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!

[Papyrus double takes at Sans.]

What? Of course they do! Everyone has a SOUL, right??

I just mean...

[He glances back. It'd be a big SOUL. A real honkin' big SOUL. Now, uh, might not be the best time for theorizing, it's true, but it's good to have some kinda back-up plan in case things go south.]

What'd happen if either of us turned it blue, d'ya think?

[Oh! That's what Sans meant. Papyrus ponders this.]

...Well, it is very big. But I believe that may be enough to give us room to escape, should we find ourselves in a... scaley situation!! Great thinking, brother!

I try.

[No he doesn't. Personally, he's not sure if subjectin' any of their SOULs to gravity - assumin' that would even work in the first place, which is not a given - would really be the best way to go about all this. Might just end up makin' things worse. Least they don't seem to be a pickle where they'll have to resort to that. Yet, anyway.]

Mostly I think we should just, uh...hide, maybe. Until this is over.

Hmm, yes! Hiding! That seems like it might be better than continuing to run around in the open...!

[Thankfully, there are all sorts of buildings around here. Papyrus picks a random one that's not totally destroyed and heads for it, leading the way.]

Make a break for one of the temples, maybe. Those tend to be safe spots.

[Can't say for certain if that'll hold up, but it's about as close to an educated guess as any of 'em are gonna get in this climate. Either way, he sticks close to his brother's heels.]

[The temples? Alright then. Papyrus follows Sans' suggestion, heading for the closest and newest one: Confusion's. It's not too far off, thankfully. Papyrus speedwalks to the temple, not breaking into a full-on run only because he knows Sans would be averse to it.

From inside, the architecture is... confusing. It doesn't seem to make much sense. Which is only apt, Papyrus supposes.

Papyrus leans against a wall, taking a little breather. Despite having no lungs. Running for your life's pretty hard work.]

I will keep watch, to make sure no dragon knocks this place over as well!

[And it's Confusion's place on top of it. So that's...great. Fantastic. He can roll with it. He will. He rolls with it just fine, even if the entire damn place looks an awful lot like someone just took the entire concept of architectural integrity and ran it through a meat grinder.]

Not sure I could tell the difference if it did, tibia'nest.

[Place already looks like kind of a wreck. Really, it puts his tornado of trash to shame.]

[Sans certainly has a point. Still...]

I could definitely tell the difference if the place collapsed on our heads!!

[So watch he shall. He'll march around and keep checking all the windows, just to see if any dragons get within crushing distance.]

I wonder if anyone has tried to reason with Fear. Certainly he could be convinced to be nicer to us.

[Sans hunkers down by the nearest...surface (pillar? table? counter? he can't really tell) and leans himself up against it with his hands in his pockets. All he can really do is sleep and sleep and hope that'll be enough to restore his control over his magic.]

It'd be real nice if he could, but I think everyone's tried that already.

[Hrm. Maybe Fear just needs some convincing from a certain skeleton.]

He probably wouldn't like it very much if we sent dragons after him! Surely he could come to understand that, at least.

...All clear, for now! It doesn't look like that dragon from earlier followed us.

I dunno. I've never seen one of the gods do somethin' this...destructive before. Thought they were tryin' to patch the place up.

[At least, that's the general idea he got. People were rewarded for fixin' things, temples got patched up with the revival of their correspondin' gods, and so on and so forth. Seems real counter-intuitive to send somethin' in that could so easily tear the place apart.]

True... But what else would it be? Perhaps... the Door is broken? If that is the case, we may see yet more dangerous creatures brought in until it can be fixed!

[Which means... more people killing more creatures. Papyrus frowns out the window at a distant blue dragon.]

I see a dragon out there, but it is not heading our way.

[He'll keep an eye on it.]

[The Door broken. That's a disquietin' thought. 'Specially since he's pretty damn sure it's what's keepin' things from goin' to hell even worse than they have.

But it sure would explain some things if that was the case.]

You're right. If the Door's broken, we might be in more trouble than a couple'a angry lizards.

[In that case... Papyrus might not want to be right for once. He hopes he isn't.]

I admit, I do not know much about the Door! Only that it can summon people through it into this place. People and creatures and things. I suppose if it were broken, it could summon anything or anyone at any time, rather than regularly and systematically. But that is only my own conjecture! I cannot say for certain.

[He watches the dragon in the distance spit icy death into the streets below, ice crystals overtaking a building below it. He knits his brow ridge, pulling up a confusing piece of disconnected, raised floor and taking a seat in it, leaning his elbow on the window sill(s).]

Know about as much as anyone does. Maybe spread the word around with the other guards. See if they know anything.

[Once again, he kinda has to wonder how long it's been since Papyrus has slept. He might have an unquenchable enthusiasm and drive, but that can pretty swiftly become a detriment if he ain't sleepin' enough to make up for it.]

How's it lookin' out there?
