Intro Log.





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!

whereabout: to make you think of all the bad things you've done (nothing like a long car ride)

[ He nods. ]

Long gone. Or...

[ ...and then frowns. ]

...no, they'd have to have left.

[ There haven't been any corpses, that he's seen. ]
messianic: (For now I die)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-19 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
... They definitely left.

[HE REFUSES TO ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT OF AN ENTIRE DEAD TOWN.]

Maybe they went somewhere far away after the color disappeared...?
whereabout: it was stuck in my bedroom ceiling (i found your knife.)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-19 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Look, Door Jesus, some of us have to consider every reasonable possibility before we reject it. ]

I don't think it's too big an assumption that they're related, at the very least.
messianic: (In vain we look; in vain uplift)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-19 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[LOOK.....

He doesn't want to think about it!!]


I guess... them leaving could've made it disappear too? Depending on how this town works. [The cause and effect is kind of fuzzy here.]
whereabout: to make you think of all the bad things you've done (nothing like a long car ride)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-19 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It's possible.

[ He considers. ]

That would still leave us with the question of what could make an entire town pack up and leave all at once, though.
messianic: (Death doth draw nigh)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-19 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[........]

No matter what possibilities I think of, none of them are good.
whereabout: and put its blood in my hair to warn the others off. (it looks like i murdered a care bear)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-19 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Most of the possibilities I can think of would leave at least some dead, but we haven't seen any evidence of that.

[ Here to be morbid so you don't have to. ]
messianic: (In vain we look; in vain uplift)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[....OKAY THEN.]

So you think we can safely assume those things didn't happen?
whereabout: and put its blood in my hair to warn the others off. (it looks like i murdered a care bear)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-20 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
With the information we have now? Yes, I think so.
messianic: (For now I die)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
That's good then, right?

[It might've been bad but at least it wasn't that bad, in other words.]
whereabout: outside of my parents room with a sign taped to myself that said "im sorry"... (woke up this morning in the hall)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-20 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
In the sense that it could be worse, yes.

[ He's reluctant to call it good without that qualifier, though. ]
messianic: (Ready and poised to wax or wane;)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[... A sigh.]

Right.

[...]

In other words, it's still pretty grim.
whereabout: and we need a new garage door. (so i almost just died there.)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-20 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
On the bright side...

[ Don't mind him, he's just started - carefully - rummaging around some of the junk in the boathouse, doing the best he can not to stir up the dust, and finally, he holds up something triumphantly.

...well, for a subdued, calm value of "triumphant," anyway. ]


Binoculars.
messianic: (and succession change)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Is that really a bright side in this situation... Minato will just accept it, for now.]

Ah... success, then.

[Tiny fistpump!!]

It's good to know there are some good supplies in here.
whereabout: if i'm dead when you get home, yes, they are poisoned. (drinking a bawls.)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-20 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well, "good" might be questionable.

[ He flips them around and examines the lenses. ]

Lenses don't look cracked, though.
messianic: (Yet my Disciples sleep;)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[STOP RAINING ON HIS PARADE.]

It's better than nothing, at least.
whereabout: come over (i'm equal parts terrified and turned on.)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-20 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ come on, don't shut him out ]

Let's go try this out.
messianic: (Fulfilling joy; fulfilling pain?-)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-20 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it.

[Out they go...!!

Towards fresh air that he appreciates in every possible way.]
whereabout: when you're drunk because there is a bug in the shower (you can't just call animal control)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-03-22 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's always nice to not breathe dust.

Joshua lifts the binoculars and scans the horizon. ]


...I still can't see anything.

[ That's not promising. He offers the binoculars to Minato. ]
messianic: (she rolleth on in fleetness)
