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!

[ There is a pause as he breathes out a small sigh. He shakes his head as he walks over to the young boy who has offered to help him. Still young enough to experience a childhood. Still young enough to have rot burn through his soul. But it seems like neither has happened. ]

I'm sorry. I feel like I'm making such an unreasonable demand to someone that I have just met. There are so many of these shoes... are you certain that you are willing to dig with me? We may be here for hours and hours.

Not at all! One should always help those in need! Do not worry, I will help as long as it takes!

[barebacking]

I am very relieved that I have encountered someone who is so helpful!

[ He lightly claps his hands together. Applause, applause for the helpful young man. ]

[imobouzu]

Thank you for your kind words, sir!

[ And for your applause, too! ]

[barebacking]

We could all use them from time to time. I am certain my children agree with me, too.

[ He looks up from his search. ]

Ooh! You have children!
