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!

[that claim nearly leads Tinya to drop her. she's heard a lot of strange things in her time in the Legion, but someone claiming to be a red blood cell? that's a first.

but she doesn't drop her until the box is in sight and as soon as she has it, Tinya grabs her back up again before any of the sprocking ogres can make it to their position. it's close, though, and she needs to phase her legs to keep an ogre from grabbing them]

You're a what?

[erythrocytes]

[ AE-3803 clutches onto the box tightly as they fly once more. ] A red blood cell! [ She shouts above the storm. ]

That's my job, that's what I do, that's what I am! [ Whoa, fingers slipping on the package! Just gotta... hold it... a little tighter... there! Secured. ] ...But I'm a red blood cell that is lost and I don't know how to get back to the body!

[unphase]

How is that possible? [she shouts above the wind]

[how does she even begin to explain the situation to someone who believes that they're a red blood cell. she's silent as they fly as she tries to figure it out] All right. Uh. The problem is, you're not going back to the body. At least not for a while.

[erythrocytes]

[ There is a long pause.

And then she looks at with all the color drained from her face: ]

............Am I going to die?

[unphase]

[she assumes that her passenger is mulling over her situation.

until she sees that look. uh-oh. that's not a good look]

...what? No! Of course you're not, you're going to be fine.

[erythrocytes]

B-but to be outside the body for too long... I definitely will! Actually, I probably should be dead right now--!

[ How is she even alive? Or maybe she isn't. Maybe she's a ghost. ]

...Although I'm grateful I'm not. [ She takes a breath at last, attempting to calm herself. ] So maybe there is something good about being here.

[unphase]

[she tries to sound reassuring] You're not going to die. You're going to be just fine.

[Hadriel magic at work. it can bring back the dead]

[encouragingly] I'm glad you're not, too. And this place can be a little strange, but it has its bright spots.
