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!

[ HE'S HUNGRY!!!

with a desperate look, he places his hand over his stomach—if he could force it to growl on command, he would do that, but he thinks it communicates his intent well enough. if he doesn't eat, he'll die!

...but fish might be better than this. maybe the living things have flavor. ]

[brightlyshines]

I mean, I know we don't feel sick but-- Are you really sure you want to eat that?

[Oh Dex. She looks up at him with a worried expression.]

I can try to find a fishing pole! And then I can fish up some better food, ok?

[passio]

[ reluctantly, he nods...

but he doesn’t want to just let this food go to waste. he’s already opened it, and he doesn’t know if it’ll rot or if its mysterious tastelessness will save it from itself.

so he offers it to estelle. she did just kind of insinuate that she isn’t going to eat it, but maybe she’ll change her mind?! ]

[brightlyshines]

Eh?!

[Normally, Estelle would eat just about anything.

Buuuuut--- this? She grimaces at the can as it's offered, glancing from Dex to the food.]

I-I guess.... we probably shouldn't let it go to waste, huh?

[Why this. On one hand, he's plainly going to swallow it down if she doesn't eat it, but on the other.....]

[passio]

[ it’s not like he’s excited about eating it, but he did open it. he’s responsible for it now, whether or not he wants to be.

he pretends to cut the can in half, and then looks up at her questioningly. should they go halfsies on it? is that tolerable?? ]
