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!

Town

[personal profile] youwillbeunequaled 2018-03-18 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[A bit later into the day, it seemed that most people had taken to finding shelter or exploring the town.
Tonbokiri had also started exploring, and is now looking down into one of the canals of the district near the water. The surface is not far from the level of the street and when he looks in-- he's jolted from his reflection, literally, at the man's voice. But speaking to a person who is coloured is a welcome sight right now.]


Yes. That is, everything except us who were in the well. And interestingly, my horse also, who seems to have been sent here as well. But... Have you tried looking into the water?

[Tonbokiri points down, his expression clearly unsettled.
His reflection had been completely colourless, and even now he's looking down at himself, to make sure that his own colour didn't get spirited away. He can't help a sigh of relief at seeing everything still as it should be.]

Mm, I noticed that, too... Having no color must be a quality of the water itself. And everything else, of course.

[ it doesn't worry Lupin quite as much, but he tends to approach things from a logical standpoint - if the water can't show any color, then it makes sense that reflections on the water would be monochrome, too, right? There's something else Tonbokiri said that bothers him more. ]

The water aside - your horse came with you? Is it still in the well?
youwillbeunequaled: (| serious thinking)

[personal profile] youwillbeunequaled 2018-03-19 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[That seems reasonable, but still... Tonbokiri glances down at the water once more before turning his attention to the man fully. His expression brightens at the topic, although he hurriedly waves his hands to dispel that notion that the horse is in the well.]

No, no. For some reason he was out by one of the houses. [He points in the general direction of the Flavo district, although he doesn't know it by that name yet.] Mikuniguro has good instincts- the house he was by seems to be sound enough to live in. It is strange though- why would Aruji send me into the well, and Mikuniguro to a house? It has never happened before... ah, but then, of course, I've never experienced anything like all of this, either. [His gesture takes in the colourless environment as a whole.]

Well, thank goodness for that. Getting ourselves out of the well was hard enough.

[ getting an entire horse out of there would be. Interesting. It's good to know that they have one around, though, even if Lupin doesn't understand why or how.

But thoughts of the horse are quickly left behind when he mentions what Lupin interprets as a name; his eyes become serious. ]


Aruji? Who's that?

[Tonbokiri winces but chuckles slightly, also imagining trying to get his poor horse out of that horrible well. It might have been exceedingly difficult! Although, Namine's magic would have worked well again in that case. He then hesitates for a beat at that question, not because he has anything to hide, but because he's considering the most straight-forward way to explain it. It seems this man will take the answer quite seriously.]

Aruji is just that - my current lord and master. With his power, I am the human-form tsukumogami of this spear. [He brings forward the spear he's been holding at his side, setting it proudly upright before him.] I am called Tonbokiri, one of the Three Great Spears of Japan.

[personal profile] heartsteals 2018-03-20 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
... Uh. Excuse me?

[ he was expecting a schpeal about "Aruji" being the grandmaster behind all of this - maybe some sort of mafia head or disgruntled vampire or perhaps someone even more sinister. Instead, he got... well, this. Whatever this is. Lupin looks at the spear, then at the man, and doesn't seem to quite understand it, even if he understood the words being said - the dubious expression on his face speaks volumes. ]
youwillbeunequaled: (s perhaps he's messing with you)

[personal profile] youwillbeunequaled 2018-03-20 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tonbokiri blinks back at him, slightly surprised at the man appearing so... dubious.]

Pardon me. That is... perhaps something of that was too difficult to understand... Could it be that you are not from Japan?

[He'll just start with that. After all, this place, even outside of being colourless, is certainly not Japan. So what's to say some of the people aren't as well. And if he's not Japanese, perhaps he's never heard of a tsukumogami before?]
heartsteals: (i'll make a killing from this change)

[personal profile] heartsteals 2018-03-21 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ two in one, there. ]

Can't you tell? [ well, maybe not. ] I'm a Frenchman. Although I will say you're not the first Japanese guy I've run into here.

[ but he is the first... tsukumogami. Spear? Lupin doesn't even know. ]
