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!

Someone was here before, one way or another.

[It does make a difference whether they've been trying this kidnapping racket before or not, though.

There are a lot of ugly suspicions on the table, and not without good reasons.]


So you think it was an experiment that failed and they're trying again. That about sum it up?

I absolutely believe that. I think in fifteen years, we'll be just another layer of ghostly architecture.

[Is his grim guess.]

I think we should try to know more about what it is they're attempting to do here.

It might be a little early to write us off as just an archeological anomaly for the next batch who roll through.

[Natasha doesn't think of herself as an optimist, but she is a survivor.]

I do admit, I intend to see what I can do about it.

[And he sounds so polite about it. Ready to go off when the time is right. They just have to survive in the mean time.]

I like the sound of that.

[Worse aces to have in the hole. But he'll have to hold that thought while she tries to find out what's really going on here.]

In the mean time...

We live. We survive whayever comes at us next. We settle you into an apartment with enough food stores to make a week.

[Ticking off the mental checklist.]

Let's go do that.

Reasonable goals. [Pretty much what she already had planned. At least, those were the next steps after she figured out where she stood.]

We get that, I think we can call it a productive day.

[He nods, and leads the way in the direction of his home. She may pick somewhere else in the long run, but good for them to at least know where the other one is to start.]

[It's definitely good enough for now. Natasha can figure out what she'll do in the long run later. She needs somewhere to rest, somewhere she can think over what she's learned and figure out what her next moves are going to be.]
