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!

The thing was, Flick did enjoy those things. He enjoyed working, fixing things up and making a place a home, transforming simple ingredients into something mouthwatering. But he expected.....well, feelings. And then Flick almost laughed.

"Really? I hear you two become good friends. Or at least have a working relationship." Enough that he'd kidnap me for you.

"...I don't know what you've heard of me, or what I've done, or if the person they tell you of is even me. I'm me. Right here."

[saltrock_imp]

"I don't know who that person is either Pell. But Seel says it's you. He said he'd seen you. He was trying to bring me to see you. If it is you, I'm not sure I like who you've become Pell. You didn't even keep in touch. Friends keep in touch."

Flick stopped, realizing how bitter and horrible that sounded.

"I'm sorry." He tried to change the subject, or turn it back to Seel. "Right before I ended up here I was talking to Seel actually. He was so insistent I see you he had some of his guards escort me to a guest room and lock the door."

Pell waves a hand, dismissing the tone. "Friends don't usually die and come back to life either. I have a feeling I'm a puppet, not me at all, just a toy Thiede wants around to play with. Surely he could fix a bullet."

I'm sorry you've been through what you have.

[saltrock_imp]

"I never wanted that for you Pell. I'm sorry."

Too bad Flick hadn't yet realized that his strings were to be pulled by someone similar. Thiede had a sister and in escaping from Thiede he had walked right into her board.

" No one deserves to be a puppet. I wish your life was your own."

[pellameno]

"Hmm. Who wouldn't wish such a thing? Likely, most people believe it because it's true for them."

[saltrock_imp]

"In a way, I don't think any of us had a choice. We were all controlled, from the moment we heard the Call. Maybe it can be different now, that we're away. "

Flick looked around, and put an arm around his friend. "Want to help me fix this place up? We could make it into a home." He missed playing house. He missed his simple life on the river boat he shared with Lor, Lileem and Mima. He wished he could tell Pell about his sister.
