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!

► This log covers September 10th-13th.
► 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!

"You got demons where you come from?" There's a very faint glint of interest in the depths of those eyesockets, his air sharpening almost imperceptibly. With the not-so-recent revelation that Chara's been going around calling themselves a "demon," he's suddenly gained a much more sustained interest in uncovering what that's all about.

"How so?"
heartintheflames: (What...?)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-13 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yea, they're... kind of everywhere. The first one I saw was picking on this little girl."

Rin gives a sigh. That was when any sense of normal he had went completely out the window.

"Well, like I couldn't t-" Eee-oops. "Uh... I couldn't fight them like the ones back home. I'm an ExWire, uh... Exorcist in training. But none of the stuff from home works on them." Not like he's trained in much else than fighting with his sword; but still, that was close. He needs to pay better attention.
skelebro: (sup)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-13 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Exorcist, huh?" Yeah, he's got only a vague idea of what that means in the context of human culture. Much as Rin might seem uncomfortable with the topic, that ain't exactly Sans's greatest concern. He's more interested in the topic than he is in preserving any sense of conversational comfort.

"So what do demons look like where you come from?" he rumbles companionably, as easily as he might ask about the weather. "Like people, or somethin' else entirely?"
heartintheflames: (Damn...)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-13 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I guess that depends on the demon." Rin tilts his head in confused thought. "There's a lot of people who have half demon blood and look human. Even a lot of Exorcists." People like him.

"But, I've seen all kinds. From Goblins to Plants to Coaltars, even Kuro is just a two-tailed cat. Where I'm from, you can't see them unless a demon has done something to you, like scratched you."

Rin might have wondered why Sans was so curious, but... talking about the demons he knows both made Hadriel more real and made him homesick.
skelebro: (they downgraded to a fuckton)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-13 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
He digests that silently - purely metaphorically, naturally, lacking the requisite organs to digest anything in the conventional sense - as he considers Rin's words at length before speaking again.

"So you've never seen full demon that looks like, say, a regular ol' human." Maybe he's leading a little too much, but color him curious. He's yet to meet a demon that fits the description of Chara, even if they got red eyes and a strange smile he's not sure he likes the look of.
heartintheflames: (Come on man...)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-13 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Rin has to stop and think for a moment.

"Well, there was one guy who stole my sword. He was pretty creepy looking, but he looked just about as human as I do. But his power was... definitely not human." The memory recall causes him to groan under his breath. It was frustrating to have his sword stolen and his ass kicked so thoroughly. "So, it looks like they can. He's like no other demon I fought. Way more powerful."

Of course, he doesn't have verifiable proof that this guy was full demon. It's just his best guess.
skelebro: (im always smiling)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-13 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Sans hums his acknowledgment, but doesn't say anything else. The more he's hearin' about these demons, the less he's convinced that Chara's really anything of the sort, but he...well, he's probably to blame for that old chestnut, huh? It'd really help them out if they kept pretending to be one, huh?

He doesn't have to feel his sins weighing on his neck. They're just kinda always there.

"So, s'that what you're doin' here? Huntin' and fightin' and whatnot?"

Hello uninspired subject shift, how are you doing today?
heartintheflames: (Come on man...)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-13 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, sort of? On my first day here, a really cool Hedgehog helped me out when I was fighting this... huge creature. He really saved my skin. I thought I could do the same for other new people. Just... what's in there isn't really dangerous, completely different from the first on I fought. When it felt like bullying, I left."

Rin gives a frustrated shrug.

"I don't like killing things unless I have to. Even demons have a right to live if they aren't hurting anyone."
skelebro: (itches are an abstract concept)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-13 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, y'mean Shadow." He doesn't know any other talking hedgehogs with attitude problems. Or any other talking hedgehogs at all. Or just...hedgehogs.

Still, the kid's personal philosophy is one that Sans finds appealing, for a plethora of reasons. He watches Rin, unblinking for a time.

"Not a lotta people who'd do that," he says, doing a damn good job of burying his mild surprise. "Most would just call 'em evil and be done with it."
heartintheflames: (Default)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-14 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Yea! That was his name!" Rin laughs a bit as he remembers the grumpy little guy. "Said something about being his world's ultimate lifeform, or something."

Well, if Rin would call them evil and be done with it, that would be alot like the pot calling the kettle black.

"I don't like to see anyone suffer. Nobody should have to go through that." He scrunches his face as he remembers his own suffering, and how he'd make sure nobody would lose anyone the way he did. "Besides, if I felt that they were all evil, I wouldn't have Kuro." Who's... probably wherever his friends and brother are. He has no idea.
skelebro: (here today gone tomato)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-14 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ultimate Lifeform, that's right. Quite the auspicious title for someone who couldn't be much taller than Sans, but Sans would know better than anyone that size ain't any indication of worth or skill. Or potential danger.

"Kuro a friend of yours?" says Sans, rummaging in one of his jacket pockets for something to snack on. He comes up with a packet of relish, which he tears open and squeezes into his mouth in one fluid motion.
heartintheflames: (Huh?)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-14 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Rin's eyes widen a little as Sans just downs a relish packet. Just... What? How can you eat that straight, dude? That's just... gross different...

"Uhh..." Rin has to snap himself out of staring. Maybe it's a skeleton thing... Or maybe it's just a personal thing. Rin's not judging, it's just weird. "Kuro's a demon, a two-tailed cat that can change his size. He's pretty cool. He used to be my old man's familiar."

Kind of weird how he never met Kuro before Shiro's death, actually...

"But, yea, he's my friend. He's pretty awesome." Rin can't help but smile.
skelebro: (it's raining somewhere else)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-14 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"He in the city or anything?" Unperturbed by Rin's reaction - or possibly enjoying it just a little too much, can you blame him? - Sans crumples up the empty wrapper and shoves it into his pocket.

Yeah, he wasn't super hungry, but it was worth the sight gag and the reaction he got from it, so sue him. Actually don't sue him, though, he's got absolutely nothing to his name but a couple packs of ketchup and a great poker face.
heartintheflames: (Damn...)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-16 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Rin's face falls a little.

"I haven't seen him yet, or my brother, or anybody. Jo showed me how to make a post on the Network, but no one's answered yet."

He pulls the phone out of his pocket and stares at the empty screen, letting out a sigh before pocketing it again. There was still tons in this world that doesn't make sense to him.

"What about you? Any friends here?" Sounding kind of hopeful to find his friends some way.
skelebro: (i won't grace it with a description)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-16 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Couple of kids." He cracks open one eyesocket to regard Rin with a neutral grin, revealing nothing, nothing to the veritable storm of frustration conversations he's had with the pair of them, with the inevitable maelstrom that lies ahead. But brave ones, foolish ones...something something the middle road, right?

"Don't know either of 'em real well, but we're from the same place." Which makes the pair of 'em all he's got, so to speak. Ain't that grand. "So, y'know. You never know when someone you know might pop up, yeah?"
heartintheflames: (Don't worry.)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-21 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yea," Rin smiles at Sans. It would be nice; he bets everyone is worried sick, especially Kuro and Yukio. Guess he'll just have to wait and see.

"So, tell me about where you're from. Are there other cool skeletons that run around and tell jokes?"

Rin quickly trades his somber attitude for an excited one. He bets it's got to be pretty cheerful for the way Sans comes across.
skelebro: (i've been writing on your ghost page)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-21 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just my bro," says Sans with a cheerful shrug. "And he is definitely way cooler than me."

That ain't even really a contest. Nobody who wears that many pairs of sunglasses and believes so completely in everyone and everything can possibly be topped in sheer coolness factor.

"But he kinda really hates jokes," Sans adds in a confidential undertone, even if it's not strictly speaking true. Papyrus likes to put up a cheerfully annoyed façade, but he loves those horrible puns as much as Sans does.
heartintheflames: (Default)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-09-26 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow, I wish I could meet your brother! He sounds great!" Rin thinks for a moment, recalling that Sans said he only had two people from his world. He doesn't remember the brother being one. Sad... "I bet you miss him alot, huh?"

Rin gives a laugh.

"Man, how can he hate jokes? Jokes are the best! Is he like super serious or something?"
skelebro: (take the easy road)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-26 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Best brother ever," he says like it's a fact of life, which it is, and shrugs noncommittally. "Coolest dude you'll ever meet. But, nah. He doesn't really hate jokes. It's just part of our collective charm, y'see."

He spins a phalanx in an equivocal gesture in the empty air in front of him.

"He's tall, I'm short. I make the jokes, he yells at me for makin' the jokes. It's kinda our thing."

heartintheflames: (Whoa...)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-10-01 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Cooler than Shadow?! No way! That's awesome!"

Rin has a list of cool people according to him. He'd definitely like to meet this guy if he ever gets the chance, someday.

"Oh! So it's like a flick!" (He means shtick.) "Does he join in your acts on stage?"
skelebro: (shrugs illustratively)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-10-01 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Shadow? Cool? That's, uh...well, he's entitled to his opinion. Sans won't begrudge him for that. But Papyrus is definitely cooler than any hedgehog he knows, just puttin' that one out there.

"Heh, nah," says Sans with a laugh. "He's the sorta guy that loudly heckles from the audience. Only he does it outta love, see. Plus, he's real bad at hecklin'. It's hard to pull that off when you're just - relentlessly positive all the time, y'know?"
heartintheflames: (Don't worry.)

[personal profile] heartintheflames 2016-11-08 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Rin tries to picture how that would exactly go. He can't imagine Yukio giving him grief for laughs. Shiro sort of did, though. But more to get Rin's fires going than anything. If Sans' brother was anything like Shiro, he could definitely see him as being a really cool guy.

"How can somebody be positive all the time?" he asks with genuine curiosity. Wouldn't life get in the way one way or another? He wouldn't mind learning that secret if he could. Being able to stay happy in every situation would be great and maybe he'd be able to make friends more easily.
skelebro: (take the easy road)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-11-08 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
"'Cause he's just that great." A cop-out answer? Yeah, pretty much. But this is Sans Rin's talkin' to - you're pretty much never gonna get a straight answer outta him unless you've done somethin' truly despicable. And even then, it's a fifty-fifty kinda deal.

"Might be hard to believe it, but once ya meet him?" Sans winks, his grin fond. "You'll see."
