Intro Log: Puddle Jumpers

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!

► This log covers September 10th-13th.

► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.

( Regenerative properties? The words are enough to light something in her eyes and make her lean over the bit of corpse with interest glinting her expression.

(And that light? More than just metaphorical, and seeming to grow brighter the longer she looks.)
)

... Couldn't look at the Colosseum. ( Because ever since she found the Door's signature, it's kind of overpowered everything else on days where it flares with power. Days like today, where it's open.

But, honestly, she can't see anything now, either.
)
completelycrazy: are you doin a bit with me rn (??? • what in the diddly darn)

[He just kind of blinks at her.]

Uh, okay...?

[Yeah, he's got nothing.]

What?

( When she glances back up at him, her eyes are completely white, bright enough to emit a faint glow, and she shrugs as though it's obvious. )

Door's power is too bright to see there.

( To see much of anything, really. )
completelycrazy: i had it in the opening and conveniently lost it (neutral • hey have you seen my umbrella)

[personal profile] completelycrazy 2018-10-08 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[He's... not sure he gets it, not fully, but there's clearly some magical thing happening. Got it.]

I mean, you're not missing much? Same old coliseum, just new people and new monsters every month. It was hardly even worth going this month with all the rain.

( She's doing that thing again, the one where she isn't properly explaining shit, and it isn't until Newt's confused words that she realises that.

A sigh, and her eyes flicker back to their usual deep brown.
)

Was there. ( It sucked, she got soaked, and her archery lessons were only so useful thanks to this thing's apparent regenerative properties. ) I can see powers. Door's power interferes with trying to look at anything the monsters might have when I'm there.

( Which, after all the time she'd spent wanting to find the Door, is a drawback she didn't really consider. )
completelycrazy: i'd like to see one alive and up close one day (chat • and unlike most people)

[personal profile] completelycrazy 2018-10-18 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Neat.

[Yeah, that's a much more helpful explanation.]

So what have you seen about the monsters that came in before the Door starting messing with you? If you have stuff to add to the bestiary, I'm all ears.

( Hmm. She does have stuff that might be able to help there, but without names for half the fuckers, this could get messy— )

Show me it.

( It'll be much easier to put powers to images or descriptions. )
completelycrazy: raaaaaalleiigghgghhhehehhgh (the compromise you own)

newt's bestiary is broken atm but it's still intact when this thread is happening lmao

Oh, yeah, it's on your phone. Here.

[He pulls out his own phone to show her. It's been attached to the welcome guide Nick maintains, so it's easy to download. For the sake of ease, he just pulls it up on his phone and hands it to her.]

( Oh, here we go. Some of these notes have her grimacing in remembering the monsters that were there, the fights had. The amount of people who made sure they weren't eating meat when she first arrived, shortly after the wendigos had possessed people. )

Been a lot of physical attackers. ( It's an offhand comment, as though seeing the whole list written down helps her realise something that's seemed off for a while. But there have been a lot of straight nasty biological types, who fight with claw and muscle rather than supernatural powers. ) Don't think anything here now's going to start spewing fire.

( And honestly, neither were a lot of the others. She remembers monsters which used to spew lightning and fire, and wonders why the change to what the Door brings in.

Maybe that's a question for later, though.
