hadriel_logs | 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!

"I didn't ask, Seel." So much for worrying about him. But it made sense, even if he very carefully did not think that too loudly. Seel getting kicked out was almost typical, really. Only Swift hadn't yet managed to kick him out of the entire house.

He sighed, though, and took Seel's offered hand, standing from the couch. "I don't have anything, Seel." He'd literally just gotten there, after all, he hadn't had time to accumulate anything. "Grab what you need."

Seel was very grateful that was not a very loud thought because he really didn't want to think about it, especially after Swift's 'we all need friends and to be better, decent hara' speech. They hadn't even finished the fight they were having. Had. Whatever.

"Alright. It's mostly clothing. I'll just be a few minutes." He glanced at Swift, making sure he was going to bring those papers. His lifeline. Besides Swift. It was proof that Forever was waiting for them.

"Alright. I'll be waiting out here." Trying not to consider the ugly possibilities of being here or away from Forever and Galhea at all. Especially now when they needed their leader. He could only imagine the chaos it must have caused after--well. After.

He took the time to gather the papers and stash that strange device in another pocket. He wasn't going to leave anything behind in a house that wasn't his. Despite that it was rude, it was probably also some superstition Cobweb had passed to him and he couldn't quite remember it.

Seel gathered up his things, grabbing bags that he'd have to return to Pell later. He took a look around, not entirely attached to the place, but it still seemed weird. He'd spent almost eight months there, and now he was leaving it. Unlike Swift, Seel wasn't preoccupied with not having left things behind. He probably forgot things. Cobweb would have probably be horrified that he hadn't smudged the place or something. Cobweb was always overly melodramatic.

"Ready? Let's go. I'll message the others when we're settled."

"Alright." He almost added an if you're sure, but of course Seel was sure and asking wasn't going to change his answer. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous leaving the safety of company, but they needed their privacy. There were going to be breakdowns and yelling and subjecting housemates to hearing that was desperately unfair. The things they had to deal with weren't easy and there was no solution for them but to weather it out. Away from people who might try to understand something they couldn't.

"Lead the way. You'll know better than I will."
