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!

Well, I wasn't expecting to be.

[ Said flippantly, but after it's out he realizes he probably shouldn't be so flippant about it. Vax takes a deep breath as he looks around, and a frown settles onto his face. ]

If this isn't Exandria, then where are we? Even folks in the Hells and Feywild know the gods; I'm not at all sure how I've gotten somewhere no one knows any of them.

[That right there is the face of a man beginning to realize the depth of his situation. Ephemera can relate. He's just happy his helmet conceals his face entirely.] It's called Hadriel. Got yanked in here through some crazy magic bullshit like the rest of us.

[othlir]

Oh, I'm used to "crazy magic bullshit." It's just that I'm far more used to knowing where I'll be ending up.

[ He pauses then, narrows his eyes a little bit. ] Sorry— is someone actually in there? [ Reaches up, knocks at the visor on his helmet. ] It's just a bit hard to tell, when you're all covered up like that.

[requiemshark]

[That's rude. Ephemera steps back, frowning.]

I like not getting shot in the head.

[But he's trying the whole "be social" thing, so.

He sighs, and pulls his helmet off. Baring scars and his bad eye for the whole fucking world to see.]

Happy?
