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!

There was nothing you could’ve done, Mettaton.

[Because he was dead, but Asriel doesn’t want to tell him that’s what he’s got to look around to.]

I was the one who ran off with Chara, it was my fault. Please don’t think it’s your fault, it really wasn’t.

[Mettaton wants to argue. He really does. But that's not the first experience he wants to have with Asriel, honestly. He wants this to be a happy occasion, because he gets to see his friend, and it's obviously his Asriel...]

No one getting hurt like that is to blame either. You didn't deserve it.

[He sighs, biting back the urge to let his thoughts spring forth into a mass of anger that he couldn't be there when he should have. Instead, he tries for a bit of levity.]

Well...at least between the both of us, we have proper vision, right?

[pleasereset]

[Asriel thinks it is. He should've protected Chara better, he should've seen that other spider-

And then Mettaton says that, and Asriel remembers him saying that exact same thing before. Some things just don't really change between them, do they? He has to bite down a laugh. It's not something he thinks he should be laughing at.]

Heh... yeah, I guess we do.

[He's so glad Mettaton is here. He wasn't sure what he'd do if he was stuck here without him.]

I kinda have a cool scar now, don't I?

[It looks hideous, he thinks.]
