3 player hanging around his neck, shrugging.] This still works, so...

[That's all that really matters. He can cope with being wet.]

But yeah, they don't seem very stable here. The bridges, I mean.

[personal profile] nascere 2018-03-17 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah. Noctis notices the mp3 player around his neck, figures that it's the one thing he apparently holds more precious than probably not catching a cold. ]

Yeah, looks like it. I wonder who was here before?

[ Surely there must be people who crossed those bridges, right? Were they dropped into this place like they were? In the meantime, however, he gestures to one of the lodging buildings. ]

Uh, anyway. You wanna head over there to see if you can dry off? [ Not that he's the mothering sort, but you just can't ignore someone if they're soaking wet in front of you, right? ]
messianic: (of plaintive sweetness)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-17 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... right.

[Obviously, Minato. Going and drying off is the logical thing to do after something like that. So he nods, finagling some of his bangs out of his eyes.]

I'll...try that. Thanks. [He tugs off his blazer first (no point keeping it on when he's soaked), and then nods towards said lodgings.]

Have you looked inside any of them yet?
nascere: (42)

[personal profile] nascere 2018-03-18 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Not yet.

[ Yeah -- he hasn't seen any clinics around and it'd be a pain if you catch a cold, buddy. ]

Got distracted with this place. You new here, too, huh? Where are you from?
messianic: (for as we know from dreams)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-18 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Minato feels that. He approaches one of the houses curiously, shoving at the door lightly with his fingertips.

... It opens. Well, okay.]


I'm from Iwatodai. [A beat, and he glances at Noct, before adding to be safe:] In Japan. [It's not going to help.]

What about you?

[ Noctis looks at him blankly. Here's another one from a place he's never heard of before, and he's not sure what to make of that. ]

Uh -- Lucis. In... Eos. [ He's not sure if that helps, either, but it's good to know that this phenomenon doesn't seem to be limited to his own world. Then: ]

I'm Noctis.
messianic: (who doesn't wish)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-18 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[... Yeah. That means nothing to him; he pokes his head back out of the door to blink blankly at Noctis in response.

...]


Minato. My name's Minato.

[...uh.]

Sorry--where's... Eos again?
nascere: (43)

[personal profile] nascere 2018-03-19 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh -- [ How does he even put it? ]

It's... a planet. [ He clarifies. Don't ask him its coordinates in the solar system, buddy, he has no idea. ] You don't know it too, huh?
messianic: (For thou my death dost tell:)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-19 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

Dang.]


No... I've never heard of it.

[...Minato shakes his head, rummaging around the house he stuck his head into and finally, successfully emerging with a blanket.

it's pretty dusty, but he'll just kind of try to shake all of that dust off before he actually uses it to dry off.]


I guess we really are from really, really different places. It's a little hard to believe still, but...

[Too many things that just can't be explained at all, really.]
nascere: (21)

[personal profile] nascere 2018-03-20 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Weird, huh?

[ He's contemplative -- there's nothing to be done for it right now, right? It only makes things more confusing. What's happening around here? Who was it that brought them from different worlds, getting them all here?

Noctis takes care to wait, but peers into the empty house after he's emerged from it, puzzled. ]


D'you think there were people here before us?
messianic: (We who have seen)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
There has to have been some people, right...?

[He glances around the house as well, head tilted.]

What else would these houses be for? But... It seems like they've been gone a really, really long time.

[A beat, and softly:]

I wonder where they went...
nascere: (53)

[personal profile] nascere 2018-03-21 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If they went anywhere at all.

Maybe they're all dead, and they're bound for an unpleasant surprise somewhere down the line. Or maybe they all ran away. The possibilities are endless, and disturbing. Noctis shifts, before he starts off towards another set of buildings, waiting for his new companion in case he wants to come along. ]


Maybe. But it looks like it hasn't been lived in for a long time.
messianic: (Farewell farewell my pleasures past!)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-21 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[No Noct, no, that's too depressing to contemplate.

But naturally Minato follows along, blanket draped over his shoulders now like a cape. Why not, really...]


You got that right...

[He tilts his head, expression contemplative.]

Maybe if we figure out where they went, we can figure out how we got here, too.
