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!

[The questions earns a light laughter from Edgar. He shrugs in amusement.]

I've been wondering that too, actually.

[So far Connor's been the only one who's asked him that. In his experience people around here didn't really seem to care much what the 'kids' did as long they didn't cause any trouble. Who knows, maybe none of the residents had done something similar in their own youth, ignoring warnings and pushing rules as far as possible.

Well, whatever the reason was it suited Edgar just fine. He might appear young but not that young to make people feel worried.

Grinning, he turns his attention back to the coin in his hand.]

You sure? I've seen people earning money on the street with much less impressive tricks than that.

[missiondeterminant]

[Well, it's definitely not up to Connor to enforce such rules, because he neither has the authority or cares to do so, so he'll just accept that answer for now. Besides, he's still not sure exactly what Edgar even is, so maybe he's exempt from the issues that drinking alcohol would cause a teenager.

So might as well talk about the coin instead--]

Is there any point to money in this place?

[abbatis]

Not really.

[He shrugs and settles down to sit down on the bench across the table.]

Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, though. 'Favors' are the new currency around here, or so I've heard. You could always do it for free, too.

[missiondeterminant]

[Connor decides not to mention that he isn't interested in working for free anymore, because that would invite conversation he doesn't care to get into. Instead--]

I'm not sure a few coin tricks is enough to earn a favor, unless you're offering.

[abbatis]

Me?

[Edgar points at himself and let's out a laughter. As if the whole suggestion is absurd.]

Haha, I really don't think there's anything that someone like me could do for you.
