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!

I think that's good advice, [Triela says, with a real smile. She feels the expression more than she has during any of the rest of her day here so far. Yeah, a girl with a brother and a weapon is someone she can deal with, even if everything else is daunting.

The offer, too, feels good. Being alone here has been... uncomfortable...] I don't know where it is. I haven't been around much yet... If you have the time, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm Triela, by the way. These are bad circumstances, but it's nice to meet you.

[ Arya doesn't smile back, but her gaze softens. She doesn't trust the girl, but she doesn't see her as much of a threat, either. At least, not right now. Arya thinks she might be a good person, maybe. ]

I have the time. It's important to be armed at all times; to be as safe as possible. Everything else comes after that.

[ Arya turns, and starts off in the direction of the lake. Triela. It's a strange-sounding name, but Arya likes it. There's a certain cadence that she can appreciate. ]

Nymeria.

[ It's not technically her name, because she's not supposed to have one anymore. But it's what the people of this city call her, so Triela can call her that too, if she likes. ]

It's nicer here than lots of other places. [ The people, for one, are kinder. This is far better than Westeros. ]
