hadriel_logs | INTRO LOG: A TAXING JOURNEY

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!

[ She didn't just witness this scene, did she? Her eyes have never given her reason to doubt since she's learned how to use them, but this interaction between man and shoe seemed a bit of a stretch.

And did his gun just talk? ] ...

[ Most other people might greet him with wit or something nice though Shiki has neither of those things up her sleeve today. Only a deadpan stare. ]

Now, Freckles. Shoes have feelings, too. I mean, if we went around just saying shoes were shoes and not considering their feelings, they'd run off on us. Like mine did.

[ He falls to his knees as he holds his rifle close. ] This is how you lose your shoes! You forget to cherish them!

[ The rifle rocks back and forth. ] There, there, Captain.
