hadriel_logs | 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!

So his suspicions of her were correct? Was she military of some kind? How interesting. Yeah, it helped him to feel a little more at ease. Figures of authority felt more comfortable to Will, felt more like home and Jill was as kind and heroic as they came. he smiled a little and nodded. "I work with the FBI, or worked I should say. Not that I left or anything I mean, just that being here and all..." He stopped talking, he felt awkward enough as it was without stumbling over his words.

Looking around, Will took note of the kind of buildings that were on offer, anything was better then the clinic and what were the chances of Jill letting him find his own way there if he told her he'd go? Will got the feeling that wouldn't wash with Jill. That she'd want to talk him there herself and make sure he got the right kind of treatment he needed. And that certainly wouldn't do.

"You could point me in the direction, that way you can still help people out here that might need it?" he didn't think it would work, but it was worth the try. She was nice and he didn't want her worrying over him. It did, however, feel nice to have someone want to help you for a change. Will normally shy away from other offering assistance, but given the circumstances, he was kind of humbled by her honesty.

He didn't have the look of FBI to her, so he was probably some sort of consultant or a tech or a genius or maybe all of the above. She'd have to ask him more questions to find out, but given the circumstances, now wasn't really the time. There was still a lot of danger present, and there could be other people who needed help.

When he suggests she just point him in the right directly, Jill laughs a little and shakes her head. Does he think she's stupid? Is it the blond hair or something? Because she wasn't always blond. "The clinic is that way." She points down the street. The place is hard to miss, so if he goes over there, she's sure he can find it. "I'll pretend like you're actually going to go there and not running off to do something stupid." The woman smiles and reaches to her belt, unclipping her phone and holding it up. "You should have one of these on you. Check your pockets. If you get into trouble, call me. My name is Jill Valentine."

But yes, she'll let Will be on his way. Jill knows that arriving here is a shock. Sometimes, you have to work it out on your own before you can accept some help.

Will looked a little sheepish, he could tell what she was thinking of him, he could read it in her expression and in the way that she laughed, he didn't have to empathise with her to know that. "I'll try and keep out of trouble. I'd just. Yea, I'd rather not spend too much time in a clinic right now. I need to sort myself out first..." He spoke low, almost ashamed that he thought to trick her.

"Oh... Okay." Will observed as Jill held her phone out to him, it took a few moments before he found where his had been placed, it was in his empty gun holster. Flipping it on and searching through the contacts to look for Jill. "I don't know any of these people," he said, as he tried to punch in a number from home, holding it to his ear as if expecting to hear it ring and for Jack to answer.

He wouldn't be the first person to try and lie to her, though she knows there were no ill intentions behind it. For whatever reason, he wanted to venture out on his own. This is not the best time, considering the new dragon threat, but she can't force him to do what she thinks is best.

She also knows what it feels like to end up here without knowing a single soul, so she can sympathize. "You know me." Or he does now, anyway. "What's your name?"

Will was taken aback by just how kind and considerate Jill was. Her intentions seemed pure. There was nothing obvious that she could gain by befriending Will or for helping him. A truly nice person? Why she could almost restore Will's faith in mankind. But she was a person and Will struggled with people, so in his awkward, mousy way, Will smiled and nodded, a slight darkening of his cheeks, partly embarrassed part awkwardness.

"Will Graham." He said with a slight catch in his throat. Coughing to clear his throat. Nerves and illness getting the best of him, putting his walls up and shying away from her friendliness. He didn't mean to come across as rude and he hoped she would still think of him kindly.

Will might be a bit shy and awkward, but perhaps that's just the type of guy he was. Jill isn't going to hold that against him. "Take care of yourself, Will."

Since she can't spare any more time with him, if he's not going to let her get him to the clinic, she turns to head back to see if there are others who need her help.

Will nodded. "Same to you." He offered before turning and making his way off in the direction she'd told him. He stopped after a few feet and turned back to watch her leave. Something almost like regret pulled at him from inside out, he knew he was making a mistake in not letting her help him further, but he just couldn't allow her to waste her time on him.

Making it look like he was going to the clinic, just in case Jill had too, decided to turn back and watch, Will went up to the entrance and lingered for a moment before pulling his phone out ad fiddling around with it again.

He'd wander off into the safer parts of the City and look for a place to rest his head and possibly get some sleep, Lord knows he needs it.
