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!

[ Again that brush to her arm in sympathy ]

Courage! Despair is only for those who can see the end. You do not yet know what the end of your story is - it may turn either way.

[she comes really close to breaking down and revealing that she thinks she's dead. she barely manages to pull herself together]

...it might. You never know. Mother could come around. Maybe.

[bythewaves]

I hope she does, Lady Tinya, for what I see is a heart bold and kind, and that is worthy of honor in any land.

[unphase]

[she manages a slightly tremulous smile]

Thank you. It's very nice of you to say that.

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles at her in return, encouraging ]

You've been nothing but kind to me lady, and the tales you describe of your fight in your own world speak well for you.

[unphase]

[her smile grows a little firmer, but she sighs a little]

I only wish I knew how the fight ended.

[bythewaves]

[ He nods, understanding ]

Tis hard to not know. We can hope still that someone from your world is drawn from later than you, and perhaps might know! But otherwise... [ Otherwise there is only the waiting, he knows ]

[unphase]

I hope so. I'd take anyone from home at this point. As long as they knew what happened. ["and what happened to me" goes unsaid]

[bythewaves]

I hope you will be fortunate, then.

[ he smiles in understanding ]

In the meantime... if any aid you need, please feel free to look for me.

[unphase]

[she smiles back]

I will. Thank you.

[bythewaves]

Ask for Maglor, or name me to any of my kinsmen, and they will aid you as they can. [ He promises ]

In this place all we have is each other.
