hadriel_logs | Intro Log: Eight Legs No Heart

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for June.
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: June 10th-15th
Warnings: Spiders. Soooo many spiders. New people. Probably swearing.

For once, the new arrivals to Hadriel will not be waking up on the cold hard ground of the colosseum. Oh, sure, you'll still awaken in the arena - but this time the Door has been kind enough to ensure that you wake up comfortably arranged in a very nice chair. Or maybe not so comfortably. Some of those look pretty awkward - hopefully you didn't wake up with a crick in your neck! And hey, feel free to try to drag some of these super cool chairs to your new homes. They're probably not cursed or anything.

As you make your way out of the arena, be careful getting to close to the walls - well, except that's the only way out, so good luck! Chilling up on there waiting to get the drop on you are Skulltulas. These funky-looking spiders have squishy underbellies, but their upper exoskeletons are hard and very difficult to break through. They really just want to nibble you a few times, and maybe suck out all of your blood. No big deal, right? Have fun!

Have you conquered your arachnophobia and managed to escape? Great! 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!

► This log covers June 10th-15th.

► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

[ It's an unbelievably amazing sight, isn't it? Kanda thought the exact same thing when he first arrived. Just like it seems almost believable that they can just waltz right out of the caves along the perimeter and back to safety.

Nope. If only it were that simple.

Honestly Kanda has pretty much not even bothered with the Colosseum this month because it would be the exact same song and dance. It was boring, uninteresting, and didn't help him figure shit out at all. So why even bother when he already knows the outcome will be nothing beneficial?

Apparently, though, he should have gone anyway because he certainly thought he had seen a certain dog out of the corner of his eye while leaving the shops. Kanda's just going to stop and silently make his way over.

Yeah, you're being followed. ]

[Darn right, he should've gone. Missed some grade A badassery, man. Also, so rude. No need for name-calling.

The last time Link saw Kanda, the exorcist wasn't exactly in the greatest of shape, what with being collapsed on the ground after getting his ass handed to him by a being of frankly frightening power dressed up like a cardinal. So... yeah. This is a little surprising, and the surprise shows pretty clearly on Link's face when he turns to face the newcomer and sees Kanda, of all people.]

... Kanda.

[Link looks almost exactly as he did when they last spoke, if a bit more tense. There would be little point in putting on an act for this particular exorcist, even if they weren't apparently stuck together in some strange new world.]

[ Look man if he wants bad ass he'll just go pick a fight. But he won't, because he's certainly learned his lesson of it. But you can't deny you're a dog either, Link. Don't lie to yourself.

Yeah, uh, about that.... Not Kanda's proudest moment. Not something he'll easily talk about, either.

But when he's found out, he's just standing there, folding his arms over his chest. How does it feel to be followed, Link? ]

So it is you. [ Which, naturally, Kanda doesn't seem too happy about. That neutral stoic look takes on more of a scowl as his eyes shift toward the direction of the Colosseum. Guess it was the day for that, wasn't it. ] Welcome to hell, crow. [ Hadriel, hell, the same thing. ] In case you were wondering, the caves aren't exactly a viable option alone.

[Not gonna lie, it's a little unsettling to be followed like that. Good thing most people don't have reason to follow around boring old Link. Nothing special to see here. Nope, not a thing. >_>

Just gonna take a second to pull his normal composure back together again. It's almost like the last conversation they had, except Link's not smiling. And hopefully Kanda won't threaten to murder him.]

... How long have you been here?

[ Damn right it's unsettling. B) Take that, stupid crow. Though there's totally reason to follow you now.

Funny how it was rather similar to their last conversation. Almost the same situation as well, what with Kanda actively seeking out the other. But no, though Mugen rests openly on his hip, he isn't going to threaten him. What's the point, here, when there was no Allen Walker to fight over?

The Gods had given them a common goal: Get the fuck out.

At the question though, he gives a nonchalant shrug, though it's rather clear that it's irritating for Kanda to admit: ] Three months or so. Seems longer.

[No Allen Walker does leave the two of them pretty directionless, and as much as Link doesn't want to go along with whatever games these "Gods" seem to want to play, it looks like they don't have much choice.

Three months, though? It's definitely been less than three months since he's seen Kanda. Like... way less, but if this place is outside their world, why not outside time as well?]

So all of this. [He pulls his phone out of his pocket, gesturing with it as if the little device and the explanation within can sum up their entire situation.] It's all true?

[ What a sad couple of guys they were, allowing a kid to move and direct their lives. But no, no there wasn't necessarily much choice in their participation. Unfortunately.

It'd sure as hell would make since, considering if it had been three more months for him "missing" from the Order, Lenalee and Marie would be in majorly deep shit. He couldn't in good conscious just leave them to suffer the consequences of his actions, after all. He owed them more than that.

The way he just gestures to the phone gets Kanda to raise a brow. ] Yeah, it is. We're at the whim of people who declare themselves Gods, with another on the way.

[No one can resist the pull of Allen Walker for long.

Lenalee and Marie don't need any more trouble than they already have to deal with, so let's just go with the current time shenanigans as presented. Also, don't look at him like that, Kanda. A "god" left a message on this newfangled communication device and Link needs more than a text message to flow with something like this.]

... Have you been to the caves?

[ Oh, he still hates the guy, even if he owes the beansprout quite a bit.

Totally giving the look. Look, you know by now Kanda doesn't believe in shit. He sure as hell doesn't believe the people who claim themselves to be Gods as such. But, anyway: ] A couple of times, yes. Not necessarily somewhere to go alone. [ He says it as if he's done it despite being warned against it.

Oops :D ] Even if you can hold your own. There's other monsters in there, who knows exactly how many.

That's where they send them, after they bring them here along with the lot of us.

[Tell yourself all the lies you want, Kanda.

Link doesn't believe there are gods here either, but man, some weird shit is happening. He needs to get his facts straight, okay? Also, not at all surprised that Kanda would head into dangerous caves alone.]

There were giant spiders when I arrived. [Just fyi, man.] Has no one tried to organize a search party?

[ They're not lies, you stupid dog. 8|

Definitely weird shit happening. But hey, props to Christ for trying to dissuade him...poorly, but the guy tried. Thankfully Kanda didn't make it far before he thought better of pressing on. Until later. But hey, now that Link was here, they could have Cave Hunting Parties™.

Just going to raise a brow at the mention of spiders. Well, that certainly sounded better than random chests everywhere. ] For what? We're all stuck here, humans and monsters alike.
