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.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

[Newt blinks, tilting his head up to get an eye for the temple] Huh. Do they all have temples? [but he's moving to enter after her, looking around at the interior.]

They do.

[ Arya follows. She hasn't been in Hope's temple much, not since the last extinction event. It always makes Arya feel a little warmer inside, and while she doesn't trust that feeling one bit, it's still nice, sometimes. ]

Some gods have other things, too. Rage has an armory, and Delight has a bar.

So...things that would help possibly fuel more of their particular emotion. Are they like the embodiment of the emotion or something? Why do they need us?

[because if Newt knows anything about suspicious omnipotent beings with too much power, it's that they don't keep you around unless they need you for something.]

[personal profile] whichend 2016-07-13 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Fear wants the power for...something.

[ Arya pauses. Does he want power for power's sake? Arya has never bothered to ask, but the question nags at her now. ]

Hope wants the power so he can wake the other gods. Fear and Hope are fighting each other. We're just their pawns, I suppose.

So...we're basically living batteries for these guys. [Newt's mouth twists in a scowl, looking around the temple again] That's really not my idea of a good time.

[personal profile] whichend 2016-07-13 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Arya isn't sure what a battery is, but she gets Newt's point. She chuckles briefly, quietly, bitterly. ]

You're not here to have a good time.

[Newt can't help but choke on a laugh at that, and it's really not funny but he can't help it. Laugh or cry.]

Kid, considering we were greeted with spiders and a freaky bloody colosseum, I wasn't actually under the impression that this place was gonna be a good time.

[personal profile] whichend 2016-07-15 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Arya just stares at him. She doesn't get what's so funny, but she does get what isn't funny -- and she knows of people who laugh like that when things are hopeless. Arya has never been one of those people. She'd rather do something constructive, like putting swords through things. ]

At least you didn't have bears. The bears were bigger. Although I suppose they did provide meat, which was good, since when I arrived, we hadn't worked out how to get food yet.

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-07-16 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[say the what now?] okay, yeah, bears sound pretty awful. [but also--] Wait---so you didn't have food before? What happened?

[personal profile] whichend 2016-07-18 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Some of us went hungry. I tried to fish the lake, and I ate bear meat and acorn paste. [ There's a nonchalance to Arya's tone that suggests she's done this before. ]

Are you done here? I don't like to stay in the temples long. The gods have too strong a presence here.

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-07-19 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Newt's mouth twists at that--he knows intimately what hunger is like--and he's glancing around the temple one last time, eyes narrowed, before turning to leave] Yeah. Let's get out of here. I can't say I'm a fan of it either.

[personal profile] whichend 2016-07-20 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Arya wastes no time getting a safe distance away from the temple. She's headed in the direction of the shops, and Newt is free to follow her if he likes. She figures they're a good thing to see, but he can also probably find stuff on his own if he tries hard enough. ]
