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!

[Dave is tolerable company, and there doesn't appear to be any threats in the vicinity, so he doesn't mind too much.]

Aside from the man I'll kill? ... Anyone wearing a mantle like this. [He tugs at his sand mantle.] Or...

[He pauses for a moment, before deciding to go for it.]

If they mention the Mud Whale.

[ dave, mentally: what the fuck is a mud whale ]

A'ight...well, for me, I guess if you see an anthropomorphic dog that likes to stab people, you can like, safely go "wow I should stab this motherfucker right back". Or a tall clown with orange horns and a huge purple codpiece. That guy is also into rampant murder.

[worlds]

[You'll just have to keep wondering, Dave.]

Noted, though I don't know what any of those are.

[What's a dog. What's a clown.]

[parodeity]

You've...never seen a dog?

[ HUH. ]

We must have different animals or something.

[worlds]

... We don't have many animals where I'm from.

[parodeity]

World-ending situation, or?

[worlds]

We're surrounded by sand.

[parodeity]

Oh, a desert. I lived in a desert state but...not the same thing. And also, not exactly the same terrain.

[worlds]

What is it, then?

[parodeity]

Like...it's pretty arid in the west, but humid more in the east? There's more variety.

[worlds]

... How large is your home?

[parodeity]

Like the apartment I live - lived? - in? It was top of a building, one bedroom one bath. But like, Texas the state is 268,820 square miles.
