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!

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]

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]

You helped me. It's a start.

[she's getting that general idea, yes]

[theweakhavepurpose]

Protect and serve.

[He manages a wry smile. Cop training is hard to shake off.]

[unphase]

And you've done both. Thank you.

<many things have changed in the thousand years between them. that phrase hasn't]

[theweakhavepurpose]

[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]

[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]
