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!

[ She is with the travel cage and then suddenly she is without, and looking at the empty space between her hands leaves her with a feeling of dissatisfaction. A3-3803 looks at him with a bit of a surprised jerk, and then she breaks out of her stance with a yelp. ] Oh--.... sorry! I didn't mean to-- well, actually I did mean to handle it-- er, um!

It just looked interesting, that's all! [ She waves her hands apologetically. ] I didn't know we couldn't touch them.

Well, it is interesting, so thanks for noticing.

[He sets the cage back on his desk and leans an elbow on it like a proud father.]

You're new around here, huh?

[He says it with the air of an experienced Hadrielite who has oh-so-much to teach you, newbie.]

I'm Newt. Dr. Geiszler around the network, but Newt's fine. I run the lab with Alphys. You have any experience with the sciences? We can always use more hands on deck around here.
