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!

It means I won't die. I can be killed just fine, if I get to that point. I didn't make the rules.

[And there were so many rules? His curse was a lot more complicated now that he had to sort of explain it and he knew a little more about how it worked.]

It doesn't matter. If you get attacked while you're leading me out, I can heal you. Besides, you can get those weapons out pretty fast, from what I've seen.

That sounds terrible.

[He says pleasantly, if a little dismissively, putting his gun back in its holster. Warrick isn't exactly wrong. He steps back a little, and beckons.]

Follow me. I'll show you out to your new home for the foreseeable future.
purpleknee: (green like my corvette)

Great. I'm overjoyed.

[But ohhhh-kay, here he goes, dropping the shield. Still kind of expecting to die, but taking a deep breath and a step forward anyway. If he could go a few hours now without having to use magic, that would be wonderful...]

I didn't really like the housewarming party.
infinite1up: (Confident smiles)

[Wondering how fast that shield can come up, Sato's hand quickly snaps back to the holster... and past, to touch one of the bloody holes in his shirt.]

They do pack quite a stab. [He smiles, finally setting off through the hallways.] But they're not the worst creature around. Rather cute, I thought.
purpleknee: (that's the girl he chose)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-15 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeeep, a streak of green comes up, but it doesn't complete into anything more than that before he realizes Sato isn't trying to shoot him again.]

Oh sure, they're cute, but I'm a monster. Thanks.

[he's cute... right........]

What else is around?

[Sato chuckles, pleasant as can be, mental gears still turning away while he chats. He'll really have to invest more time into learning about magic, sooner or later. How it works... and how to stop it from working. Until then...]

Oh, there's plenty of friendly types to go with the monsters. And the 'gods', of course. Between all of them, there's never really a dull day around here.
purpleknee: (with a green window)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-16 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[why...are you like this...]

Some of us like dull days. [...] So are they friendly to you, or am I included in this hospitality?
infinite1up: (Quirky smile #1)

[personal profile] infinite1up 2016-09-16 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, in general. It must be a case of adversity bringing people together.

[It's terrible, to be honest. How is he supposed to start any kind of conflict, when the only real possibility so far has be to challenge the gods... and nobody has a clue how to deal with them yet.

Sato keeps leading how down various twists and turns. Although he'd entertained the idea of bringing him back to the center of the colloseum, the tonberries were so slow, and it was clear the young man would just get away again. So he keeps to his word, finally bringing them to one of the exits to the city proper.]


Here we are. Safe and sound.

[Safe and sound, huh... Safe, sound, and underground with monsters, beings known as gods, and crazy old men with hand cannons. Supposedly, nice people were around somewhere. And hey, at least he didn't have to worry about rain, right... It's a little tempting to flee now, but turning his back didn't seem like a great idea, especially when he was so tired and sore.]

...Where is this...? Are we -- are we on Earth? Or another world?
infinite1up: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] infinite1up 2016-09-17 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
It seems to be somewhere new to everyone, short of the gods themselves. Quite the mystery.

[But he's too wound up to keep at playing nice. And if this fellow is effectively off-limits for now, there's plenty still going on in the collosseum.]

As much as I'd like to help you get familiarized with your new surroundings, I still have quite a few things to take care of in here.
purpleknee: (where the goblins go)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-17 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
...Right.

[Then he's just going to. Step aside. Awkwardly. Out of stabbing distance.]

Um. Good luck. Don't kill innocent people and don't die too many more times, I guess?

[He needs to go lie down after saying that.]
infinite1up: (Smiling faces)

[personal profile] infinite1up 2016-09-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha! I'll do my best.

I'm sure I'll see you later.

[More cheerfully-spoken but intentionally ominous words spoken, he waves and heads back off into the dimly-lit corridors.]
