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!

"Why not?"

Tomas never let her choose. Neither did Henrick. Mrs S took away choices too, then the bad mother doctor did more of the same.

Helena wanted her choices back.

[save_theworld]

Some people walk up mountains- some people get impregnated like bovine. Hard to say which was the freer choice, in the end.

"Because there's people here who really need our help, I think." They hope, otherwise- well. "We have to help them, first."

[the_avenging_angel]

Helena thought about that. She is trying to walk a new path, though it has been hard. Her old path keeps calling her back. Maybe she was trying to do something that was wrong. Maybe being here was right.

"Who are these people? Where are they?

[save_theworld]

"-I don't know." An uncertain shrug, a rueful twist to their mouth. Probably not what she wants to hear. "They um, they talk on the phone a lot. And they have temples we can go to."

[the_avenging_angel]

The phone part made sense - even Helena had a phone, or at least she did before coming here. But temples, that was something strange.

"How can we help them?"

[save_theworld]

-I don't know.

A pause, and a shrug. Too much hasn't actually been explained; to anyone here, by the sounds of things. But one thing seems like the right answer.

"I think we help just by being here. I'm helping by cleaning up, too."

[the_avenging_angel]

Helena thought these people should give better instructions. Even the nuns had been able to explain why she was wicked, why she needed to be punished. She did not like uncertainty.

"What is your name?" she finally asks. "I am Helena."
