When: May 10th-14th

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!

Ianchus sits up again, taking a deep breath and enjoying how much cooler the air feels on the skin that was submerged before then.
"And yours?"
no subject
He tips his head back and closes his eyes briefly. Even for an artist who professes to have few attachments to the world, he can't help but feel homesick when he talks about it like this. So, he tries to add a more positive note--
"Recently, we've been conducting a vote on where the city might relocate next. With any luck, we'll arrive in a landscape less unforgiving than this one."
no subject
"Volcanic! How fascinating. But the mineral springs must be lovely, then."
Ianchus tries to imagine what it must be like to live in the shadow of something that can destroy everything at a moment's notice. Or, ah, too morbid?
"My country was almost entirely made up of islands. I'm not used to having so little water around."

"That would be amazing. I do love the ocean." He closes his eyes, imagining it. "All the seas I've seen have been beautiful. Sunlight pooled on waves, water so clear you can see schools of fish passing under a boat. Even storms, frightening as they are, have their draw, with the way lightning shatters through the dark cloud cover."
no subject
"That sounds wonderful. I've been to the beach in my country, and to a group of tropical islands known as Hawaii... but I feel like even there, it wasn't so enjoyable when we simply did the same things and spent time with the same people as at home. Here, it would undoubtedly be different... I might even find excellent opportunities for painting."
no subject
"Painting? Are you an artist?"

no subject
For all the people he's met, he hasn't met many artists before. Oh, Carrah had a bustling community of sculptors and painters, but he never really passed through those circles.
"Ah, but I imagine it would be difficult to get paint here, wouldn't it..." He thinks on the dilemma, but can't imagine an answer. An artist! "What do you enjoy painting?"
no subject
no subject
Still, he likes to hear people speaking of their passions. It's how he learns, and besides--it's quite charming.
"I'd love to see your paintings sometime," he responds with a smile.
no subject
He's sure Akira wouldn't mind a guest, at any rate, when it's someone who seems both kind and enthusiastic about art.
no subject
"That would be wonderful! I've never met an artist in person before. Or...not like this at least. Such an informal atmosphere."
