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!

Oh, thank God. If that had hit Youtube, it would have been a disaster.

[Making jokes is a great ignoring pain strategy. Or it would be if it was actually working, but hey, it was worth a shot.

Peter's not super thrilled with himself for getting hurt. Now the guy he'd been trying to help was having to help his busted ass up, and this guy really didn't look like he was in any shape to be trying to lift people. Now that Peter's got a chance to really take in this guy's condition, yeeaaaah. They better get to the clinic fast before he bleeds out or something.

Luckily, the getting back on his feet part is the most painful part. Once Peter's standing again, he's good to go.]

That web's not gonna hold for long. We gotta get outside, they won't follow us out of the arena. Because... reasons, I don't know why. That's just how it works.

[ For half a second Daryl considers asking what Youtube is, but he realizes he doesn't really care at the same time as his strength starts to give out again. Luckily it's the kid's turn to catch his weight, and Daryl is frankly surprised but how strong he is - stunned really, considering the injuries he just took. ]

That... what? [ Because that's exactly what that weird stuff looks like - like a giant spider web. And the monster is stretching against it, pulling with all its brute strength, and even though nothing makes any sense to him, Daryl doesn't need to be told twice. He's nearly doubled over in pain though, and it sounds like the kid knows what he's talking about. And as crazy as it all is, he can't help trusting him. Maybe he just seems too young and honest to lie.

Kind of like Glenn. ]

How what works? How d'you know all this? [ He's trying to walk though as he practically shouts, holding onto Peter with one arm (more for himself than anything) and holding his bleeding side with the other. ]

[To help the whole 'holding this guy up' process along, Peter moves the arm he has around his shoulder to his back. He would suggest just giving this guy a piggy back ride to speed this along, but half of his attention is still on the ogre that's currently caught up in his webs. So far it was holding pretty well, but not really as well as the formula he'd used back home. Limited resources, y'know. He'd had to make some adjustments to his web juice here. He'd have to worry about the nerdy science shit later, though.]

Y'know, webs. Like, spiders-- you know what, I can explain that later. The rest of that, I should also explain later, like after we get out of the smash zone and I get you to the clinic. I'll tell you everything I know then, promise.

[ What's left of the blood in Daryl's head would have leaked out at the suggestion of climbing onto someone's back piggyback-style, so it's a good thing Peter doesn't mention it. Daryl wouldn't be able to handle the embarrassment. ]

Yeah, you'd better. [ Because frowning in disbelieved confusion is starting to give Daryl a massive headache. Or maybe that was the blood loss and the bullet wound, but who could be sure? ]

A clinic? You're kiddin'. I ain't seen one outside a farmhouse since... well since the world went to shit.

I will! I totally will.

[Turn that frown upside down, buddy. Save yourself from a headache. Honestly he's probably going to get an even bigger one later once someone explains this lovely place to him.]

Uh. Yeah, I think we're probably at least a little better equipped than a makeshift farmhouse clinic might be? You'll be okay.

[He might have to ask him about the whole world going to shit thing later because THAT sounds interesting, but maybe not the best topic to ask about while this guy is bleeding all over.]
