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!

"Underground!" She blinks in surprise. Certainly, there are plenty of Folk who live underground, but usually that's back in the Whodden, not in the Mortal Plane. She has heard of whole communities in the Mortal Plane, mostly consisting of burrower types, who build vast warrens and such. But it's not all that common. Most of them just prefer to have basement-level apartments or houses build into the sides of hills, that sort of thing.

Folk, she's found, don't seem too keen on digging too deeply in the earth of the Mortal Plane. Superstitions and such.

"We have a sort of underground," she says after a few moments of thought. "When I say tiers, they're sort of built along a tree. The Tree of Life! Or the World Tree, depending on where you're from. The Mortal Plane at the base, the Whodden in the branches. The Underworld lies in the roots and, well, it's mostly where the dead go. You know, it's still interesting to me that you call yourselves monsters! I met two skeletons who said the same, or perhaps I dreamed them? Hard to tell! Do you know any skeletons?"

She chuckles a bit when Alphys does because yeah, who could have seen any of this coming?

"Right? The dragons I wouldn't have minded, but the whole idea of gods just rubs me the wrong way, personally!"

"Well, I mean, we're not t-there because we want to be. Humans sealed us underground, uhm, t-thousands of years ago. They were s-scared of us, for some reason." To her knowledge, the monsters had never actually done anything to harm humans all those years ago, but the details could have been lost to time.

The skeleton question, however, perks her up considerably. "I know, uhm, t-two skeletons actually! They're brothers. They go by Sans and Papyrus. I know Sans m-more than I know Papyrus, honestly. He's an old friend." A really old friend, and a really complicated friendship, but that's not gonna be mentioned here. "I'm not so sure a-about gods and everything either, though. We have a King in the Underground, b-but he's not a god."

Absolutely has godlike arms, though. Dang.
