Welcome to Hadriel! Or, for those who have been here, please continue enjoying your stay. Perhaps you arrived here last week, and have been wandering around since then, making new friends. Or perhaps you've just arrived, and have no idea what's going on. You may have woken up in the colosseum, or near a temple, or in one of the numerous other locations in the city. You might be confused and frightened to find yourself in this underground city, or maybe you're just wondering why you haven't been sent home yet, when others have.
Whatever the case may be, the situation in the city has changed somewhat. There is still a gently glowing path leading you to a nicely-outfitted party, but the specifics of it have changed. If you're a new arrival, it'll be easy to follow the path and find the party - if you're not, well, the color of the light has changed, signalling that something's different. Maybe you want to check it out?
Around the clearing are gently glowing flowers, illuminating both the tables and the rest of the area, bright enough to make things clear even when the larger light at the apex of the cave is gone. On the tables are an array of different kinds of food - however, sampling this food will quickly make it clear that nearly everything is spicy, whether subtly so or with a burning heat. The cookies seem to have chili oil in them, the dip has jalapeno-like peppers. It's hard to find anything that won't burn your mouth a bit. If you're lucky enough to find something that doesn't, though, it will most certainly be somewhat bitter or quite sour. That doesn't mean the food tastes bad - if spicy and sour are your sort of thing, they're delicious! If you're looking for something more normal, though, you're out of luck.
Also on the tables are a variety of drinks, and these at least are not spicy. Instead, they're the sort of warm, comforting drinks that might remind you of home, of curling up in a soft blanket while rain falls outside. Warm cocoa, hot cider, teas of various flavors. Just the sort of thing to soothe a worried newcomer.
Decorating the area are various banners with welcoming messages saying things like 'HADRIEL' 'THIS IS A PARTY' 'EAT FOOD' and 'DO NOT DIE'. They are all identical, with large black block letters on plain white paper. They look very similar to something that you might print out on a standard office laser printer at the last minute if you have no discernible sense of humor or fun.
Scattered around can be found exciting party games such as pin the tail on the donkey and musical chairs. Here and there can also be found various pinatas of different types. Break them open, see what comes out! If you're really lucky it'll be candy - if not, it might be full of bouncy balls or cherry tomatoes. Good times!

Or maybe you don't like parties? No worries. The rest of the city has plenty of places to explore- maybe you'd like to stumble in our Silent Hill zone, have a quick look around the alien orchard, or check out any of the god temples that can inspire their chosen emotion. Be careful not to get lost in the tunnels leading away from the cave- none of them can actually move you above ground, but you may run into a few monsters on the way.
For those of you who came last week, here's your chance to help out newbies along with the people who have been here forever! Join in on the festivities if you like, or try to orient as many of the others as you can. Rule the newcomers at musical chairs, continue your fight club, pick up a second weird cave girlfriend and then watch as they dump you and hook up with each other! There's no end to the possible fun.

Enjoy the fourth wall event at Hadriel! Once you're settled in feel free to explore the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies.
Fourth wall characters do not enter with phones so they cannot reach the network- however, if you'd like to handwave that they somehow got ahold of Mello's Newcomer guide to avoid the 'where am I/what is this' sort of questions, then feel free!
Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!► This log covers November 1st-November 7th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well! Fourth wall characters will not have posting access, so grab an in-game friend if you wanted to do anything separate from the main log.
► Fourth wall characters will be in the city for at least one week. If you want them to stay longer, our applications are now open!
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
a.
defacingimproving one of the banners. He's turned it around and is currently scrawling i don't always turnip at parties but when i do i'm the radish guy there across the black backdrop in vibrant red marker. Don't ask him where he got the marker. He probably nicked it from one of the shops or some such.He's also, uh. A skeleton. So that might be a little jarring, when he turns around and grins, opening a bony hand to gesture at his handiwork.]
Better?
sans no
also totally trying not to laugh when he sees what's being written.
thank god the offer to respond is made, because he has the cheesiest grin on his face when he does. ]
Pretty good, pretty good. It could probably use a little work — we might need to turnip the beet.
[ and then he actually sees the face grinning back at him, and boy howdy that is just the most undignified sound Lance has ever made. ]
What‐ How— What?! You're a skeleton! Why are you a skeleton?!
;^]
And, uh, then they hit the more salient point of the exchange, which is the bit where the human freaks out a bit and Sans stands there and smiles through it, 'cause he's kinda seen the way these things play out and the general spectrum of emotional response to seeing...him. So he waits for the initial shock to tide out a bit before cockin' his skull and responding in kind, vaguely amused.]
Uh, yep. Sans the skeleton. Pleased to meet'cha. And yes, this is just my face.
no subject
[ sorry. his instinct is just going to be poking at Sans' head. gently knocking, to see if it echoes around in there. checking behind him to see if there's a zipper or anything. and it boggles his mind when there's nothing. ]
Dude, how's this possible?! [ and then he frowns as he takes a step back to take him in. ] You're seriously a skeleton?
no subject
[He's a real funny guy, what can he say? And, yep, he's just gonna let the human check him out at his leisure, though he don't let him touch the merchandise. Leans away all subtle-like. Can't trust that he'd know to handle somethin' this fragile with the kinda care it requires.]
Easy there, buddy. Why don't we start this off like new pals?
[Out comes the hand. And, hey, seein' as the guy likes jokes - let's see if he's got the same sorta fondness for joy buzzers.]
no subject
and Lance is delighted. ]
Dude, yes! I'm Lance! Nice to—
[ and this is the unfortunate part where he shoves his hand into Sans' without paying any attention at all, and gets a real nice little shock for his excitement. ]
—yow! What the?! Are you electrified? Are skeletons electric?
no subject
Nah. Bone's a terrible conductor. I ain't even ridden a train before.
[Because there's nothin' better than hittin a guy with several hard truths about how his entire worldview ain't nearly as cemented as he thinks it is - not to mention a hefty dose of wordplay. 'Cause who doesn't like wordplay?]
