awashlogs | 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!

Only if they didn't surrender. I can melt it quickly too.

Hardcore. [ nts: never annoy this kid enough to get frozen, it would be A PAIN ] So, how long does your ice last without you bein' around?

Depends on how much of it I make.

I haven't tried to make it a long time. It'd be inconvenient to have to drive around that much ice.

Also, is it like safe to consume??

It's just ice. You're not going to get hurt from eating it.

Well, yeah, but is it sanitary??? Is it made up of your DNA.

It's not like it has my blood in it.

I have some concerns that is the first thing you went to after DNA?

There was a guy with a quirk where he licked up blood to paralyze people.

[Some things are unforgettable.

Even if he'd really rather not remember.]

...I probably shouldn't say "kinky" right here, should I.

I'd rather you didn't.

...That makes the urge stronger.

[ he is a simple man ]

... I believe in your self restraint.

[ ...alas, shouto is to be let down. ]

Kinky.

[ It hasn't even been one whole day and he's already disappointed in a stranger. ]

Was it that irresistible?

Hasn't someone tellin' you not to do a thing ever made you want to do it more?

[Shouto's expression goes very dark for a moment.]

The opposite way around. I hated him.

...You lost me. Someone telling you to do a thing made you want to do it more?

Somebody telling me to do something made me not want to do it.

Uh. What something?

Use my fire.

[Shouto pokes his head into one of the houses near the well before stepping into it, checking that there aren't any laptops or valuables around. So far it looks clear.]

Oh. [ okay, he won't press more. ] I dunno, being told do something - it depends on the something, for me.

[ he follows along after... ]

[He hums softly.] It depends on who's asking.

Think this is a good spot to put it?

[It's one of those brick-ish looking houses. It's hard to tell when there's no color.]

Yeah, I think so. We should make a sign after, or let people know where it is...

[ on the network, perhaps? ]

I don't have any sign making equipment.

But I think I heard about forums on those laptops.
