Intro Log: HOLY F*^K THAT'S A F*&KI%G DRAGON

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for October
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: October 10th-13th
Warnings: New faces, new greeting posts, and dragons. What's more to want?

If your first thought upon waking up on the cold, hard ground of Hadriel's very own Colosseum is 'maybe I partied too hard last night', one, Delight would love you and two, you're wrong. Or- maybe you did, but that's not why you're here. Instead, you wake up with the same clothes you were wearing when you were last home, but surrounded by very different people. So, make some friends! Might as well voice your confusion and concern and show the technologically unsavvy of you how to operate these fancy new phones, right? Just be sure not to trip over these odd bags of chips on your way to greet your fellow man.

Don't spend too much time out in the open, though. There are monsters about, and not quite the usual ones. This month, Hadriel is bringing in four dragons, each with their own unique abilities and raidboss-esque stamina. They'll be terrorizing the city until someone puts them down- maybe that someone is you! Maybe you should, uh, actually hide. They're hungry and territorial and mean and they're definitely out for a good meal. Check out our OOC post for more information, as well as who will be eventually killing the beasts!

But hey, once you escape from the dragons, feel free to go explore the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies.

New, as of October's intro log is a Newcomer's guide that installs itself by default on every activated phone. Thanks, Mello!

Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

► This log covers October 10th-13th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

[Sans stops dead (heh heh) as she goes ahead and does the looming thing taller people seem so fond of employing as an intimidation tactic. Which, uh, rude? Not like it takes a whole lotta effort for somebody who's four feet tall and all made of magic and bone.

He grins up at her, innocently.

This is gonna suck, isn't it?]

Heya.

[missionfail]

[She wants to take one large finger and set it squarely on top of his head as though she's prepared to shove him into the ground, but instead the gem crosses her arms over her chest.]

You weren't truthful with me.

[No signs of violence yet. If she chases him off she won't get any answers, and unlike the tonberries this skeleton might actually answer her when she asks about the methods he used to destroy her form. That was hardly a typical fight given the circumstances, and she knows it. She's hoping she'd do better in a real one when her shape isn't changing against her will.]

[skelebro]

[All right, well they ain't going the violent route just yet.]

I'm not truthful with a lotta people, lady. If you got words, you might wanna get in line.

[Punctuated by the scream of one of the four serpentine beasts that've filled the cave, and it does...something that makes a lot of the debris and rubble jump as if spooked, the cave floor vibrating beneath his slippered feet.]

And maybe consider doin' this sometime that's later. [He shrugs, languorously.] But, hey. Just a suggestion.

[missionfail]

I'll do this now, endoskeleton.

[The roar of the dragon doesn't even unnerve her. She's not the only one here to fight it and frankly she's more interested in the abilities of the creature in front of her. The dragons are powerful, can fly, and breathe fire. That seems to about sum it up. Sans' powers are more complicated.]

I don't see anyone in front of me at the moment, do you?

[She can't say she wouldn't knock them aside if there was.]

[skelebro]

I see a lotta things that could kill us both, tibia'nest.

[Still with the jokes. Always with the jokes. He's been told it's pretty grating to have those kinds of things lobbed at ya when you're tryin' to do your best in a serious situation, but he's never been a serious sort.

Just ask anyone.

Unfortunately, he's thinkin' she's a lot more bullheaded than a lazybones like him can reasonably deal with in a curt and efficient fashion. So he faces her direction, hands in his pockets, lookin' resigned.]

But, uh. Okay.

Shoot.

[missionfail]

What were you doing when you made it seem like the gravity was shifting?

[Gems automatically adjust to the gravity of whatever planet they're on, so it seems odd that he'd be able to mess with her senses, but the idea that he'd truly been shifting gravity itself is even more baffling.]

What else can you do? Why don't you make more use of your abilities?

[Join her nonexistent army already.]

[skelebro]

[Yeah, see. This is why he doesn't break out the big guns. Besides the fact that it's all a whole lotta work? What's his reward for doin' his job for once, huh? More work. More work, and a whole lotta finger-pointing and questions he don't wanna answer if he doesn't.

Lady's got questions, and he ain't really interested in answerin' them.]

What was I doin'? Well, at that point I was pretty much just tryin' to stay alive, believe it or not. Monster magic ain't supposed to go off like that.

[It's about as evasive an answer as one could anticipate from a guy like him. But what else were you expecting?]
