Intro Log: Fly, My Pretties!

[hadrielmods]

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!

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!

[he's not dreaming, but he's bound to be disappointed. Jane is about as far from his wife as a woman can get. she lies, but she insists that she be told the truth, she works (or at least worked) as a stripper, pretending to desire the men she strips for and she has no desire to change jobs or suddenly start acting like a proper lady.

she swipes at some more tears and turns to face the stranger who approached her]

Yeah? How long? [and she can tell that something's bothering him, but doesn't know what] I wasn't crying. I had something in my eye.

[Even so, the resemblance is enough to blind him for the moment. He is glad to see a face like hers; it brings back good memories - memories that haven't been consumed by the Dark that is growing inside of him.]

A year and three months. [A small smile crosses his lips and his eyes sparkle with barely contained amusement.] It must be something awful. Have you thought about seeing a Healer?

[myrealname]

[she'd be flattered if she knew. she's not used to inducing good memories.

she gapes for a moment] A year and three months? No way. [she smiles back at him charmingly] A healer? Don't we have any doctors around here?
