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!

[That does it. Kain feels the ogre's grasp loosen up, just enough that he can push himself out, falling heavily to the ground. He grunts, scrambling to get up quickly, knowing there's no time to waste. Swiftly, Kain twirls around his lance, and then comes at the ogre for a head-on attack, jumping up to stab at it. His lance lands, jabbing straight into one of the monster's eyes. The sound of the ogre screaming is horrifying, but it's a good sign that they're making some progress against it.]

[Aren's not done, either. Instead of jumping down, she uses her blades to climb up, until she's atop a shoulder. When Kain attacks, it thrashes around but she's able to hold on, driving one of her blades into the other eye as Barkspawn rushes the beast. She doesn't let go as the ogre topples, thankfully with her atop it rather than the other way around. Blood-splattered, she yanks her blade out and catches her breath.]

...all accounted for?

[Her mabari barks, just as blood-splattered and looking rather pleased with himself.]

[Kain holds steady with his lance, driving it deeper, as Aren takes care of that other eye. Only then does he yank free and then leap off to the side, landing calmly on his feet. He straightens, steadying himself as he shakes the blood and flesh off the end of his lance. They all look pretty worn out and bloodied, but the good thing is, they're still standing after all of that.]

Apparently so. [He nods, glancing toward the massive form of that ogre, his tone dry as he observes,] How thoughtful, to bring a friend along with you...

[Aren shakes her head, as Barkspawn whines.]

Hey, I didn't! I wasn't fighting an ogre when I got here, and I would've sensed if one was nearby. Barkspawn wasn't either, I'm pretty sure. He was at a kennel, making babies. No ogres there.

No, it's all right, I'm not actually blaming you. This actually does happen sometimes... I'm not too sure why. I suppose you just get drawn in together due to being from the same world...

[There's no real way to explain it, though, is there? No one understands why certain people or monsters gat drawn here over others.]
