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!

I'll do that, I guess.

[He sounds pretty uncertain about the prospect of having to appease someone in order to keep from being turned into a hat. It's not something Adam has had to worry about before, for all that his life has been strange.]

You could check the network. You might be able to find someone you know that way.

[He's looking out for him, really... "Wicked" Selva had 99 problems and Warrick was the cause of every single one.]

Network...?

[First he's heard of it. Doesn't understand the word entirely, either.]
unknowable: (would make my home her home)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-21 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Like, on the phones? You should have one.

[He pulls his out of his pocket, showing it to Warrick, and his next question is just a little more hesitant.]

Do you have phones where you're from?
purpleknee: (ding dong the witch is dead)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-21 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[He digs around in his purse depowered witch's bag until he finds the matching device and shows it to Adam.]

We didn't have them in Oz, no. But I've read about them in books, and Emma had a modern one sort of like this. I've...never actually used one.
unknowable: (maybe it's the heat in here)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-22 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oz?

[Well... okay, if that's where he's from, sure. Another phoneless place, apparently.]

They're pretty easy to use once you get the hang of them. You can use it to search the network and see if anyone you know is here - though I guess if they don't know how to use a phone, it'll be harder.
purpleknee: (of all that i wear)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-22 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[you got a problem with oz]

...Yeah. [Selva might break it. Hard to say.] Thanks. I'll do that.

[It'll take a bit before he's really used to the network, and by then he'll be pretty sure about being cut off from his friends. But the suggestion's appreciated.]
unknowable: (maybe it's the pressure)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-24 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

[He... guesses. Well, at least that's something helpful, right?]

Anything else you want to know about this place?
purpleknee: (and everybody around)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-24 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
...I suppose "everything" is too general?

[Hmmn... He props his chin against his knuckles on the side that isn't burned.]

Is there a library anywhere, or is that too much to hope for?
unknowable: (I wanna breathe that fire again)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-26 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
There's a lot to tell. I wouldn't know where to start.

[And a lot of it is pretty unbelievable.]

Yeah, there's a library, but more of the books in it aren't in a language anyone can read. You might get lucky, though.
purpleknee: (green like my corvette)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-26 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[what the hell ass]

Can't hurt to try, I guess... I don't come from Earth, like I assume you do. Maybe it's written in Ozite. Not that I would ever get so lucky.
unknowable: (open the door don't let it sting)

[personal profile] unknowable 2016-09-26 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's possible.

[But not particularly likely.]

You can see what you might find, anyway. None of us have made any progress at all.
