Intro Log: Puddle Jumpers

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for September
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: September 10th-13th
Warnings: Fresh meat, lots of rain and angry ogres

If the rain on your face isn't enough to wake you up in the colosseum, maybe the thundering footsteps and- well, thunder- is. The first thing that you may notice is that it's incredibly wet around here, with winds that could knock you over if you aren't careful and thunder that brings with it a torrent of constant rainfall.

That's all fine though, because the gods saw fit to help you out on your way in and now everyone will be waking up wearing a rain coat! These coats are a little odd, and some of them are downright silly, but we trust that you'll make do. Of course, a few of the raincoats have additional sleeves, neck holes, and entirely too many buttons as well- but hey, it's the best we could do.

Wait, what was that about thundering footsteps? Oh right, as you're navigating your new fashion choices, there are some monsters afoot who will want nothing more than to grind you into a pulp and eat you- well, if you're organic, that is. If you're not organic, then they still want to grind you to a pulp, but maybe not so much the eating part.

Ogres are from many fantasy stories, but these in particular are from the Dragon Age series. With incredible strength and stamina and massive horns, fangs, and a bloodlust for violence, these monsters won't stop until everyone around them is a blood smear on the ground. They're also not too happy about this rainfall either, so be careful not to slip in the puddles as you run away from them!

Once you've splashed around a bit, feel free to run off into the stormy abyss of our islands. 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!

["Pretty much"? Kyna laughs, mostly from pure relief, then throws her arms around him and squeezes as tight as she can.]

Oh my god, you're such an asshole.

[requiemshark]

[ Ephemera grunts, holding the cigarette up so she won't get hit by the ashes. ]

Ow. Watch the ribs.

[ It's said gently, though, and Ephemera loops an arm around her waist without hesitation. ]

I take it you missed me.

[evocation]

Nope. It was like a vacation.

[She gives him another tight squeeze and then finally lets go.]

Are you okay?

[requiemshark]

[ Ephemera grins a little and messes up her hair with his free hand. Just because he can. ]

Yeah. Probably. It's been a really long day.

[ He pauses. Exhales slowly. ]

Yeah, uh. Wasn't so good, back home. Wasn't so good for Drake when I was gone, either.

[evocation]

[She swats at his hand good-naturedly, but then sobers at his question.]

Yeah. Wash kind of... filled me in. I'm sorry.

[requiemshark]

[ Ephemera exhales slowly. ]

Yeah. That happened.

[ Not much else to say about it, really. ]

You been all right? Apparently I missed some crazy shit.
