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!

It is, but he most certainly won't be admitting that. Rather, he gives a light laugh as though the idea amuses him.

"Is that so? Generally speaking, to find someone staring dumbfounded at their surroundings for one reason or another is to find a dullard or a fool--I'm sure you understand my confusion.

But, if you are as accomplished as you say, I'm sure you must have at least an idea as to why we've ended up here?"

Just think, if these two were to actually put their minds together, they might just have their situation figured out in full within the week. If only.

[ okay, he has a limit for douchebaggery he's willing to tolerate, especially from a stranger who he's just met in a weird situation he's still getting a grip on. His brow twitches. ]

Of course. If you say the magic word, I'll be happy to share it with you.

[crowsigliere]

His smile doesn't falter. Rather, somehow he looks all the more pleased with himself, despite the distinct lack of assistance he's gathering.

"Ah, now that explains it. I'd had you pegged for someone a bit more mature--I wasn't aware you were as much a child as the others."

[heartsteals]

That didn't sound like "please" to me.

[ he's not giving in to this... ]

[crowsigliere]

So this is what it's like when an immovable object meets another immovable object... Fascinating.

"No, you're absolutely right. Your observation skills are as acute as ever."

Boys, boys, you're both pretty.

[heartsteals]

As ever? My friend, we've only just met. It's not good to assume things about people.

[ he's about had enough of this guy, though. This is just a waste of time... So Lupin nods his head in his direction with some finality. ]

Anyways, if you don't have anything else you need, I'll be on my way. I've got a lot of ground to cover.

[crowsigliere]

"Nor is it good to assume someone you've just met to be your friend."

Still, he'll let him go if he pleases! He'll even offer him a smile as he goes.

Guess they're both back to square one--posturing at each other is definitely a good use of their time!
