Intro Log: Please Remove Metal From Luggage

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for August
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: August 10th-13th
Warnings: New folks, metal falling apart, fun stuff


As you wake up on the sand of the colosseum, gazing up at cloudy gray skies, you might wonder what you're doing here. Where are you? How did you get here? You'll figure it all out soon enough, so try to clamp down on that rising panic, or you just might end up in a dangerous situation.

Because, of course, you're not the only thing that arrived. The Door has also chosen to pull in some rust monsters. These monsters may look a bit like insects, but they're much larger, with a rather vicious bite. You can fight them, but be careful - anything metal that touches them instantly begins to corrode. Your sword, a bullet from your gun, even your robot friend. Might want to keep a little distance.

And that's not all. Scattered across the ground of the colosseum can be found a variety of unique and delightful musical instruments. If you're the musical sort, maybe you can figure out how to play one - or maybe you already know. Hopefully no rust monster has wandered too close to the one you want to try, or you might find that it's missing important metal bits.

Once you've found a way to express the song in your heart, feel free to leave whatever bit of safety you've found. 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 August 10th-13th.
► 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!

the colosseum

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-08-12 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a trip to the island where the colosseum now is, but after hearing that people were arriving again, it's a no brainer. It has been fairly quiet in the grand scheme of things with arrivals. Alpha was the last, something which Tucker conveniently forgot to mention. Still, in the off chance that anyone they do know, good or bad, does show up, Carolina does want to be there.

They're different this time, and Carolina has already lost one knife to them. Considering it is a leftover from her own arrival, she's not going to cry over it, but she keeps her own weapons holstered. No need to lose though.

Whether he needs help is debatable. He's making enough noise to attract her attention. They don't seem overly intelligent, charging as they will with no real thought to it. It's her own foot that kicks out, sending one flying.]


They're not big on the whole listening thing.
deviledlegs: (hey honey i got money)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-08-13 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
I noticed!

[He says as he sends the third into a colosseum wall with a wiry spin. Only after both his feet have once more touched earth and he breathes a cool sigh of relief does he turn on Carolina herself. Eyes aglow, he rushes her even faster than the rust monsters had, only to swoon upon reaching her.]

But fear not! I would never ignore your sonorous voice!
uptightness: (pb } huff)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-08-13 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He seems to be doing a well enough job on his own. It's hit and miss with people here. Carolina knows how confusing it can be, and that some hit the dirt running faster than others.

What she doesn't expect is that.

It's a look that she shoots his way, one that could kill on the spot, as she steps back and to the side. Okay. Maybe she should have left him to the creatures...]


Right. I don't think so, buddy.
deviledlegs: (i'll be your hot chocolate today)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-08-18 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Her look does nothing to quell Sanji's rising giddiness. It slides right off him, as does her expert dodge.]

Ah~ [He croons as he twirls to face her again.] And so graceful too! Pardon my rudeness! I was so blinded by the beauty of your stunning kick, like an elegant dancer's, that I forgot to introduce myself!

[First, he straightens out, dusts himself off. Then, he bows - a soft motion of polite nobility.]

Sanji, first rate cook of the sea, at your service.
uptightness: (pb } side)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-08-18 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Possibly a little smoother than Tucker, but not by much, and certainly not enough to actually get any sort of a positive reaction out of Carolina. Dancer isn't something she's been referred to before, although she had visited clubs pre-Freelancer.]

I'd suggest getting over your blindness quickly, or you're going to end up some monster's lunch.

[It is a slightly quizzical look, as she can't say that she would have pegged him as a cook, of any rate, or of any place. Then again, she knows that saying something doesn't make it so. Or looks are deceiving. She's not sure where she would put her money.]

Carolina, and you might want to watch it. This area is a hot zone for these things.
deviledlegs: (you got fine written all over you)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-08-18 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Love may be blind, but I assure you, I'm not!

[He couldn't ogle the ladies if he was! A cruel fate indeed.]

Not one of these shitty fleas will touch your fair skin as long as I'm here, Miss Carolina!
uptightness: (pb } side)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-08-18 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He also can't ogle the ladies if he has no eyes... Either his charms work better where he is from, the ladies have a higher tolerance where he is from, or he can magically grow them back? The latter has only entered her realm of thinking since she's come here and seen it.]

They wouldn't anyway. I'm a trained soldier. Killing is what I do.

[Although she just doesn't kill without thinking, and even tries not to kill when she doesn't have to. She will defend herself, but she doesn't just blindly follow orders anymore.

Yet she is questioning that at the moment.]


I take it you've just arrived, or did you decide to go take on some creatures for shits and giggles?
deviledlegs: (we stripped and i poked her)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-08-19 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[He reels back as if struck, a palm covering his face, but rather than blood, those are definitely hearts in his eyes.]

A femme fatale! I should have known, the way you stopped my heart the moment our eyes met! I may have just arrived, it's true, but I feel as if I've been searching for you my whole life! That cold stare only fuels my fire!

[Speaking of which... He still hasn't found his lighter. Shit, with the beautiful soldier's arrival, he'd forgotten all about it.]
uptightness: (face } purse)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-08-19 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. My lord.

She gives him a sideways look. A part of her wonders if he's been hit on the head or suffered some injury on arrival, but another part of her thinks that nope, this is him. That cold stare might end up being the last thing that he sees if he keeps that up.

Thankfully he's staying out of her personal space.]


I suggest you keep searching and find something else to fuel your fire. There some reason you're sticking around here, or you just like to bother any female that crosses your path?
deviledlegs: (i'll eat my way to your heart)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-08-23 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, anything you ask!

[She tells him to get the fuck away from her, and he acts like she's entrusted him with conquering a country in her name. He twirls happily over to where he'd dropped his lighter.]

Those ugly blood-suckers made me drop my precious lighter. I was about to snatch it up, but your stunning figure distracted me from my meager task. As a man, I could never ignore a lady!
uptightness: (face } level)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-08-25 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[It is... Not exactly the reaction that she expects, let alone the enthusiasm that he gives it with. It... maybe actually be easier than she thought to send him on his way? Still, does she glance his way, wondering what it is that is so important.

A lighter.

She's one of her own, although it's not hers. No, it had belonged to someone important to her, someone that she had lost. Her own fault.

An eye roll though.]


Idiocy like that is going to get you hurt around the Coliseum area.
deviledlegs: (jam don't shake like that)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-08-26 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for worrying about me, but I could never forgive myself if you lost sleep over my perilous predicament! I already promised I wouldn't let even one of those things touch you; there's no way I could let myself get hurt with so much on the line.

[He crouches and picks up the fallen lighter, dusting it off as he inspects the golden exterior. Still crouching, he turns to show it to her with a triumphant smile.]

Found it!
uptightness: (face } level)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-08-26 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Losing sleep over this is not something that is going to happen. Ever. Whether he purposefully misrepresents her words or it just comes naturally to him, Carolina doesn't know.

Once, he might have been canon fodder in her attempt to find anyone else that she knows, but she has changed.]


Then I suggest you get moving, before anything else comes after you. Further away you get, the less likely the monsters are to bother you.

[And, because she is making an effort to be helpful.]

Anyone told you about this place?

[Or did they all get annoyed and leave him be...]
deviledlegs: (you must be as dope as weed)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-08-28 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, it's as natural to him as breathing.

Sanji stands again, dusting off his dark pants before dropping his lighter into his pocket. He turns to offer the woman a passive but knowing tilt of his head.
]

And what about you, Miss Carolina? You don't seem worried about yourself at all. Is this your home turf then?
uptightness: (face } closer)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-08-29 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Not- It's just Carolina.

[No miss. At all. Ever.

As for home turf... She is a soldier, that much is true. Has trained day and night to be the best, or she had, once upon a time.

In a way, it is though. Since the islands formed out of the desert, their residence has been on the island with the monsters. Those that aren't destroyed here, roam about.]


I can handle most things this place has.
deviledlegs: (my zipper is falling for you)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-08-31 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He closes his eyes, chuckling lightly. The moment is a sweet one for all of two seconds before he erupts into theatrics again.]

I knew it! Beautiful, graceful, and powerful! Truly a diamond among glittering jewels!

Then, Miss Carolina! [Just Carolina? What's just Carolina?] If you must insist on not being escorted, please escort me!
uptightness: (face } purse)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-01 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[And, nope.

She's done.

With a glance to make certain that there are no more creatures in the immediate area, Carolina glances back to him for a second.]


Which direction are you heading in?

[Because she is going to go the opposite.]
deviledlegs: (i last longer than a white crayon)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-09-02 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
The nearest harbor, if you would honor me so kindly!

[So. Excited.

Also oblivious.
]
uptightness: (pb } excuse me?)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-02 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

You do realize you can't sail away from these islands, right, and just return to where you were?

[And, not really exactly harbours here either... They've come a way since the islands first appearance, although those with magical abilities that can move them or change their shapes so they can fly or swim have it easier. Rest of them just have to walk and find a boat.]
deviledlegs: (is your face mcdonalds?)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-09-05 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji's incorrigible grin withers some, and his one visible brow furrows in question.]

...Why not?
uptightness: (pb } stare)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-06 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[So he was going to do just that...]

The ships here are basic, at best, and where exactly are you going to go? This used to be a desert, until one day the desert changed in to these islands.
deviledlegs: (i can make your hips stir)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-09-10 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji is utterly and completely thrown by this answer. If there are ships and deep enough water, then what the shit is wrong with sailing back to his friends?]

Whatever it used to be, it's sea now. As long as the boat will hold together, I don't care how basic it is. As tempting as it is to honeymoon on this mysterious, little island, I have somewhere I need to be.
uptightness: (pb } stare)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-10 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[While there is a part of her that wants to see just how far he will get...]

You do realize you're not in the same place you were before arriving here- the same planet? Maybe not even the same reality or plane of existence. Whatever you want to call it.
deviledlegs: (big breasted bed thrasher)

[personal profile] deviledlegs 2018-09-13 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't follow her explanation completely. It's clear in his narrowed eye, in the twitch of his lip, that he can't reconcile his former circumstances with his current ones. Whether it makes sense or not, however, he can't for the life of him fathom why she would feel the need to lie to him.]

This isn't the Grand Line. It's not on one of the four other oceans either.

[It's not a question, but he's searching for clarification in her expression anyway.]
uptightness: (pb } pins side)

[personal profile] uptightness 2018-09-14 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I... have no idea what the Grand Line is, or what four other oceans you're referring to.

[There are five oceans on earth, but she's not familiar with the Grand Line.]

I'm from a place where we travel through space to other planets.
