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!

Not on my own phone! There's this other one I found in my pocket. Has some kind of guide to the place, here — ( he hands it over, with the newbie guide open. ) Apparently this place's run by eight gods - well, Iunno if they are or not, that's just what they're callin' themselves. I was thinking at first that it could be another experiment by Ortech? Y'know, like the place we last were. Doesn't seem that way, after reading this, but there's a, uh. Similarity, I guess, in that they can revive people who've died here. ( his gaze drifts a little, settles on aranea's midriff before he continues. ) Hopefully you don't have to go through that again, though. The guide says there are some monsters around too, mostly in the caves on the outskirts.

[ She takes the phones, scrolls through idly - hasn't thought to check for her own yet. There's... a lot of information, but Prompto's cut right to the important parts, and she flashes him a crooked smile when he mentions revival. ]

Not if I can help it.

So monsters, and the guys in charge call themselves gods. Swell. Can't catch a break, can we?

Looks like it. ( the grin he offers aranea is equal parts wry and resigned. not the first time they've been dumped into such a situation, at least - hopefully without messing with their memories, this round.

his face is getting a bit warm, too. must be the two suns. )

So. Wanna go hunt for an apartment?

[ Listen

Aranea is Tough. Battle hardened and not the kind to have fits of sentiment. So if it looks like she's thinking that the way he blushes over that after everything they've been through together and everything they've done makes him so sweet and special, or that she gives him a completely mushy smile over it -

it's probably his imagination. ]

Sounds good, Shortcake.
