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!

[ Fushimi spits out some of the water and swallows down the urge to cough. He isn't drowning, he's fine; he isn't going to give into anything like basic bodily spasms or reactions to near drowning. He's just going to look irritated, instead. ]

Was that a joke...?

[ It was a terrible one. Fushimi hates puns. And fun. And happiness. And also, being cold and wet at the bottom of a well.

He shoves himself back up, very nearly eating shit for a second time in as many minutes when his injured leg threatens to refuse to support any of his weight. Luckily, that's why humans have two legs, and he puts his weight on the other, ignoring the way it cramps. ]

Don't be so loud.

[ Hey, Akechi technically hates all those things, too-- but only because he doesn't get any of it himself. Alas, they can't bond over that because he must play the role of the Pleasant Boy. ]

I apologize, but it was necessary. It was the only way to make myself heard despite the ongoing commotion.

[ Akechi hoists himself back to his full height, though he notices a red spot on his companion's leg - it's made all the more obvious, considering the stark lack of color everywhere else. ]

Oh, are you hurt? I-it wasn't my fault, was it...?

[ Not that he cares, but. Gotta keep pretending. ]

What's the point of making yourself heard when you don't have a solution? [ Fushimi drawls it out like it's boring, like he isn't really invested. He isn't, really, in this part of the conversation; Akechi was just offering gilded platitudes, and Fushimi hates platitudes, so he couldn't care less. ]

I'm fine.

[ That's considerably more sharp, and Fushimi actually spares a glance at Akechi for it. It wasn't Akechi's fault, so Fushimi doesn't need him to talk about it. He's fine, he isn't bleeding out, everything is cool, they're not trapped in a well, ]
