hadriel_logs | Intro Log: A Day at the Beach

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for December
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: December 10th-13th
Warnings: None

It's icy cold when you wake up, so let's hope you arrived here wearing warm clothes. They're not too easy to find right now, either - Hadriel is a pretty unwelcoming place. You're on the floor of the colosseum, which is sandy and (right now) a bit frosty. It's you, the other newcomers - and of course, a battalion of newly-arrived giant scorpions, just as confused as you and ready to fight. They're big and fast, they've got armor covering their creepy bodies, and that stinger will seriously mess you up if you're not careful. So... welcome to Hadriel!

You might be cold, but the Door doesn't seem to be. Scattered across the ground of the colosseum can be found some beach towels with creative designs. And if that's not enough, you'll be all prepared for a day at the beach with these cute sandals (jandals?). Too bad there's no beach and it's really cold and everything sucks, right?

Once you've finished dreaming about a warm beach vacation, 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!

[Fool her once...

Snow or not, Lup's made it a tradition to be out and about during the newbies arrival every month for the last year and a half, so like hell a little cold is going to change that. Still, she's usually on guard when entering the colosseum, not at all expecting the surprise attack outside of it.

The snowball hits her right in the back of the head with ease, the elf shrieking out a surprised laugh at the sudden snow in her hair, before she's diving out of the way towards the nearest building for cover. It isn't too much later when the elf peeks out and launches a snowball of her own towards her opponent, only this one is being flung with magic, Lup already scooping up snow for the next.]

That's the last hit you'll get! Prepare to get dunked on!

[Snowball fights are serious, alright. Lup's been training all of her life for this.]

[Magic, something she wasn't familiar with but was being exposed to more and more in this world. It certainly gave her an advantage in the fight, as the ball hit her in the shoulder. Lyanna ducked behind a tree, centering herself before peeking out quickly to toss another one.]

Are you using magic? That's cheating!

[It didn't stop her from playing though and trying to best the elf. Magic or not, she was a Northern girl born among ice and snow. She was not about to beat in this very serious battle.]

[Ice may not be Lup's element, she's always run a little more hot than that, but she scoops up and packs snow like a champ, only shivering a little between her gleeful laughter.]

I sure didn't hear that in the rules! [Another snowball comes flying and the elf manages to duck behind her cover, already shooting another back at the other woman. She won't concede until she's on the ground, shivering and frozen. Which might not take too much longer considering this weather.]

Sounds like someone's scared of a little competition!

I'm trying to keep the playing fields even! [But even aware of magic in this world, it didn't tell her what sort this person wielded or what she might be capable of. When she wasn't busy ducking Lup's attacks, she would have to ask more about this.

For now, she continued to throw another pack of snow towards her. She didn't have magic to help her, but she had strength in her throw.]

I'll have to add ice to mine to make it truly fair!

Now that sounds like cheating to me!

[Lup pops her head out from behind her cover to shout out towards the other woman, amusement dancing in her voice, but just when she does, a snowball nails her right in the face. Which just sends the elf into shrieking laughter.]

Holy shit, check out the arm on you, sister!

I have had a lot of practice.

[She wasn't beyond underhanded methods. After Ned had gone to the Vale, she often found ways to entice her younger brother into a snowball fight, sometimes sniping him the moment he stepped out into the courtyard.

It took a steady and certain hand.]

Ready to surrender yet?

[If Lup can understand anything, it's tormenting younger brothers. What could be better?]

Not a chance! [a pause] But if you're willing to call a truce, I may be open to cooperation.
