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!

Weird, yes. But at this rate, I can't say for sure whether that would be a positive or negative development.

[ Because, hey, what the hell kind of creatures can you expect from a world that lacks any color? Possibly nothing remotely close to normal, not that Akechi couldn't handle it. ]

Either way, going home should be our main purpose here. Or are you telling me you'd rather stay?

[Henry turns in a complete circle, as if taking in the scenery--or, more accurately, making a show of such, to indicate what he's referring to.]

There's no place like this back home! If we all go back, I won't get to check it out!

[doublecrowss]

Oh, well. That is... certainly an optimistic approach to the situation. [ And he offers a weak laugh, trying to remain pleasant even though this guy sounds... completely out of it. Even more so than Akechi himself-- the real him, at least. ]

Do you mean there are no forests in the place you come from, though? Or just... colorless forests?

[murdery]

Oh, there are plenty of forests. I've seen my fair share of those. Just nothing like this.

[Aw, he's not out of it. He's just disconcertingly sincere.]

All this creepy stuff is kind of my jam. It'd be a shame if we went home without seeing a little more of it.
