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!

[Cool, nobody asked for this guy's opinion!! Okuyasu takes being grabbed about as well as anyone, which is to say he doesn't, yanking his arm away and drawing himself up aggressively, in case this guy wants to start something. Don't touch him!!]

You wanna keep your hands to yourself, old timer? Stay outta my way if you've got a problem!

[swordfucker]

You and that thing are what's in the way.

[He's quick to respond, letting Okuyasu go the second he yanks himself back, and pointing up to his weird metal stand, instead.] Be more aware of who's around you. There are kids even younger than you in this dark well. [You're going to like, squish Emma. That's the worry.]

[pursestrings]

[You leave The Hand out of this, it did nothing wrong!!]

So go round them up and babysit them instead of giving me a hard time. Are you doing anything useful, huh?

[swordfucker]

Don't get angry when you're the one who was jumping around like that.

[He doesn't have the right?? Gosh, children.] I was trying to jump out of here, but I don't want to hit my head on that thing. Get it out of the way, and I'll drop the bucket back down.

[pursestrings]

[Sounds like it's time... to be contrary on purpose.]

It's a big well. Just walk away instead of telling people what to do.

[swordfucker]

Ah, you're right. Why didn't I think of that? I'll walk away.

[This punk kid. But it's alright. He can angle it right if he just— hops out of the water, kicks lightly off of Okuyasu's unfortunate head or shoulder and then bounces off of the wall to go up!!

You can bet he's going to drop a bucket down from the top, anyway, too.]

[pursestrings]

[Cool, this is bullying. Okuyasu can't fucking fly, so he's going to get the fuck out of here after being rudely kicked in the head instead of impotently shouting about an ass kicking, but not before The Hand backhands the dropping bucket away into the darkness. There it goes.

Okuyasu stomps - or rather, sloshes, because this water is like knee high - off in the other direction. He is anti-bucket now.]

[swordfucker]

[He catches the bucket if it flies high enough, and if not, he guesses it'll just wobble around down there and knock a few heads. It's fine, probably.

But alright, buffy mcbufferson, everyone else can use the bucket and he can talk to homestucks about how anti-bucket he is.]
