INTRO LOG: A TAXING JOURNEY

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for December. Watch your step!
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: December 10th-17th
Warnings: Taxxon-related violence, teeth shoes, general unpleasantness, mass confusion.

You wake up in the dust of the colosseum with no shoes on, regardless of the state of your feet when you arrived. There's dust covering your clothing and in your hair, but other than that, there's no signs of injury or bruising. You're also not alone- nearby, there are others, either still passed out or just waking up like you are. Feel free to take solace in that fact. Or don't- some of you aren't human, and are clearly not great people either. No offense.

To your left, there is a door in the wall of the arena, supposedly leading to the halls which will then show you to your freedom. To your right, and scattered haphazardly on the ground, are a myriad of teeth shoes. These shoes might be better than going barefoot right now, but good luck finding a matching set, let alone one that fits you.

When you do eventually try to escape, be careful. The halls are crawling with Taxxons. Large and grotesque, these caterpillar-like creatures have circular mouths and multiple rows of sharp teeth. Their sense of smell is impeccable, and they will stop at nothing to feed when they scent blood. So, you know, try to avoid stepping on anything sharp on your way out.

All done with the horrible monsters and awkward greetings? Try your hand at exploring the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies until your little heart is content. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

[you wanna know the great thing about swords, triela? they don't run out of bullets. to be honest, lloyd is still a little vague on the exact function of a gun. which means he doesn't actually know that guns can run out.

figuring out that triela is feeling a bit overwhelmed right now is easy enough for him to figure out though, so after stumbling back a few steps in surprise at her shove he's stepping forward again, dual swords drawn, just in time to cross the blades in front of the both of them and repel back the giant bug thing that had apparently taken offense at getting things shot at its eyes.

he follows that up with a quick slash and spin of his blades that has the thing dropping to the ground in a pool of quickly spreading blood.

and then he falls back a step closer to triela, blades still drawn in defense because that thing had friends and the fight is hardly over yet. he still spares a look at her over one shoulder though, concern evident.] That was close! Are you okay?
