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!

[He just blinks at the question at first, totally unable to comprehend what she just asked. After a few seconds of stared silence, one of his long ears flicks as he struggles to come up with some sort of response here.]

Y... you. What? Like the ones inside me? What are you talking about?

[To add insult to injury about how weird everything is right now, he's got an umbrella to stop him from getting wet, but it's being held by a silvery, translucent hand coming from nowhere and floating in the air. Not the most explainable scene.]

[ She's just about to say that yes, those things back there clearly must be bacteria! ] Well--

[erythrocytes]

[ But then she sees the umbrella. And how his hand is not holding it up but a wisp of air. ]

3/3

[erythrocytes]

[ Her jaw drops, and if either of them were hoping to remain quite so that their positions aren't given away, they're out of luck. ]

WHAT IS THAT?! [ She points, her arm bobbing up and down like a spring at the seemingly floating umbrella. ]

[pocketspa]

[He cringes at the noise, his ears tilting down to try and block some of it. While he doesn't move, or care about being found, he sure does just watch her like she's the total alien here.]

It's magic? Duh. Jeez, you're loud.

[Seriously, he's never met someone this skittish in his life.]

What's your problem? It's not hurting you.
