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!

[ Welcome to even more weird time shenanigans, Taako. Who even knows how this bullshit works anymore?]

Oh, yeah, it's-- it's good. [ She smiles a little.] I mean, The Hunger really did a number on things, still-- still making sure people have a place to stay and food and stuff. If you mean all of us-- year, we're good.

Ya'll are heroes, Taako. Like, straight up, saved-the-entire-world-from-getting-its-shit-wrecked heroes.

[pocketspa]

[Heroes. He likes the sound of that.]

I mean, yeah, like-- I've seen the Hunger kick the teeth in of like three dozen planes, I know how bad it can get. I guess, uh, you guys do too though, huh.

[Okay okay moving on--]

Look, it's just... yeah. Fuck. That's fucking insane. Is it still fucking insane? Cuz right now it's still goddamn bonkers.

[sneaklizard]

Yeah, I don't think it'll ever stop being bonkers. [ She marks that with a toothy grin.]

Oh, yeah, you're also rich and stuff. [ Which she's sure he'll be happy to hear.]

[pocketspa]

[He pumps two fists into the air.]

Fuck YES! How it fuckin' SHOULD be! Alright, this world can stay, consider that shit decreed.

[As if he could do anything about it otherwise.]

Well, sounds like a wrap to me. All worked out fine. Guess there's even more to look forward to.

[sneaklizard]

[ She chuckles. Yep, she know he'd be happy about that.]

Yeah, it turned out pretty okay. There's a lot to do, though, but- guess there's no point worrying about that right now, huh?

[pocketspa]

Nnnnnot even a little.

[He gives her a little fingergun, and then spins on his heel.]

In fact, I'm goin' home to take a big ol' nap. Chaboy's been through a lot. Catch up with ya in like, two days.

[sneaklizard]

[She snorts quietly. You just have to let Taako be Taako. Do as Taako is. His sister and the rest of the guys will be happy to see him.

She gives him a wink, a grin and a fun little salute.]

See ya, bud.
