Intro Log: Fly, My Pretties!

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.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

[ Back when he was a full-time detective, Angus would never have let himself get so weepy in front of a co-worker, because being seen as a child rather than the World's Greatest Detective would have jeopardized his career and independence. He'd only really started letting himself relax at the Bureau, and his friends there had stopped being just co-workers a long time ago - hell, by this point, most of them are family. Being able to just let go like this is liberating.

He hiccups a bit, still focused on wiping off his lenses, though he hasn't actually moved. He's pretty much just sitting on Taako's legs at this point, so hopefully Taako doesn't have plans to go anywhere! ]


I don't care about the "glory shit", [ of course he actually does the fingerquotes! ] I'm just glad that there's gonna be a home to go back to. I really wasn't sure for a while there!

[ He doesn't just mean 'home' in the Faerun sense, either - this is more than that. ]

[Nah, he kinda lives on this couch now, so that's what's up. Not a bad place to be. He'll make some comment if his foot starts falling asleep.]

Pssh, you doubted us? Please. We fuckin' nailed it, natch. Never a question about that one. I mean, got dicey for a little bit there, but you were kinda rollin' with the best crew to get this sorta thing done, soooo.

[He pokes at Angus' chest.]

Besides, you were getting magic lessons from yours truly, so you were like, super prepared.
hellosirs: (actually it's a funny story...!)

[personal profile] hellosirs 2018-08-03 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Excellent, because Ango isn't planning on moving anytime soon!

He just shrugs, looking a little sheepish at the poke. ]


I mean, yeah, but I'm not really sure that's the sort of thing you can prepare for. And from what I remember, my wand had just been snapped in half? Which seems like a big stumbling point, because I'm not so great at casting spells like Lightning Bolt with my bare hands?

Yeah, yeah. Listen, you're gonna fight, and you're gonna win. That's just what it is. And that's a Taako original, just keep that in your head. It's fine.

[He'll shift a bit to get slightly more comfortable, but doesn't knock Angus off.]

And you don't even need to deal with that yet. For now we got naps in hellcity alpha to handle, y'know?
hellosirs: (OHMYGOSH)

[personal profile] hellosirs 2018-08-17 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ GOSH, WHAT A STIRRING AND INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH! It's almost as if Taako has started multiclassing and gained a couple of levels in Bard! Angus's eyes are shining, because, as always, he is a very receptive and easy audience. ]

I don't think that's what this place is called at all, but yeah, naps sound good!

[ That said, it's probably easier to nap without a child sitting on your legs. Angus shifts his weight a bit, glancing away. ]

Um... I can move, if you want to sleep?
pocketspa: (« [Relax] just take a 5 min r&r sesh)

[personal profile] pocketspa 2018-08-21 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Taako's just incredible huh?? What a good mentor you have, Angus.

Before Angus can think to move, Taako shrugs, reaching out and nudging Angus by the shoulders to just lie down. There's space, even if it requires Angus to almost be lying on him.

If you say words you'll lose this Ango, just take it without him having to explain, 'kay?]


That sounds like doing things, which I am, uh strictly against happening in my vicinity, so.

[If anyone sees him he will deny everything, but right now? Fuck it. He saved the world. He can do whatever he fucking wants.]

[ It takes a few seconds for Angus to realize what's actually being said here, but once it clicks, he gives Taako a big, crooked grin and a sagely nod. ]

I can't really argue with that logic, sir.

[ It's a good thing that Angus is so scrawny! He just barely fits between Taako and the back of the couch, although yeah, he's basically half sprawled across the elf. He props his glasses up on his forehead and folds his arms under his chin as a pillow, and it won't be long before he falls asleep with the side of his face smushed into Taako's chest.

It's been a long day... hell, a it's been a long year. They deserve some victory naps. ]

[See, now that's how you speak Taaco. Everyone on the ship had to learn it, and if anyone's gonna have to pick it up quick, it's Angus. But he's getting better every day.

That's his boy.

Taako means not to doze off, but he finds himself slipping, and someone can likely catch him on the couch not much later turned a bit on his side to curl around Angus. He's safe now. They're safe now.

They have so much ahead of them.]
