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!

These shops sound like my next stop then. [His nostrils flare with hot air as he huffs, finally setting the empty plate down in the sink with the others.] I have a menu to plan, after all.
no subject
Oh, hey, I've got like nothing but free time anymore, so if you need help lookin' for stuff, hit me up. You thinking of setting up shop in here?
no subject
Thinking of heading out, actually.
[His own captain may not be here, but an ally captain is. The idea of doing anything but follow that man to sea is unfathomable. He doesn't even know the full reason they're setting out. He doesn't care.]
You're offering to show me around the shops?
no subject
Oh, sure, I can do that. There's not a whole lot else going on right now, wouldn't be a big deal at all.
no subject
Give me an hour to wash these dishes and store the food. [It's not a request so much as a demand. Already, he's turning on his heel to start running water.] Then you're taking me to a damn market.
no subject
Sure, I can... yeah. Would you uh, like any help with that? Or are you good?
no subject
You're drying.
[Okay, so some of it is newbie stress. That frustrated frown? That's newbie stress. But now that Peter's offered his help once, he's forever been branded as a wonderfully convenient assistant/pack mule. In the future when Sanji demands Peter carry his shit, he will be smiling smugly as he does it.]
no subject
That- sure, yeah, I can do that.
[In all fairness, Peter would make an excellent pack mule, it's true. He can carry everything Sanji throws at him.]
Y'know, it wouldn't kill you to maybe ask nicely? Maybe?
no subject
[That one almost manages to carry a sense of humor. Sanji snorts as he scrapes crust off an old hunk of soap.]
...What's your name?
no subject
[He's joking, but honestly he wouldn't be too surprised if this guy's mouth hasn't already gotten him into some shit at some point.]
Oh, um. Peter. Peter Parker. Guess I could have introduced myself sooner, huh.
no subject
[Sanji smirks dangerously into the sink.]
If I die, it's going to be for not following orders.
no subject
...I honestly can't tell if that was a threat, or if you're complaining about your boss or something.
no subject
I'm a pirate, a pretty notorious one at that. We're not exactly an honorable sort. As thanks for your help, I just thought I'd generously warn you ahead of time that I don't plan to pay you back for any of this.
[Sanji holds out the first of many scrubbed dishes.]
Better get drying.
no subject
So you're a master chef and a pirate.
[The chef thing he can totally believe, but the pirate thing? Dude doesn't really look like much of a pirate. Not that Peter's ever met a real life pirate before, but hey.]
I guess I appreciate the heads up, but I wasn't expecting to be paid back. I just wanted to help out if I could, you know? Getting used to this place can be pretty rough.
no subject
[It's okay. Magical friendship pirates are better than real life pirates anyway.
Sanji shakes his head as he passes another dish.]
Then we both win! Ain't it grand?
no subject
Yeah, grand, whatever. I mean, you could still say 'thanks', but, y'know, this is good too.
no subject
[Well, okay, if Sanji were being honest, Peter has already earned it. He is and has been helping out for some small time now. Sanji is feeling a great deal more stubborn than honest right now though. He digs in his heels, fully prepared for war (as any good cook is when faced with a sink full of dirty dishes).]
no subject
[Cue one more eye roll, but he really doesn't mind all this too much. This Sanji dude is just weirdly interesting, if not a little rude, and this is still the best entertainment Peter's had in a while.]
