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!

Dude. Who would come here willingly? The bigger question is how do we know if we're really here.

[remitted]

Let's say I've known some interesting people.

But if you've got another theory, I'd love to hear it. Are we adding to the pointlessly creepy pileup and suggesting that someone's in a coma in a mental ward and we're all the product of their imaginations, or...?

[dreidels]

I guess it's possible. I have been to Imaginationland before. Who knows, we could be on the nightmare side of it. Or we were all playing with the Oculus Rift, forgot, and now we're all trapped in virtual realty and the game we're playing is shitty.

[remitted]

It's doing some...interesting...glitching, if that's the case.

[dreidels]

It wouldn't be the first time. I don't know what's worse: somehow actually being here, or being stuck in VR, mental projection, or something like that.
