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!

How about I show you the Speakeasy one day.

[Not that she was the type that ran around and drank, but sometimes, it was needed.]

[myrealname]

It's a date.

[Jane usually avoided partaking in large amounts of alcohol herself. it tended to loosen her tongue and for someone who's spent the last four years in a web of lies, that was to be avoided. here, she's not so sure she can keep up the identity of "Alice Ayres"]

[uptightness]

Give me a call when you've settled in, and I'll pick you up.

[Which is more casual than anything else from Carolina. It makes sense. She's been around the land more than she has, so she'd likely get to her and then get them to the Speakeasy simply enough.]

[myrealname]

Will do.

[Jane feels a little flutter of excitement in her tummy. she's looking forward to this in a way she doesn't usually look forward to doing things with women. Jane doesn't even really have female friends. but this could be different]

[uptightness]

[That nod is given as an affirmative to her words. She's certainly talked to others since coming here but she hasn't exactly made any plans to meet up. Then again, she's still working on the whole more social and less 'intense'.

Her gaze shifts back to her.]

You good then, or anything else I can help with?

[myrealname]

[and she's working through the pain of the end of a four year relationship. one that would've lasted forever if Dan had known to leave well enough alone]

I'm good. Thanks to you. We'll get that drink soon, okay?

[uptightness]

[A curt nod, which is more from her training than anything towards her.]

Carolina. If I don't answer right away, it's nothing to do with you.

[And more likely something to do with some idiots in blue armor.]
