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!

► This log covers January 10th-14th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

"And I get why you wouldn't."

Nick's eyes fall for a moment, down to the counter; he lifts them back to Rey after letting out a sigh, offering his hand on the bar to her as a sign of support. The unfortunate nature of the city means that people come and go, but so far, they've manage to keep each other. It's not perfect, but it's enough to give Nick hope, to keep him going even when things look darker than they've ever been. That doesn't make the losses any easier to suffer, but... at least neither of them is alone.

For now. That part of him that tries to consider all angles of a situation can't help but remind him of that little possibility. That's what makes it all the more urgent that they either find the Door themselves and learn to use it, or make the gods understand why it is some of them want to go home while others want to stay. If only they could work out a way to pull in those who need a second chance at life—

But if that were the case, would he even be there? Nick doesn't want to go home now, but there was a time he would've liked to, when he thought more about what he left behind than the people who need him within Hadriel.

Not much point in mulling over it now, he figures. What's important to him is right in front of him.

"Still... It's better to stay in contact with people." She pauses, a slight simper stretching across her mouth. "Otherwise they kick down your door and don't leave you alone."

Rose had been the only one to do the actual door kicking, but it wasn't like everyone else in between was giving her much of a choice.

And that's fine. Maybe she needed the tenacity of those willing to help pull her head back above water.

She's just grateful that Nick had the courtesy not to kick her door.
