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!

Kettara Bloodthirst.

[ This time, she uses her full name. It seems appropriate, after a battle. Kettara puffs out her chest. ]

How long have you been here?

[dedikated]

( ...Bloodthirst.

Kate blinks. But nothing is said about it, because — in the greater scheme of things — how is a terrible surname really any weirder than anything about Hadriel? Instead she gets down to business, because business is easy and that question should be basic.

Of course, it's rare that anything about Hadriel is basic, at all. Ever. )

Best guess? 'Round a year. ( A bit more, actually, but it's hard to keep track, and even with the calendar Henry made now in her possession, Kate can't quite be sure of the exact date. How many of them did she lose between everyone disappearing, finding out Henry had been sent home and actually finding the will to clear his place out? ) Prob'ly about that much last time, too.

( And, you know, there's that. )

[ Kettara rolls her shoulders, keeping limber and loose. Ready to move again if she needs to. ]

What does that mean? Have you...left?

[dedikated]

( There are more of those things, ones hulking around, trying to puzzle their way out of the Colosseum, and Kate does wonder how the fuck they're meant to take all of them down and move them. Ogre corpses littering the streets of the island is a less than ideal way to spend this already waterlogged month. )

Once. ( She hums lightly, thoughtfully. ) Some people come back, some don't. Some of 'em remember, some don't.

( It's all very... strange, unfortunately. )
