It's early in the morning when you feel the telltale thud of hitting hard-packed earth. Whether you're used to the feeling or not, you'll probably have a bruise or two from hitting the ground, which is another way to say Welcome to Hadriel!
In our beautiful city of Hadriel, you can find many treasures and wonders, like the creepy cat clocks, or the baby face cuckoo clocks, or some dali clocks, or... well, they're all clocks, and lucky for you, they all have different times set on their hands!
Be careful not to spend too much time lingering around with the timepieces, as there are monsters afoot! You should be careful or you'll be overrun by war crabs! These mollusk-like creatures are several feet in diameter and a few hundred pounds, so be careful when dealing with them! They're also capable of utilizing their steam-powered machinery to launch rusty grenades and musket bullets at you- don't think that close range is a good idea either, as their sharp pincers can amputate entire limbs, and they're quicker than they seem.
You might want to get out of this place as soon as possible- maybe one of the other folks around you can lend a hand? Sure, they might be just as confused as you, but there's strength in numbers, after all!
After you've find your way out of the colosseum there's plenty of other distractions. Feel free to go explore the rest of the city! Find a house, a new monster, a project to help with, or simply scavenge for supplies. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!► This log covers August 10th-16th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
hot springs;
There's an elf lounging in the hot springs when Elena steps inside, a towel wrapped around her middle, her long hair piled loosely on top of her head. Held in place by magic, naturally. Lup's head is tipped backwards against rocks, but her eyes open just enough to side-eye the approaching human. There's an awkward moment of unnatural stillness before Lup relents enough to sit up and shoot the other woman a smile.
It's hard to shake a century's worth of distrust in people she doesn't know, but it's hard to deny that Alphys was right about this place. We're all here together.
Lup lifts a leg and kicks a tiny splash of water Elena's way.] We got the whole place to ourselves. Hop on in, sis.
no subject
Thanks. I just got here and interdimensional kidnapping wasn't the worst way to travel I've ever experienced [That'd be Spirit Air. Never again.], but it still left me feeling kinda gross.
[She slips into the spring with a quiet 'ahhh,' dropping her towel off to the side.]
no subject
Well, let me be one of the first to welcome you to our shitty cave. The ventilation sucks, you'll never see the sun again, and I'm at least ninety-nine percent sure most of the population here doesn't bother to bathe, but, y'know. [She shrugs, unable to keep the curling grin off of her face.] At least we have each other? Togetherness or something lame like that?
no subject
Hey, I appreciate you giving it to me straight. It is good to not be alone, and to have stuff like this. [She gives the water a little splash.] It could be a lot worse. I assume.
no subject
Lup hums softly in agreement, her eyes closing as she drifts a little down further into the water, right up to her chin. Honestly, now that she's in, she never wants to leave.]
Hella. I got pretty lucky that my brother and our friends were already here when I dropped in. Made settling in a lot less messy. [And then all four of them had been there to greet Lucretia on her arrival, even if Taako hadn't exactly welcomed Lup's bestie with open arms. That can be fixed later. The elf peeks open an eye to glance at Elena.] You're, uh, not all on your lonesome, are you? I didn't mean to rub salt in that wound if you are.
[She can be a little abrasive, but she isn't a full on bitch. Not always, at least.]
no subject
It's okay. I'm not, actually—my husband is here, too. For about four months, apparently.
[Which is still incredibly weird.]
Coming here isn't ideal for either of us, but I'm glad that he's not alone anymore.
no subject
Oh shit, [it's genuine reaction, Lup's perfectly arched eyebrows raising in mild surprise at that info. She's happy for the lady, but it will sting a little more when she finds out about Kravitz' identity. Rude, Hadriel.] Lucky you. Who the hell knows where my boyfriend is. Probably off being a mega nerd or whatever. [Lup doesn't even take a breath before launching into her next thought, rising out of the water enough to turn and face Elena properly.]
So, I'm assuming that back home, wherever that is, your hubby was there with you too despite having been here for four months. So, this really is some weird pocket dimension, out of the timeline thing, right? Another me is back on the Starblaster, completely oblivious to Hadriel and this whole mess, and there's probably another you back home or whatever, hanging out with your guy there. That's fucking crazy.
no subject
It's incredibly crazy. Maybe even more than just being here is.
[She can wrap her brain around being brought here, if only because it's clearly happened—pretending this is a dream or hallucination would just be a cop-out. But the time thing is just bonkers.]
You know what the weirdest part is? We're both here, but not from the exact same time. I'd just gotten off the phone with him an hour before I woke up in the coliseum, but Nate says that hasn't even happened to him yet. So technically, I'm from his future, but just barely.
no subject
Me too! Like, my brother's at least like ten years in the future from where I came in from. All of our friends too! How fucked up is that? [It was a hell of a lot closer to sixty years than ten, but Lup is blissfully unaware of the exact timeframe. She only knows that Taako spent ten years without her, so those ten are the ones that matter most.] You're from your hubby's future. I'm from my bro's past. What the hell point does any of this serve these asshole gods anyway? Couldn't they have kept things a little more linear?
no subject
Ten years? My god. I'd be pretty pissed if that happened to us.
[Nate would look hot and all with some salt and pepper hair, but that's too big a gap for her to be comfortable with.]
I just don't get what the point is. Why pick these points in time? It doesn't seem like it could be random—all the people in more than one world, and multiple people who know each other end up here? [Soooo statistically unlikely, and she wasn't even a stats major.] Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see him—he was away on a job for a couple weeks. But this isn't how I wanted to be reunited.
no subject
The elf rolls her eyes, exaggeratedly inclining her head back.] Yeah, you're telling me, sis. It sucks. Majorly. And like, we're twins! So now he's older than me? Totally lame.
[Lup opens her mouth, looking all to ready to burst into another rambling answer or question, so eager to talk now that she's had time to soak some of the tension out of her body, but she goes quiet, a look of realization flitting across her face. Then, out of nowhere, she laughs, stuttering at first before quickly shifting to something so much easier. Lup's grin comes quickly after that, pointing a finger across the short distance between the two women at Elena.] Holy shit, I kind of forgot to introduce myself. Fuck, sorry. I'm Lup, ten minutes late.
no subject
Elena blinks, stares blankly for a second and then starts to laugh at herself. Oh, right. Names are a thing.]
We both forgot. I'm Elena Fisher, also ten minutes late.
[She offers a hand for shaking, because that's totally something that's done while naked in hot springs.]
Don't worry about it. And tell your twin that you've got the edge on him in youthful beauty now.
no subject
Elena, [Lup repeats, enjoying the way the other woman's name rolls off of her tongue. It's very pretty.
There's no hesitation on Lup's part to take Elena's hand and shake it, the weirdness of the situation completely beyond her. To be honest, she's lived in a small space with five dudes for the last 50 years, so she's used to seeing a lot of unnecessary male nudity when she doesn't want it. It's nice to have a bit of the opposite, especially with how tasteful the hot spring makes it. It's like, more sophisticated nudity.]
Hey, that's good. [She's honestly half-tempted to call Taako up right there just to fling that in his face playfully, but, you know, probably better saved for another time. Maybe when there's less naked women nearby.] I guess that's a choice advantage of suddenly being younger.
no subject
[Elena grins and leans back. It feels like she's just made a friend and that's got her a little more chipper, despite the circumstances she just described.]
But me, I'm the older one in my situation. Only by a few days, but a lot can happen in a few days. I'll have to figure out another advantage.
no subject
Are you kidding? Sis, I can gua-ran-tee that, no matter the age, that you are the one out-glowing him in this relationship. You're gorgeous! Like, okay, full transparency, I can't differentiate between human ages at all, but you look like you're, uh, twenty? Twenty-five? Totally killing that youthful glow thing. There's no way he should be doing anything but like, reminding you how fucking great you look.
Also, killer rack. Y'know, girl-to-girl.
no subject
Older than that, but thanks. [Possibly she shouldn't feel so flattered—okay, it's a tiny bit embarrassing, but like 90% flattering—but hey, this scenario is a lot different than when some creepy guy wants to let her know her tits look great.]
Really, though, I'm joking—the way Nate looked when he saw I was here, I don't think a few days are going to bother him. Girl-to-girl, I think the last few months have taken a toll on him.
[You know. Bedroom-wise.]
no subject
But Elena is hitting all of the right buttons for Lup, this conversation surprisingly easy and comfortable. It's nice.]
Oh. Oh, [Lup whistles, the connection fairly easy to make. Four months is a very long time.] I get what you mean. [She's pretty much in the same situation, unfortunately.] Well, I'm sure your Nate is like-- [wait. WAIT] Hold up! Nate? Your hubby is Nate? Nate Drake?
no subject
Yeah, that's him. I take it you know each other?
no subject
Wow, he's like stupid hot. [eh, she tried] Yeah, we've hung out a few times. Talked about mopeds, went sharktopus hunting together, the ush.
no subject
[Elena doesn't bat an eye. Nate's hotness isn't why she married him...but it helped.]
I saw the sharktopus stitches. Kinda sad I missed that one.
no subject
He'd kind of a magnet for trouble, huh? [Not unlike her friends. Okay, and probably her too, but shh] I knew there had to be someone keeping his ass in line to have survived this far. Now everything makes sense.
no subject
[Which doesn't make it feel any better when she's the one left anxiously wondering when, or if, she'll see him again. It's different when she's there with him to have his back.]
Which is a good thing, because we're a few years into this marriage thing. I think I'm committed to it.
no subject
Hey, sometimes you have to take 'em for a test drive and see if it's really a fit that works for you. [says Lup, who has never even considered marriage in her life before] But really, that's rad. He seems like a pretty cool dude, so y'know, good on you for grabbing that.
no subject
[Not in regards to marriage specifically, but hey. Still counts.]
I'm just glad I got here when I did, you know? I don't like to think of him being alone here. But he did say he'd made some friends—I'm guessing that includes you.
no subject
I'd hope so! [Lup laughs. There are a lot of people in Hadriel that she'll be happy to avoid, but Nathan Drake isn't one of them. Besides how easy it is to con him into things, he's just a pretty nice guy. It's hard to imagine him turning on the trust she's slowly putting on him.] Fighting off a mega sharktopus is just one of those things that brings people together, whether they want it or not.
