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!

[ This is a rollercoaster ride from start to end, dude. Noctis just stares at him, wide-eyed, because what the hell? ]

A... weird replica of a town you were in. [ He's struggling to catch up, so help him out here, buddy. ] I -- what planet? Our planet?

[failtography]

I don't know, man. There were definitely humans, but the tech was different. Old. At least, before they started telling us about what was really going on behind the scenes. Apparently we all got cryogenically frozen before it happened and they revived us, which honestly is hella weird, cause you'd think I would remember something like that — don't recall anything after I got knocked off the Niff speeder, though.

[ Noctis gets the distinct, unpleasant sensation that he's missing one hell of a lot here, but decides to settle on one extremely, very important question. ]

And the scratch on your eye...? [ Where did that one come from? In the weird town? ] How did you even manage to get a baby chocobo?

Got careless fighting somethin', that's all. My eye's fine — it's just a scratch. Bit of a bummer since the pirate aesthetic is kinda growing on me, but anyway, it's nothing to worry about. ( saying that he did it in reckless abandon, after aranea died in his arms would probably be putting a burden of concern on noct that he doesn't deserve, so prompto leaves it at that in a hurry to address the other question. ) About this little girl, though — she was on my doorstep all of a sudden, in a box. Just right out of nowhere. Some kind of present? It was during the winter, too, so obviously I couldn't just leave her out there!
