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!

[The fairy chimes, a sound like a dozen small silver bells ringing - he looks like he is talking but that is all the sound that comes out.

Muscovy supplies:]
He cannot talk properly.

[...He's surprised, though. Normally Pityo is ...very much a fairy. Him getting close to someone is rarely a good sign. But he looks almost positive now, like he's planning nothing that would annoy or harm the green guy.]
purpleknee: (here's a story)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-20 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Oh, um...

[Hmmn, it should be here somewhere in these layers of clothes... Ah, there it is. Warrick produces a small, silvery badge and shows the pair.]

It's supposed to have a charm in here that lets people from other worlds talk with one another... I mean, I doubt you speak Ozite, so that part's already working. Maybe with a little more focus, it will help me with him, too?

[And then, turning to Pityo fully:] If that's alright with you, of course. Your language is very lovely, so I understand if you'd want me to hear that, instead.

[gotta appeal to fairies, my dude]
muscovy: (from the east)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-09-22 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it will work. The nanites let me understand every language too, and I don't understand them.

[He pushes his sleeve up to his elbow and displays a tattoo that resembles scrambled zalgo text, about ten centimetres long.]

Maybe they are too much like animals.

[Pityo seems curious but also confused by what Warrick is trying to do and hovers a bit closer to him.]
purpleknee: (and everybody around)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-22 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[Dang, that's a disappointment. Warrick sighs and returns his Calliope badge to the inner folds of his coat, then leans over to inspect Muscovy's arm.]

That's too bad. So this is a magic brand...? Did it hurt?
muscovy: (just watching and listening)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-09-23 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
They say that it is technical, but the difference is only a question of point of view, yes?

[At least by what he has observed - his own healing abilities are essentially things that could be done by technical means if the equipment was just really, really advanced. And some things that he does entirely without magic seem magical to people because they just don't understand them.]

I was asleep when they applied it. In a gravity couch, that made sure that people didn't die when the ship jumped to a new location. Because it jumped so fast that everyone that wasn't in such a couch got thrown around and very broken, but some people were in them for much longer.
purpleknee: (da ba dee da ba daa)

[you know, he's starting to realize this child doesn't always talk like a child, this child is a little weird]

That...doesn't sound okay. At all. Like, any of it.
muscovy: (we're good)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-09-23 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[His head bobs as he nods quickly.]

It was very silly.

But then the ship crashed and the numbers on my arm broke and now they look like this.

[Which in his opinion is another reason to not make the difference between magical and technical creations that big.]
purpleknee: (green are the feelings)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-23 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[HOW IS THAT SILLY]

The numbers broke? Your arm was fine, though?

[them healing instincts]

What was it like before? And they still work okay...?
muscovy: (like a school portrait)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-09-23 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
They looked like letters and numbers. Everyone had a different one.

[He looks down at them.]

They still work. Not even the ship falling off the cliff broke them fully.
purpleknee: (with a green window)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-23 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[wh]

How did the ship get on a cliff?
muscovy: (from the east)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-09-23 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It crashed because we were attacked and some people forced a jump.

[If that sounds vague it is because he has very little idea of what actually happened. There was an ultimatum and fighting, and then when he woke up in his gravcouch they were in the middle of a jungle.]
purpleknee: (that's the girl he chose)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-23 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's terrible!

[Man, if he ever runs into the kind of person that would just attack a ship with some kids on it, he'll take them up high onto a cliff and see how they like it.]

But I still don't understand how it got so high up in the first place.
muscovy: (like a school portrait)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-09-24 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It was flying in the black spaces between the stars. There is a huge amount of place without any air in it that big ships made of metal can fly through.

[It's what he was explained, and it seems like the best explanation so he just accepted it.]
purpleknee: (every so often we long to steal)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-24 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[............]

I thought ships were just for water.
muscovy: (hello)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-09-25 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That was the case in the first two worlds that I was in, too. But there are a number of worlds that have them fly around, too, and often if they can fly they can also fly between the stars.
purpleknee: (with a green little window)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-26 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[that's bananas]

Into space... [ b a n a n a s ] I don't...really know what to say to all that. It sounds kind of amazing, but not in your situation.
muscovy: (do you want a sunflower?)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-09-29 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I met family on the ship.

[So it was very nice indeed that he got to be on it, in his opinion.]

And they are here, too.
purpleknee: (of all that i wear)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2016-09-29 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmn. You mentioned people earlier. Was that them?
muscovy: (hello)

[personal profile] muscovy 2016-10-03 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

Maybe there's someone that you know here, too. You should ask the network if anyone has seen someone, yes?
