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!

[ He just gives her a sharp look before letting out a huff. ]

Of course there is. You don't think we would just be walking around planets and digging holes in the ground to find it, did you?

[ Well he technically was doing that on Earth but with more sophisticated equipment. There's some sarcasm as he says that last part. ] But there is a distinct lack of Cybertronian technology on this planet.

I don't know, [ Kettara says simply, kneeling down to run her hands through the dirt. She can't identify any of the minerals there, beyond a few specks of granite, and the Earth doesn't speak to her. She lets the dirt fall through her fingers. ] Maybe you need to dig deeper. Or maybe there's nothing. It's hard to tell in this place.

[traitory]

[ He just growls in annoyance. This was a big waste of time. ]

Dig deeper? Oh yes that's just so easy when you have no tools to do exactly what you propose. I am not about to get my hands dirty for something I don't even know will yield results.

[ But perhaps these gods will be ever so kind and have a stock of energon for him in the store. ]

[oldtonew]

[ Kettara frowns at him. ]

Then how else will you eat?

[traitory]

[ Ugh how else indeed. He'll grumble under his breath as he sighs, wings drooping slightly. ]

Perhaps I will seek out these so called gods. Unless they haven't already provided me with energon already. I've heard various...humans tell me that the store here has food items stocked.

[ So he has little choice but to make his way towards that. As much as he hates to do so. Starscream isn't about to starve to death so whatever means are necessary he'll get what he needs to survive. ]

[oldtonew]

[ Kettara shrugs, though she's watching him with interest. She's never met a creature like him before. ]

Is that truly all that you can consume?

[traitory]

[ He actually looks...unsure. He's never tried to eat anything else?! ]

Why would I want to eat anything else? [ And ruin his figure? No but he's never actually tried so he doesn't really know. ]


I've never known any others to eat anything but energon.

[oldtonew]

It seems like something worth knowing, [ Kettara points out. She comes closer, inhaling deeply and trying to get a handle on what, exactly, he smells like. Not quite a golem, no. ] Were you created by someone?
