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!

"Years," Ianchus repeats. It's not that he's afraid of staying here for that long, it's the concept of being in any one place for that long.

He pushes that out of his mind, running over the Gods.

"Most of those emotions don't seem pleasant." Maybe he could appreciate Fear, but certainly not Rage. Nor Confusion. And he's never really felt tranquil, at least not without the help of some substance.

"Apparently you can talk to them and make requests of them if you wish. Like if you need something the city or its people can't provide."

At least Avisheh is more inclined to roll with the punches. She definitely would miss home if she stayed here for years, and fully intends to return and finish her plot against the Separator, but she's sure that will work itself out. And with a Nature of Disorder, she thrives in chaos regardless.

"Well, if you're gonna be here for years, Ianchus, you should probably get some clothes to wear."

[vocarrah]

An impish smirk pulls at his lips, and Ianchus expertly slides his knee to cross his legs under the towel while keeping himself covered, and then rests his elbow on his knee and his chin in his hand.

"I don't know, this is quite comfortable, considering how warm this place is. Perhaps I'll allow myself some freedom."

[unnature]

Avisheh snickers breathily.

"I don't know if the City Guard will arrest anyone for public indecency. Maybe you'll get off scot-free even if you decided to forego the towel. You could be the town nudist."

And here she is in all black, suffering the heat! But she's far less likely to want to risk brushing the wrong side of the law so soon after arriving. At least not so brazenly. Maybe later, and more subtly. If there are laws to be had.

"A fair proposition. I could submit it in writing and everything, so that nobody may take my spot.

But I suppose, before that all goes through, I should find something." Ianchus absolutely does not sound like he wants to, though he does glance at Avisheh's clothes.

"I imagine you'd probably like something lighter, too?"

[unnature]

"Well, if we're going to be here a while, we might as well stock up on clothes regardless," she says, shrugging. "I prefer black, though."

It's the common fashion of the Nexus to wear monochromatic dress with the occasional accent color, but Avisheh doesn't wear more white than she has to. At least she's wearing shorts. Only most of her legs aren't flesh, so that does her only a little good.
