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!

[she sighs] I'm going to have to get used to hearing that, aren't I?

[they aren't hers, either, but she knows that agrarian worlds like Winath made much use of such things.

and she just. gapes for a moment. before recovering. because such things are unheard of in her utopian future]
That--that sounds awful. I'm so sorry.
theweakhavepurpose: (In Your Head)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-05 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's fully ready to shrug it off and look elsewhere, but she sounds like she actually means it when she offers her condolences. That's so unexpected he stands there blinking at her for a few moments while he tries to gather himself. ]

Not your fault. People are horrid, and they ruin all that they touch. Everything we build, we tear it down.

But it would be nice if just for a while... it wasn't like that. Go maybe a few days without watching someone die.
unphase: (these precious things let them break)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-05 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[she does mean it. she knows that the worlds of the UP aren't perfect, far from it, but with one notable exception, they aren't going out of their way to make life worse for anybody else]

It's that bad, even here?
theweakhavepurpose: (Default)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-06 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not here. Not many people are trying to kill each other. Just a few.

[He grimaces, thinking of Caedra.]

It's mostly animals and monsters and the place itself trying to kill us. Well so far anyway.
unphase: (and I died but I thanked him)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-07 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
And can those few be stopped?

[because she was a superhero. she can't run from this fight]

That's still a lot to deal with.
theweakhavepurpose: (Obedient)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-08 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[What he means is not by him. Also he hasn't really tried because staying out of their way is a much better option.]

This place is trying to constantly keep us on our toes. Probably to exhaust us, weaken us.
unphase: (how can the music play?)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-08 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Has anyone tried?

[you can take the girl out of the Legion, but you can't take the Legion out of the girl. if someone's a threat to the lives of others, she wants to know about it]

Probably. But we can't let them succeed.
theweakhavepurpose: (They're weak now)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-08 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Not since I've been here. But that hasn't been very long. For all I know next month it'll be sunshine and rainbows. I always expect the worst, it's how I've survived this long.

There's a guard force that I'm sure would be happy to have you.

[What with the flying and all.]
unphase: (I said I've got your mind well she said)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-09 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[she takes a look around herself] Something tells me that sunshine and rainbows are rare around here. And it's not just because the weather looks so dreary.

Really? They work to keep the people here safe?
theweakhavepurpose: (Obedient)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-11 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Hasn't happened yet, but who knows.

[He doesn't sound optimistic.]

I assume so. I haven't seen them in action. Figured they wouldn't want a Deputy from Montana poking his nose into their stuff, so I haven't seen what they're up to. And I can't offer them much, you have ... powers. That'd be incredibly helpful next time we're overrun with giant bugs.
unphase: (they say you were something in those)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-11 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You still have a background in police work. That's got to be more than most people here can say. And my powers are defensive, not offensive. I've learned to be creative with it, but it's not like I can shoot lightning or read minds or something like that.
theweakhavepurpose: (Storage)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-11 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess. If they want me to write paperwork or file citations.

[He feels a little useless when there's people around who can do so much more than a regular, boring human.]

No one should be able to read minds.

[Shudder. The cult back home was close enough and that was already horrifying.]
unphase: (do you think there's a heaven)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-12 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you could do more than that.

[and it's reflected in her voice and expression]

There's an entire moonful of people who do. They use it responsibly.

[and if they don't, there are harsh laws to punish them]
theweakhavepurpose: (The end is nigh)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-12 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Eugh.

[He is grossed out by the mere thought of an entire planet of people who can read minds. What even is responsible mind reading?]

Maybe I could. I'm not sure, been busy just trying to survive let alone help anyone else.

[All evidence to the contrary as he's running around the Colosseum trying to save people. He doesn't have a high opinion of himself. ]
unphase: (boys get discovered as winter melts)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-12 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
You helped me. It's a start.

[she's getting that general idea, yes]
theweakhavepurpose: (Copter)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-12 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Protect and serve.

[He manages a wry smile. Cop training is hard to shake off.]
unphase: (I always wanted that myself)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-12 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
And you've done both. Thank you.

<many things have changed in the thousand years between them. that phrase hasn't]
theweakhavepurpose: (Considering)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-12 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He gives her a salute. Look at that, he's not drowning in self loathing for a change! What a nice feeling.]

Thanks for the assist.

We should probably see if anyone else needs help.

[As in he needs to leave right now before he gets mushy because no one has told him he has any worth for a long, long time now.]
unphase: (in a land of scarlet ribbon)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-12 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[she gives him one in return. and, that's wonderful! let's see if we can keep that up]

It was my pleasure.

Yes, there are probably those here who can't defend themselves as well as we can.

[well, he does have worth. she believes it]
