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!

[Aha, she knew he looked like a har.]

Yeah, actually. I live with them.

[Wait hold up]

You live with them? Who is "them?" Who's here?

[She hopes this isn't a mistake, but-]

Pellaz and Seel.

I'd ask if you were certain, but you've already said you live with them...

[Sigh. Those were not names he was expecting to hear.]

I apologize if Seel has been...unmanageable.

[She laughs, probably a little louder than needed.]

Hell yeah, he has.

[Really, Seel.]

I'm not surprised. But I am sorry. I'll try to keep him reined in from now on.

Yeah? [Now she's curious.]

Good luck.

Well, hopefully he still listens to me. If not I suppose he's in for a rather rude awakening.

He's been here a while. He might need that rude awakening.

I'm sure he does. You've obviously discovered his less than polite nature, I'll see if I can make him a civilized har again. If he ever was in the first place.

It's kind of hard to ignore it.

[She feels a little bad for both of them.]

It can be, yes, though he can also be rather sweet when he's nothitting or screaming.

That's real hard to believe.

And I don't blame you for it. I know exactly what he's like.

I can take you to the house. I don't know if he's there, though.

I'll have to find it one way or another. It might as well be now.

[She pulls a bottle of water from her bag and holds it out for him.]

Here, you can keep this one. You'll need it out there.

Thank you. I appreciate all your help.

Pell saved my life when I first got here.

[She figures it's fair to help others where she can, even hara.]

It's this way. [She starts walking back to the house, checking every once in a while to make sure Swift is keeping up.]

He has a way of doing that. [Meddlesome is an understatement]

Thank you, regardless.

You act like saving people is a bad thing.

[She's never going to agree with that statement.]

You're welcome.

I don't mean to. Only that Pell has a way of sticking his nose into eveyrhar's business. Benevolently, I'm sure.

[She laughs quietly.]

If you want me to keep out of your business, I'll remember that for the future.

I suppose we'll have to see what business there is.

I bet.

[She doesn't really want to get too involved, honestly.]
