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!

[Luckily for any awkwardness, the contact only lasts a moment, and then Corbin lets him go.]

Y' mean other'n them big scaly fuckers? There's more t' worry 'bout here?

He looks around, and then up at the roof overhead, as if hoping that now they're outside of the arena it's going to be actual sky instead of just stone and more rock overhead]

Jes' th' basics. Place t' sleep, where t' find food at, mebbe where I c'n get some clean clothes. That'd be nice.

[He's not hungry just yet, but he knows that it's good to know where these things are before you need them.]
unknowable: (so I like to keep my issues drawn)

As long as you don't go in the caves around the city, you should be fine. There are all kinds of monsters in there.

[But maybe Corbin can fight, or likes monsters, or something. Adam can't fight and definitely does not like monsters, so he does his best to avoid the caves - and the arena too, usually. He's got enough of a do-gooder within him to want to help out new arrivals, though.]

There are a lot of houses and apartments. You can probably take any of them that are empty, or find people to live with if you like that better. As for food and clothes... well, there's a bunch of these weird little shops around. You can pretty much take whatever you want from them.

[It's a nice setup, really, if strange.]

It's hard to find some stuff, though. I hope you're not a picky eater.

[Corbin pats the stock of the rifle slung over his shoulder absently and nods]

What kinda monsters?

[The tone is almost too casual, because he knows there are monsters that would kill you as soon as look at you, more like really nasty, angry animals, but he also knows that some of the "monsters" out there are more like his family and are just trying to get by. Not that he's going to hesitate shooting something that attacks him, or something that's really obviously not intelligent. But he's curious what Adam would qualify as a monster]

[He listens to everything, nodding along, but laughs at the comment about food, shaking his head]


Nah, I ain't picky. So long's there's food ah some kind, I'll be fine. Ain't expectin' a menu ah all m' fav'rites.

[He's a crow with a cast iron stomach. So long as it's not literal poison or trying to crawl out his throat, he'll eat it.]
unknowable: (just trying to keep it in line)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-08-27 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
The kind that try to eat you. They don't seem interested in being talked out of it.

[Before coming here, Adam was more familiar with the usual sort of monsters - regular old humans who did awful things. But he's friends with a ghost and he's no longer quite human himself, so the definition of 'monster' is a little shakier.

In this case, though, he's using it in a very literal sense.]


You'll do fine here, then.

[He ventures a smile, somewhat cautious.]

They put human meat in some of the food awhile back, but that hasn't happened since. Anyway, there's an orchard you can get fruit from if you're concerned.
crowboy: (Well shit)

[personal profile] crowboy 2016-08-31 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
[That made him stop, because why? From the look on his face he clearly can't tell whether to believe Adam or just think that he's pulling his leg.]

Who'd do somethin' like that?

[He might have to be a bit careful about what meat he got, he didn't mind a lot of things, but eating anything sentient was a bridge too far for this bird.]
unknowable: (I can see no way)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-01 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not that Adam would never tease someone like that - he would, if they were already a friend. But he's just met Corbin, and so he's much more careful, aware that he himself is not particularly good at making friends or making people like him. As such, he wouldn't lie about something like this.

But, of course, he totally understands Corbin's disbelief, or desire to disbelieve.]


The gods. Rage and Fear, that time. They want to make us feel their own specific emotion, and sometimes they do pretty awful things to make that happen.
crowboy: (Sulky crow)

[personal profile] crowboy 2016-09-07 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's quiet for a moment]

Shit. Well, yeah. Guess that'd do it.

[Because just thinking about it was making him kind of pissed off.]

[He wonders if you could punch a god.]


So, they still doin' that? It ain't right, fuckin' 'round with folks food like that.
unknowable: (it's always darkest before the dawn)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-10 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
The food's safe now.

[As far as he knows - though Adam figures he'd know by now, being here for months. It could change again, sure, but for now it's all right.]

They do other things, though. You'll find out soon enough - most of it's no good. Scaring us, making us sad, making us angry.

[He wouldn't mind someone giving the gods a few good punches.]

It always ends. You just have to get through it.
crowboy: (You gonna eat that?)

[personal profile] crowboy 2016-09-12 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Granny always said gods was more trouble than they was worth.

[Which was a bit odd for a boy wearing a St. Christopher's medal, but that's what Granny said and Granny didn't tell lies.]
unknowable: (can you read my mind)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-13 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
She was right.

[But that does sort of raise a lot of questions, all things considered. Adam gives him a measuring look.]

Why would she say something like that?
crowboy: (I want to fly)

[personal profile] crowboy 2016-09-29 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Granny's been 'round, 'cordin' t' her she's met all sorts a' folks.

[He raises an eyebrow]

You jes agreein' with 'er because ya been here? Or's it somethin' else?
unknowable: (I'm gonna turn this thing around)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-30 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't met any gods at home, if that's what you're asking.

[Strange, difficult to understand, incredibly powerful magical creatures - sure. Gods? Not yet. Hopefully not ever.]

The ones here are pretty bad, though. You'll find out.
