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!

[Mewtwo is just a little faster than that, and in a bright glowing light, she's taken on a new form. She teleports behinds the orge, flinging a ball of blueish light into the orge's back.

She doesn't seem to trust Mettaton to handle the fight himself, but... she doesn't really trust any (supposed) human here to have things under control.

Luckily the orge stumbles, but it isn't defeated.]

Can you defeat it?

[mttbrandlegs]

[Mettaton's almost impressed with the new form displayed by this...vaguely catlike creature. Is she a monster? It's...definitely possible, but he knows he's never seen one like her before. And definitely not with that level of psychic aptitude.

Her asking him whether he would be able to defeat the enemy was a little distracting though. Fair, he supposes, as this was their first time meeting. Still, Mettaton puts a hand to his chest, faux gasping in obvious (if conflated) insult.]

You wound me! Of course I can defeat it. All it would take is a little time, I think! Would you be a dear and help with that?

[Electricity crackles at his fingertips once more, spreading along the raindrops a fair distance before ebbing. It's up to her whether she believes in his abilities, but Mettaton's just itching to unleash some real magic.]</small

[madebyhumans]

I don't take orders from-!

[She pauses, eyes widening in surprise that she forgets what she's saying. It's... electricity? Either way, it catches her off guard enough that Mettaton's more than welcome to fire off a magical attack.]

[mttbrandlegs]

[The silence works well enough for Mettaton. He uses the given opportunity to charge the air with a controlled bolt of electricity that dances a captivating but dangerous line towards the ogre before enveloping it in his own brand of magic.

Ohhh, he hopes it hurts. How dare this creature attack him so thoughtlessly?

The creature is forced to take a knee from the power of Mettaton's attack, but the cat monster is easily within her rights to join in at this point. For his part, Mettaton's going to rally a little--the water's starting to seep into the gaps between his arm segments now.

Very uncomfortable.]

You're up, darling...
