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!

Yeah, I don't think I can just carry all of this shit in my arms. A bag would be nice.

[she goes to join him, uncovering a surprising amount of those little sacks they put wine bottles in, but not much in the way of grocery bags]

[magician_king]

Well, that's awkward, but I guess it'll work.

[He says, looking from them to the shape of the cans.]

Let's pack.

[myrealname]

Yeah, we're gonna have to carry handfuls of these things.

[they'll fit maybe three cans each?]

I'm looking for fruit, vegetables, and meat. But not fish. I don't eat fish. What are you looking for?

[magician_king]

This is an apocalypse. I don't think we get preferences.

[Points out Quentin, focusing on just getting everything he can.]

[myrealname]

You really think it's that bad?

[she asks, filling her bags mostly with cans of fruit and chicken. she finds a box of teabags and figures she can tuck it under her arm]

[magician_king]

Hundred percent, yeah.

[He promises, with a grimace, loading his own up, tucking a last few cans into his pockets.]

And it's probably going to get worse.
