hadriel_logs | Intro Log: Puddle Jumpers

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!

[He's just about managed to tune out the sound of the rain lashing against the windows and the howling wind. It isn't a normal thing to be hearing, even here where it seems to be raining ninety percent of the time, and he's loath to say just how much it's unsettling him on such a subconscious level that it just feels like a faint buzzing underneath every nerve.

Said buzzing ramps up to eleven immediately as the window crashes inwards, sending glass and mud and-- a someone all over the floor.]

What in the fuckin'--?! [He's up on his feet before he can get too muddy from the small person who just unceremoniously entered the living room... and there's going to be no saving that window.]

Ain't you heard of doors?

[ Despite having ran from the Silent Hill area to wherever they are now, she doesn't look as exhausted as she should be. But she does indeed look haggard and worn from the ferocious wind, her wet hair swept back wildly from the wind. ]

What? No, of course I've heard of doors....

[ Wait. ]

[ Aaaand back to flailing. ]

---BUT THERE'S NO TIME! No time at all, there's still a monster out there...!

[ Crazed, she looks throughout the room and spots a-- couch? She's going to take one glance at him before leaping over it and ducking behind it, covering her head. ] You should hide, too! Ooh, there's probably even more where they came from! They wouldn't travel alone, would they?!

[ Meanwhile, it's still pouring in through the window and she's slinging mud everywhere. Literally. ]

[Oh, it's a good thing he's used to dealing with emotionally explosive people on a daily basis, or this would be a really troublesome situation. It doesn't take long for Jet to realise that this room is going to be a lost cause until it stops raining, and he doesn't even try to stop the water coming in through the window.

The person, though, is a problem he can do something about.

He leans over the back of the couch, finding the girl crouched there. She must be new. There's no excuse for this behaviour otherwise.]

There's nothing after you. [If there was, it would have followed the sound of her hollering already.] Should be quiet if you want to keep it that way, you copy?

[ She looks at him, still very much afraid and will wide eyes. But the good news is that he does get her to quiet down, and she nods towards him, lowering her voice when she speaks next. ] R-right. Okay. Right.

[ And she seems to relax a bit in front of him as well. He looks human to her, and that's good enough to lower her guard. She is, after all, a cell that works in a human body. ] S-so now what? Is this a place that's actually safe in this city?

Plenty places safe enough.

[With the wind howling through the now ruined window and the room slowly getting soaked, it's hard to think of this as a safe place, but there are no monsters here.

Jet offers his hand to the girl, beckoning her slightly.]

Come on. Should get outta this room. Can get you dried off.
