Intro Log: Rock This City

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for January
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: January 10th-14th
Warnings: New folks, rockin' dudes made of rock, and collectible friends!

This time, it's different.

There's no cave, no stone walls looming up around you and overhead, no stifling air or artificial light- not that you'd appreciate it, seeing as to how you've probably never been here before. And still, when you land facefirst on the dirt ground of the colosseum, you may not quite appreciate all the improvements and steps we've had to take to get here- after all, you're still surrounded by strangers in a crumbling city on an alien planet in the middle of nowhere.

Oh, and you're being attacked by Earth Elementals. These creatures are tall, between seven to ten feet, and made of solid rock, capable of punching through all the squishy bits of you- and for whatever reason, they definitely want to start punching. They're incredibly strong and, seeing as to how they're enchanted alive and have no internal organs, they're very difficult to kill.

But don't let that scare you off. For all the collectors in you, you can also find a very special array of beanie babies all scattered at the ground at your feet. Do you know that some of these things will be worth a lot of money someday? Better find the rarest one and stockpile it while you can! You might run into the rainbow crab, the platypus, or the sought-after bald eagle, or many more! Be sure to never take the tag off and never ever let anyone play with them so they don't lose value.

Once you've got your kids' college fund squared away, it's time to start exploring! You can 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!

colosseum

[dedikated]

( It's taken the better part of a month, but Kate feels alive again. Power thrums through her body, familiar and warm, and though her hair has long since lost its pink hue among all the chaos of recent times, she looks more vibrant than a person should probably be in Hadriel.

What can she say, having her powers back does wonders for her mood. No more dragging her feet, being unable to jump stories high or feeling the exhaustion from moving with the longbow she uses.

The longbow which is the star of today's work, as she looses an arrow towards the arm of a figure that's almost startlingly familiar. It can't be— )

... Leliana?

[chantes]

( this is a face that leliana definitely should have expected to see and yet it still takes her a little by surprise. she's not used to being back, it's been mere moments since her arrival. her surprise couldn't be faulted, and neither could kate's -- for leliana it's been two years since she'd seen the cave. now... there didn't seem to be a cave )

Kate.

( she can't remember whether the longbow is new or not, though had leliana not been on her toes that good aim would have sent the arrow straight through her arm )

You're still here.

[dedikated]

( Yeah. Aim. We'll go with that, not being surprised enough to misfire. She lowers her weapon slightly, closing the distance between them somewhat.

The bow... well, she certainly started learning them soon after the zombies attacked, but it's taken years for it to become a faithful weapon. Not her knives, but certainly more powerful. )

Long story.

( She left for what seemed like months to Hadriel, but was years for her. First things first, though; )

Want to get out of here?

( Even all the longbow's power doesn't seem to do great amounts against a golem like this. )
