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!

About to throw something!

[He concedes to the stranger in a fierce tone. He's not admitting defeat; he's challenging the alien appliances to run while they still can.

Sanji slams his pencil down onto the counter before looking up to see who's interrupted him.]

This shitty restaurant's not open yet. If you're hoping for handouts, you're a hundred years too early.

[abbatis]

Hah. [He laughs a little. The man really looks like steam is going to raise from his head anytime soon.]

Only hundred years? I can wait, then.

[Of course he knows that he doesn't mean it literally, that it's barely a saying but he can't help but find it amusing. If he only knew that time meant nothing to him. Besides, it looks like this man's buttons are easy to push. Let's see how far he can get with this.

Crossing his arms around his chest he sets to sit down on one of the stools in front of counter, wearing an amused grin on his face.]

[deviledlegs]

Haaa?!

[He can wait, the guy says. Only a hundred years. Sanji wants to kick him already. Instead, he kicks the counter.]

You can sit there for two hundred years if you want! You're still not getting any service until you bring a lady!

[...Well. At least now he's offering stipulations.]

[abbatis]

[Edgar flinches away from the counter when the kick comes, then leaning right back and flashing him that smug grin. Sorry Sanji that you're dealing with this shit-eating little brat.]

A lady? Ah, so that's how the payment works here. I'm not sure if women around here are willing to stoop that low.

[deviledlegs]

[Sanji snaps then. The sound is audible. It's sudden and angry and sucks the energy right out of the room.

He had given the guy his warning shot; he'd kicked the counter first. No one can say this guy doesn't deserve what's coming to him. So Sanji doesn't hesitate to leap on top of the counter and shove the heel of his shoe right into that shit-eating grin.]

Shut your shitty trap, you bastard! If I ever hear you talk about a lady like that again, I'll crush your shitty, vulgar throat!

There's only one reason to bring a woman to a restaurant, asshole. So that she can be spoiled rotten with delicious food!
