Intro Log: I'll Cry If I Want To

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for December
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: December 10th-14th
Warnings: Angry crying ladies and a bunch of newbies


Good morning, new Hadrielites! What a joy it is to awaken on the hard ground of the colosseum, with absolutely no idea where you are or what's going on. As you wake up, confused and possibly a little terrified, you may be angry. You may be frightened. You may be hungry, if you didn't eat a good lunch. You may want to cry.

And it looks like you're not the only one who wants to cry. Along with the newcomers, a number of Witches have come to Hadriel. They stand in one place or wander, crying bitterly, as if their boyfriend has broken up with them or they've lost their puppy. Maybe you're a good person who wants to see if they're okay? Well, you might want to rethink that. Disturb a Witch - which is pretty easy to do - and they'll fly into a rage, attacking you with their sharp claws and tearing your guts out. Good luck trying to get out of the colosseum without running into one!

Don't worry, though. Scattered around is also some stuff that's a little more fun! The Door's theme this month seems to be 'stuff stressed-out executives would put on their desks', and since we've got so many of those, surely you can find a toy or two to play with!

If you've managed to avoid getting clawed to bits and maybe found a cool new distraction or two, congrats! That's the first step to becoming a productive member of Hadriel society! Now, feel free to go explore the rest of the city! Find a house, a new monster, a project to help with, or simply scavenge for supplies. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

► This log covers December 10th-14th.
► 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!

Small favors, hm?

[It can always be worse, can't it. Somehow, that doesn't make being kidnapped any better.]

What does it mean? It seems pretty vague, feeding on us. Like we feel something, and it charges their batteries?

I've really got no idea.

[He shrugs.]

All I know is that they really want us to feel whatever their favorite is. That's why Fear does all that freaky crap and why Delight gives us booze.

Sounds like some of the gods won the lottery, in that case. Delight's going to have a lot more friends than Fear.

You bet. I don't think Fear cares too much about friends, though. He can get what he wants from us better without that.

[personal profile] outstandingbalance 2016-12-22 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
He still needs us though, right?

[They all did. That was made abundantly clear. Though maybe she'd been wrong when she thought Delight won the lottery. Firo's right, Fear doesn't need friends as long as they can't hurt him and can't get out.

She sighs.]

Yeah, he's just like the others. I guess he has to go about it differently, but other than that it's the same.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one who fucked things up to bring us here. But I also wouldn't be surprised if they're all in on it.

[ooc: Sorry for taking so long! It was a long week.]

[personal profile] outstandingbalance 2016-12-28 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
They all have the motive.

[Which doesn't make them all guilty, but it's something she doesn't have to do the math long to put together.]

Maybe we'll even find out for sure.

[He tilts his head curiously.]

You mean if they told us? Or are you planning on doing some snooping?

[personal profile] outstandingbalance 2016-12-29 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Don't read too much into it. At this point, it's just curiosity.

[But she's definitely planning to snoop.]

[He nods, a little disappointed.]

Too bad. If you change your mind later, invite me. I wanna know what's going on here.

I'll keep that in mind, and let you know if I find anything interesting. One way or the other.

[Not committing to anything, but not closing any doors either.]

[personal profile] foundafamily 2017-01-03 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I'll return the favor. not that I've got a whole lot of hope I'll find anything any time soon.

[He shrugs. That's just how it is here.]

You got any more questions about this place?

[personal profile] outstandingbalance 2017-01-04 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Probably, but probably that's enough for now. You've been very helpful.

[personal profile] foundafamily 2017-01-06 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives a lopsided smile.]

I don't know about that. But I guess we've gotta do our best to help each other out if we're gonna get outta here any time soon.

[If that's all she needs, then he'll turn to go.]
