Intro Log: HOLY F*^K THAT'S A F*&KI%G DRAGON

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!

Possible. Nonethless, the effects are clear.

[Maketh narrows her eyes.]

As one retaliates against an enemy that harms them, of course. Should we take torture lying down?

[connor shakes his head]

No, I don't mean that. I didn't word it very well, it's really more of a multi-part thing. [foundation, walsh. get it together.] First, I guess I'm still thinking about the part where not all of the gods are necessarily negative emotions. Some of them even seem to be in opposition? Like hope and fear. Do they all act against us?

[he pauses. he should give her a chance to answer, not just bombard her with questions, he knows that.]

If they don't have physical forms, though, how did you even make the attempt?

They are in league with each other. We are food to them and nothing better. Our survival is ensured only because we are useful.

[Maketh's opinions about the gods have never been subtle.]

An attempt was made to force them to show themselves by attacking their temples. It was ill-planned and had adverse reactions.
iustitiae: (96)

[personal profile] iustitiae 2016-10-17 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Great.

[she may not be subtle, but it's easy to believe her when he's had so many lessons about learning not to trust people even when they act like they want to help. why should gods be any different?]

So regardless of whether or not they are who they claim to be, they definitely are powerful.
mismanagement: (Default)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-17 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Without question.

[Maketh inclines her head slightly.]

They have brought us back from the dead before. It's not a pleasant process, but it is within their capabilities. They have enacted containment measures around the caves so we cannot leave, and often engineer events to generate whatever emotion they require at the time. Yes, they are powerful.
iustitiae: (83)

[personal profile] iustitiae 2016-10-17 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
So is there any actual good news?
mismanagement: (005)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-17 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
You are alive.

[Maketh doesn't smile.]

If you are alive, then you can fight. That is the only thing that matters.
iustitiae: (53)

[personal profile] iustitiae 2016-10-17 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Fighting all the time isn't much for living.
mismanagement: (003)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-17 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Maketh inclines her head slightly.]

Accept your reality or wallow in denial. Quite frankly, I do not care which. If you are clever, then you may be of some use to me. If you are not, then I will do my best to keep you alive nonetheless. That is all there is to know.
iustitiae: (110)

[personal profile] iustitiae 2016-10-17 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure I already flunked the guardsman aptitude test.

[which he really doesn't care at all but:]

There's more to life than those things though. Like, that's really noble of you but you should get out there and do non-noble things, you know? Get drunk and do something stupid you regret in the morning or sleep with someone you've never met before.

[Maketh narrows her eyes. He's no guardsman, that's been made clear, but he is clever. Perhaps too much for his own good.] You presume a great deal while knowing very little about me. Do you truly think that wise?
iustitiae: (139)

[personal profile] iustitiae 2016-10-18 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[connor shrugs]

People make a lots of assumptions about other people. Just because they don't voice them doesn't mean they aren't there.

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-18 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Wisdom is the better half of discretion. [Maketh cocks an eyebrow.] Especially when the target of your observations is armed and you are not. I will indulge your foolishness if I must, but others will not be so accommodating. I hope that's understood.
iustitiae: (136)

[personal profile] iustitiae 2016-10-18 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure you're not going to shoot me after going to all of the trouble of saving me over a comment like that.

[he should stop there. she's made that real clear. and yet]

It's really not that big of a deal.
mismanagement: (004)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-18 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She could punch him, Maketh thinks. Just once, in the stomach, and then he'd be quiet. No one would have to know!

But, no. Standards. She has standards now.

Maketh just rubs her face. Connor is going to be an ongoing annoyance, she can just tell.]


If you are going to ask questions, at least make them intelligent.
iustitiae: (196)

[personal profile] iustitiae 2016-10-18 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
We did the intelligent question part already.

[maketh is a saint for putting up with this]
mismanagement: (015)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-18 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She just gives him a look.]

Clearly you are capable of looking after yourself now. I have patrols to run. Try not to die in the meantime.
iustitiae: (56)

[personal profile] iustitiae 2016-10-18 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
That is probably a great idea.

[for both their sakes to be quite honest]

But think about what I said.
mismanagement: (004)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-18 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
I am attempting to forget your foolishness. [There's far too much of it in Hadriel. And he certainly does not have a point! Not at all.] Good day.
