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!

You've been most kind to listen to my distress, Arisato.

[Yusuke lowers his head politely.]

I am Kitagawa Yusuke.

[messianic]

[Er.]

I'm glad I could help. [...?? He didn't do anything but sure.]

You're from Japan too, then, Kitagawa-san? [There have been a lot of... Not...from Japan. So he has to ask.]

[bufudyne]

I am. I attend Kosei High School, in Tokyo.

[Yusuke looks at him, wondering if he'll recognise the name... maybe not.

There's a ton and a half of high schools out there, after all.]

[messianic]

[Hm... yeah, he doesn't 100% recognize it.]

I'm in Iwatodai. [So--]

Over at Gekkoukan High School. It's kind of nice to meet someone who's from the same area.

[It's not super far from Tokyo, after all.]

[bufudyne]

[Too many heckin schools.]

Yes, quite. It is reassuring.

I have been searching for faces familiar to me, but I have not yet had much luck.

[messianic]

[Hm... He wonders if he should also be looking for familiar faces. It hadn't crossed his mind, considering his circumstances, but...]

Can you describe who you're looking for? Maybe I can help.

[bufudyne]

Yes, of course.

[As he opens his mouth he pauses, reconsiders.] Actually, better yet, I have sketches of several of them.

[because sometimes you get bored during phantom thief planning and you scribble your friends (THAT'S NORMAL RIGHT) but Yusuke's digging out a sketchbook...]

[messianic]

[......?]

Oh, you do...? That's convenient... [And weird, but he accepts it. Yusuke is clearly an ARTEEST.]

[bufudyne]

[Them ARTEEST types.

Yusuke flips open the sketchbook in question and after going through a couple of pages he shows Minato on with several profile sketches of Akira, Ann and Ryuji (less effort has been put into this sketch)... and a cat. And then a weird anthropomorphic cat.

Don't even worry about it.]

These are a few of my friends.
