hadriel_logs | 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!

[it's a very stupid game involving very tight pants and concussions]

And after? [said with a teasing lilt to her voice] Oh my God, are you serious? You are, aren't you? Lonely women need their private time as much as men do. Maybe even more. I would've shoved something in front of the door or put a chair under the knob or something.

Yeah, I don't get it. Back home, I had guys lining up to fuck me. Here? [she makes a "pft"ing noise and throws her hands up in the air] It's hopeless. All of the guys are either taken or gay. Or both.

[Laura, you are playing a dangerous game. Barry's been in Hadriel all of two months and Lup's already spent way too much time talking to other folk's about his dick. So far, he blessfully hasn't found out.]

Now we fuck like rabbits. Natch. Gotta get that daily dose of vitamin D. [The D stands for dick.] Yeah well, my brother isn't always the brightest. Plus he was probs trying to pretend his dearest sister had needs that weren't getting met.

That's crazy, but I'm sure someone will come along with eyes that work. Hey, if I wasn't already happily tied down, I'd smack it.

[she is glad to be counted in that number! she loves sex. having it, talking about having it, talking about other people having it. she. loves. sex.]

Good for you! And I think I met him when he arrived. He seems cool. [she assumed so, yes :) ] That sounds typical for brothers. I don't have any brothers or sisters, but my best friend Donna does and she says that they're always in her business.

They better. I'm running out of things to fantasize about and we don't have any porn to help things along. Which is unfair. Porn stimulates emotions. You'd think the gods would give it to us for free.

Yep, sounds like Taako.

[Lup says like she doesn't love it most of the time.]

I dunno, if I was able to get a whole stinkin' body out of Hope for a few favors, you should be able to get somethin' out of them for less, right?

That's your brother? I don't think I've met him yet.

[Laura ultimately has to be grateful she's an only child. she wouldn't want anyone else suffering at BOB's hands]

Too bad Delight turned out to be a double-crossing bitch. She'd have gotten me some porn. You think Love might?

No? Guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Boy likes to keep to himself most of the time.

[Lup can't imagine a childhood without her brother's support guiding her. He was her reason for everything, for becoming tough and learning magic, just so she could keep him protected. But their childhood was still nowhere near as difficult to navigate as Laura's. At least they had each other, knew they could keep the rest of the world at bay.]

Haven't talked to Love myself, but probs. Give her a ring. Just specify what kinda porn you want or she may give you somethin' real nasty.

Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, I like to be by myself, too.

[sometimes Laura wonders what it would've been like to have a brother or sister. if there would've been as much pressure to act the act of the perfect daughter while concealing such corruption within. but at the same time, could she really wish for a sibling? so far as she knows, they'd be made a victim of BOB, too. she can't wish that on anyone]

How nasty can it be, it's Love. I figured the best I could hope for was a man and woman, missionary style on a bed. With soft lighting and maybe a smooth jazz soundtrack.

[What Laura was made to live through was unforgivable. Maybe a sibling would have eased the burden put onto her shoulders, given her someone she could trust explicitly, but it's so hard to share that kind of pain with someone you love. It's easier to take it all on yourself.

Lup spent her whole childhood keeping her brother safe, making sure he was taken care of and loved and never hurt. She gets it, just a little.]

Boring! At least throw in a third and make it a little more excitin', hun. Be good to yourself.

[and she did a great job of taking all of the pain on herself. granted, it made her act in all kinds of unhealthy ways, but she shouldered the burden.

that would be nice to know because she feels like her life's experiences are so foreign to other people's]

But should the third be another man or another woman? Or should I go ahead and ask for four, so there's two of each?

Four is fine, but three is that sweet spot, babe. Get two hotties taking good care of you or, fuck, even better, letting two hotties use you to take care of themselves. Either or. Both is good. Men, women, and anyone in between. It's all bomb as fuck.

[she laughs]

I've been there, both letting two hotties take care of me and letting two hotties use me to take care of themselves. I don't know which I like better.

Y'know, I'm shit at picking an age out with humans, but you seem kinda on the young scale. Still, good for you for chasin' your bliss. Life's too short and all that.

I'm seventeen and I've already done a lot of chasing my bliss. Here, though? Not so much.

Maybe find other blisses to chase? Nothing wrong with a healthy sex life - you're an adult, do whatever the fuck you want - but there's other good shit out there too.

Well. . . I work at the bakery. That's nice. And most nights, I find myself hanging out at the Speakeasy.

Oh, you into baking? My brother and I are too. It's a good way to pass the time.

Yeah, I am. Cooking in general. I used to run this thing back home where we'd take meals to elderly people who couldn't leave their houses. And it's good. Relaxing.

Oh shit, we should actually cook together sometime. Not just, y'know, little kids bossing you around.

[she laughs and grins]

Definitely. That sounds like a lot of fun.
