Intro Log: Don't Wake Tonberry

[hadrielmods]

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!

let's just buckle in for the ride

( hugs are nice. he likes hugs.

and he has no idea that he's been mentioned already - if only because he tends to have a feeling of eh, it's not worth mentioning - but that look on her face, that knowing sort of thing that slips into her expression as easily as the spread of oil over water, it gives him the slightest bit of a heads-up, if you will, for the impending disaster that will surely befall him.

kate. why aren't you here. where are you.

THAT IS NOT AN INNOCENT FACE. THAT IS THE FACE OF THE DEVIL. and he happens to know him personally. ) We're - ( er.

f u c k. ) Friends.

[Well that's just rude! Faith's not going to unleash a disaster here. Maybe a bit of a fire, but what's wrong with heating things up? Can't she be happy for her friend? Can't she make friends with the tall guy who's clearly not just a friend?

Kate's busy, of course. That's a good thing. Meeting like this is a good thing! Faith's got to be sure you're a good catch. Trial by fire! (She's not sorry for that.)

WOW RUDE? Is he nice?]

Ah. [Her smile widens.] I see.

[Do you realize how much self-control it takes to not waggle her eyebrows? A lot.]

oh my god

[hollowly]

( he still has no real clue of what is about to come crashing down on him – because of course kate is busy, kate is always busy, and it's just his luck that she has a penchant for friends of the trolling variety.

wait. did she just mention something about fire? can we not have that during a first meeting?

he's horrible. the worst. you don't want to meet him. ever.

'i see.' does she really? the widening of that smile says yes, yes she does.

oh, hell. ) Look, I don't – want to get in the way of anything. I mean, you're clearly busy, and Kat is too – ( oh shit, he just called her kat. ) – I'll just come back later. At a better time.

( retreat. RETREAT. )

[When you're a lineface like Kate, you need cinnamon troll friends like Faith, sorry not sorry. (Faith really isn't sorry.)

Fire's good, though! Warm, good for cooking with, helps make tools. Come on, Sam!

Ew.

Oh no you don't!]

No no, chat with me til she comes 'round! [Oh my god he has a nickname for her? This is BIG!] I'm Faith, I'm new here.

[hollowly]

( cinnamon troll.

you know what, i'm leaving. i was not prepared for that. and neither is he.

fire is all well and good, but when the things catching on fire are relatively close to one's person, it tends to be more of a hazard than safe and warm. unless those things are marshmallows and they're going into s'more's.

and it's not exactly his nickname for her! it's from the dreamsharing nonsense! it's really not that big of a deal. yes it is. )

Sam. ( he breathes out, still manages to offer up a smile doesn't look terribly awkward. ) I got that much. I've been here for a while - the new ones always come through around this time. ( a beat. ) Has she given you the rundown of everything yet?

[avephoenix]

[ C:

Faith's good at controlling her fire, don't worry. Just be good to Kate and don't incur Faith's wrath, you'll be fine!

HUGE DEAL.]

Ah, a master of deduction! [Faith what are you even doing.] Pretty much, yeh. Why, there anything y'think she might've missed?
