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!

Is it really so bad here? [ The question flies out of Richie's mouth before he can stop it--typical, freaking typical--so he settles on just awkwardly shrugging. ]

I'd say Hope's pretty much the real deal. One of them sold us out to huge robots we were fighting earlier, though, so who knows?

[lowkeycrazy]

[He raises an eyebrow at the boy.] While this city is absolutely charming, I'm sure [—it's not—] I have a strict schedule to uphold back home. Absence is not acceptable.

[trashmouths]

Why? What's so important you can't fall into a weird world filled with beanie babies and monsters?

[lowkeycrazy]

As it happens, plenty. [aka: he isn't telling.] If you'll excuse me.

[Time to see what this "Hope" guy's about...]

[trashmouths]

Have fun! [ Richie's half-calling it over his shoulder, anyway. ]

Oh, and something fucked up always happens every month, so brace yourself, 'kay?

[lowkeycrazy]

[sorry richie, he... isn't even bothering to respond.

something "fucked up" huh... he really landed himself in a fun place, didn't he...]
