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!

[ Don't worry, Estelle. He's not judging you for eating the strange food. Only for eating the strange food in a town that is so old that it's literally crumbling down. (Did she even check for expiration dates?) However, this judging is all internal. ]

Couldn't you just fasten a spear and use that instead? seems a little easier than trying to find a fishing pole around here.

[brightlyshines]

[Wow, excuse, she totally checked for expiration dates! And she had a partner helping her taste test. Neither of them dropped dead!]

Eeeh... I've never fished that way, personally. And a spear isn't really a whole lot like a staff--

[Nevermind that her staff style was based in swordplay, thanks Dad.]

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ Estelle, no. ]

Hm, well... you might be able to ask around? Maybe someone has supplies you could use to make a rod yourself? Wish I could be more useful in that regards, but I don't have much of anything on me.

[brightlyshines]

I mean, I have my staff, but it's not exactly designed for the give a rod needs..... I might have to do that, if I can't find one.

[She taps the red pole in her hand with the fingers gripping it, musing to herself.]

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Well, I think if you can avoid it, you should. Push comes to shove, we could probably make something rod-like from the tree branches. There's bound to be something sharp around here to do that easily.

[ Ruining her staff seemed unwise. He wanted to avoid it if he could! After all, what if it fell into the water? ]

[brightlyshines]

[Please, she'd never ruin her staff. She might try to tie a string to the end though.....

It falling in the water was a possibility, though Especially with the crazy fish in the water here.]

Yeah, that'd work! A tree branch would be more flexible than my staff, anyway.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

In that case, I'll keep an eye out. If I can find a knife in one of these houses, I can make it a little better for fishing, too.

I'll be sure to get back to you when it's finished, signorina.

[ whispers we can probably wrap this up here since event and stuff! ]
