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!

[Girl startles into a laugh, which she tries to cover with a cough. Bad? Oh, this woman surely hasn't spoken to anyone. Girl feels a little bad that she's going to be the one to break the bad news.]

No one's really told you anything, huh? And you didn't find the file on the, uh- [She pulls out her communication device and waves it around for effect.] Those wannabe gods are the reason you're here. They took you 'cause we're their food source. They live off our emotions and they go to a lotta extremes to make us feel what they wanna eat.

[redlikerose]

Not really. I only know what I know from you.

[She makes a tired face and sighs. Ruby really doesn't know what she's getting into. But , ah? That explanation starts to make her fearful.]

Doesn't look like you're lying so I'll take your word for it. Thanks for helping me out. You seem cool.

[thelastjoy]

I'd take a look at this thing when you get a breather. It'd tell you more and quicker than I can.

[The device is tucked back into her pocket. She watches Ruby for a long moment, feeling a pang of sympathy for the confusing days that lie ahead.]

Not a problem. It's rough here at first. We all might as well help out when the fresh blood comes through. Makes it easier when we're all on the same page.

[redlikerose]

Gotcha! I'll give it a good read. Geez, I reallly don't like books, but I need to so I'll try.

[Ruby pouts a little. It's information that can save her life so she won't complain about it.]

Right. What kinda things do you do around here?
