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.

[ When they talk about technology, Victor's eyes just light up. This is a man who goes out of his way to keep up with developments in electricity, the idea of technologies that he hasn't seen before is just mind-boggling. ]

I have no idea what a television is, but I assume this "smart phone" is some sort of corruption of the telephone? I've heard of Bell's creation, though I haven't actually seen one in person.

[prespangled]

Yeah. We use them to talk to each other across distances here. No wires or cords or anything. You can actually see who you're talking to through the video too. And text - it's like typing on a little screen.

[It's all still kind of crazy to Steve too, but also sort of wonderful. He glances over, catching the other man's intrigued expression.]

There's big things ahead of us, Doc. But I don't think they've perfected the flying car yet.

My world hasn't even perfected a "car" yet.

[ What's a car? Fuck if Victor knows, he's too busy dreaming of smart phones and how eventually he'll take one apart and oh man, who knows what it'll be like. ]
