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!

Works for me. I don't think anyone's been bothering to map what we have and haven't checked...

[ dave says, fully planning not to bother either... ]

[pursestrings]

[Yeah, that definitely didn't occur to Okuyasu, either. Oh well.]

Oh, I know! Maybe we can just leave a mark on the ones someone's already gone in! Like a scratch or something. [genius!!!!!]

[parodeity]

That...actually may work, if we tell everyone else. It's easy to do, doesn't require anyone to map shit, and should be handy enough...I imagine if anyone found a thing worth findin' they could do more than just do a "been here, done that" mark.

[pursestrings]

[oh fuck yes okuyasu is ON the board]

I can take a piece out of 'em, y'know, [with magic hands] Not a big one or anything.

[parodeity]

So, like...just a piece of missing house to mark the spot?

[pursestrings]

Yeah? That's pretty much the same as scratching it, right? But I can do it faster.

[parodeity]

...You know what, sure, why not. Let's start with that house over there, I guess?

[pursestrings]

I'm telling you, it's a good plan. [He's sure of it now... Anyway that house over there is a great choice, he heads for it and actually stops to consider the options before permanently taking away, like, the doorknob. He won't. He knows how doors work.]

What kinda mark do you think people can remember?

[parodeity]

An x is probably easiest but a skull or star would be cooler.
