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!

[skelebro]

Just me 'n my bro.

[That's right. Ol' Papyrus up there.]

[iustitiae]

So you're used to the twenty questions about your existence.

[skelebro]

More or less got used to it by the time I ended up here, yeah.

No bones about it.

[iustitiae]

And I'm guessing the puns are a constant.

[skelebro]

I wouldn't be a skelepun otherwise.

[iustitiae]

You did not just say that.

[skelebro]

I didn't?

[Funny. Sure sounds like he did.]

Might wanna get that selective memory checked out, buddo.

[iustitiae]

[he's...just not going to explain that]

So why comic sans?

[skelebro]

Well, my name is Sans.

[Which came first, the name or the font? It is a mystery.]

[iustitiae]

Could be worse, I guess. Could be Helvetica.

[skelebro]

Helvetica's too big for its britches anyway. I mean, c'mon, it don't even have serifs.

[iustitiae]

Having a conversation with a skeleton about fonts.

[he kind of mutters it under his breath but it's probably loud enough for sans to hear, ears or not. maybe he will try talking about something normal. surely that will normalize this situation and not at all make it more absurd]

How long have you been stuck in this place, Comic Sans?

[did he miss the point where it was just sans maybe. or maybe hes just being facetious]

[skelebro]

Please, just "Sans" is fine.

[He'd make a joke about Mr. Sans being his father, but that joke has, historically, not really gone over real well. So he doesn't.]

Couple months, I think. Time's real hard to gauge down here.

[iustitiae]

Has it been hard to adjust?

[you know BEING A SKELETON and not just the whole foreign place thing. how do skeletons even stay alive how is this even possible sans youre in the elephant in the room here]

[skelebro]

Not really. Monsters live underground where I come from.

[So, uh, yeah. The sky remains a wistful myth for guys like him.

Unless he means adjusting to the whole "being a skeleton" thing, in which case - geez, man, you ask the same of human kids? Can't just ask someone why they're human. That's rude.]

[iustitiae]

[well not being a skeleton but adjusting to life with humans as a skeleton though...sans actually more or less answered his question. incredible for both of them]

So you never get to see the sun? That's rough.

[skelebro]

Not really. Can't miss what you've never really had, can you?

[Can't miss what you've never really had. He'd pity the version of himself that, evidently, got to see the sun, rising and setting in its continuous revolution around the Earth. He'd pity the bastard, except he's mostly just jealous.

Jealous, and regretful that evidently that happy ending wasn't enough.
* don't tell the other sans-es, okay?
Might not have a photographic memory, but he's got photographic proof that it all happened, don't he?]

[iustitiae]

I don't know about that.

[this seems to have suddenly gotten really serious, so connor treats it with the seriousness he assumes this deserves. it's undeniably weird if you take a step back to look at it, having this conversation with a skeleton named for a font, but. everything about this place was weird so he might as well start taking this stuff in stride, as best he can anyway.]

[skelebro]

[Hey, don't worry about it, pal. It's Sans. He's never serious. He's got a permanent grin and absolutely no regrets in life.

Sans chuckles easily, like didn't just dredge up somethin' pained and painful to think about.]

Anyway. Place keeps ya on your toes, but you get used to it.

[iustitiae]

[bullet dodged for both of them i guess]

Yeah, I'd rather just go home and skip the part where you have to get used to it.

[skelebro]

Yeah, [he says slowly, dragging the word out several syllables past its expiration,] that, uh...ain't happenin', pal. Unless you get real lucky and just up and vanish someday.

But, uh, we don't always know where those people go.

[SO YOU KNOW THAT'S FUN]

[iustitiae]

I'm not sure I like those odds.

[i mean he'd love to be optimistic and assume those people go home but life has taught connor that optimism is more or less a great way to get kicked when you're down.]

Is there anything else the newbie guide left out? Other than dragons?

[skelebro]

Well, to be fair, the dragons would be a first. Usually it's somethin' smaller like zombies.

[Sans is the Captain Of Reassurance right here.]

[iustitiae]

At least they're slower, I guess.

[skelebro]

Pretty much, yeah.

[Takin' things all in stride. That's good. Good survival instinct.]

But the newbie guide's a good first step.
