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!

► This log covers September 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!

Introduction

[Pratt is not wearing a dumb raincoat. He is, however, wearing an absolutely atrocious shirt, because his deputy outfit is wet and he's letting it dry before it starts to mildew.

He turns around to snarl something nasty, gripping the sledgehammer in his hands tightly. But he bites it down. Years of cop training means he can't feel good about telling a kid to fuck off and mind her own business.
]

The stores here didn't cooperate.

[That's an understatement. The rest of his wardrobe is just as bad.]

[Okay, she needs a minute to calm down. Ruby's not going to get on the poor guy's case for wearing a colorful top. It's rude to stare and it's even ruder to laugh.]

They didn't have anything better in stock? That's a bummer.

[She offers Pratt a sheepish smile.]

Flamingos are kinda cool.
theweakhavepurpose: (Monologue)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-12 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
No, they're very much not. I look like I belong in Miami Vice.

[He cringes, wow that's a dated reference.]

Nevermind. Why are you out in the rain anyway?
redlikerose: (pic#12534866)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-12 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She let's out a weak laughter it seems more forced, if anything.]

I have no idea what's happening! My dog just ran out on me and then I chased him all the way here. Maybe the storm scared him.

[With that she takes in a deep sigh.]

Anyways I bumped into a few people and then I met you. What's your name buddy?
theweakhavepurpose: (Come closer)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-12 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Deputy Pratt.

[He narrows his eyes, he's never been called buddy in his life, let alone by a teenager.]

You followed your dog all the way here? He okay?

[Oh now he's all concerned.]
redlikerose: (pic#12534860)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-12 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you Deputy. I'm Ruby!

[She shoots him an energetic highfive. At the mention of her dog her smile dims a bit.]

I kinda did, yeah. [Ruby fiddles around with her feet nervously. ]

Sure hope so. Zwei's a tough dog so I think he'll be fine.
theweakhavepurpose: (Shotgun)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-12 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow okay. Apparently it's high-five time. He returns it far less enthusiastically. Nothing about being here makes him ever wanna be excited for anything.]

Well it's an island, so he can't get too far. What's he look like?

[Firefighters get cats out of trees, police officers look for lost dogs. He's got this.]
redlikerose: (pic#12534858)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-12 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
He's got black and white fur and he's kinda small.

[Ruby makes some hand gestures so that Deputy knows the approximate size.]

It's like this, see? I could...draw a picture for you.

[That's probably a bad idea.]
theweakhavepurpose: (Seen too much)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-13 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Having a picture on your phone would be more helpful.

Assuming you know what a phone is.

Please know what a phone is so I don't sound like a crazy person.
redlikerose: (pic#12534860)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-13 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I know what a phone is and I don't think you sound crazy.

[She smiles sheepilshly and brings out her phone. Looks like a futuristic version of a standard smartphone!!

Anyways, Ruby shows Deputy an image on it. Her dog ]


Okay, here! Take a good look at it!
theweakhavepurpose: (Feeding time)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-14 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh good. At least there'll be one person who doesn't think he's insane.]

Cute. Like a corgi.

You'd be surprised how many people here have never heard of a phone. I'm dreading the day I have to explain the internet.

[Alright, it's pupper finding time.]

Let's go take a look, there's some stores nearby. If he's smart he's in there nice and dry and snarfing down snacks.
redlikerose: (pic#12534862)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-15 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!!! That sounds like a good start.

[ Ruby nods her head twice in approval. ]

How do people buy things here? Is there money? These seem like stupid questions but I really don't know what this place is.

[ She doesn't want to do something stupid just because she's ignorant. Deputy seems knowledgable about these parts though.]
theweakhavepurpose: (Passive)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-15 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
There doesn't seem to be any money. Everyone just takes what they need.

[Shoplifting all over the place. It makes him twitch.]

And all the food is... weird. And wrong. And canned.
redlikerose: (pic#12534866)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-17 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
That...doesn't sound like the best way to do things. [ She shakes her head agreeing that it's all poorly handled. ]

Oh no!! Guess I won't be having junk food for a while. [ Ruby's got good priorities. ]

Do you like sweets by any chance?
theweakhavepurpose: (Everything goes to hell)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-18 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I never thought I'd miss Dorito's so much.

Uh.. I guess so? Haven't had any in a while. Why?
redlikerose: (pic#12534869)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-18 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ruby's tearing up in a dramatic way over that comment. ]

Oh my gosh. Doritos are great. I miss them too!!

[ Yeah, she likes you already Deputy. ]

There isn't a good reason for these questions. I'm just curious?
theweakhavepurpose: (Everything's Fine)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-19 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Cool Ranch or Nacho?

[Answer wisely or they can't be friends. ]

Sweets are fine I guess. There used to be a candy store with hundreds of flavors of salt water taffy back home. It closed though.

[Because the owners were murdered by a cult.]
redlikerose: (pic#12534858)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-19 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Nacho. Always nacho.

[Ruby closes her eyes and nods to herself. Yes, it has to be nacho. There's no other way. ]

Aw damn, what a shame. Could have made a lot of business like that. Kids like me would pay anything for good candy.

[That's unfortunate...those murderers...! ]
theweakhavepurpose: (Before the Collapse)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-19 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Nacho? And then your fingers are orange and it gets all over your clothes.

[WRONG ANSWER.]

There's not much in the way of candy here, sorry to disappoint you further.
redlikerose: (pic#12534858)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-20 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's a small price to pay to eat..SOMETHING DELICIOUS!

[Ruby puts her arms to her chest and stands proudly. Nacho lover all the way.]

It's okay. We can always have food that might be weird? That's an option isn't it?

[Definitely. ]
theweakhavepurpose: (They're weak now)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-22 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
To be fair, some of the weird food may actually be candy. I haven't tried it all.

I did bite into something that I thought was a pear and it tasted like a grapefruit though. So who knows with this place.
redlikerose: (pic#12542405)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-23 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That's just asking for a disaster. I'm just saying.

[Never a dull moment in hadriel. Ruby's never going to know what to expect down here. ]

Hearing that doesn't fill me with much hope!! We'll have to make do somehow. I suppose.
theweakhavepurpose: (Considering)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-23 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Believe me I know. I'm afraid of picking up an apple and having it taste like fish or something.

I could lie to you and say it's all great, but I'm a terrible liar and I think you'd notice.
redlikerose: (pic#12534860)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-23 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
That's leaving me with a nasty mental image. I hope you know that.

[Ruby's eyes narrow and she frowns.]

Hm, you're right. I think I'd notice that something's up. I mean, I can be stupid but I'm not that stupid!!!
theweakhavepurpose: (Don't trust me)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2018-09-24 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm the one who might be eating fish apples, so who's the real victim here?

[He's almost forgotten at this point that they're looking for a dog. Back to the hunt!]

We'll see what kind of nasty snacks your dog found. Maybe there's donut flavored dog bones or something.
