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!

colosseum

[ Let's get say that she had somehow been knocked out by one of the ogres to wind up unconscious on the ground once more. And just as she had woken up before in a strange new land in a strange environment in a strange new structure, she opens her eyes to....

Yet another monster. ]

AAAAAAAAAAAAH!! [ She yelps, and that. Yeah, that definitely does not help with keeping quite with the ogres nearby. ]

Nooooo, don'teatme, I don't have any oxygen with me...! [ And indeed, she only has a box that's labeled CO₂ next to her. ]

[offloaded]

...oh dear.

[ Please don't scream. Please. DiMA pulls his hand back and lifts it in a placating gesture, glancing around at the ogres to see if any of them were drawn in by it. Luckily for his busted robot butt and little Red, they're largely distracted by the people attacking them for the moment. Still, she needs to stop screaming. ]

I will not... eat you. I promise I'm trying to help, please lower your voice. Can you stand?

[erythrocytes]

[ And she will quiet promptly because the grey-colored almost-human-looking monster is telling her to lower her voice. And what will it do if she doesn't? Kill her? ] U-um, yes, uh--

[ Scrambling to stand up at attention, she looks all the more nervous in front of him. ] ...You're not going to eat me?

[offloaded]

Of course not. Why don't you gather your things and we'll make for the exit. Calmly. Don't want to draw attention from those things.

[ He thinks he's spotted the way out, or at least shelter that the beasts are ignoring in favor of fighting those trying to eliminate them. Everyone that vanished into the passage to their left hasn't come back out. ]

It'll be alright, miss.
