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!


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!

Don't you hate it when that happens?

[Jane likely can't help him much where information is concerned. she's read the newbie guide and claimed an apartment, but that's about it]

Yeah, I am. Are you?
disequilibrium: (you could never live out in the open)

sorry for the delay!

[ Not a surprising answer. It seems neither of them has yet made much effort to blend in. ]

Yes.

[ Confirmation does make the woman’s uninjured state more interesting, given the conditions in the arena he woke to. Reaching out with the Force, however, reveals nothing exceptional. Perhaps it was merely luck then. Or one of the many fools who fancy themselves heroes stepped in to assist. ]

When you arrived, did you encounter the beasts?
myrealname: (I like to keep you guessing)

it's okay! :)

[Jane has always stood out, mostly for her beauty.

she got lucky and had a local come to her rescue. she looks him over to see if he's been injured]


Of course I did. Someone helped me get out of there in one piece. You?
disequilibrium: (i want to invade my thoughts)

[personal profile] disequilibrium 2018-05-21 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Outside of injuries received prior to arriving, such as the scar which neatly bisects one cheek, he’s unharmed. ]

Those creatures were no threat to me.

[ It’s spoken as a simple fact, direct and without bluster. ]
myrealname: (make her bring that famous face)

[personal profile] myrealname 2018-05-22 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[she's taken note of the scar and figures there's a story behind it. but it's not one she's going to ask for. everyone needs their secrets]

Lucky. I'm more used to fending off drunken patrons, not flying monkeys out of a kids' movie.

[Jane knows nothing about fighting. she doesn't really want to know]
disequilibrium: (leaving the ones we've crossed)

[personal profile] disequilibrium 2018-05-23 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ That references whooshes straight over his head. ]

You should consider expanding your skill set. The latter seems a more likely phenomenon.

[ Then again, he hasn’t been to the Speakeasy yet. ]
myrealname: (but I'd be love and sweetness)

[personal profile] myrealname 2018-05-23 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[she's new to the concept of other worlds]

Who's gonna teach me? You?

[neither has she]
disequilibrium: (got your chin held high)

[personal profile] disequilibrium 2018-05-29 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, no. ]

Someone here likely has the time and patience for such a task.

[ His own interest in teaching is... limited. Provoked only by those capable of truly learning the ways of the Force. ]
myrealname: (you pretend you're anything)

[personal profile] myrealname 2018-05-30 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'll have to ask around.

[time for a shift in subject?]

So, where're you from?
disequilibrium: (it never stops to ponder what it sees)

[personal profile] disequilibrium 2018-05-30 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A deceptively difficult question. There’s a noticeable pause as he considers the simplest answer. ]

Chandrila, originally. It's among the core worlds.
myrealname: (I like to keep you guessing)

[personal profile] myrealname 2018-05-30 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[don't worry, she's not going to press him about it]

Yeah? What's it like? I've never been to another planet before, this one's my first.
