Intro Log: Death Comes

[hadrielmods]

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!

Donut | Red vs Blue

[glazedonutholes]

a. Arrival

[ Donut wakes up the same way he always does, mumbling: ]

five more minutes

[ Before hitting the snooze button that turns out to be some stranger next to him. If that doesn't wake them up, then sit down down and enjoy the cuddle-fest that ensues soon after! ]


b. Deathclaws

[ An unmanly scream echoes through the halls of the arena as Donut runs away from the Deathclaws and smack into you. The crash barely phases him and within seconds he's clinging on to you for dear life yelling:]

Don't let them eat me!!! I'm too young to die!

Damn these tender thighs!!!


c. Wildcard

[ Hit me up with anything you'd like! ]

Arrival

[dogsanddaughters]

Mister? Are you drunk?

[Miriam reaches out and prods the man with her stun baton. He's wearing armor. It's pink.

Barnaby sniffs at the man's hand, then promptly barks. Loudly.

Hello, stranger. Hope you don't mind waking up to the sight of giant, drooling Rottweiler.]

Arrival

[glazedonutholes]

[ The loud bark has him snapping his eyes open only to be confronted with a very large dog. ]

Umm... [His head tilts to the side taking in the animal.] When did we get a dog?

[dogsanddaughters]

He's my man. You didn't get shit.

[Miriam prods the man again.]

You gonna get up or not?

[glazedonutholes]

[ in a chirpy tone: ]

OH! Hi there. You scared me.

I didn't know we had guests. And a girl too!

[glazedonutholes]

[ Suspicious: ]

Wait a minute... are you in the right base?

3/3

[glazedonutholes]

I just know how much Blue Team likes recruiting girls~

B!

[perceives_sunlight]

[ Goku, who was playing around the arena as he normally did (after all, Hakkai worked at the clinic and Gojyo... did whatever, so they couldn't watch him all the time), let out a noise when something encased in heavy armor crashed right into him. The tiny boy doesn't even have time to fall. Suddenly, arms are around him--and screaming, lots of screaming. ]

H-hey, what's goin'-- [ And that's when he sees the hoard of Deathclaws tearing around the corner. His face pales for a split second. ]

...RUN-RUN RUN RUN RUN!!!! [ And he's yanking away, barely managing to pry himself out of Donut's arms. But Goku's small hand grabs the pink-armored wrist, and he's taking off away from the monsters. There are way too many of them to take on alone. Or so he thinks. He's strong enough. He's just a child though, and unwilling to take the chance unless he absolutely has to. ]

B!

[glazedonutholes]

[ He gets no argument from him. Donut on his part keeps on running letting him lead the way as the creatures crash through the hallway behind them making him flinch. ]

Go away! We don't taste good at all!

[perceives_sunlight]

I DON'T WANNA BE FOOD, I EAT FOOD! [ Is the return reply. It's going to end up being his mantra, eventually. Why were things so big and scary here? He whips around a corner, dragging his new found friend with him. ]

[ Only, of course, for a Deathclaw to clamor into the arena hall right in front of him. Goku skid to a stop, throwing out his arms to halt Donut. Trapped on both sides! ]

Uh-oh. [ Forward? Back? What to do? Kick tail? ]

[glazedonutholes]

[ Surrounded on both sides! What do they do!

---Oh right, he's a space marine! ]

Okay, that's it!

[ He steps in front of Goku to face off against the Deathclaw ahead. ]

No more mister nice guy.

Vas a llover, maiz con los niños!

[ Translation: You're going to be sorry (wash), picking (corn) on kids.

With that riveting declaration, Donut throws a grenade at the monster hitting it spot and detonating the explosive. The ensuing explosion destabilizes the tunnel and collapsing on top of it. ]

a

[muscovy]

[Muscovy barely escapes the guy suddenly sending a hit into his direction, but he does escape and while he doesn't walk away crouches down just out of the ...person's? arm's reach, opting to just watch him instead of prodding him again.

Does he always try to hit the person waking him up, or is he sick somehow? The fairy on his head chimes indignantly, or rather, rants at Donut in a voice that sounds like silver bells.]

a

[glazedonutholes]

Huh? [ bleary-eyed he rubs at his helmet ] Bells? [ He half-raises his head, still half-asleep. ] But I don't have my choker on.

[muscovy]

Why would you wear something with bells?

[...Seriously, why. He has no idea what a 'choker' is so it is even more puzzling why there would be bells on it.]

[glazedonutholes]

[ Wait... Did he just hear a kid? He instantly looks back expecting to see a giant blue alien when he spots the blond instead. ]

... Wait a minute, you're not Junior.

[themightykamina]

[HOLY SHIT A TINY GUNMAN

Oh, no, wait. Wait, that's just a dude in a tiny Gunman--sorry, in armor. He's still getting the hang of this whole, cover-yourself-in-metal business. Lowering the sword he was just about to skewer Donut with, Kamina instead grabs the guy by the shoulder, shaking him.]

Hey! Don't worry! The mighty Kamina is here to kick monster ass and take names! Where are they?!

[glazedonutholes]

[ Please don't skewer him! Do you know how long it takes to take all that dark red out of his light-red armor?! It's horrid!

Donut barely has time to register who he's run into before he's being shaken up by the guy and not in the good way. ]

Behind me! They were chasing after me in the---

[ The loud sound of a Deathclaw crashing through the hallway strikes terror into his heart and has him falling on his armored-butt, scrambling away. ]

Please don't eat us!

[themightykamina]

[See this is why Kamina runs around in only pants and some wrist wraps. So much easier to just change pants than to try and get blood out of stuff! Who does laundry when you're trapped in a literal cave of murder, anyway.

When the guy falls and scrambles back, Kamina looks surprised, but doesn't run. Instead, he plants himself between the armor guy and the new intruder, drawing his sword and shouting at the monster.]

Hey! You want a fight, I'll give you a fight, ugly! Let's go, you and me!

[He might not be all that bright, but at least Donut's got a barrier between him and the monster, right?]

[glazedonutholes]

Oh wow! Is that a sword! Is this one of those Dungeon and Dragon's LARP-things Simmons always talks about?!

[ He's standing up now, prancing back and forth behind him sounding a little too excited. ]

I wanna play! I wanna play! I can be the Queen of the Universe!

B

[pellameno]

[ The screaming in the colosseum is nothing new, and it draws Pell's in as usual.

Thing is, Pell's a tiny person and Donut is in full armor; he's going down when he's bumped into, but doesn't fight being picked back up and clung to. His eyes are wide, though, and he's stretching to see around the new person to see what's attacking. ]

--it's okay. Let me go and I can help.

B

[glazedonutholes]

[ He shakes his head vehemently, not letting go. ]

You can't go! You're too young to die! Choose Life!

Re: B

[pellameno]

[ You've got him sorta trapped, man. He's struggling a bit. ]

Then put me down so we can run?

B

[sisterincrime]

What the hell are you doing?!

[Sasha tries to yank herself out of his grip, but the Deathclaws suddenly pose a much bigger, more immediate threat. She's screaming too then - not as pathetically as Donut, more in surprise because what the actual fuck this is like the universe's most fucked-up Skag, and her Maliwan is already up and out to fire.

She barely needs a second to aim, and her bullets, despite their spread, manage to localise nicely on the Deathclaw's face, and lightning wraps around its face, making one of its eyeballs explode and it roars in blatant agony as it collapses mere feet from them. Sasha finally manages to yank her arm free and smacks a fist into the weirdo's visor.]

Move it, Tin Can! Before it gets back up!

B

[glazedonutholes]

[ Fist meets visor, and said tin can falls on his butt. But don't worry! It doesn't hurt! ]

Cool! Where'd you get that kick-ass lighting!

[sisterincrime]

I'll tell you when we're not at imminent risk of turning into monster chow!

[The last few words are delivered at a run, as she makes tracks away from the Deathclaw. If the guy's smart, maybe he'll follow.]
