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!

[She is a little winded and a lot muddy. Better than injured though, so she'll take it any day. Glancing over, there is a wry expression on her lips.]

They don't tend to make it this far this early.

[Not usually, anyway. No doubt they are as confused as the beings that arrive. They're tough. There's no questioning that.]

Aha! So they're stuck there. Good! I don't wanna deal with it ever again.

[Ruby inhales and exhales deeply. They managed to get away this time but they aren't completely safe. It makes her feel a little nervous. ]

That was gross and it's not how I want to spend my day. You get me, right?

They're stuck on this island, unless they find a way across the waters.

[She doesn't think that they would be leaving... They didn't seem the most intelligent, and the water is choppy at best most days. With the rain? It's likely even worse.]

It's fairly common, at least if you come around here during these days. Otherwise, aside from the rain, you're unlikely to find too much.

[Why this place can't bring in chickens or something... Roasted sounds good right about now instead of whatever they can scrounge up.]

Oh, wow. Sure sounds busy around here.

[Ruby makes a dismissive hand gesture and points to the place around them.]

Hearing that puts me at ease. I'm supposed to be heading towards Mistral. Guessing I can forget about my travel plans for now?

[Seeing as they have no way back....so much for that. ]

I guess you can say that they've been put on pause.

[Carolina doesn't know where Mistral is, although by now, it's not that surprising. A fair number of people do seem to come from Earth, but she is aware of those who are from different places as well. Anyway, not like the concept of an alien is a foreign one to her. She's known of the existence of aliens since she can remember.]

People do leave, but how they manage is the question.

Maybe they got lucky?

[Ruby doesn't sound entirely convinced that's the answer to it all.]

I dunno. But hey, if there's a way out that means we can't give up! We gotta keep trying!!

Seems about as legit an answer as one can get here.

[Not that she wouldn't protect Caboose with her life, but he doesn't exactly scream smart. If anything, he likely had just stumbled upon the way out. Probably hadn't even meant to do it, knowing him.]

This place isn't all bad.

I sure hope so, Carolina! I'm going to keep staying positive and I'll do my very best.

[That's what she's been doing up until now. There's no reason for her to suddenly change her views. Ruby seems set for the most part.]

Let's work together!

[Is that a saying that she says, or does she actually mean that? It's not that Carolina isn't a team player, although she can say that sometime she is not, especially when people don't listen. She'd guess that she is a teenager, and a fairly chipper one at that. In a way, her and Caboose likely would have gotten along wonderfully.]

I- ya, I'll let you know if I find anything.

Thank you!! You're the best!!

[Ruby waves at Carolina and offers her a high five. Her palm is open awkwardly like that. ]

Gimme a high five. Please?

[There is a moment, glancing at that hand that she is leaving hanging. She doesn't really... high five. But with that please, she does raise her own hand. It's not the most enthusiastic high five in the history of high fives, but it is one.]

How about you thank me if I find anything.

[ It's something! and that's enough to get Ruby to smile. ]

Okay! I'll do that.

[She lets out a cheer and then jumps up high!]

Saying thanks is easy.

[Okay. Yes. She is pretty chipper, isn't she.]

True, but I also haven't done anything yet.

[Well, with respect to the information anyway.]
