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!

► This log covers May 10th-14th.

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]

[ 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]

[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]

[ 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]

[she's new to the concept of other worlds]

Who's gonna teach me? You?

[neither has she]

[disequilibrium]

[ 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]

I guess I'll have to ask around.

[time for a shift in subject?]

So, where're you from?

[disequilibrium]

[ A deceptively difficult question. There’s a noticeable pause as he considers the simplest answer. ]

Chandrila, originally. It's among the core worlds.

[myrealname]

[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.
