Intro Log: Please Remove Metal From Luggage

[hadrielmods]

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!

Fun! Oh, I wish. These people seem allergic to it sometimes, until the false gods step in and liven things up a little. The one called Love, that pretends the least to be human, also seems to have the best taste in keeping things fun.

[Much as she hates all of their captors, at least one of them is honest about what it is - or rather, what it isn't. She normally wouldn't think of a creature that calls itself Love as anything she ought to particularly favor, for despite her own emotional attachments, none of the people she cares about are here. But it seems to enjoy getting these people to indulge a little more than they're normally comfortable doing, and she's all too happy to participate.]

Other than that... The Speakeasy, I suppose, has drinks and music and games. Easy to make your own party there if you'd like.

[ Katara slowly nods her head. Okay then. She understood. ]

So, there are gods that are named after emotions. That's...interesting. I'll definitely remember it.

[ Note to self: avoid rage, grief or any other negative emotion type of god. That would be bad news for her. ]

The Speakeasy sounds like a fun time. Shame that it's the only non god influenced place that's made for fun and entertainment.

[ Is this place really filled with constant misery or something. Boy, she's in for a ride... ]

Just so long as you also remember that they're not really gods. Call them that if you have to, I suppose, but it only helps them deceive everyone else. There are real gods in this multiverse. These are not them.

[Something she seemingly feels strongly about - when in actuality, she doesn't really care. It just seems like letting their kidnappers get away with that kind of respect doesn't help her any, when the people here turning against them is, if not helpful, then at least entertaining.]

And if it's entertainment you want, then make your own. That's what I do. The Speakeasy is a good option but it doesn't have to be the only one just because it's organized.
