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!

[After listening to the description, Tyki shakes his head. No, he keeps an eye out and usually remembers people he meets. Especially those that would stand out. And while he's been out and about, gallivanting in the rain, he's seen dozens of people. None of which seemed to fit either description of the people that Akira is searching for.]

Sorry, lad. I've been out for hours and I haven't seen a soul like that.

( there's only a shallow, knowing nod in reply to that. akira could have guessed as much but... he hadn't really wanted to accept it, not just yet, at least. not with how things had been left between him and akechi especially... and makoto— what would they do without her now? )

Thanks, anyway. ( it had been a fool's errand from the start. but a boom of thunder overhead has him looking up, his glasses getting pelted with the increasing size of the droplets. )

It looks as though it's going to start coming down pretty hard again. ( harder he supposed... ) There's probably some shelter around here, if you're in need.

( butterflies... can probably only handle so much, right? )

[Tyki is slightly sympathetic. As much as he can be for a stranger, anyway.]

Too bad. Maybe they'll be in one of the shops. It can't hurt to look. No one wants to wander in the rain.

[Tyki looks up towards the skies, despite the butterflies effectively blocking his view.] Suppose you're right. I'll be fine, you might want to make your way somewhere.

[jocoeur]

Yeah, maybe...

( not likely. but he appreciates the gesture all the same, at least.
honestly, this guy did seem pretty calm and collected with everything that was going on but then, akira supposed— his companions turned makeshift awning made it obvious that he was no ordinary man. )

I'll see you around, and— thanks again. ( he pops the collar on his cardigan, taking off up ahead, and out into the storm. )

[such_a_teez]

Good luck. I hope you find them.

[And with that, he turns and heads away.]
