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!

( bite, maybe not. shoot? joker might just have to bring that one up, another time.
either way, he doesn't seem to be budging. he knows you playin' akechi. but still— )

Even if you don't, they definitely do.

( out from the shadows comes a red glove, pointing in the direction of where the monsters were gathered, perhaps directly at one that seemed to have taken interest again in their direction.
and with that distraction... joker fled. shoes turning sharply as the sound of them padded hard against the ground, fading quickly as he made his escape. )

[And so Akechi fled as well, eventually making his way out of the colleseum entirely. He'd found a new phone on him, at one point, and read the newbie guide.

He didn't like what he read— then again, who does... but the time sensitivity of his particular job has an icy pit forming in his stomach and his fingers tightening around the cellphone.

He had to get back. He had to. Otherwise, everything... everything would be ruined. All these years of hardship would be—

His conflict doesn't show on his face as he makes his way around, a perfect mask of calm. He had time, but not much. He just had to... calm down... think about this rationally... and surely, he would be able to find his way back.]

( it had been just about impossible to think about anything else since that confrontation. in fact, now dressed in his shujin uniform and roaming the streets, akira is so preoccupied with thoughts of having run into akechi that he doesnt even realize hes about to... run into akechi.

slowly coming to a stop in the middle of the walkway, akiras hands are in his pockets, and he doesnt move. in the hot sun, he shifted his weight just slightly on his feet. thats right, he thought, here was no need to run... what more could akechi possibly do? )

[Well, it's impossible not to notice the other boy staring at him with a clearly uneasy expression, even with his being preoccupied.

...does this person... know him? Like Kitagawa did? He draws to a stop as well, expression more confused than wary.]

... yes? [He flashes a smile, trying to seem disarming. As one only should when a person looks so ill at ease, right?] Is there something on my face?
