Intro Log: Don't Wake Tonberry

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for September
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: September 10th-13th
Warnings: Cute monsters, a way to pass the time, and plenty of newbies!


Waking up in Hadriel certainly has its down sides, but if this weird murdercave city is good at one thing, it's keeping people entertained. As you awaken on the hard ground of the colosseum, you might see a rectangular cardboard box lying near you. Ignore it for now, as you get your bearings, but if you get bored? Well, you'll find these exciting and unique board games will keep you entertained!

But how could you possibly get bored, when there are plenty of cute monsters around to keep you company? Sharing the colosseum with all the new arrivals are Tonberries. In addition to their natural cuteness defense, they also carry very large knives. They're slow-moving and look innocent and even friendly, but be careful - one strike from that knife and you'll be a bloody mess. They won't attack unless you get too close, but who doesn't want to hug a Tonberry? And of course, if you attack, they'll counter with extreme prejudice.

Managed to resist the urge to hug a Tonberry? Safely escaped from the clutches of the colosseum, new board game in tow? Awesome! 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!

[Rin shrugs.]

Okay, man, if you say so.

[Rin indicates for Warrick to follow him as he leads the way. He'll look over his shoulder occasionally to make sure the guy is still following him. He gives a laugh.]

'Circle of death!' That's a good one! Yea, there's plenty of safe places here. Mostly. They got houses and stuff for free, so it's pretty cool. And nobody complains if you're a kid and go in the bar. I like it, at least.

[He trudges along behind, keeping a fair bit of distance between them just in case and still holding onto the stupid box, which jangles from loose pieces inside.]

That's not really a selling point for me. I'm twenty-seven and haven't had a drink in the last seven anyway.

[Houses, though...]

You don't have to do anything to stay somewhere?
heartintheflames: (Default)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-12 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, Jo told me it was free. They have all the cooking supplies and stuff. Although... They're round? It's a little weird. But, it's free! You just have to find one available and it's yours. I got a two-bedroom one for when I find my brother. I'm going to tell him how responsible I am and that I can take care of myself. He'll be so impressed!

[Of course, the part with how responsible Rin is, it's a huge stretch of the truth. But he got one, so that's what matters, right?]

They have fruit trees here, too. I'm still trying to figure out how much of this town is free. But it's kind of nice here. Not too hard, at all.
purpleknee: (green like my corvette)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-12 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He just kind of hums at that information. He didn't need a space for cooking and fruit was out... He wonders if he should find a place with two rooms, too, for if Selva found him, or Emma. Maybe three, if it was both? But then there was Elaine, too, and Fred, Ben, Alice...

Urgh. And more. When did he get so many friends? A single bedroom was best for now. He'd worry about the rest in the future, even if it made him feel like this little kid really was more responsible than him. It feels...complicated to hear him talk like that. That's the only way he can describe it.]


Well, no one tried to chop you up just for being green, obviously.
heartintheflames: (Come on man...)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Rin turns to face Warrick, scrunching his face in confusion. Where the Hell did that come from?

"Hey, the people here are different. No one's chopping up anybody. Especially not for being green."

Besides, Rin's had his fair share of judgement and persecution. Being the son of Satan sure ain't a bag of sunshine and roses. Rin stuffs his hands in his pockets.

"You don't have to worry here. No one's out to hurt you. Well, besides the monsters, like the ones in the Colosseum." Rin's tone is even and sincere. He's not going to let you feel alone, man.
purpleknee: (and outside)

I'm talking about here! After I got stabbed by those lizard people, some old man called me a monster.

[Like, he wasn't human anymore thanks to his curse, but come on. He hadn't stolen anything from anyone here! ...Yet. Maybe. He did kind of feel like they deserved it.

Man, he needs to find Emma.]


He had an axe and a small cannon. He tried to use them even after I told him I wasn't like that.
heartintheflames: (Damn...)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-13 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"An axe and a small cannon?" The first Rin's heard of this guy. Rin gives a sigh.

"Okay, most of us aren't like that. It's okay. Everybody is really nice." Not that he's revealed his own secret to anyone here. And listening to this guy's experience kind of shows that maybe he should keep it that way.

"The old guy was probably confused." Rin sounds less convincing at that last part. It bothers him that this guy was just attacked for no good reason.

purpleknee: (sing it high)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-15 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph.

[He definitely wasn't completely sane, as far as Warrick's concerned, but he didn't seem confused in the least. He seemed very convinced. Still, Warrick continues to trail behind.]

Is it like a...group? Of people like us?
heartintheflames: (What...?)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-16 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well... people like us, I guess. Like, there's a Super Hedgehog, and a Skeleton, this kid who pretends their a ghost. A brat with a scar on his face. They're all kinds of people."

Sort of like a band of misfits, he supposes.

"Take some time to explore. I'm sure you'll find more to like than to hate."
purpleknee: (i'm green)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-17 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods slowly, finally dragging his gaze away from Rin to look around more -- not that there's a lot to see right where they are.]

I was with a team sort of like that. People from all over, doing different jobs, but trying to do good for the world... I was just starting to get used to it.
heartintheflames: (Don't worry.)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-21 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, you never know, you might find them here."

Because Rin's hoping he will. He's been looking for his friends since day one. And he hasn't had any luck... Rin mentally sighs. He gives Warrick a grin.

"I mean, stranger things have happened in this place. Don't worry about it. Just take care of yourself as best as you can. That's what I've been doing."
purpleknee: (i have a green house)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-21 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Not the whole group. This place probably doesn't have the space for them. But the team I was on wouldn't be too bad.

[He does note that the likelihood is low, given Rin's words, but... Okay. Taking care of himself. He can do that. He's been doing that for a long time already.]

...How long have you been here? Do people ever get to leave?
heartintheflames: (Whoa...)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-23 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Rin's jaw drops and he gets close to Warrick.

"Wow, you must have a lot of friends! You must be really popular!"

Rin wishes he had that many friends, sometimes. But, his attitude, not to mention he never graduated middle school. He doesn't exactly have the skills to make a lot of friends.

"Hmm... only a month." Rin thinks on the last question. He really hopes people get to leave. Or else he's going to have problems. "Y'know, I never thought to ask..."

So, he doesn't have a clue. Sorry, Warrick.
purpleknee: (with a green little window)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-23 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[UM]

Oh, no -- no, not at all, really. It was... It was just sort of like a company, that's all. [...] I...do have more friends now that I'm there. More than I ever thought I'd get, that's for sure.

[So weird... But nice. What isn't so nice is that next bit of news.]

You've been here a month and didn't ask...? Don't you want to go home?
heartintheflames: (Yea!)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-26 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Man, that's cool! Friends are awesome! Maybe I'll have that many someday!"

Y'know, in the hopes that maybe the 'Son of Satan' thing doesn't become an issue. He worries about that alot actually.

"Of course I want to go home. I've just been... busy." Taking care of yourself and trying to find friends for a month is hard, okay? Cut him some slack.
purpleknee: (i have a girlfriend)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-26 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...sure you will. You seem nice. It just takes time.

[what is this pep talk???? Warrick has no idea how to do this.]

If strange things really do happen a lot, then I guess I can't blame you. [but to not even ask tho...] I just...need to get back.
heartintheflames: (Default)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-10-01 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Man, you really think so?! That's so awesome, thanks!"

Rin is easily bought by words. How nice of you to compliment him, Warrick. You'll keep climbing his coolness ranks at this rate.

"Yea, you're right. I need to, too." A month is a pretty long time to be gone. He's sure everyone's worried on some level back home. Rin smiles at Warrick.

"I'll find out what I can and let you know!"

[Oh, good... Normal Warrick thinks that's cool, but heartless Warrick won't be as endeared by precocious teen without friends, unfortunately. Curse curses and the short temper they afflicted him with...!]

I'd really appreciate that. And if you could keep your eye out for a few people? Would that be too much trouble?
