Intro Log: Eight Legs No Heart

[hadrielmods]

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!

[There's very little in the way of dirt and blood thanks to magic technology shenanigans, but luckily the bone hasn't broken the skin. It just acutely fucking sucks.]

Huh. That sounds a lot like where I come from. Except instead of a warm, humid jungle it's a hot, stinking desert. Lots and lots of dangerous animals.

Were you on Earth?

[This will hurt a bit - his fingers are deft and the most cautious that he can make them, which still means that he applies just a fraction too much force, but he needs to feel out what's going on under the skin and if the bone can be set naturally/if there is nerve or sinew damage under there that he will have to use magic to heal. Working below skin with conventional means but no med bay makes things very complicated and the chances that the injury will be as new afterwards fairly slim.

And he's been taught to make people talk about something that they can talk about easily when doing painful things like these, because they'll notice the pain less, or too late.]

[It's an oblique fracture; easy enough for him to locate along her ulna, and she winces when he finds it. The wound is beaten up and tender from her general lack of care towards it, but she's no stranger to broken bones, and is handling it all fairly well.]

Not... quite. It was a planet called Pandora.

[She's still not used to everyone only having one planet.]

Where I come from, people travel through space all the time. There are humans living on all sorts of planets, and a lot of Vault -- ah, treasure hunters come to the one I live on.

[muscovy]

Did you travel to other planets, too?

[He's only really travelled between the stars, not so much between planets - the only ones that he's ever been on he didn't go to voluntarily, and never through means that were in any way... conventional. And he's not sure if half of them even count as planets. After all planets seem to be what you go to from the outside, the way people use the word...

Once she starts to answer, he will arrange her arm on the box, grab a ruler and some bandages, place the ruler next to the arm so it aligns with it, quickly make sure that she sits safely enough that she will not fall off it if she passes out, and then as quickly and carefully as possible rearrange the bones to sit against each other properly again, using just a bit of healing magic to align all ends properly and reattach them, even though the connection won't be particularly stable yet - that would have taken way too much strength. Just stable enough that it won't easily slip into a wrong position again.]
