Intro Log: Ten Thousand Lightning Bugs

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for May.
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: May 10th-16th
Warnings: Confused newbies, pretty fireflies, stuff getting lit on fire

Awakening in Hadriel is perhaps not the most wonderful thing, but as you pry yourself off the hard ground of the colosseum, you may notice that the Door (or possibly one of the gods?) has seen fit to provide you with a little entertainment. Scattered across the ground are a number of handheld video games. These cheap pieces of shit lovingly crafted products can each provide you with whole minutes of entertainment, at least until you get frustrated and smash them to pieces. Have fun!

But not too much fun. If you get too involved in that game, you might miss the approach of some glowing little creatures - guardian fireflies, from the movie Atlantis. Should they land on anything flammable - and yes, that includes you and your hair - it'll burst into flames. Smash them, and they'll explode in a tiny ball of flame, too. There'll be a couple hundred of these things flying around Hadriel, so let's hope you left your stash of gunpowder at home. With the window closed.

Once you've stopped dropped and rolled, feel free to go explore the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

That's how it was for all of us. And good luck tryin' to find it again.

[He shrugs. That pretty much sums it up for why they're stuck, he thinks.]

Hope, Fear, Rage, and Delight. All named after their favorite things. Clever, huh?

[prosperus]

Yeah. [ Felix's voice is as dry as dirt. And sarcastic. Very, very sarcastic. ] Their wit astounds me.

[ He nods toward his new conversational buddy. ]

You got a name?

[foundafamily]

[Yep, they're mighty impressive.]

Firo Prochainezo. You?

[He's curious about this guy--they don't dress like anyone he's ever seen.]

[prosperus]

[ He's already sure he's never met the guy before—doesn't recognize him and he doesn't usually forget a face—but the name confirms it. Never heard it. ]

Felix. How long you been here?

[ Because maybe if he has an idea... Well, who knows? Maybe it doesn't matter at all. Maybe they're all stuck here forever. ]

[foundafamily]

A while now. I haven't really been keeping too good track of the days, but I've seen two new groups of you guys come in.

[He rakes his fingers through his hair, not hiding his frustration. He has stuff to do back home, damn it.]

Lotta people've been here longer than me, though. Sorry to say, but you're probably in this for the long haul.

[prosperus]

[ That doesn’t sound promising, but these days, what does?

Felix nods in understanding—though he doesn’t, not yet—and turns to go. ]

Thanks for the intel. You need a favor, maybe look me up if I’m still around.

[ Maybe. Because Felix has no plans to stay any longer than he absolutely has to. ]
