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!

[Bruce wonders if Steve has any idea whatsoever what smoke inhalation does to the lungs of a normal person, never mind a damned asthmatic, but then he's running, and Bruce is running after him, because this is their lives. This is what they do.

He puts his glasses into his pocket as he goes, and then bolts to catch up, to help him heave the first beam out of the way, moving the fallen awning from out front so they can get to the walls, where they've half crumbled.]

[prespangled]

[He doesn't have the slightest idea of the damage he might be doing to his lungs. Steve will listen to him explain it, maybe even apologize because he does have some inkling of how frustrating he can be to his friends. But it'll have to wait until later.

There's no doubt that Bruce will have to do most of the heavy lifting, but Steve is at least good for something: he crouches down, crawling into the spaces that most men can't - that army crawl is good for something. After a moment or two, he backs out, breathing heavily.]

I didn't see anything.

[zen_en_vert]

Good- then we've got to keep moving. The clinic-

[He's willing to bet there will be burns incoming.]

Come on. I'm putting you to work, Rogers.

[prespangled]

Okay.

[Bruce has an authoritative air to him right now, something that makes Steve trust him and willing to follow.]

What are we gonna do if they come for the clinic?

[He really shouldn't ask that question, it's like courting disaster. But Steve can't help but worry.]

We need defenders.

[zen_en_vert]

Can anyone put a dent in them?

I don't know how to defend anything with our current-

[And,]

Hell, we'll deal with that when we come to it.

[prespangled]

I don't know. Maybe?

[Steve knows there are strong people here. There are people who are more than just strong, people like Wanda and Jean who have powers the likes that Steve's never seen before. But they'd still be putting their lives on the line and that's worrying.]

Current what? [Steve catches the halt, the missing words.] Is something wrong, Doc?

[Not counting the obvious.]

[zen_en_vert]

Current dragons. Current dragons, Steve.

[He just means the obvious. Now, it's time to breathe deeply, in and out, seek his calm. It's slow in coming.

So, he runs, substituting action for inner peace.]

[prespangled]

Right.

[It says bad things that Steve's mind was already jumping to something worse than dragons. He shouldn't be a little bit relieved about it. Maybe life in the cave has sort of trained him to think that way.

He starts to say more, but maybe Bruce has the right idea. Focus on breathing instead of talking. In and out. Keep up, Rogers.]
