Intro Log: Faceplanted

[hadrielmods]

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!

Ah!

[From where he was crouching, the fish suddenly leaping up at him nearly gives Yusuke a heart attack, and he yelps and reels back in fright.]

Y-you could have warned me about that kind of surprise! [He scrambles to his feet, backing off from the edge of the pond, and staring at it warily as if half-expecting something bigger to try to jump out at him. And here he just wanted to admire something pretty...]

[jocoeur]

Ah... ( he echoes his friend.
he had actually been caught off guard as well, the blank look on his face just didn't convey it that well.

there's a shrug in response at first— akira had no idea that would happen, though he moved to dust a part of yusuke's sleeve off. )

Sorry, maybe they... like you?

( i mean, they were no lobsters but...
another shrug, this time with a bit of a goofy grin to back it up. ) Should we turn down the excitement and head home next? Heh.

[wantsnudes]

That's an odd way to show fondness, if so.

[Yusuke runs a hand through his hair and still looks agitated, but it's hard to be too pressed about it when Akira has that goofy grin on his face.]

"Home"? [He echoes, expression curious. Obviously he isn't referring to Leblanc, so...] Where have you been living?

[jocoeur]

With Ann and Raidou. ( with that, he stuffs his hands into his pockets, shifting his weight slightly. )

It isn't much, but... we have a house. You can stay in my room.

( let's just nip that sharing with ann idea in the bud immediately!!! )

[wantsnudes]

Ah, then we get to be roommates again? That would be quite fun.

[It's fine, Akira, he's gotten over his initial fascination with Ann by now. Probably.]

Very well, show me the way.
