Intro Log: Better Off Dead

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for November
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: November 10th-12th
Warnings: Content warning for body horror in both items and animals this month!

Good morning and welcome to Hadriel! The forecast is cloudy with a chance of cold rain, and the weather is a bit too chilly for your tastes. That's alright though- you've got bigger things to worry about. Like the fact that you're waking up alone on the ground of what looks like a colosseum, and that you're surrounded by scattered jewelry. These various pendants, brooches, and chokers all feel- fleshy and slightly warm to the touch, though they'll cool off and firm up the longer you might be holding them.

But what kind of sick and twisted person would do something like this?

Well, the same kind of person who would apparently throw you in here with not only messed-up body jewelry, but also messed-up body monsters. You may hear them approach, thumping on the ground and growling as they come closer to you... but there's not much to be afraid of, really.

The monsters that surround you this month are grossly deformed, appearing as if someone tried to inexpertly combine multiple monsters together to make them more fearsome- the head of a hellhound is too big and it can't lift it, so it drags along the ground, the bear has too many legs to walk properly and falls on itself, improperly-spliced chimeras have dead heads that loll lifelessly about their necks- so on and so forth. It may be a better idea to put these creatures out of your misery before you go- if you're able to, that is.

But at least you can find your freedom relatively easily- if you could 'living in Hadriel' as freedom, I suppose. Once you escape from the colosseum, 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!

[She ducks her head to hide her flushed face as if realizing that she's wearing that dress for the first time.] Ah. Not sure, to be perfectly honest. Might've had it lying around for a while.

[Don't diss opera in Rey's presence, man. She will cut a bitch to defend its honor.]

[outofthefire]

[awww, that's adorable!] Well, wherever you got it, I like it.

[start her slowly. maybe with "Carmen." she'd appreciate that one]

[circumitus]

[Shhh, she's not adorable! She's a strong independent and hardened killing machine who don't need no man.]

Um, thanks... again? [Shit.] Was on the losing end of a bet. That's... what all this is. Ha...

[Rey was not very into the French stuff, but she's branched out enough to know that Laura would probably like that one.]

[outofthefire]

[she is too adorable. and all of those other things besides]

Really? [teasingly] Who'd you lose the bet with, I might need to thank them.

[she might even be able to understand the French stuff since she took French in high school]

[circumitus]

Atem.

[Rey mutters the name, biting the inside of her cheek.]

He had a better score at Devil's Grip.

[Touché. Funny enough, of all the nine languages she speaks, French isn't even one of them. It never became useful.]
