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!

[.... Oh.

Minato's expression is as subtle as ever, but even so it goes through a few different emotions, his brow furrowing a little as he thinks through the implications there.

They... saw it?

How did they see it? What does that mean, that it's "an involved story"? What happened...?

... Now's probably not the time to ask. Not when they're in a completely foreign place, lost and confused, and just seeing each other for the first time in a very, very long time. If this chance is fleeting? Minato doesn't want to waste it.]

... I see. [So he'll accept that, expression smoothing out, and then he smiles, lips curving upwards slightly. The Seal is a concern. The fact that Mitsuru is here, wherever here is, is a concern too, if it ends up being dangerous.

But still, he's...happy.]

I guess we can talk about all of that later. [Presuming he doesn't go anywhere, but right now? His heart is beating so strongly.]

It's...really good to see you again, Mitsuru-senpai.

[ She is happy as well. It's a selfish happiness, but she can't help it. His death had still been so recent and even with the information the Abyss of Time have provided, it would still take her some time to fully accept it. But now, she doesn't have to. At least for a little while. So she'll allow herself the solace of the moment, just this once. It's worth it, isn't it?

Yes, she's happy. ]

...Yes. It's good to see you too, Arisato.

[ More than she can probably convey. ]

From a strategical standpoint, it would make the most sense to survey the area separately, however...I'm feeling indulgent, despite the circumstances. Would you assist me?
