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!

[Miriam tips her head to the side.] The gods brought you through the Door. Sorry. They're dicks like that. But you're not dead. Probably.

[Not yet, at least.]

I mean, stuff might kill you later! But not right now.

[dragoon_pride]

The gods? You mean... Cosmos and Chaos?

[They're his gods, or at least the ones he assumes are behind this. A new arena to fight in, perhaps. Another battle. Maybe they were lied to about their deaths being permanent, after all...]

Before I came here... [He raises a hand, looking at it in disbelief, still taking some time to process being alive again. He's almost disappointed, since death did mean the war was finally over for some of them.] I fell in battle. I didn't expect to revive for another round of war.

[dogsanddaughters]

[Miriam shakes her head.] More like Fear and Hope. But yeah. Lotsa people come in like that. And you'll probably have to fight again. 'cause otherwise stuff tries to eat you.

[dragoon_pride]

So I'm fighting a new gods' war...

[Lovely. Just what he didn't want to hear. After endless cycles of conflict, to be thrown into yet another place where he's a gods' pawn... At least this time he has his memories intact.]

I can handle a fight if it comes to it, but... what sort of things? Monsters?

[dogsanddaughters]

[He did look like he could fight, with that armor and what not. Miriam peers up at him, wondering. Does he have magic? Or is he just strong like Damen was?

Damen was nice. She misses him.]

Dunno if I'd call it a war, but there are monsters. Dead men walking and hungry things. They live in the caves. But the dragons are new. They're big.

[dragoon_pride]

The undead are such foul things. [He makes a face, look, he's been stuck on a mountain fighting nothing but zombies and other assorted ghouls, he's not exactly fond of them.] But dragons are something I understand. I can deal with dragons.

[The dragon-like armor is probably a give-away, after all. He's in the right place at the right time... it would seem.]

[dogsanddaughters]

[So his world has zombies too. Awesome.

Well, not really. Zombies are gross.]

How do you kill a dragon, anyway? They're...really big.

[dragoon_pride]

[Very gross. He'd prefer just not to ever see zombies again. Stupid Scarmiglione.]

It's far from easy. It takes considerable strength and stamina, you must prepare for an extremely draining battle... it also helps if you can evade or get airborne... We dragoons train in such skills.

[dogsanddaughters]

[Miriam considers this.] Suppose that makes sense. Can you blow 'em up? Does that work?

[dragoon_pride]

I've never seen such a thing done. It might work, with enough bombs, perhaps... but a dragon would undoubtedly evade such an attack.

[Though he'd personally rather not mess with bombs anymore, what happened to Rydia's village was bad enough.]

This sort of thing is definitely not a job for one person alone, either. Even we dragoons would typically fight them in a group.
