hadriel_logs | 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!

[ 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. ]

Whoa... [ That pink guy threw a ball and stuff went BOOM! How did he do that? Could he have a boom-boom ball? ]

[ But he doesn't have time to admire for long. As the Deathclaws rush up from behind, Goku spins around to face them off. He rushes forward, yellow Crocs slapping against the floor, and he leaps up to meet the monster face-to-face with a swing of his little fist. When it collides, the Death claw goes spiraling up and back, crashing into the others like a bowling ball to pins. ]

[ Goku hops back, back pressed against Donuts. ]

We gotta get outta here...!

Don't worry, little buddy. Double-O-Donut has your back.

[ He sounds cheerful, maybe a little too much considering their situation, but Donut is never one to let things like this get him down. Besides, he doesn't have time to waste here. It's almost 3 o'clock and that's his wine and cheese hour. He can't miss that! So, he unstraps his gun from his back. ]

Hey, you! I've got something for ya!

[ And starts shooting. ]

[ The shower of bullets that rain down upon the Deathclaws is, in short, amazing, and Goku watches with an open expression as the bullets fly right over his head and viciously penetrate through the monsters. Amazing! So cool! It's just like... ]

[ And his brain recalls a head of blond hair that was like the sun. A hand with a gun that fired shot after shot, fearing nothing. It... ]

[ That was the sight... that he wanted to see again! ]

[ The Deathclaws stopped moving. Goku looked up to Donut. His golden eyes were wide with wonder. He... he couldn't speak. Because...]

[ He missed Sanzo so much... when was the last time... someone reminded him of his sun? ]

[ Deathclaws lay strewn across the ground in the aftermath. Those that tried to charge them ended up in puddles of red while their brethren fled further into the tunnels escaping with their lives. ]

Don't make me come back here!

[ He yells at the fleeing creatures as he sets down his weapon. ]

[ Goku blinked a few times as the monsters fled. He looked up at Donut with Midas gold eyes. ]

I think they're gone now. For sure. [ Because... ] Th' gun you have is pretty scary. And kinda cool...

Oh! [ And now that danger was passed, his eyes lit up. That's right! Introductions! ] My name's Goku!

What's your name? Are you wearing armor or are you made of metal? Where didya get the gun? How old are you?

It is, isn't it?! Sarge always says the best weapon is the one that makes your enemies tremble in fear.

[ He puts the gun away and sets his hands on his pink hips at the introduction. ]

Hi, little buddy.

Name's Double-O-Donut! I've got a license to thrill or be thrilled!

Double-O-Donut...? But there's only one of you... [ But the name...! ] Is your name really Donut? I really like donuts! Hakkai makes the best donuts!

[ He has... no idea what a license is... but he knows what thrilled means! He likes being thrilled, too. ]

I don't gotta neat weapon or anything... but I knew someone who had a gun. [ But back to the question he really wants to know. ]

Are you wearing armor? Or are you like, a big metal person?

Yup. Franklin Delano Donut. That's what my mom's called me when I was in trouble.

[ A turn of his helmet. ]

Really? Who?

Sanzo. He's th' one that saved me. But he's not here. [ And what a sad monkey this one is about it. ]

Are you gonna be okay, Donut? There's a Lotta monsters here. If not, I can punch them for ya!

Oh. He sounds like Sarge. [ He puts his hands on his hips. ] Sarge is my commanding officer and no matter the danger he never leaves a man behind. [ A pause. ] Well, except for Grif.

[ He looks at him. ]

This Sanzo sounds like a neat guy.

[ He nods. ]

Oh, you have to worry about me. I've been trained for this! I've got so much potential I can fill up a couple of other soldiers potential!

Sanzo's the best. And he's really pretty. [ Goku looked around at the slaughtered monsters, before looking back up at Donut. ] Are ya gonna be okay?

You should probably look for a house or an apartment in one of those twisty towers. Bad stuff happens here all th' time, so it's best if ya gotta base.

Oh, I already got a base.

It's Red!

[ He looks around for a moment. ]

Know of any place like that around here?

Edited 2016-07-18 02:34 (UTC)

Red? Um...

There are a lotta bloody places. But nothin' that's a red base.

...Is that from your home? Cuz you're not home anymore. You're in Hadriel.

Hadriel? Is that a city in Chorus?

I'm not really from around that place so I don't know any of the cool tourist attractions yet. [ He looks around. ] But... I wouldn't really call this place a tourist trap. It's more like a haunted mansion at a carnival.

I dunno. All I know is that we're in a cave n' there are gods n' stuff. And monsters everywhere. [ he tilted his head a bit. ] And trees that grow weird fruit. But they're still tasty!

...Are carnivals haunted? [ Donut you're gonna undo all the tutoring this child has had so far and make him stupid again ]

Fruit?!

[ He immediately spins around to face him. ]

Can we get some?!

[ NOW he was talking. Goku's eyes widened. He wanted to get food? With him? HE LOVED FOOD. ]

Yeah!!! There's all kinds! There's apples but not apples so I call then napples! And there are these bananas but they're not bananas so I call them banonos. [ And Goku took his hand, pointing in the general direction of the orchard. ]

Let's go! I'm hungry.

Napples? They sound delicious.

[ He followed behind the kid letting him lead him to the fruit trees, while asking what other neat food they had around. ]
