Intro Log: Fly, My Pretties!
What: The intro log for May
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: May 10th-14th
Warnings: Flying monkeys! New friends! Prosthetic limbs!
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: May 10th-14th
Warnings: Flying monkeys! New friends! Prosthetic limbs!
Here in Hadriel, we do introductions right. That means dumping you on the ground of an old Roman-style Colosseum with a bunch of scary monsters and also a bunch of weird shit. Your monster of the day happens to be Winged Monkeys, more commonly known as flying monkeys, from the Wizard of Oz and affiliated stories!
As you may have been able to guess, these creatures can fly and they're rather intelligent- intelligent enough to wield spears and daggers as crude weapons and strong enough to pick someone right up off the ground and fly with them to a perch, where they'll... you know, stab them with their knives and stuff.
Why? We don't know. It's Hadriel.
Just in case you lose a couple of limbs in the process of escaping these critters, we've got you covered. Scattered around the newbies are prosthetic limbs for various body parts. These limbs are all fully functional, even if they look a bit... odd, so if you've lost an arm or two, or a leg, or even a pinkie finger, feel free to grab one and try to figure out how to use it!
Good job dealing with those monkeys! It's kind of a weird thing to be threatening, but clearly someone was afraid of them once. Once you're done, 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 May 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!
git ridday 2 hurt
...has he taken a good look at her? No way he forgot her. He has a normal memory.
Maybe he's messing with her? The guy went and tortured a dude for information, after all.
Okay. She does what he tells her, climbs onto the bed. ]
I got stabbed with a spear in the arena. This guy named Lance healed most of it with a spell -- super weird, by the way -- but it's still a little open. [ And now the important part. ] ...you okay, doc?
no subject
Well you were lucky that he was there.
[Although he's never pleased to hear about Lance running into the arena, he's made his peace with it. But he pauses at the next question, brows knitting in confusion]
Me? Oh, I never go into the arena, so I'm fine. I'd do more damage than good, trust me.
[He can't be trusted to shoot a gun and he refuses to anyway. The same for any other weapon]
no subject
That's cool but I'm talking about how you told me your name like this is the first time we've ever seen each other. Still hasn't been that long since the last time I saw you.
[ Definitely not long enough to forget him. ]
no subject
I....I'm afraid I don't remember us meeting on a previous occasion....
[And to his knowledge there was never another version of himself in Hadriel. At least not one that anyone here had ever told him about]
...time...works strangely in this place. Were you here before?
no subject
No it doesn't. ]
No. I think even I'd remember that. [ She'd carve it onto her jewelry or something, come on. ] You're telling me you don't remember Stanton Parrish showing up at the office like it's no big?
no subject
[Now there's a name he hasn't said aloud in a long time. Strange given how much time and energy he had once devoted to it]
...How do you know that name?
[He frowns, face stern]
Are you a member of Red Flag?
no subject
Dude, I didn't even know Red Flag existed until like... a few months ago. I'm on your team, your side.
[ What the heeeeeeeell. ]
no subject
He gathers himself, pressing his glasses back into place on the bridge of his nose]
My team. So...are you telling me that you are an Alpha?
no subject
--except her stabwound still hurts a little, so she only makes it about halfway through all of that before she winces and twists her left arm back, like that'll help at all when Rosen isn't here to attack her. ]
Yeah. And I'm awesome, okay. A real asset.
[ Seriously, ask Harken. ...man she wishes he were here. ]
no subject
Alright. First things first...we need to get that seen to. Then...then we can talk about the rest.
[He then clears his throat in an attempt to clear his now chaotic thoughts enough to focus on the task. Something he is only partly successful at, as questions and confusion keep punching holes in his resolve.]
Can you show me the wound, please? I need to clean it before I can bandage it.
no subject
It was deeper before Lance used that spell. Is that an Alpha ability, by the way? It's almost as cool as mine and probably bas a better downside.
[ Kat's not helping, weeps. ]
no subject
Ah, no. no. His ability is not an Alpha ability. It is learned. Alpha abilities are genetic in nature....
[The bandage comes into play, his fingers deftly working it around her thin arm]
...and...if you don't mind my asking...what exactly would your Alpha ability be?
no subject
If I watch someone do something, I can repeat it exactly. Martial arts, mechanics, shooting a gun-- you name it, I can learn it. I bet I could learn magic like that.
[ Maybe. ]
The catch is I forget everything else in a month and a half, tops.
no subject
[He peeks at her briefly before looking back to finish setting the bandage. When he's done he straightens, seemingly examining her in her entirety now]
...and...you are one of the Alphas in my care?
[It feels strange even being said, but he knows the rules about time here is essentially that there are none. So what is beginning to seem the most likely is that this girl...well...she's a part of what is coming.]
What is your name?
no subject
Yeah. I'm Kat. Usually I'm the one forgetting people.
[ So she feels u, is what she's saying. ]
no subject
[And the implications of that are extremely unsettling]
i'm...I'm sorry if that is troubling for you. Certainly it means I lack all knowledge of your case and your treatment...
[Read: he's useless to her as he is at this current moment.]
...but... if you'd permit me, I'd very much like to know you now.
[He holds out his hand, offering for a shake]
I am Dr. Lee Rosen. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Kat.
no subject
Same.
[ It hasn't hit her quite yet than not knowing her means he doesn't know about the rigged photostimulator or the off-the-grid Alpha camp or what happens to Danielle. Later, when she makes a video to remember what happened today, it'll come to her. For now, she's processing what this all means for her. Namelt, if he hasn't met her yet, then he hasn't gone completely off the rails. She can trust him again.
That's... cool, and a little scary. ]
I'm kind of a huge badass, by the way.
[ Buuut she won't bring it up now. ]
no subject
I must take your word for it. Though I am sure you must be right.
[In this moment he feels torn down the center, ripped between a brand of relief and a species of fear, stitched together only by that relentless curiosity of his. In many ways it is a relief to have someone from his world here. Someone who knows the familiar names. The same conflicts. But that brings its own minefield.
He feels a knot sitting in his throat. The same as whenever the name Binghamton had been passed around and he had never wanted to look. To see the things that Marcus had wanted him to see. Now...now he's not so sure he wants to know what is coming after he gets out of his cell.
But he tries to push all of this aside for the moment. Kat is here. She is real. And while she might be from his future, she has become his present. And that is what matters right now.]
Have you given any thought to your living situation here, Kat?
no subject
[ And if she doesn't, she's gotta get on that shit fast.
Oblivious to the way he's dealing with this, she makes a fist and turns her hand over, testing out her range of movement while slightly injured. Not bad, but the kung fu's probably gonna have to wait. ]
Oh, uh... I mean, the guide says we can just live wherever, right, so I was gonna go house-hunting after this. What's the best neighborhood?
no subject
[Or maybe just don't do it ever. At all. That'd be great.]
I hope this doesn't come off as inappropriate or presumptuous, but considering I was your doctor back home, perhaps you might consider we find a mutual living arrangement?
[He's hoping that didn't sound entirely creepy. Never in his life did he think he'd be asking a girl he's never met before but who claims to have met him to move in with him]
Currently I only have a one bedroom apartment but there are empty houses available with multiple rooms.
no subject
That'd be awkward coming from anyone else. [ she says with a laugh and a smile like she's a teenager who has something over an authority figure. ] But yeah, that sounds good. I pretty much lived at the office, so it's kinda been there, done that territory.
