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!

[Outside, sure. She supposes she should be thankful that there's more to this place than a big arena full of monsters.]

Ah, um. Well. Yes, I did.

[There's nothing all that special about that, in her mind. She simply did what had to be done. If she's dead she can't fulfill her mission. If she's dead she can't fix all her mistakes and make things right.]

So, people end up here. And you're...one of those people I presume?

[She holds out a hand. It's not this woman's fault this is happening. No need to be discourteous.]

My name is Lucretia.

[badchoicesmadeeasy]

Yeah, I...yeah. [ She wishes she wasn't. And she's not really great at welcoming people yet.

Part of her hopes she won't have the time to be.

But this woman is polite, and which Alana doesn't expect the gesture, she awkwardly returns it in an attempted handshake. ]

Mine's Alana.


Huh, I don't know if those things...regenerate. So, maybe, lets get going.

I'll tell you what I know on the way.

[slapsyouback]

[Seems reasonable. She'd just as soon not fight any more of these things if she doesn't have to. She nods in a 'lead the way' sort of gesture and follows Alana toward the exit.]

Is the rest of this place full of...[Monsters? Creatures? She doesn't let her mind travel too far down the road of thinking what could be awaiting her outside the walls of this place, but she doesn't like walking into something she doesn't understand either.]...things we'll have to fight?

Seems like a, ah, pretty shit place, so far. If I'm being perfectly honest.

[badchoicesmadeeasy]

[ Alana leads her out of the coliseum and through the exit hallway, doing her best to "welcome" this person.]

It's pretty shitty, yeah.

I haven't-- the things that were in there were different, when I showed up. And apparently there's been a lot of shit going on in this place for a really long time, but I haven't really seen any things that need fighting off. Besides those rock guys, I mean.

How did you even do that?
