A new day, a new world. Totally normal, right? Maybe not. Welcome to Hadriel!
You awaken on the sandy floor of the colosseum, a cloudy gray sky stretching above you, and around you - flowers. Hey, this isn't so bad, usually new people wake up to monsters! This time, the colosseum is filled with Echo Flowers. Echo Flowers are bioluminescent blue plants that have the ability to repeat the last sound they were exposed to, echoing it for a time before descending into static. These flowers might echo the words you said when you awoke - or they could say something more familiar, something you remember and that they should never have heard.
That's not all, either. Scattered across the ground of the colosseum can be found a variety of mood jewelry straight from the mid-90s. These will come in handy, because as soon as you arrive in Hadriel you may start experiencing extreme moods and mood swings, all thanks to the Door. With your very own yin-yang mood ring, you can learn... absolutely nothing, because it's cheap plastic jewelry that cannot actually tell your mood.
Once you've listened to the flowers and picked up a new accessory or two, feel free to look around. 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 October 10th-12th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

He's a god, more or less. [ And they know from Hadriel that gods are The Worst. ] One looking to restore the magical elven world he remembers from ages ago by getting rid of the one we've got now.
[ Despite all his plans, Solas had been responsible for so much death and destruction. She can't - won't - let that number grow. ]
He hid his identity and joined the Inquisition years ago. He was valuable because he knew more about the anchor than anyone else. [ She looks automatically at the space where her hand would have been before and sets her jaw tight. ] ...Back then, I didn't think to question why he knew so much. I s'pose no one else did, either.
no subject
Taako nods along, listening and trying to visualize this guy she's describing. It's probably fruitless- bad people rarely look bad- but he's mostly imagining this guy looking pretty goddamn snappy. It's always the ones who already have it all that want the world.]
Nah, I mean, it's what's up. You really need the help and then somebody decides to be a dick about it. 'Ss not your fault.
[The last thing she needs right now is to be told she's the worst and didn't figure out her own shit.]
Also, magical elven world? Terrible. I've literally never met an elf from your world and I can promise you that's fucking terrible. Elves on the whole fucking suck.There's a reason that Lup 'n I aren't like other elves and it's because so many of them have their heads so far up their own ass they might as well be a goddamn sphere.

[ Taako, Lup, and Sera would get along swimmingly, she thinks. Cecily remembers, too, that Sera had been in Hadriel once, a long time ago, and wonders if Taako had been in the city then, too...
It gets more and more difficult to remember, like her memories from Hadriel are grains of sand that slip between her fingers. ]
He's certainly got his head up his ass. If he ever shows it, I'll make it known.
[ She won't let him wreak any of his mysterious and mystical habit upon Hadriel, that's for sure. ...Or in Thedas, but that's a problem for another day, apparently. ]
no subject
Sounds like he deserves more up his ass.
[He grins at her, like she can get in on the joke, and prods her with an elbow. C'mon, girl, lighten up just a little bit.]
You wanna do something fun now that there aren't any consequences? Like, fuck being the queen bitch in charge or whatever, you're just an asshole in the death city now, let's live a little.
no subject
I'm an asshole in the death city with less of an ability now to keep myself and others safe from said death city. [ She shakes her head, looking a little haggard. ] I can't shake that off quite yet, Taako. I'm sorry.
[ This is a loss that still stings too keenly, even for her. ]
I'll take the time I need for this and then get in touch with you, and then we can go wild. All right?
no subject
Well, he doesn't have much use here now, does he? For all his power. All his fire. Eugh. Feelings suck ass.]
Yeah, yeah. Whatever.
[He stands, keeping his hands low.]
Just like... call if you're fucked up, okay?
no subject
[ She heaves a breath, but nods vaguely. Yes, if she's really in trouble, she'll call. Probably. For now, time heals all...or something. ]
You'll do the same, I know.
[ Again: probably. ]
no subject
Oh, yeah, you know.
[Some part of him wants to touch her, give her some sort of familiar gesture, but he doesn't really know how. So he forces his posture lighter and spins on his heel to leave.]
See ya round, Cec.
