Intro Log: Off my chest

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!

► This log covers April 10th-13th.
► Feel free to make your own logs, as well!
► All characters now arrive with phones that have network communication.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

You think I'm messing with you?

[Well, it's not totally out of the realm of possibility that Rhys could be messing with her. He offers Fiona a Look, before pulling back a little and folding his arms across his chest.]

That Vault Hunter, Lilith? She doesn't even know about Hyperion being- you know, doing the Jack thing. She's from like, years before me and you. And yeah, I know you, but you've obviously been through stuff that I haven't.

[God, this is so confusing. Rhys takes a deep breath and rubs at his eyes, trying to make sense of it all.]

...look, last thing I remember, Vallory shot a rocket at us. It was pretty traumatic.

That... wow.

Okay. Wow.

[ Words? She's looking for you. Fiona's eyes were a little softer. She's not too focused on believing that it's some kind of magical hoodoo. Maybe it's amnesia? Not the weirdest thing but - way more believable than time shenanigans. ]

You don't remember anything about Vaughn? Or Sasha? Or Gortys?

[ Yes, she will leave this vague. The tone in her voice may be a little more grave sounding, a total red herring to whatever he could think. All three were alive and well, after all. ]

Okay, so we're basically all one big clusterfuck of different times. I get to sit here knowing all the crap we had to deal with while you -

[ aren't Atlas CEO... Right. ]

- you explain it. Kinda stupid.

[It's okay, words are pretty difficult for Rhys too. He shakes his head at the questions, before hesitating and amending-]

Well... I know that they exist, obviously. Is- oh my god, is Vaughn okay?

[And Sasha and Gortys of course, but Rhys assumes that Fiona would be far less okay if anyone had managed to hurt Sasha. Plus, the sisters seem pretty adept at taking care of themselves. It's Vaughn who Rhys worries about- of course he'd worry, after dragging his poor accountant buddy into a world that he would never be able to acclimate to, where people wanted to kill him all the time.

Poor Vaughn. Rhys can picture him now, curled in the fetal position and just... you know, just like, crying, forever. Literally forever.]


-I mean though, yeah, that's kind of the long and short of it. Uh, spoiler alert: don't tell Lilith about Hyperion if you'd like me to not die a horrible death.

[Aaand we're just going to gloss right past that and:]

So what was that about Vaughn? And- you know, Sasha and Gortys. Is everyone okay?

Everyone's fine. Everything's fine.

[ Say it enough times and she'll believe it. This whole scene kind of played out completely differently in her head. She expected to punch him and somehow blame him for all of this, but she has to be mature. She has to be sensible in the midst of this entire hackjob of a scenario.

Fiona perks her brow about the mention of Lilith, because having a vault hunter against you is definitely a bad idea. ]


Oh come on. You lied to a Vault Hunter?!

[ Nope, no glossing here. Fiona is actually raising her voice because she's lowkey #1 Lilith Defense Squad already. Oops. ]

Everyone's friggin' fine but you're going to screw things up already?! She has fire powers, Rhys!

[ Mama Fiona is kinda going ham, but - deep breath.... and things will be somewhat calm. ]

Only you. If only you knew that this was typical Rhys.

What? How did I screw this up?

[While he's pleased to know that everything is fine (sort of? she didn't seem too confident on that, but he'll take a 'nobody is horribly dead' over anything else right now), Rhys can't help but to jump right on the accusation that things are his fault.]

I didn't lie to anyone! She doesn't know Jack- like.... [A pause.] -like, the person, not the phrase. As in, not-yet-aware of her massive hateboner for me or the company I work for? And I'd really like to keep if that way so she doesn't user her fire powers on me.

[It really is that simple. In theory, anyway. Rhys is pretty sure that in practice, it's going to be a whole lot messier.]

I don't know! You just have a track record of this sort of shit.

[ Okay, look she's going to be a little pissy about this whole thing. Fiona's fists clench a little when Jack's brought up, especially 'like the person'. It's easy to think he's defending him... and she'll try not to freak out. Because, what the fuck, man. ]

I mean, I don't totally blame her if she wants to set you up into flames if she finds out everything but...

[ Fiona says, thoughtfully as if she's actually being honest instead of teasing. ]

If you didn't tell the truth, you lied. Trust me, I know all about lies.

I do not have a track record of screwing things up!

[Okay, so he... sort of has a track record of screwing things up, so sue him. Rhys makes a face, folding his arms across his chest and staring off like a sullen child that's being reprimanded. The gesture causes him to miss Fiona's reaction about Handsome Jack entirely.]

And what do you mean you don't blame her? And- oh my god, I'm not lying, I'm just not giving this chick with crazy mystical powers my life story, okay?

[Ten minutes in and they're already fighting. Looks like it'll be just like old times after all.]

Sitting here and arguing about it won't make it any less true. [ Fiona says stubbornly, still unable to let Rhys get the last word in. She'll definitely make vague gestures with her hand as she talks, trying to ignore his defense. ] Just keep it to yourself and don't make her melt your brain.

[ Fiona's not going to insist that he goes ahead to tell the truth. When he was digging his own grave, the least he could do is not put himself in it so soon. ]

It'd be pretty stupid to see the only familiar face here go down like a tool.

[ She cares... kind of .]
hybridification: (IT ENTERS YOUR FACE!)

[personal profile] hybridification 2016-05-26 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not making her do anything, [he grumbles, though the fight is clearly tapering down at this point. Rhys sighs and flops down onto the threadbare couch in their living room, rubbing at his temples.

He's honestly really glad that Fiona is here, but it's been a stressful couple of days, all things considered.]


You should watch out too, you know. There's all sorts of monsters and crazy people around here. Try to con your way into something and you could wind up getting punched in the face.

I'm not about to look for a way out when everyone advises for me not to. I'm not stupid.

[ Fiona's going to clutch her fists a bit, showing a bit more emotion than her icy demeanor usually does. Her words were chosen wisely, not out of fear or disappointment, but anger. ]

And definitely not going to make matters worse. I'm just going to go back to that - that door thing. I need to see if Sasha's here too. Or going to be here. I don't know shit about how that works.

[Rhys shrugs, glancing back toward the door.]

About once every- I don't know, thirty or so day cycles is when it opens and new people and new nightmares flood in like the least fun version of a lootsplosion imaginable.

[Did he really just say lootsplosion unironically? God, Rhys has been here too long, someone help him.]

[personal profile] bluffed 2016-06-01 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Then we'll see what happens. I'm not going to sit around twiddling my thumbs - not my style.

[ At the very least she can get drunk or completely make horrible choices. But... she's not going to really let him see that. The worry she has for Sasha goes above all these weird shenanigans with time displacement. ]

If it was lootsplosion, I wouldn't have been chased by shitty chests. I'd get a gun out of it. Pick a better word.
