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!

[ushahin]

[He watches her turn the beast's mind with effort and smiles, approving of her power being used in such a manner. It doesn't harm the beasts. That he leaves to those who enjoy killing the monsters. The smile lights up his broken face, making the shattered bones look better than their usual homely appearance.

He answers her in turn. Yes. I am-- and the words he says next are --the Dreamspinner. The images accompanying the words presented in her mind are a man, unchanging in form throughout the years, walking along a road towards a sun that is either rising or setting, it is hard to tell.

He sees unfamiliar words in regards to herself and him; words like mutant and telepath. Their definitions, when it's gotten right down to it, are things that he understands. They are unique, even from the very different worlds they are from. She is young, but there is so much potential lying there under the surface. Out of all the people in Hadriel, Ushahin has found one worthy of being taught his strange gifts.]

[ He's a strange-looking man, this Dreamspinner, and she frowns at what he shows her, a whole new different world but somehow still kindred. He's not afraid of her even when a part of her still fears what she can do; the thing that stays caged inside of her, locked away after its most recent demonstration.

She studies him, curious and relieved that she could find someone like her, someone who seems to know more -- and perhaps is willing to teach. It doesn't harm the beasts, she learns, but more importantly, what she learns from him is:

Are you alone? ]

[ushahin]

[Aye. Alone The word conjures up sorrow, some of it as ancient as he is, the other part new and still hurting. He is quick not to let his emotions bleed over into Jean, sweeping them all back down into his mind. It's a place rather like a shattered mirror, each broken, fractured piece showing a little bit without the entirety ever coming to the surface. He is mad, but even his madness is a way to focus his powers.

He can feel the power inside of her, something lying dormant, which is far beyond what she currently possesses. It feels like fire to him, something that could burn this entire place down if she willed it. He should be afraid. But everything Ushahin has ever feared has come to pass, save for his own demise, and he finds himself merely in awe of Jean's powers. You are in a strange new place, young one. This city is filled with gods. He shows her a little of what he has learned: the city called Hadriel, the monster-filled caves, and the curiously formed housing.]
