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!

[...Uh oh. This is part of this whole thief thing, isn't it? What are the chances?]

...Ah. Not at this very moment, no. But, you can call him. Check your pockets for a phone.

[Yusuke wonders what good a phone will do if this really is the Metaverse, but then... Metaverse logic. He doesn't actually have pockets in his thief jumpsuit so he pats himself down, finally finding a phone tucked in the folds of his sash next to his tail.]

When did this get here? How odd.

[He turns it on and checks through the apps for the Nav, or something that might resemble it. No joy, though.]

They're placed on people when they arrive. There are also documents on it that will give you more details about the situation here.

You know how they work, then?

[Yusuke seemed more confused by how it got there rather than what it was. But Raidou sure had no idea how it worked when he arrived.]

I see... Yes, that's right. My smartphone isn't so different from this one.

[And in fact, he might've just tried calling Akira on his regular phone, had Raidou not pointed out this one. Not that there would be any reception here, but... worth a try, right?]

Then you have everything you need to get started here.

[Yusuke's normal phone won't be any good, but somehow this new one is. Thanks, god magic.]

Hadriel can be a bit boring when there's nothing strange happening. There isn't much in the way of entertainment, but people are trying to build new things, and clean up after a fire last month. It's best to keep busy.

[He's still trying to figure out how to do that himself.]

[personal profile] wantsnudes 2017-10-25 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I'm certain it will be easy enough to keep busy. To have the chance to behold another world... This is an opportunity I won't allow to go to waste.

[Yusuke taps his chin thoughtfully, looking around. This can definitely serve as new inspiration for himself and his art, he's sure.

He looks back at Raidou.]
I'm going to go search for Akira, and take some time to explore the city. Thank you for all your help.

There's not much here as far as the town, but there is a lot of people to talk to, from all over the universe. That part, at least, is always interesting.

[Says the kid who's been here three months and still hasn't made a network post. He's not the chatty type.]

There is a bar, and there's talks of building a cafe. The library is pretty much useless, and a lot of people work at the clinic.

The idea of other worlds is truly fascinating. I'm sure I will enjoy speaking with people here.

[He's underage, though, which means no bar for him, even if he was interested in such things. On the other hand...]

For what reason is the library useless? I presume because none of the texts are in Japanese?

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2017-10-26 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not in any language anyone here can read. It's totally alien. It's suggested that it's leftover from whatever people resided here before we did. The rest of the books are too damaged to read, or blank inside. Very rarely something readable appears, though.

[He looks less than thrilled about his only viable find so far.]

... I once found a romance novel that was mostly fine, other than the last five pages are missing.

[personal profile] wantsnudes 2017-10-26 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... And there's no artbooks, or anything with illustrations in?

[Something like that would at least be nice to look at, even if he can't read the explanatory text around it.]

[personal profile] the_fourteenth 2017-10-27 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that I've found yet. But they might be in there somewhere. The place was wrecked, so it's been a project trying to get it back together in the first place.

[C'mon, there's got to be some good news to give this guy. Raidou isn't enjoying being the bearer of all this bad news. He's quiet for a moment while he thinks of something.]

Ah... The bar - which they call the speakeasy [He's not sure why, it's isn't really...] - has video games upstairs. Those are pretty fun. [He's been learning to play them all!]
wantsnudes: fox (069)

[personal profile] wantsnudes 2017-10-31 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I've never played many video games myself, but that seems like something Akira would enjoy.

[Even from a world with modern appliances everywhere, Yusuke's upbringing was still way too old-fashioned for a lot of things.]
