Intro Log: The Joys of Composting

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for September
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: September 10th-14th
Warnings: New folks! Bugs! Weird stuff!


It's that time again! Or, well, probably the very first time for you. It's not that often that you turn up in a different world - unless it is. You awaken on the ground of a large arena, a stone ceiling stretching high above you. Welcome to Hadriel! Don't worry, you weren't the only one who woke up here. So did a bunch of other people - and so did some monsters.

Yup, crawling around being incredibly gross are quite a few Jauchekafers, large beetles that feed off chemical and biological waste from humans. When upset or alarmed, they're perfectly happy to swarm and attack people, so hopefully you didn't wake up in the middle of them. Being about two and a half feet long, their bites can do quite a bit of damage, and that's not even counting the toxicity that might be passed on from their diet!

Speaking of their diet, those beetles aren't the only trash that's washed up in Hadriel this month. While making your escape from the arena, you might stumble over a interesting table or a possibly comfy chair, or even a piece of art. A lot of it's pretty cool, but you're not gonna find anything that isn't made out of trash. But hey, maybe that's your aesthetic?

Don't get too distracted by all this trash that has been turned into treasure. 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 September 10th-14th.
► 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!

[Ah, good old anachronism.]

What, really? I mean we've got elevators, but robots? That's cool as hell. Unless you mean like, roombas or whatever. Less cool.
hellosirs: (OH GOSH)

[personal profile] hellosirs 2017-09-24 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really sure what a roomba is, sir? The only robots I've met are, um... well, one of them's a spirit in a robot body, and the other I didn't actually meet, he was sort of a quiz game robot who ended up malfunctioning.

... Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Angus McDonald!

our tabletop may have slightly borrowed from your canon o o p s

Roombas are like robot maids? But shittier. The quiz game thing sounds familiar, though. Not sure if ours was a robot or like, a monster of some kind.

[He's... pretty sure that wasn't a robot? But it kinda looked like one...]

Angus McDonald. [This poor kid.]

Indiana Jones, at your service. [ThIS POOR KID. Tucker introduces himself with such confidence that it probably rings true, unless Angus has the pop culture knowledge or skills to judge otherwise.]

[ Angus is very, very good at reading facial expressions and body language, and can usually tell when someone is lying to him... but he also has absolutely no pop culture knowledge, and is notoriously gullible when it comes to falling for goofs. He nods solemnly, and holds out a hand to shake. Score one for 'Doctor Jones!' ]

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Jones, though I sort of wish it were under better circumstances.
nowherewolf: (eh? eeehhhhh?)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2017-09-27 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Holy shit. Holy shit. This is the best day of Tucker's life. He'd always wanted to be like Indy when he grew up.

He considers correcting Angus to "Doctor", but that might be pushing it. He can't ruin this.]


Yeah, so do I. Guess we'll just have to make the best of it, huh?

[He shakes the kid's hand.]
hellosirs: (so it's gonna be like this huh)

[personal profile] hellosirs 2017-10-02 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ Angus is vaguely suspicious that there's some kind of joke being had at his expense here, but he can't see how a name as innocuous as 'Mr. Jones' could be a goof (and the name 'Indiana' doesn't even register as weird to him!). ]

I suppose so, sir. Are you a recent arrival too?
nowherewolf: <lj user=swansong> (hoodie reprise)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2017-10-03 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Good. Amazing.]

Sure am. [And he's not especially happy about it, but Angus doesn't need to know the extent of that.]

Situation seems easy enough to figure out, though.
