Intro Log: Death Comes

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for July.
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: July 10th-15th
Warnings: Deathclaws. That's all you really need to know.


As usual, the new arrivals in Hadriel will be waking up on the dirt ground of the colosseum, and as usual, they won't be waking up alone. This month brings coat hangers of all shapes and, uh, sizes strewn about the colloseum floor around all of the new arrivals.

Get up, get out, meet and greet, find some new exciting interior decorating options, but don't forget about the more prominent threat: the (newly) local deathclaws roaming about in the inner halls of the arena. These deathclaws are vicious bipedal creatures with long arms ending in curved talons, horns ripe for goring and, of course, teeth as long as fingers. These animals have been engineered to be as deadly as they can possibly be, so you might want to buddy up before taking one on.

Have you escaped from the deathclaws? Made a few friends? Not died horribly? 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 July 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!

[Though their supplies are limited, Maketh has found the time to practice her shooting. By now, her aim has improved enough to unleash in a combat situation, and she's been sniping at the new monsters for nearly an hour when she spots the woman.

It's the hair that Maketh notices first. Deep, bright red - like Hux.

She lowers the rifle, though doesn't flick the safety off yet. Recent events have proven that human beings cannot be trusted - some of them are as insidious as the gods.]
Identify yourself.

[Maketh knows very well what image she presents - a woman in battered combat gear, a rifle held at the ready, and a brace over her right arm. It's recently been broken, yet unhealed, and studiously ignored. Pain is meaningless when there is work to be done.]

[Barbara straightens, lowering her own weapons to her sides. Generally speaking, guns beat hangers.]

Barbara. [Smooth and steady, as if there's no need to be anxious or tense. She considered an alias, but sometimes a lie ends up more trouble than it's worth.] Newly arrived.

[She nods at the rifle.] Have you taken any down with that?

[Barbara. She's calmer than most, with a smooth voice. If she's bothered by the gun at Maketh's side, she takes care not to show it.

Interesting. Maketh inclines her head.]
Maketh Tua. And I have. It's easier to shoot from a distance.

[Her relationship with guns is complicated. They're a tool of murder, in the hands of some; protection, in others. At the moment, Maketh falls into the latter category.

She smiles a little, wryly.]


Usually, yes. [She lifts the hangers slightly.] Bludgeoning isn't very efficient. If one is immobilised, though, I could probably finish the job.

Hmm. [A fighter, then. That's good. They could use more of those. Maketh smiles just a little.] I have no doubt of that. Has the situation been explained to you?
ladyofgotham: (Stubborn)

[personal profile] ladyofgotham 2016-07-11 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No. [There's an edge of wry frustration to her voice.] I woke up in the dirt, and there were monsters. [It's not actually the strangest thing that's happened to her, or the worst. What's galling is that she didn't choose it.]

You're in a place called Hadriel. [Maketh rocks back on her heels.] Somewhere on your person will be a phone, and a message that explains some of it. We are underground and cannot escape. I fear you will likely be here a while.
ladyofgotham: (Pensive)

[personal profile] ladyofgotham 2016-07-12 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[A slight nod; she'd discovered the phone, but didn't risk activating it.]

How far underground? No one's breached the surface at all?
mismanagement: (004)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-07-12 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
We're not certain exactly how far. [Not that they've been lax in trying. Maketh exhales sharply.] The things in charge here manipulate the terrain. The caves surrounding us change constantly.
ladyofgotham: (Pursed)

[personal profile] ladyofgotham 2016-07-13 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Wonderful. [Her brow furrows.] If we can map it out day to day, we might be able to find patterns in the changes.

[This one is quick. Maketh nods in approval.] We've been doing that for some time. A GPS system has been constructed to aid in that. However, the pattern continues to elude us.

[personal profile] ladyofgotham 2016-07-13 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[That earns an approving smile.] It's good to know people are trying. [She'll need to look into it.] Do you know how long this has been going on?
mismanagement: (Default)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-07-13 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Almost a year now. [Too long, by any account.] I've been here several months.
ladyofgotham: (Default)

[personal profile] ladyofgotham 2016-07-18 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[A year. Long enough to build some sense of community, but - ]

How well are people working together?
mismanagement: (004)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-07-21 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Better than expected. [That's true, but...

Maketh grimaces.]


Recent events have changed that. We are working to contain it.
