Intro Log: Rock This City

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!

► This log covers January 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!

Maybe a toy factory blew up somewhere.

[ Noctis is tempted to hide the fish away because that's just embarrassing, man, but the pretty girl is smiling and there's a brown stuffed cat in her hand -- which is also admittedly quite cute. ]

So, you're a cat person too, huh?

( Maybe. It's kind of a shame that they're just stuffed animals, but when they're this cute Serah isn't going to complain. It's nice to have something good in amongst the strangeness of this new place. )

Uh-huh. ( LBR she's just a Friend To All Living Things... well. Mostly. Monsters need not apply. ) He doesn't look much like Snow, but it's okay. ( And the label says his name is Pounce, which is pretty sweet. ) Do you have a cat... back home, I mean?

( Since... that's apparently the case here. )

Snow's your cat?

[ Noctis asks, because it always helps to be sure of these things. Also, Snow is a strange name to call a cat, but what does he know, he's probably not the best person to name things, either. ]

Never got the opportunity. [ His apartment didn't allow pets, not even for crown princes of Lucis -- which, when he thinks about it now, is probably a very good thing. Tucking his garishly colorful fish into his pocket, he continues.] But they're not bad.

[ In other words, he really likes them. ]

( Serah nods, and then stops herself, a finger against her jaw in thought. There's a bit more to it than that. )

Well, she's the NORA house cat. My friend, Yuj, he found her and brought her home and now we all look after her.

( As you do in semi-post-apocalyptic societies. )

What's NORA?

[ A communal housing thing, or? There are new worlds out there, and the people who come from them are diverse and fascinating; apparently, she's turning out to be one of them. ]

Did your friends come with you? [ He hopes the cat gets to come with them if they did, or else who will look after her? ]

( Do you want the full story, Noctis? Because "a bunch of terrorists" is probably not the most pleasant answer. )

It's what my friends called themselves. It stood for No Obligations, Rules or Authority. ( Yeah. Y E A H. ) They were kind of a neighbourhood watch for people.

( Which totally goes with the acronym, right?

At the second question, Serah shakes her head.
) It looks like I came here alone.

( Which is strange, really. Why didn't Noel or Mog end up in this place with her? But that's a question for another day. )

Are your friends here?

[ "A bunch of terrorists" really isn't the most pleasant answer, all things considered. But neighborhood watch sounds good, and he nods. Well, at least the cat has someone to feed her. ]

A couple of them, yeah. Sorry to hear that you're on your own.

[ Alone, huh? That's gotta suck for anyone. He holds out his hand. ] I'm Noctis, by the way.

Serah. ( She's quite happy to move her beanie from her hand so she can shake, a smile lighting up her face. It's a little lonely to have lost Noel and Mog but... ) It's not so bad. Everyone seems nice so far.

( That's more than she could ask for. She could have been entirely alone. )

[personal profile] nascere 2018-02-07 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. Makes you wonder where the bad guys are.

[ Because there are bound to be some hanging around, right? There always is. He squeezes her hand briefly before letting go. ] Anyway, I'm gonna look around for a bit. You wanna come along?
odinbolt: (ʀᴇᴀᴅʏ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴇꜰɪɴᴇ;)

[personal profile] odinbolt 2018-02-11 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
( She'd rather hope there isn't, but Serah's also seen enough to think that Noctis might just be right there. )

Okay. Sure.

( Looking around, however, sounds much more productive than worrying about potential bad guys. So, off they go! )

[personal profile] nascere 2018-02-15 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Off they go, definitely! He's setting off at a sedate pace, and he's making headway towards the direction of the shops, comfortably quiet. Nearing one of the clothes shops, however, he gestures to it briefly. ]

Need anything?
odinbolt: (sᴏᴀʀ ʙᴇʏᴏɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ sᴏʀʀᴏᴡs;)

( That's a good point. She'd been thinking about finding weapons, but... )

I guess if we can't leave... ( Clothes, housing, all of that's in order. ) Come on. ( And, you know what? She's been running around saving the timeline for ages. It's kind of nice to shop for something other than weapons. )
