Intro Log: Off my chest

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for April.
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: April 10th-13th
Warnings: Newbies, explosions, and things that are definitely treasure chests and not evil monsters out to get you.

Welcome to your first day in Hadriel! Enjoy your surroundings, meet your fellow travelers, and be sure to start exploring so you can collect as much loot as possible!

On the ground around you may notice bang snaps, scattered haphazardly. Try not to step on any of them, or you might burn your feet! Feel free to gather them up and use these baby fireworks however you see fit; there are dozens strewn about on the ground. Popping them will emit clouds of smoke of various colors, and... well, not much else.

Is there anything else lurking around? Glad you asked! If you look around, you may find a few innocent-looking treasure chests. Which you know, normally means free loot- except, in Hadriel, nothing is quite the way it's advertised of course and the chests are actually dangerous mimics. Mimics- often disguised as treasure chests- are monsters with surprisingly quick movements and gaping maws filled with teeth. They exist to try and fool an unlucky traveler into thinking they've gotten something good... only to lunge at them in their moment of triumph and prove that life is actually terrible and nothing comes for free.

Good luck!

Once you've managed your daring escape from the colosseum, feel free to go explore the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

DW you're supposed to be better than LJ D:

[fadeling]

I won't. [Probably. It depends.

But he does look confused for a moment.]

Cecily?

it let us down...

[sparkler]

The Inquisitor.

[He looks worried for a moment. He knows that some people have lost memories when leaving and coming back, but Cole was never here before.]

Don't you remember?

My whole world has been rocked ;3;

[fadeling]

Oh. Yes. I met her. Inquisitor but not Inquisitor. Strange and similar all at once. Copies of copies of people. [He still doesn't understand.]

Her name was Morenna. Is Morenna. She was an elf.

[sparkler]

Ah. Interesting. You're... from another timeline, perhaps?

[Dorian's read about that sort of thing, or he did back at home. And after being here, he has no choice but to believe it's possible. Still, it's strange to have to face it.]

Then I suppose you'll have to meet Cecily.

[fadeling]

I did. She was kind, but sad, I think. I don't know what to say.

[sparkler]

You can stay with us, and you'll soon get to know her. She is a good person, Cole.

[fadeling]

Yes. I believe that. She was more kind than cutting.

Thank you.

[sparkler]

You're quite welcome.

[He holds out a hand, though he doesn't actually expect Cole to take it.]

Here. Let me show you where home is for now.

WOW SORRY I THOUGHT I ANSWERED THIS ALREADY

[fadeling]

It's not home. Not really. [It's hard to describe, but this doesn't feel the right way.]

IT'S ALL GOOD you're totally fine

[sparkler]

No. It's not. It'll never quite be, but I'm afraid it's the best we can do.

<33 ;o;

[fadeling]

[He knows that it's true, but it still doesn't quite help.]

Yes. I can help, too. If I need to.

<333!!

[sparkler]

We would be glad of your help, of course.

[He gestures.]

This way. Will you come?

Re: <333!!

[fadeling]

[He pauses for a moment, then nods.]

Yes. I can help more and better if I have a place.

[sparkler]

Excellent.

[He smiles at Cole, and begins to lead him back to the house they share.]
