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!

1 IM SORRY ABOUT... HOW SHE IS...

[hypertoxic]

[ have some ironic golf clapping. ]

Nice speech. Did you practice that in front of the mirror before trying it on us, you tool?

[ very flatly. she sounds totally apathetic for someone who's giving him shit. ]

LMAO IT'S FINE

[doublecrowss]

[ Um, rude?? Good thing he's not easily phased (or rather, he's good at pretending) so he just smiles in response, all pleasantries and aloof casualty: ]

No. In front of a live audience, actually. It's a much wilder crowd than this, I must say.

[ He's a fucking celebrity, you scrub. ]

[hypertoxic]

Oh, wow. Not only did you just admit to being a tool, you actually upped the ante. That's really impressive. I am so impressed.

[ ever led an army??? an army is WAY better than an audience. get on her level. ]

Well, if you're so inspired, how're you gonna fix this?

[doublecrowss]

I've been called worse things. [ Not a lie, for once. ] Besides, cynicism and sarcasm are easy coping mechanisms for the common person; from that, I simply deduced indulging you would gain me a far more favorable reaction.

[ And there he is, smiling in that passive-aggressive as fuck way of his as he gloats about getting her attention, all the while calling Vriska a simpleton scrub. But at least she hasn't made it to his hit list yet. ]

Now, as for fixing this situation-- [ He motions towards the collective mass around them, as wide as the lack of space allows him. ] Look around you. Among such a diverse group, it's likely we can find a set of skills that can be put to good use. For instance, I'm practiced at bouldering; given a rope, it shouldn't be hard for me to climb out and find help.

[ Or leave y'all to rot, he doesn't particularly care. ]

[hypertoxic]

[ ...

you son of a. ]

Indulging me? As if I give a single shit what you do! You're just one more lame loser human in a fucking sea of them. [ gestures broadly ]

You want a fucking fix? I'll give you a fucking fix, smartass.

[ Vriska seizes one of his wrists and just

floats upwards, bodily hauling him into the air, out of the water. maybe a foot up. ]

[doublecrowss]

[ His brows hook upwards out of instinct, but this isn't a particularly alarming development; Akechi has been called worse than a tool, and he also has seen worse than this idiot who claims herself not a human. Compared to the powers of a Persona, this little flotation trick is child's play.

Alas, as much he would love to incinerate her for daring to touch him, keeping his secret is more important. The next best option is: ]

This is quite impressive! Are you planning to give us a lift all the way up? I'm sure this crowd would appreciate it.

[ Perfectly pleasant passive-aggression, of course. ]

[hypertoxic]

[ wow this dude is just completely infuriating in every way, huh

vriska narrows her eyes to slits. ]

That so?

[ and then abruptly they go uuuuuuuuuuuuuup. all the way out of the well. and then they just ... keep ascending. ten feet. twenty feet. thirty feet.

forty feet. ]

You did say all the way up, right?

[ fifty feet. ]
