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.

That's a little disappointing. It would have been quite something if it was yelling in a human language.

[His breath huffs in a little laugh to himself]

And, um, where is it you are from then?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Well if a deer climbed into a tree and told me to fuck off I'd probably shoot it.

[Which wouldn't be great for long term study of a new species.]

Montana.

[drabsolutelynot]

If you had a deer that could do that, I'd imagine our own Newton Gieszler would be more than delighted to have it. Shooting it would be a waste.

[A half smile]

Well I have heard of Montana.

[theweakhavepurpose]

We could tie it somewhere and it could yell about any danger approaching.

Oh good, I had to try to explain it to someone from a world full of dragons. It didn't go so well.

How about you?

[drabsolutelynot]

It must have sounded very exotic to them.

[But perhaps not in a good way]

New York.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I'm not sure I can make: lots of trees and guns, sound exotic, but I tried my best.

You're the second person from New York I've met here, does it suck extra to be here and not have the buildings and the skyline?

[Because he assumes everyone from New York is from the city itself and not the thousands of miles of forest and nothingness upstate.]
