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!

[It's vastly inappropriate given the situation, but Lucretia stumbles over her words and Lup can't help but laugh, that soft, gentle smile of hers curling into a familiar sharp grin. She leans in just to playfully bump foreheads with the other woman, her nose brushing Lucretia's just barely, before she's finally pulling away, one of her hands grasping for her friend's, lacing their fingers together like it hasn't been decades since they last were this close.

(Honestly, even with the time spent apart and the new age showing against Lucretia's face, it does feel as easy as anything. Like they'd never been apart at all.)]

As sweet as this whole reunion is, I'm thinkin' we should split before that guy over there-- [She jabs a thumb over her shoulder, right in the direction of another shambling earth elemental heading their way.] --Tries to get in on this sweet, sweet lady moment.

[Lup gives Lucretia's hand a gentle tug, guiding her forward a few steps before she's tugging harder and trying to get Lucretia to break into a run. Sure, it wouldn't take anything for the elf to blast through these creatures, especially with their combined power, but all Lup wants to do is get out of the arena so she can hug the shit out of her best friend for the first time in nearly a dozen years. As she races forward, Lup throws a look over her shoulder at Lucretia and grins, voice raised above the grunting elementals around them.]

Got some great news for you on that front though, babe! Where I came in from the timeline, you and I already had our lil' reunion. I was already freed. So as great as it is seein' this pretty face here, just know you won't be missin' out on anythin' back in your timeline too.

[Hopefully it's as much a reassurance to Lucretia as it had been to Taako and Barry. Both had come from earlier in Lup's timeline, uncertain if they'd ever find her again, so for the woman to be able to sooth some of that worry had meant everything to them. Even if they returned and forgot everything about Hadriel, finding Lup was just moments away.]
