Intro Log: Ugh, Talk to the Hand

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for February
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: February 10th-14th
Warnings: None


Welcome to Hadriel. Your first glimpse of your new home is maybe not the most welcome - you awaken on the floor of the colosseum, surrounded by sand and walls and... trees? Yes, trees. Along with you and the other newcomers, a number of Territorial Oaks have arrived in Hadriel. They look just like normal trees, except for those welcoming smiles - oh, and they don't like you at all. They move fast, hit hard, and if you manage to bring one down it'll go out in a large, dangerous explosion. This may have you rethinking your stance on clear-cutting.

While you're trying to avoid the trees, you might come across a few of the other things the Door has deposited in the colosseum for your (its?) entertainment. Namely, a bunch of toys that no one has played with in years. But maybe one of them will tickle your fancy?

Once you've finished indulging your 90's nostalgia, 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!

► This log covers February 10th-14th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

[honestly, there was no other word to be used to accurately describe Joffrey. and she spent the better part of a year keeping him sweet and catering to his darker impulses, if anyone gets to call him that, it's her. and she really couldn't be surprised by the Lannister twins, either, they were both insufferable so it stood to reason that the only ones they could bear to fuck was each other]

Indeed we are! [and she makes a pfft-ing sound and waves a hand idly] Renly was very well dressed and very clean and very good at getting people to like him. I did my best to seduce him, but some men cannot be seduced. Not by ladies, at least. So honestly, I had the most manageable Baratheon to deal with. [and she beams at the mention of her grandmother] Of course it is!

Perhaps! Father was away at Storm's End for so long, it's a small miracle he found the time.

The most manageable and only true Baratheon you married.

[Well. He hadn't known Renly himself, really, but Rhaegar can't recall any harsh words said about him. Aside from rumors of his preferences.

Margaery's smile is infectious. Warm. It's so clear to him she loves her grandmother very much. He can see some of Olenna's wit and charm in her.]


I did not know your grandmother well, but Houses Tyrell and Targaryen were close allies. When I did see her, I greatly enjoyed her humor and wisdom.

Too bad he ran afoul of his elder brother's Red Witch.

[said lightly. but now all of the Baratheons are dead and she can't bring herself to care much about it.

no, it's the death of House Tyrell which concerns her. and which she can do not a thing about, but endure and tell her eventual children tales of it when she finds the man she loves again.

and she adores her grandmother. her grandmother taught her everything she knows. about men, about life, about power. she hates the thought of her left with naught but vengeance to sustain her]


We were. [a pause] She did not speak of you to me. Perhaps such a thing would be [another pause] impolitic, given the circumstances.
shatteredrubies: (always thoughtful)

[personal profile] shatteredrubies 2019-03-03 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Red Witch? ... a priestess of R'hllor?

[Such a rarity in Westeros. What reason could this priestess have had to join with a Baratheon usurper?]

No. I would not expect Lady Olenna to speak of such a thing. I'm certain she has many in confidence, yet the subject of my perceived indiscretions must have remained taboo.

[For her safety, he's quite content with that.]

Indeed. Not that it saved him in the end.

[and now all of the Baratheons are dead]

Yes, most know the commonly told version of the story.

[and she wants to say "but that was a lie and in the end, all of those people died for nothing," so badly, but she restrains herself]
shatteredrubies: (look to the light)

[personal profile] shatteredrubies 2019-03-17 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. The lie. Perpetuated by Baratheon loyalists and those who didn't wish to risk their own titles and lands by arguing otherwise. I suppose those who preferred to stay silent are the kindest.

[He's quiet, a hand lingering over his chest as he becomes briefly lost in thought.]

... it pains me to think of the lives lost due to my cowardice. There are so many things I could have done differently. Perhaps I've returned now from the grave to live a life of retrospection. My punishment, though in some ways, it's far too light.
roseofthetyrells: (of her of her of her of her)

[personal profile] roseofthetyrells 2019-03-17 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[she prefers to keep her own council when it comes to the first statement. House Tyrell never liked to fight for the losing side, but thanks to the lie they did. twice. and now House Tyrell is gone. it's difficult to not resent that]

Yes, had you not wanted your wife anymore, you should have made that plain rather than running away with the highborn girl you preferred. What did you think was going to happen?

[perhaps later she'll regret that slip of the tongue, but honestly! one of the things Olenna drilled into her was the need for common sense and this entire things screams of a lack of it]
