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!

[ since he doesn't need help getting out of the damn well, but since it's hard to miss a troll who actually helped probably a few people out herself? dave will kind of approach after, lifting a hand in a vague sort of wave before letting it drop so he can shove both of them into his pockets. ]

Yo. Guess this ain't Kansas anymore. Or Troll Kansas, whatever. It's probably a place with that added in front, right?

[ Dave just gets. Kind of a long, noncommittal look before she scoffs and looks away. ]

What? No, don't be stupid. We don't have Troll Kansas or whatever. What the hell is Kansas?

[ there's a pause. ]

Wait, are you talking about that movie? Troll Wizard of Oz?

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-03-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
See, that. I don't get that. You have Troll Wizard of Oz and Troll Will Smith but not Troll Kansas? Where was Troll Dorothy from? That's her name, right. That's how this works, even though y'all are trolls and should be able to tell that without adding "Troll" in front of every single concept?

[ why are homestuck linguistics the way they are. let him lean against the fourth wall in aggravation.

he's also just trying not to address anything serious here, but. ]

Hey asshole, maybe you shouldn't be watching movies for girls.

I'd love to, but Vantas has had a chokehold on movie night options for like, the entire fuckin' meteor trip. God can't exist, because if he did he would spare me from all the terrible chick flicks that dude has somehow accumulated. It would frankly be inspiring if it weren't mind-numbingly aggravating.

[ they're friends but come the fuck on ]

[ that produces A Pause™. It's probably a significant one. In the end Vriska just twists up her expression, like she wants to be derisive but is trying not to laugh instead. ]

That sounds just like him! Good to know some things never change, like that goober being the biggest loser ever to grace troll-kind. [ a beat. ] It is good to hear he's alright.

[ HAHA LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THIS!! vriska tries to flip her hair and then just looks annoyed when it's all braids and shit. ]

God dammit. These were such a bad fucking idea.

[ HE IS...maybe all right? fuck like dave knows, he's pretty sure that's not actually the case and he doesn't want to acknowledge that right now, so he shifts topics. ]

Why don't you undo 'em if they're that annoying?

Because they're like -- fucking -- knots! [ tUGS AT HER HAIR??? ] I don't know what the hell Meenah did. Also I haven't really had time until just now? Up until we got here I was pretty busy getting dumped and then totally abandoned in the wastes of the Furthest Ring. Couldn't really fit hair care into my oh so busy schedule, you know? I'm sure you get what it's like.

[ why can't she stop talking.

someone make her stop talking. ]

[ dave, a consummate rambler, cannot even judge. he just...

eyes her. is she having a mental breakdown right now?? he can't handle that, wtf. ]


Okay, well, we have time now. If you sit your ass down I can try to do it for you?

[ apparently he's just straight up not even responding to the jibes about his schedule or whatever else for the time being, because not addressing things solves them. ]

[ there is another Significant Pause™. ]

Why. [ flatly. ] There is basically zero chance you want to be anywhere near me.

[ he rolls his eyes. ]

If you were the juggalo, you might have a point. [ he's not going to claim he likes vriska, because he doesn't. dave doesn't know her, and found her vaguely over the top in the dream bubbles but not enough to do more than enforce the whole "no dream bubble ghosts on the meteor" thing that they were trying to keep up (which he completely abandoned trying to do anyway when damara wandered in). terezi hadn't had a lot of good shit to say back in the day, but they'd never really talked about her since.

john had liked her, but john likes pretty much everyone so dave doesn't really use that as a guideline. ]


Do my motives really matter if they ain't sinister and basically don't exist?

[ it's a distraction, more or less. for one or both of them. ]
hypertoxic: (pic#8220495)

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-03-16 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ again, silence. it is as Significant™ as before.

and then she'll turn away from him and sit her ass down, pushing all her hair back over her shoulders. ]


Fine.

[ her voice isn't wet. she's fine. she's not rubbing her face. it's fine. ]

[ rose's hair was too short to really mess with, and he never did anything for jade in the one day they'd hung out or terezi in the years they'd known one another. but dave's hands are steady and this is better than vriska crying at him directly and maybe it will help calm her down? WITHOUT having to have an emotional conversation he knows he'd crit fail at. god.

so he just kneels behind her and gets to work, trying not to tug at her hair too hard. what the hell did meenah even do here, christ. ]

[ Vriska will just. Sit there and quietly cry, feeling ripped apart all over even though she isn't hurt. It's an incredible blessing that Dave doesn't try to look at her or talk to her or ask her if she's okay. She's not okay. She just rubs her face and hiccups and lets him do his thing.

Eventually she will pipe up, watery: ]


Thanks. Don't -- just tug. It's fine.

[ honestly, are any of them ever okay? dave hasn't ever been okay that he remembers, not really, so he finds it hard to mind when other people aren't okay.

he finds it equally hard to find the right words to comfort them, admittedly, but.

there's a snort, although he takes her at her word enough to be a little firmer - but he's still fairly gentle on the whole, sorry vriska. ]


Why is every girl I know a consummate backseat driver? Not that I mind, but does it say somethin' about me or the universe in general?

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-03-17 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It says you are a passive nerdy loser and you need firm direction from people who know better than you.

[ she sounds very nasal but her voice shakes a little on a laugh. ]
parodeity: dodostad @ tumblr (CHILLING 🎧 yeah ok man)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-03-17 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I take offense to the "nerdy" qualification, John's the nerdy one, I'm the eccentric. I will also take "weirdo" or variations thereof, although this gets into high school level group insults, which on the insult creativity scale ain't that high. Admittedly my scale is weighted as fuck and I've been listening to Vantas insult me for like, three years now, and he's pretty original when it comes to new and exciting ways to disparage his friends while ranting? I'm genuinely heartened by his dedication to ways to call me a dick.

[ vriska just lets him ramble, trying to calm down. croakily: ]

God. I forgot that you never shut up. [ another wet laugh. ] Karkat's like that with everyone. I am pretty sure it was the only way he knew how to show affection.
parodeity: (TEREZI 🎧 whoa hey)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-03-18 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well. Who's really actually good at doin' that in any logical way? I mean, I think I know people who do it the "normal" way, but then I know a bunch of assholes who have no clue what the fuck they're doing.

[ dave is one of the latter assholes. ]

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-03-20 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ another small "tch" of a laugh. ]

Yeah, like me. I've never had a single fucking clue.

[ she's sniffling still, but her crying has mostly slowed down by now. ]

Dunno how you learn that, anyway. Shit you like ain't always - usually? - shit other people like.

[ or it just wasn't something you knew how to handle, because you weren't used to it. dave still didn't know how not to freeze up when someone hugged him.

he's got most of the braids unknotted, now. ]


People aren't really easy, are they? Guess if they were we wouldn't have most of the songs that exist.
hypertoxic: (pic#8273028)

[personal profile] hypertoxic 2018-03-27 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
They're not! They are so fucking not. And how the hell are you supposed to learn that shit? It's not like -- anyone tells you, oh, here's how to not be a fuckhead to everyone you care about! You just kind of have to figure it out and then you fuck it up because your upbringing was garbage and then everyone hates you and you die alone. Twice.

[ .... that was a lot of oversharing. vriska will lapse into silence. ]
