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!

Winston tipped his head aside and gave a few soft little licks to Bucky's metal hand, Will watched curiously, he was dying to ask about it, but thought better of it. It wasn't his place to ask such a personal question. Still... He couldn't help himself.

"Happen here, did it?" Motioning with his head to Bucky's metal arm, still trying to avoid looking directly at him as long or as much as he could.

He was right though, Will's plan wouldn't work. It would possibly cause more problems than solve them. But then again, Will had only just arrived, he didn't know what things were lurking in the caves, heck he didn't even know about the caves until just now.

"Then I'm fresh out of ideas..."

He held so still for the dog. A part of him was afraid he'd hurt it, but another part wanted desperately to pet it. So he reached out his right hand, slowly, and stroked it through the fur atop the dog's head.

"No. It was... a very long time ago." He could only remember bits and pieces. The only thing he knew for certain was that it was a bad time, and it was before things had settled, before he was... made into who he was supposed to be.

"Other people will have plans."

Will observed as Winston shuffled closer to Bucky, laying down with a flop right up close beside him, his fluffy head across Bucky's lap. He was content to be stroked and acted as though he was comfortable with the man.

"He likes you." Will added, a small breath and a smile pulled at his lips before he sighed deeply and lent back against the wall, eyes closed and tired, still sore from crying earlier.

Having never been one for relying on others plans, Lord knows he'd gotten into some stick situations because of other people's plans! Will was a little disheartened by the aspect. "Can't you do anything? "

The dog was nice. He was comforting, in a way he didn't expect. He had never had much interaction with animals. None that he could remember, anyway. He kept petting the dog.

"Never fought a dragon before. Don't know what to do."

He had felt lost from the minute he arrived in the city, but just then he felt even more stranded.

Will could sense Bucky's feelings, it was almost overwhelming how lost and useless he was feeling. He felt sad for him, sorry and concerned about him, all feelings Will would rather avoid, people became burdens and he didn't want to keep acting as if every human he interacted with was a new case study.

So, he took a long and calming breath as he looked over at Bucky's feet. Avoiding his face as much as he could. " It's okay to not have a plan you know? We don't always have to put up a fight. That's what our Parasympathetic nervous system is for... You know, fight or flight?"
