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!

[ Chips are disappointing, but the lack of a cliff bar isn't really, aside from foiled curiosity. Not knowing it, he hadn't begun expecting the taste.

Catching the bag, Uryuu looks skeptically at the label, then turns the same look on him. ]

You did say might, but... you're that into chips?

[ Two bags? Of weirdly named things just lying around? Sure, Uryuu had grabbed one... but only to make fun of Kurosaki with. Bad Hair Day. Too easy. (Actually, he shouldn't have tried them, given the weird way they were found. Kind of suspicious. Maybe antagonizing Kurosaki should take a backseat to possibly poisoning yourself.

Probably not, though.) ]

[iustitiae]

[connor just rolls his eyes, not about to be bothered that he picked up not one but two bags of terrible chips. they could have been useful. they are being useful. he's totally done something helpful by handing over that bag.]

It's better than doing nothing. Anyway, who knows? They were sitting out there just asking to be taken.

[so either someone wanted to help or they're poisonous or the gods have a shitty sense of humor take your pick]

[repelling]

Do you often pick up food that's just lying on the ground, asking to be taken?

[ Probably not, he'd wager, and probably he doesn't often end up in crazy stupid situations like this. Uryuu says it with a slight smirk, to indicate he's in on that part of the absurdist joke, anyway, then steps toward him, pulling open the bag. ]

You first. I had a bag and they were awful.

[ Holding it out. ]

[iustitiae]

Nah, I'm good. Almost getting killed kind of ruins your appetite.

[that and he's got no illusions that those chips are probably god awful]

[repelling]

[ Uryuu shrugs, and despite both his certainty that these will also suck, and the continued possibility of poison, reaches in and takes one. Crunch.

Yes, he makes a face, because yes, they taste like umami and sour cream, which is, no.

Yes, he takes another chip, because for one, he probably could use the energy, and for another, he doesn't waste food. ]

Uryuu Ishida. You aren't speaking Japanese, right?

[iustitiae]

[connor is surprised and quite frankly impressed that uryuu is managing to eat them.]

Connor Walsh. And no, although considering there are dragons and I woke up in the middle of the cave I wouldn't be that surprised at this point if I was. But I'm from the United States, so.

[repelling]

[ They are so bad. So, so bad. But he's been so, so poor. He nods, satisfied. ]

You look it. You also don't look like your Japanese would be that good.

[ Matter-of-fact. Crunch. Swallow. Ugh. ]

Am I speaking English? That guide said other realities... there must be some translating mechanism.

[iustitiae]

Guess the gods - or you know, whatever - are trying to be helpful about how they trapped us.

[hes just gonna silently ignore the rest of it]

[repelling]

Until Confusion wants an easy target, maybe.

[ Gross. That's enough. Uryuu rolls up the bag, tucks it into his satchel, and tugs loose his water bottle. ]

Well -- good luck, Walsh-san.

[ in part because isn't all the housing back near the dragons... ]

[iustitiae]

Yeah. And thanks, you know, for saving me.

[he will remember this and be slightly less awful to him in the future promise]

[repelling]

[ Uryuu sips from his water bottle and caps it. He replaces it in his satchel, which he latches. He takes two steps back toward the spires. All of this unhurried, even ridiculously measured, because he doesn't say anything until then, when he glances back over his shoulder, to say ]

No need to thank me. I'm not the kind of guy who'd let someone get eaten. It'd be a waste of those clothes.

[ y...yeah, completely seriously, then he nudges his glasses. ]

See you around.

[ And he's off. so cool ]
