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!

[ And the staring couldn't get more hollow, until the line of Lir's brows turns upwards and tragic, and he murmurs a slow: ]

The cape is clean.

[ Pristine, in fact, if you manage to find enough of it to try between forefinger and thumb, amid all the tatters. But this appears to have been a great Affront that not even the fateful presence of... rocks... can soothe. ]

I am not a vagabond, sir.

Well, how am I supposed to tell? There's barely any of it left! Why are you even still wearing it?

[He thinks you're kind of a vagabond, Lir.]

[ For a moment — barely the one moment — he flinches, seemingly caught aback that an objection not only exists, but is, in fact, reasonable. ]

To... hold myself strong before wind and weather?

[ You know. With his tatters. The ones he has the decency to now release, so that they might return to their cape-like duties. ]

You said you came with the morning. Do you recall your path? I've yet to find the... way out.

Yeah, even if we weren't in a cave without either of those things, it's too ripped up to actually do anything. You should probably get rid of it. Makes you look like a vagabond.

[Ichigo's been spectacularly bad at reacting to people correctly today. He's been friendly to all the wrong people, and he's insulted all the ones he should probably try to be friends with. Well, at least he's consistent.

He'll get to the question in a second.

[ A... vagabond. And this, a cape carefully patched by good Molly's own hands. He bundles the ends of it in the fist of one hand, keeping them safely stored behind him, away from the critical eye. There, there, good cape. You needn't hear any of this. ]

I am sorry for the offence of my vagabond ways. [ But, notably, not sorry enough to give up his cape completely. A man must stand by his linen. ] You are brave to withstand them.

[ The sad thing is, it's all said with a straight face. ]

[What is it with the people who wear capes? Is it just that only a certain kind of person does it in the first place? Or does wearing a cape make you slightly insane?]

Whatever. If it's that important to you, you can keep it.

To answer your question, no, I don't remember how I got here. I woke up in the dirt just like everyone else. But I heard from an old guy that the reason we're here is that a bunch of gods brought us here with magic they don't really understand, and there is no way out. Even the caves at the edge of town just loop around back here, and on top of that, they're full of monsters.
valiantabsurdity: (just a pinch)

[personal profile] valiantabsurdity 2016-07-15 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ For the shortest moment, as he listens through the young man's explanation, Lir almost excuses his cape of further pinching and squeezing and alternative manhandling.

The almost proves critical as the introduction to their fine underground city nears its end, and Lir starts playing with the ends of his cape again, fussing with how they fall. ]


Then... have we been chosen for a quest that is not ours, that we do not know, that we do not love and that is of no concern to us?

That's a weird way to put it, but yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Except I'm not sure I'd call what's in store for us a quest.
