Intro Log: A Day at the Beach

[hadrielmods]

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!

[she's never seen anything like the rifle. though, she can't deny its effectiveness once she sees it in action. however, she'll keep her sword and dagger. they've served her well over the year of the Blight]

Perhaps so! Are yours named for the baser emotions? And that is one of the few fun things about this place.

[as she talks, she continues slaughtering scorpions, her blades leaving visible frost in their wake]

[Spiral is a blast, but he'd never trade out Rebellion or Ebony and Ivory. Sometimes you just gotta keep close what's served you best. And every warrior has a weapon or two they favor more than the rest of them.]

Nope. [Dante stops, thinking for a moment.] Okay, some of the weaklings are. There's the Sins, they're close to that. [It's fun, just casually slaying hoards of bug monsters while having a pleasant conversation.]

[theladyofhighever]

[and for Mariane, Maric's blade and the Dead Thaig Shanker suit her best. Maric's blade for it was an engagement present of sorts. the Dead Thaig Shanker because it was a token of trust from a friend whose trust she had to earn. she has a deeply sentimental nature, don't tell anyone]

Strange. All demons in my world, even the truly powerful ones, are based on the emotions they invoke. What are your world's demons like? [she asks as she continues to slaughter scorpions]

[often_impaled]

Back home? Let's see... [He stops for a moment, and leans on Spiral after pressing it against the ground. To an outsider, Dante might seem incredibly careless with his weapons. Sometimes he doesn't look when he shoots, sometimes he stabs wildly, sometimes he uses them for things that most weapons wouldn't be safe being used as. But that's the joy of Devil Arms. They're not normal weapons. And don't have to be treated like they are.] We've got a ton of 'em. Way too many. Some of them are human sized, a lot of the Sins are. And then there's some that are big enough to have a full party in. If you can imagine it, there's probably a demon that fits it. [Enough rest for now, it's back to shooting gallery fun times.]

[theladyofhighever]

[yes, he does seem to treat his weapons rather casually. she'd never dream of doing the same to hers. she treats hers with reverence, given what they mean to her. especially her sword. it had been the blade used by Maric the Savior to bring the Orlesian occupation of her home country, Ferelden, to an end]

It's the same in my world, though Pride demons tend to be especially large. They all die in the end, though. [yes, back to slicing up scorpions] You fight very well. It's something you do often?

[often_impaled]

And the bigger they are? The cooler they look when they come crashing down. [He doesn't have the kind of pride and loyalties to an area or country. He doesn't care about his weapons, save for the ones that came from his family. They're dead demons, they don't deserve that sort of love as a rule. Dante is detached from a lot of things, save for family and fun. And he loves those things in equal parts, even if he doesn't really act like the family part is important.]

How big do those demons get, anyway? The prides? The prides I know are kinda slow and dumb. There's a hell of a lot of 'em though. Guess they make up for their failure that way.

[theladyofhighever]

They do, indeed. [for a very long time, Mariane carried her family sword, the sword which belonged to the Cousland line for generations. but for a long time, she thought she was the only Cousland left. she would understand the love for family, she still misses her slain mother and father every day and every day, she's grateful that her elder brother survived]

As tall as a three storey keep and they're very intelligent. Not like the ones from your world at all as they're also very rare. Rage demons, on the other hand, are terribly common and not too bright.
