World Log: Jungle Arrival

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone in the city
What: The event log for the Planet Transfer
Where: All over the city
When: March 28th
Warnings: None

One minute you're freezing your ass off in the middle of a light snowstorm, and the next you're suddenly boiling in the wet heat. Sunlight streams down through green- so much green, more green than you could possibly have imagined since coming to Hadriel- and it's beautiful in its own way, if you're into that sort of thing.

The more sensitive of citizens may feel some slight nausea from the move but otherwise everything is as it should be. Alien birds squawk in the trees, you can hear the local fauna rustling through the brilliantly-colored leaves. Everything is alien here, but a forest is universal. Luckily, a section of forest has been cleared away for the city, so you can still see the sky above and you can still move around without getting lost in the thick foliage that surrounds this place, but be careful when exploring! There's no telling what could be out there, and you want to be prepared for anything.

So what is your new home like? It's hot, for one- you might want to shed and burn all those winter coats and Christmas sweaters immediately! You'll be sweating buckets before the day is over, but at least we still have cold showers to help wash off the grime as you adjust to your new life in an alien jungle. Have fun, enjoy your stay, but don't forget: we may need to fight here soon. Be ready.

[He's close enough to see that something is odd about the eyes of this young woman, though not close enough to make any more detailed observation than that.

Rosen's gaze flicks briefly between her and the reptile then falls on her again]

I, uh, I don't recognize you.

[One tentative step closer]

...are you one of our newer residents?

[originallutece]

I am, yes. I've only been here a month, if that.

[But she doesn't look particularly disoriented or frightened by this.]

It's . . . interesting, to say the least. Have a name?

[drabsolutelynot]

'Interesting' is perhaps the best word for it.

[He shrugs and holds up his arms in a 'what can ya do' gesture]

Me? Or this place?

[He asks mostly in jest. If she's been here a month then she 99% likely knows the name]

Dr. Lee Rosen. And yourself...?

[originallutece]

Madam Rosalind Lutece.

[Now she approaches him, her eyes locked on him, back straight and moving with supernatural grace. And those sure are fangs in her mouth, huh. They sure are.]

A pleasure. How long have you been here?

[drabsolutelynot]

[He's going to keep his eyes on those fangs, thank you very much.]

That answer varies depending on who you ask....

[A flick of his eyes to meet hers before his gaze goes back to the fangs]

...It would seem I am only aware of part of the time I have technically been here.

[originallutece]

And in total?

[Because honestly, that's more interesting than individual times, frankly.]
