hadriel_logs | 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!

[At least she understands and doesn't seem offended. That's good. He hasn't been around long enough to really trust in anything people call 'magic' yet, after all. Maybe with some empirical testing, he'll get there.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carr. Yes, I'm a doctor. I was a trauma surgeon, but hopefully there's not much call for those around here.

[Especially given the lack of proper supplies.]

[Course she understands. And both of them have people's best interests at heart, so it's not as if either of them is trying to be mean, right?]

Call me Faith, Dr. Tam! Sounds like you were quite the star back home. [She's super impressed. Not having been one who had to study or practice a lot beyond combat training with Alicia, it's always amazing to meet people who've applied themselves for years to their job.

She's not sure she would've, or could've done the same if she'd had to.]

Mm, right, right. Much as it's good to have someone like you 'round, I hope no one needs that much help. Though I did hear death's not permanent. But the pain'd be awful!

[There's a brief flicker of something wistful, almost pained in his eyes for just a moment. A star. He used to be. A star on the rise, up and coming. But then River...but it wasn't her fault, and it wasn't important. Not anymore. All that mattered was keeping her safe, and standing by his oath.]

Nothing so glamorous, I'm afraid. I just want to help people.

[And let's just....seize that other topic of conversation shall we.]

Yes, I agree. While this place might have some...unorthodox occurrences, I'd really prefer not to test their limits. My job is to keep people alive, not let some so-called 'god' resurrect them.

[Oh no. That doesn't go unnoticed, the emotion that flickers in his pretty blue eyes. Damn, touched a sore spot already? She didn't mean to.

He doesn't seem to want to talk about it (can't blame him; they've only just met!), so she doesn't press the subject, smiling as he responds. That much -- wanting ti help -- she gets.]

I'd much rather a doctor try and keep people alive than some strange god revive them. Not to be ungrateful, though! It's good people get to come back. It's just... it's probably better if they never die at all, yeh?

[She pushes back the memories of the people who died in or for her quest, the thought that maybe she could've saved at least some of them.]

I'd like to help however I can, but I won't get in your way. Sound good?

Yes, precisely. I'd rather not rely on the favor of a supposed god. I took an oath, I can't just stand by and let people suffer.

[It's not her fault. She doesn't know him. And he doesn't know her, which is why he looks perhaps a touch guilty as he backpedals just a little.]

No, you aren't--I mean, you won't--I'm glad for the help. Truly. I'm just...not accustomed to the idea of magic. It doesn't exist where I'm from.

[Oh god he's so sweet. Just what Faith feels a doctor should be. Compassionate, really dedicated -- she likes him. She likes him a lot, and she's going to do whatever she can to make sure he gets to do his job.]

S'all right, doctor, there's even people back home who don't believe in it. [Faith is hard to offend.] I'm going go look 'round some more, see if there's anyone who needs you or me. I'll bring them over, yeh? And if you need me for anything -- I can fight, see! -- I've got one of these phones here, so just give me a shout and I'll come back.

Oh--yes, that's fine. Absolutely. Ah, thank you. And if you need any help, I don't have anything like magic, but I'm still a decent medic.

[A faint, slightly self-deprecating smile. At least she doesn't seem upset by his seemingly constant foot in mouth. That's...refreshing.]

[Faith snickers. Her body heals itself, but he's being nice, so she won't shoot his offer down.] Gotcha, doc.

[With a wink and a wave, she heads off to see if anyone needs a heal or a helping hand in a fight.]
