hadriel_logs | Intro Log: No calls, please

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for March.
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: March 10th-13th
Warnings: Fresh meat, floating plasma eyeball monsters in HD, disappointing infomercial products.

Good morning, and welcome to your first day in Hadriel. Feel free to acquaint yourself with the other travelers who are starting to wake up around you- or explore your surroundings for maximum survival odds!

You may notice that there are a few metal boxes lying on the dirt ground around you. At first these boxes seem innocuous, with no locks or mechanisms to keep them closed. However, any attempt at opening these them reveals that, not only is there absolutely nothing inside of them, but they just so happen to be a handy-dandy Scream-in-a-box from that stupid old Nickelodeon commercial. One peek and it echoes with a loud, bursting scream... though, anyone who tries to use this box to keep themselves awake will only succeed in pissing their neighbors off, because infomercials only exist to lie to you.

If you're concerned about something a little more sinister... well, you're right to be. Lurking in the shadowy corridors of the arena are Cacodemons, from the Doom game series. These nightmarish monsters travel around the area by floating a few feet off the ground. They are capable of firing plasma at you from their mouths, and their sharp teeth speak for themselves. While they're easy to shove back when they're not firing at you, they have a tendency to converge on a single target. You think you can handle one? How about five? Good luck... and try not to melt on your way out.

Once you've managed your daring escape from the colosseum, feel free to go explore the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

[Normally, Chris is very patient and friendly, but due to a series of events he's just not super fond of high-pitched shrieking noises.]

Dude, is someone being murdered or what?

[He's not actually angry, but has the tone of someone who's been startled and isn't happy about it.]

It's this stupid... whatever it is.

[He points his camera at the scream-in-a-box he's sitting on: a hinge is broken and it looks a little misshapen, like it'd been tossed very hard at something or dropped from a great height.]

I didn't know you could actually make these. I thought they were a joke.

[Okay, well, he's still not too happy with the noise but it really does look like Jaime's trying to keep it under control. It's not really fair to be annoyed with him about it, so he tries to bury his irritation for the moment.]

I have no idea what it is, but yeah. Weird stuff is kind of what this place is all about.

Throwing it in the lake might work, though.

[Just a helpful suggestion.]

And um, I'm guessing you just got here?

If you chuck it in the lake, will you hear it every time you go underwater? It's got to run out of juice at some point, but.. [he trails off. he has definitely seen weirder than an eternally screaming box.]

And yeah. It's only been a few hours. I'm already ready to get out of here, if these box things and whatever those giant flying things were are the day to day.

Uh, maybe. But I don't think swimming in the lake's a great idea.

[Just a hunch, but considering what the rest of this place is like he's pretty sure going into a deep body of water would be a bit of a disaster waiting to happen.]

They're uh... Not necessarily day to day, but yeah. Not uncommon either.

Unfortunately we don't really know how to leave, or there wouldn't be anyone here to reply to your message in the first place.
