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 gives a small laugh.]

Sorry. Something we say back home. If you see the glass as half full, then you're more optimistic, while if you look at a glass and see it as half empty, you're more pessimistic.

[bloodburdened]

Oh, I see. [she ponders a moment] I suppose going by those standards, I'm more of a pessimist?

[uptightness]

At least there are a lot of places to choose from here.

[So she does have options, if she needs them.]

[bloodburdened]

At least there's that.

[though, she wouldn't know what to do with herself alone. she grew up in a castle full of people and then spent nearly a year on the road with her companions]

[She gives a nod.]

Well if you need a hand with anything, feel free to call, although sounds like those from your world might help.
