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!

Obviously. Simply because you think something's fine, doesn't make it fine. I expect most here would agree with me. You can't go traipsing through people's heads and act as though it's all right because you didn't do any damage.

[ However rude it might be, Hermann's on the bring of turning around and walking away. On the one hand, that would be no less than the man going into his head. On the other, he had saved him. ]

Friedrich Nietzsche, isn't it? [ With a snort. ] You can't be from Earth, to know that?

[ Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein. He resents the implication, rather. Perhaps the Drift had threatened to actualize that. Something better leveled against Newton, really, only Hermann had gone too, that second time. There hadn't been a choice. Not if Newton would survive it. ]

Regardless, I've been clear. I answered your question, that's as much as I'll say about it. I'll thank you again, Mr...?

[They shall simply have to agree to disagree upon the subject of reading people's minds. It's not like Ushahin is going to stop simply after one conversation. He's had over a thousand years to justify to himself whatever reasons he needs to keep doing what he does.

He shrugs at the mention of Earth.] If Earth is where you are from, than no.

[He'd picked that up floating somewhere in Hermann's brain, somewhere between the echoes of monsters, a man, and all that math. It's one of the possibilities he thinks of. Ushahin sees patterns in things, in the way people think, and the way situations turn out. Having a monster in someone's head, even a dead one, is never a good idea.]

Ushahin. I am called Ushahin Dreamspinner. No need to introduce yourself. I already have your name.

[ Hermann's eyes narrow. As if they hadn't been already. ]

I'll do it all the same. Dr. Gottlieb. I'd say well-met, but at the risk of being rude, it wouldn't be true. But then, [ with a jeering tilt of his head, ] you'd know that, wouldn't you?

I'm not advising you to lie, Mr. Dreamspinner, and pretend you aren't doing it, but you might make a minimal effort not to do it, to save yourself the trouble. I'll say it again -- they'll agree with me. You'll make a lot of people rather unhappy with you, carrying on like that.

[ Having said his piece, he turns to consider the apparent exit, warily squinting up, attempting to spot any other creatures before venturing forward. ]
