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!

Unfortunately it is found in the...wild, as you put it. But I lack necessary means of harvesting it, especially if it is buried.

[ So they might have a nice stockpile for him in the shops. They obviously don't want people to starve so that's probably the case. ]

It is a blue liquid in its processed form. But normally it is...found in crystallized formations.

Blue liquid or crystals, got it.

[Sounds fancy. The science nerd in him wants to just get all up in this energon stuff and learn everything he can about it, but the teeny tiny voice in the back of his head that tells him not to do dumb things (that he ignores sometimes) thinks he should maybe just not touch it if he finds any. He already has spider powers, he doesn't need blue robo-juice powers too.]

Oh, it might be a good idea to get the word out on the network about this stuff? That way more people can help you keep an eye out for it, and they'll know not to mess with it. You get dinner, and we don't get all radioactive and start mutating into the Toxic Avenger. Everybody wins.

Ah, yes, I forget. You humans and your curiosity it is most meddlesome indeed. But far be it from me to keep whoever wants to investigate it from doing so.

[ He sounds so amused by such a sinister thing. ]

But perhaps I will...notify those here. [ If only so he can just get all the energon for himself, in case anyone else shows up he'll have the upper hand to begin with. Though he looks down at the phone, so primitive but it'll have to do. ]

This...ratty old machinery, allows for island wide communications, correct?

That didn't sound super villainy at all.

[He figures Starscream's probably joking, though. He had agreed to let the network know about the robo-juice, after all. Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy?

Tech support is probably easier from a closer vantage point. So, Spidey leaps off the building and lands in a crouch on Starscream's shoulder.]

Yeah, it's got an app for leaving posts on the network. There's an audio, video and text function. It's got a private inbox, too.

[ He's totally not joking considering he tortured a human with an energon probe, but details. He just gives Peter this appalled sort of look when he perches himself on his shoulder. ]

And what exactly do you think you're doing? [ He sounds totally offended right now as he moves to brush Peter off his shoulder. ]

Don't think because you're giving some...advice, that you can just do whatever you please. [ Aka he doesn't like being touched by humans, get off!! ]

[INCOMING BIGASS ROBOT HAND. He dodges said hand by hopping up and sticking to the side of Starscream's head, and then launches himself into the air and back up to his perch on the building. He doesn't seem too bothered by Starscream trying to brush him off, at least.]

You know what, that's fair. My bad! Also, you've got little footprints right there on your face? My bad again.

[ That just makes Starscream give an annoyed shout as he moves to watch Peter land back on the building. His eyes narrowing is obvious annoyance. Slippery one, isn't he? ]

Watch yourself, human. I do not like having my patience tested.

[ And he wipe at his face with the back of his hand. Metal grazing along metal as he does so. He's just a big ball of sunshine, isn't he? ]

Now if that's all I will continue my search...alone. [ He's just grumpy, don't mind him. ]

[Very slippery, yes. Unfortunately, one of his new favorite hobbies is probably going to be seeing how far he can push his luck with this big robot buddy. Some day, he'll probably be better at making good choices.

But not today.]

Good luck out there, buddy! I'll let you know if I find any of your juice!

[Sorry, Starscream.]
