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!

Aliens? Really? That's totally nuts!!

[Ruby's talking and fighting. Seems like she's used to combat. The ogre's bad stench is starting to get to her. Hopefully they can finish quickly.]

OK! You got it. Our friend here smells really bad. Are they normally so stinky? I can think of a million things that smell better than monster guts.
unphase: (gotta get gotta get there faster than)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-14 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm an alien. Bgztlian.

[a good thing she is, because Tinya's taken out both of its eyes, slashed its throat and tried stabbing it in the heart and it's still not dead. she's thinking she may have to go with gutting it after all]

I don't know, I've never seen anything like this before. They do really stink, though.

[the creature tries reaching out blindly for her, but its hands pass through her as though nothing was there]
redlikerose: (pic#12534858)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-15 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
You are?

[ Ruby's jaw drops in surprise. Wow it's so surreal she can't hide her shock. The ogre needs a little more spanking. She's been impressed with Tinya's fighting style so far. ]

That's amazing. I've never met an alien before and I'm sorry if I'm awkward.
unphase: (he said you're really an ugly girl)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-15 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, from the 30th century.

[yes, the ogre does need a little more spanking. which is why she calls out] You might want to back up a few steps! [because she's going in to gut the thing and it's going to be messy]

No, you've been fine so far. Don't worry about it.

[and with that, she unphases, stabs the ogre on one side of its stomach and drags the katana along to the other side. blood and innards spill out, bloodying Tinya again. she has to dart between its grasping hands to avoid being grabbed, but at least this way, the rain is washing the blood away]
redlikerose: (pic#12570839)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-17 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah!!! The 30th century! That's totally cool.

[ Ruby sounds distracted. There's a lot going on right now. She's not entirely comfortable with their current situation, but hey who is? Tinya's holding it together well. So Ruby's trying to be more steady herself. ]

You got more blood on you! I really hope that doesn't leave a mark. Do they have dry wash?
unphase: (as you breathe)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-17 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It is pretty cool. I miss it.

[who could be comfortable with the current situation? she remembers all too well how confused she was when she arrived here last month. but her time in the Legion has taught her to keep her cool in a crisis, so that's what she's trying to do]

I know. Gross. [she remains tangible long enough for much of the blood to be washed away by the heavy rains] It shouldn't leave a mark. This fabric's supposed to be stain resistant. [it probably should be noted that she's wearing a white and black costume]
redlikerose: (pic#12570836)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-18 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I bet you didn't have to deal with any of this nasty stuff at home.

[She kinda misses her own place too. Her family and friends were good to her. It'll be a while until they get back to their proper homes.]

I feel like I'm inside a really bad movie set with a tacky backdrop.

[Okay that ogre is done for. It's barely moving an inch. They did a good job here. Ruby pokes it with her scythe to make sure it's dead.]
unphase: (and if I die today I'll be the)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-18 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, I kinda did. Remind me to tell you about an alien who called himself Tangleweb.

[missing home and the Legion and her boyfriend is like a constant ache. making things worse is, she doesn't even know if she's alive or dead]

That's. . . not a bad description for this place. But it gets even more annoying. Just wait until you read the "newbie guide."

[and she floats down out of the sky next to Ruby]

My name's Tinya Wazzo. What's yours?
redlikerose: (pic#12534860)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-18 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no....both of those things don't sound good. I'm not a fan already.

[ She sulks for a brief second and perks up almost instantly. It takes a lot to keep Ruby all depressed like that. She waves her hand with quick motions. ]

Nice to meet you Tinya! I'm Ruby Rose!!
unphase: (you say we'll take a holiday)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-18 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry to say that you've found yourself in a very strange place. One you can't leave unless you're very lucky.

[Tinya tries to be as resilient, but she can only maintain denial of her possible death for so long. one of these days, she's going to snap]

It's nice to meet you as well, Ruby. Where are you from?
redlikerose: (pic#12534862)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-19 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't consider myself lucky. Well, here we are.

[ She smiles in a friendly way to Tinya. ]

I'm from a place called Remnant. It wasn't perfect or anything! I mean, we had monsters like that running around all the time. Sooo....that's why I can fight well.

[ Her skill in combat earlier wasn't just for show. She spent a long time developing those moves back home. ]
unphase: (could it make you wanna try?)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-19 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Here we are, indeed. You probably haven't had the chance to read the "newbie guide" yet. That's a good place to start, but if you have any questions, I'll try to answer. I've only been here a month myself.

[she gives a friendly smile back]

You're really good. I'm good at hand-to-hand combat, but this was my first time using a weapon.

[her first time killing, too. back home, her friends would be aghast]
redlikerose: (pic#12534858)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-19 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahah, I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to figure this out.

[Her mission and duties at home will have to wait. That's a shame. ]

Thank you!! You were incredible and that was your first time? You were all like Hiya!!!!! Looked like a real pro.

[She tries to imitate Tinya's fighting style with hand motion karate chops.]
unphase: (gotta get gotta get there faster than)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-19 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You probably will. Once this place has you, it seems to have trouble letting go.

[and she won't know if the Legion won their hardest battle until she gets home. assuming she's alive in the first place.

she giggles at Ruby's imitation at her]
Thank you. You were really good, too! All of that time fighting monsters back home really paid off.
redlikerose: (pic#12534865)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-20 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Totally! My uncle's the one who taught me how to use a scythe. It kinda runs in our family.

[Her sister's a huge combat nut too. They just seem to have knack for fighting and mobility. It's good though, these skills saved Ruby's life. ]

He's way better than I am. Did you learn how to fight on your own?
unphase: (seemed braver since then)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-20 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? It must be nice, being able to follow in your family's footsteps.

[says the girl who'd been all but disowned by her mother because of her choices]

Everyone in my world gets training in Lerdrit when they're around thirteen. It's a martial art that brings phasing into fighting. The rest of what I learned came from the Legion.
redlikerose: (pic#12534860)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-21 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
It is pretty nice. I wanna be reliable like them too someday.

[It's always been her dream to be strong like her family. Ruby's still a kid so it'll take a lot of work, but wow. Tinya's been to many places too! That's neat.]

You've been at it for a while now! That's soooo awesome. I gotta admire that.
unphase: (in a land of scarlet ribbon)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-22 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will be. You did very well against that--that monster. [calling them "monsters" makes it easier for her to accept the fact that she just took a life.

and it was always her dream to follow her own path, not the one set before her by her mother. and she has been to many places, many worlds]


Well, not a long time exactly. I'm only fifteen, but I guess I've learned a lot the last two years.
redlikerose: (pic#12534866)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-23 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes me officially older than you by a few weeks! I'm sixteen.

[Ruby nods to herself. They aren't too far apart in terms of age. It makes her happy.]

I would have never guessed that, actually. You still have lots of room to learn more tricks!
unphase: (I wanna play in your floating city)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-24 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good to meet another teenager here. Most people seem to be in their twenties and forgot what it was like to be a teenager.

[it makes Tinya happy, too. she's hoping that they can be good friends]

I hope so! I've heard that there are a lot of people here with different fighting styles. I'd like to ask them about it.
redlikerose: (pic#12534862)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-27 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
There's too many old farts down here. They need to lighten up!

[She pats Tinya on the shoulder. Ruby's really lucky to find a good friend like her down in these parts. ]

That'd be good! I always enjoy hearing about peoples fighting and choice of weapon. It says a lot about them, really.
unphase: (tucked inside the heart of every nice)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-27 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Some of them are nice, but the rest of them? Yeah, they need to lighten up. Or at least stop thinking about people our age as kids.

[she smiles happily at Ruby when she's patted on the shoulder. it's great to meet a girl near her age here]

Then you're going to be happy here. [with a laugh] Or at the very least, not miserable.
redlikerose: (pic#12534862)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-29 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously. We're mature enough to take care of ourselves!!

[Or so she thinks. Ruby sounds convinced it's true though. ]

That's great! I've had enough misery lately. I'll have plenty to do and I won't be bored.
unphase: (and castles are burning in my heart)

[personal profile] unphase 2018-09-29 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. And it seems like you're in the same situation I was, where you had to deal with danger on a regular basis.

[Tinya thinks so. she had to face danger all the time in the Legion]

Enough misery? Was your home. . . not a good one?
redlikerose: (pic#12570839)

[personal profile] redlikerose 2018-09-29 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a lot going on back where I'm from. I don't even know where to start! I'm being honest, it's a mess.

[Ruby frowns slightly. Just thinking about her place puts a damper on her mood for a second.]

Before this I got separated from my friends. We were really close too. It sucks to be away from people you like.
