awashlogs | Intro Log.

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!

[Is it.......... cursed?]

It's okay! It's yours, so you make the rules. [She'll just file that away for further consideration. Maybe. For now, the top of the well is quickly approaching and she'll just focus on that.] It's good that both of your hands are free, though. In a second, I'm going to let go, so try to grab the edge of the well as quickly as you can and pull yourself over, okay? I'll release my quirk when we're both over solid ground.

[Not exactly.

Poke him about it later, he might be more willing to discuss what it means to him and why he has to carry it around.

For now though, he'll focus on getting them out of the well with her instructions. He nods to what she said, waiting for that weightless sensation to leave before reaching for the edge of the wet, mossy stones.

Its not the easiest grip to maintain with the surface being so slick and worn but his strength gives him the needed boost to haul himself over it on to solid ground.

He turned then, offering his own hand to her in case she needed help getting there.]

[How kind! She accepts his hand gratefully, floating right out over the edge of the well before quickly releasing her quirk... and landing right on her butt as she falls to the ground. What a relief it is to be back on solid ground. She's just going to sit right where she is for a moment, trying to, you know, not to throw up as the world continues to spin around her.]

I-I just need a minute! Sorry...

[She knows that Rin is probably looking around at everything in shock, but she can't really do anything to help him at the moment. Vertigo is the wooooorst.]

[He was, because seeing that sort of... blankness was pretty shocking. There were trees like one would expect in a forest but he had never seen anything so devoid of color.

Or... well. He had. But it had been made out of literal rot, and he'd rather not think that the Impure King had something to do with this mess. Not after all the trouble he went through to get rid of that thing.

He doesn't focus on it for long, though. The 'whump!' of Ochako landing on her butt next to him shook Rin out of his reverie.]

Whoa, h-hey! Are you okay?! You didn't get hurt did you?!

[She waves a hand in the air, trying to sit up straight and play it off like she's totally fine... except she's totally not. She hunches back over almost immediately, hand going up to cover her mouth.]

'm fine! Just-- [HURK. She sucks down a deep breath, focusing on her breathing as she tries to get everything under control.] This is normal!

[Well, that's true, at least. And it's terrible.]

Ohgeez--

[Yeah that's really not okay, and he sure as hell isn't going to leave her to deal with that alone. He never gets sick, but he's been around Yukio's numerous colds and flus to know how awful it is.

Kneeling down he put a hand on her back, digging in his bag until he fished out a bottle of water.]

Here...

[Bottled water? Oh my God, he's a lifesaver. She accepts it with a murmured thanks, immediately twisting off the top to take a quick sip. Ah, so refreshing! She'll just take a few more sips, close her eyes, and keep focusing on breathing in nice and slow. For a few minutes, anyway.

Soon, though, she's feeling normal enough to crack her eyes back open and shoot him a (slightly shaky) smile.]

Thanks! It's not always this bad, but I've really been pushing my quirk to the limit today. [Oh wait, is that worrying? Better follow it up with something reassuring.] The water is a huge help, though! Good call!

[He did manage to pack a few things before charging headlong into saving his brother, for all the good that did.

But it was helping here, so he'll give past him a gold star for that one.]

How many people you been liftin' outta there? Maybe you should give it a rest...

[A lot.]

Not that many. Besides, it's not like I could just stop once I got started. So many people wanted out, you know? It's a hero's responsibility to help as many people as they can.

[At least she looks rather sheepish about the whole thing?]

But I think a lot of different people are helping now. I know my friends are, at least! That means I have time to help you look for your friend.

Brother.

[A small correction, but he's actually more focused on her at the moment.]

You sure? I get the whole hero thing, but if you completely wreck yourself you won't be able to help anyone.

[Continued here!]
