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!

Sure, okay. I'm not all that good with complicated things. I'm good at winging it.

[Ruby shoots Tucker a thumbs up. That's really convincing! Only it's not. There's a lot of things she's worried about, but eh she can keep trucking along. It'll be okay.]

This kinda thing happened to you back home? Where are you from?

[nowherewolf]

I'm from Earth, but apparently that doesn't mean a whole lot here.

[There's like, ten Earths.]

Where I'm from is already made up of a bunch of dimensions. Sometimes asshole faeries or whatever drag you into one of them. Usually because you pissed 'em off.

[redlikerose]

Why do the faeries have to be so mean? They should know their place!

[Ruby puffs her cheeks up like she's ready to spank them or something.]

It's not nice to mess with other people like this. I'm from Remnant but maybe you're right. It doesn't mean too much.

[nowherewolf]

[Nice spunk. She's probably going to need it, this place can be super depressing.]

Yeah, I feel you. But like I said, assholes. Never heard of a place called Remnant, but yeah, most of us have never heard of each others' worlds. Where you're from must have monsters, though, right? You didn't seem to flinch at that big thing.

[He jerks a thumb toward the downed ogre.]

[redlikerose]

Yup! We had plenty of monsters everywhere. They were called Grimm and they're a real nasty bunch.

[Ruby shakes her head a lot. Monsters is a common theme around here.]

I'm used to fighting so I think I'll be okay. You didn't seem scared either.

[nowherewolf]

Yeah, we got monsters in my world, too. All over the damn place. Part of my job was clearin' the worst ones out of places.

[Though these days, he mostly delegates those tasks to other people. He shrugs.]

Guess you get used to that shit.

[redlikerose]

You do! It's alright as long as you can deal with it.

[Ruby makes a fist bump motion. They can manage somehow.]

Are they really big monsters? Or smaller ones.

[Maybe size doesn't matter too much, but a bigger beast is harder to kill sometimes.]
