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!

Exploring

[thelastjoy]

[Girl's already inside a store, poking around clothing. The shirt she's holding up is too big for her -and has three too many arm holes for her human form besides- but she balls it up after a moment to stuff into her backpack anyway. She gives Evangeline a sidelong look when the woman enters, gaze flitting toward the door.]

There's a jacket over there. [She nods toward the shelves on the far wall.] If it's this hot durin' the day, it's likely to get awful cold once night hits.

[The other person in the store isn't someone that she knows. It's not someone that was familiar to her in any shape or form. However, at the mention of a jacket she gives a bit of a nod.]

I'm sure that it'll come in handy.

[Moving towards the far wall she looks over the jackets before grabbing one that was liable to keep her warm, any day of the week.]

Have you been here long?

[thelastjoy]

[Girl continues to pick over the stuff on her side of the store, glancing at the woman every few moments. She's wary by nature and an enclosed room with someone she doesn't know bother's her a little. But she's not trying to be unfriendly and she turns gives her full attention when the woman speaks.]

Two months, maybe? [She shrugs.] I'm not good at keepin' track but it feels like I've been here a spell. You just get here?

[poisonprincess]

[Being wary by nature was a good thing to be. Evie doesn't know this other person's history and is a bit wary herself. Especially after dealing with a world where baggers tried to kill people.

Her fingers trail over a shirt before picking a different one out. However, it bothers her a bit that the other person mentions being there two months.]

Yes, I just got here. I figured coming here would be a good idea, to make a bugout bag, just in case something happened.

[thelastjoy]

You got a good idea. I get the feelin' stuff happens here more often than we get the calm. Whole city gettin' moved over night, robot attacks...that was just since I got here. You better get prepared for anything and everything.

You should grab enough of the clothes to make bandages for the bag. Just in case. They got stuff in the clinic, but you never know what will keep you from gettin' there.
