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!

[Alphys shrieks at the same time she does, immediately cringing as the metal plays the lord's worst music on the ceiling and the floor. She peeks up from her hunched over form through her hands, eyes wide with her glasses pressed into her face.]

I'm-- I'm a monster?? But n-not a bad monster I promise!! I won't hurt anyone!!!

[ And now she has a scream to compete with the storm outside. ] A monster?!

[ She scrambles back from her, pressing her back to the farthest counter and grabbing a-- a.... she doesn't know what this metal rod is from, but she's now holding it out in front of her in defense! ] Y-you better not eat me...!

[Alphys is being very careful not to get any closer, waving her hands in front of her chest.]

N-No, no, I don't eat anyone! It's just the name of my species! I promise! I just work here!!

[She looks about as terrified as the other girl, if that's any help.]
