Intro Log: True Love's Kiss

[hadrielmods]

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

You wake up cold and in the snow-covered dirt. Hope you have warm clothes with you, because it's freezing outside- but that's not your only thing to worry about. Contrasting with the pure white of the snow and slush are strange shadows that seem to glide across the frozen wasteland just outside of your peripheral vision. Whatever these beings are, they're not friendly, and simply being near one of them is enough to spiral you into a depression, as if you'll never be happy again. Get too close and you begin to relive the worst memories of your life- get even closer and they might just steal your soul away.

Dementors are wraithlike creatures from the Harry Potter franchise, who can drain the happiness of everyone around them before closing in to suck their soul out through their mouths- ew. While ordinarily only wizards can see them, these particular dementors are somewhat visible to the untrained eye, if only as shadows and dark flickers of movement.

But it's not all bad around here! While you're feeling kind of blue, there's also some toys and various plastic nonsense that looks like consolation prizes one might get from a very tacky dining experience.

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!

[It's probably lucky that Stork didn't walk in on Ignis' own residence, but rather the young man spots him as he checks inside one of the doors. He observes him for a moment, quietly curious, until the-- the individual begins to open the door.]

No-one lives there.

[Either this man is looking for someone, or he is looking for an empty space to claim. Hopefully that answers both.]

Have you just arrived?

[merb]

They don't? Good, then I can stay here. That's how it works around here, right? Finders keepers?

[ Stork sticks his head inside the empty apartment for a moment and surveys the inside, apparently finding it acceptable. He withdraws back to the hallway to regard Ignis for a moment, fidgeting. ]

Yes. But I'm not a monster like those... wraith things.

[ That should be obvious, but he feels like he needs to clarify it. No one's actually told him yet that the monsters arriving along with the new people is a normal thing. ]

[claritatis]

Mm. Close enough.

[That is how it seems to work around here, with no formal arrangements when it comes to choosing a place to live. If he wants a lock on the door, he's going to have to sort that out for himself.]

And... yes, I didn't think that you were. [The lack of eerie floating and the fact he's a clearly visible, physical presence are certainly telling giveaways.]

I hope this turn's choice of creatures didn't give you too much trouble.

[ He'll take it -- finders keepers is so basic, everything should run on that premise (it's how he claimed the Condor, after all) so Stork nods emphatically. Ignis' question about the dementors has Stork freezing in recollection, one hand still resting on the doorknob of his new abode. ]

They were... they drained something. I've never felt like that.

Will they come back?
