Intro Log: Faceplanted

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for October
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: October 10th-14th
Warnings: Newbies, spookies, and evil trees!


If it's your first time here, congratulations! You get the lovely, unique sensation of eating dirt as the Door knocks you facefirst into the ground. You'll probably be a little woozy at first, so take your time getting up- meet some folks, introduce yourself, don't be weird about it. Welcome to Hadriel! You're not the only person who just got to taste alien dirt firsthand, though- there are several people in the same predicament as you, so feel free to say hi! Probably shouldn't spend too much time talking though, because the lovely trees that you thought were just scenery are starting to creep ever closer the more you let your guard down.

All around you is a forest of spooky evil trees- it seems to be just a normal sort of forest at first, but the more you take your eyes off of them, the more they shift around you and close in. Or is that just your imagination? If you move too close to one, look out! They're rather determined to pick you up and stick you into the ground so you might take root- and if you resist, well, a severed bud can still serve as a seed, right?

If the trees tear your clothes though, don't worry, there's plenty of extras to be found lying around the arena if you don't mind them being a bit dirty. Lying on the ground and sometimes hanging off of these tree branches are some free shirts, yours for the taking! You know, if you'd be caught dead with one...

But hey, after you've met new friends and found a new aesthetic, 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 October 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!

How is that racist? [ And yeah, her ears ARE awesome, but her messing his hair up? Not so much. He instinctively jerks his head away and tries to muss it back, even if it turns out to be just as messy as before. ]

--And where the fuck am I?

[She just shrugs in response. She's not actually offended, but that's her go-to whenever someone says something stupid about her elf-iness.]

You're in Hadriel. It's... gonna take a while to explain everything. Where are you from?

Home. [ It's said like it's obvious, but there's an edge in his voice. Fear. He's alone, he realizes--and maybe this time, voices aren't enough of a distraction.

He can't let anyone see that, though. Not now. He fumbles with his glasses instead, and clears his throat. ]
I was near the Barrens, next to the trainyard with my friends.

[ We made a promise, he wants to say, but he doesn't and instead looks at his hand. There's a slash across the palm, scarred now instead of fresh, where a shard of a coke bottle had once served as an instrument in a blood pact. ]

Um... I don't know where that is.

[As much as Kyna struggles with this sort of thing usually, she catches the fear in his voice, and she feels a sudden pang of sympathy for him. He's just a kid. He must be terrified. She rests a hand on his shoulder.]

I'm from Brooklyn. Have you ever been there before?

[He has to be from Earth considering all those Scooby Doo references, right?]

[ It's not weird she doesn't know about the barrens, Richie thinks. She's clearly not from Derry, not with those ears--and even if she didn't have those ears, Richie's pretty sure he knows anyone and everyone in town, at least by face. It's not exactly a big city. ]

Totally. Not personally, but it's in post cards and stuff. I'm from Maine. But you can't be from Brooklyn, your ears are too fucked.

[Kyna rolls her eyes dramatically.]

God, none of you people have ever seen elves before. You know what's cool about being an elf?

[She reaches out to tap his glasses.]

My eyesight is perfect.

[Despite the ribbing, her tone is still friendly. She's not being mean, at least, just giving him shit back.]

Real jokester, we got someone with real good chucks, next big thing in stand up comedy, wowza! A mouth to rival the trashmouth.

[ Which is to say Richie does not appreciate that joke but isn't in the least hurt by it. Mostly because he's used to it, it's one of the main reasons he's part of the Loser's club. Also, because she's hot. ]

Shouldn't you be making toys in Santa's workshop, Chuckette?

Man, I haven't heard that one before. That was good.

[What a brat. Apparently she's not too bothered, because she makes a grab for his hand to start pulling him away from the trees.]

Are you gonna try to bully the trees to death, smart ass?
trashmouths: <user name=hoopskirts> (04)

[personal profile] trashmouths 2017-10-23 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not a bully. [ Though he kind of acts like one, doesn't he? The words tumble out and while they're not sharp or insulted, he wants to make it very clear. He doesn't tease to make people feel bad, he teases to make people laugh. ]

Are they--y'know--everywhere? Am I just in a big-ass forest? Where's everyone?

[personal profile] evocation 2017-10-24 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
They're probably only inside the coliseum. That's how it usually works.

[She thinks? Hopefully.]

Everyone else is outside.

[personal profile] trashmouths 2017-10-25 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you seen anyone my age? A tall guy with a stutter? A super neat and tidy jew? Some cranky kid with a cast and an aspirator? Girl with short red hair, anyone like that?
evocation: (046)

[personal profile] evocation 2017-10-25 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... No. Sorry. They might be around, though. Sometimes people from the same place show up together. That's what happened to me.
trashmouths: <user name=hoopskirts> (04)

[personal profile] trashmouths 2017-10-26 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ His gaze dips, and it would be subtle if it weren't for his magnifed lenses. It's quick, and he forces a smile that looks more like a grin, trying to ignore how his heart sinks. ]

They'll be along shortly, wot wot? I say, chap, be a right good strumpet and keep an eye out for 'em!
evocation: (pic#11117212)

[personal profile] evocation 2017-10-28 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Don't call me a strumpet.

[She shoots it back automatically, but that looks doesn't slip past her. The stupid joking cover up is exactly what she'd do.]

Do you want me to help you look for them?
trashmouths: <user name=hoopskirts> (27)

[personal profile] trashmouths 2017-10-31 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
No. No, that's okay. [ He adjusts his glasses, uncomfortable, feeling alienated in a way he's unused to. He's used to being a loser, he's used to not being kept up to speed, but this is different. This is a different kind of fear. ]

Just--uh--lemme know if you do find any of them, alright? They'll have this.

[ He opens his palm, revealing a jagged scar, fresh but not bleeding. ]
