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!

Ah. I'm from Japan. I've never been to America...but I've always wanted to?

[parodeity]

Oh, yeah? Any parts in particular? Texas as an answer will obviously get you bonus points, because I'm a biased fuck.

[creatability]

Texas then. I...haven't really planned out much?

[parodeity]

Honestly, I've always wanted to see all the tourist trap places?

[creatability]

Like the world's biggest ball of twine?

[parodeity]

That is exactly the kind of thing I am in for. Or like, a dude with a beard of bees? This is just the kind of tour crap you cannot get on a normal sort of tour, with like, historical battle sites or something way less fun.

[creatability]

I've only heard about that stuff. But yes, I think I'd like to see it.

[Oh.]

Also, I think I'd like to see the Space Needle? I've heard it's amazing at night.

[parodeity]

I've actually always wanted to go there, too. [ dave's lips quirk up into an almost smile. ] My best friend from when we were kids lives in Washington, and I used to think it'd be cool to go out there and have him show me around? I've gotten post cards with the needle on them before, too.

[creatability]

Oh, that sounds nice. Knowing a local makes travel so much easier.

[Anywhere, really.]

Do you have any people you know where, from back home?

[parodeity]

Yeah, three of 'em. I mean, only one of them is human, though.

[creatability]

Oh? One is an alien?
