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!

[ And stand out she does, even if it's in a way that she might not have expected to. She looks out of place to Daryl, sounds out of place. She's too young to be alone, has too bright an attitude to make sense to him. He blinks, slowly, wondering how she's survived so long. Daryl still thinks he's somewhere close to home with the dead hiding everywhere. ]

I'm fine. [ It's an obvious lie, but Daryl doesn't know what else to say. He's not asking this little girl for help. That would be unthinkable. ]

[redlikerose]

You know what? I'm not convinced, yeah.

[Ruby gently pats him on the back...assuming he won't fall over from it. She's a bit young to be alone out here, true. It's not the first time she's been wandering around without supervision. ]

Take it easy friend.

[ Daryl snorts, hard. Amused despite how much it hurts. Okay, so maybe he wasn't exactly passing for 'okay'.

He flinches when she touches him though, less from pain and exhaustion (although that is a part of it) then from shock. How familiar could a strange girl be witha a guy that looks like him? ]

I ain't your friend! Where'd you come from, girl? [ And who would let her wander off talking to strangers? ]

[redlikerose]

Wow! I was shot down so fast. How could you deny my friendship like that?

[ 1. Ruby this is not how you make friends.
2 this is a disaster.
3 ??? Daryl doesn't seem to be in a good mood, so she should have taken a memo or something. ]

I just came dropping by. Literally.
