Intro Log: Eat Your Veggies

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for January
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: January 10th-16th
Warnings: Luscious greenery and confused newbies

As has become tradition within the good (well, okay) city of Hadriel, new arrivals will awake on the floor of the half-destroyed colosseum. Confused and disoriented, you may be wondering where you are and what you're doing there. Don't worry! Someone will probably tell you sooner or later, as long as you get out of the colosseum alive.

Oh, right. About that. Along with the poor, innocent, vulnerable new arrivals are a number of other new friends! Well, maybe less 'friends' than 'horrifying monsters', but are you really going to be picky? Wandering the arena are Shambling Mounds. These creatures are large, unattractive piles of vaguely humanoid-shaped vegetation. They hit hard, they can take a lot of damage, and if you're really unlucky they might manage to engulf you with their weird plant bodies. If that happens, you'd better try to get free fast - otherwise they'll just walk off with you stuck inside and kill you later at their leisure.

The Door appears to have cast a wide net for 'plant monsters', and while Shambling Mounds are the only ones that can actually hurt you, it's managed to pull in a number of smaller, less dangerous carnivorous plants. Some of them are even kind of cute! So if you were looking for a pet venus flytrap or a new pitcher plant, you're in luck. Scattered around the colosseum are carnivorous potted plants, just waiting to find a new home.

Make a new plant friend, or get eaten by one, or run screaming! Whatever you choose to do, once you find your way out of the colosseum there's plenty of other distractions. 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!

Still working on it. [Saying it that way feels a little like admitting a failure on her part; though she's not inclined to admit it, she's hesitating to align herself with another organization. Hasn't always ended so well for her.

That's different from not needing allies, though, and it doesn't mean she doesn't trust Peter.] I wouldn't say it's not worth looking into, if you know what you're going to offer.

I've only got one thing to offer, unless someone needs a motherboard replaced. And it's not like there's any internet anyway. I'm going into cat video withdrawal.

[there's something else on his mind too.]

Hey, I wanted to ask you. My secret...the secret identity thing.

[outstandingbalance]

About that, huh. What's on your mind?

[Tony hadn't been entirely forthcoming about what he knew about Peter's personal life. Natasha didn't pry.]

[website]

Is it stupid to keep it up here?

[peter holds up his hands, like he's balancing his options.]

I don't know what to do. I mean, there's millions of people in New York, and one of them is my aunt. But there's a lot less people here, and the whole situation's different.

[outstandingbalance]

[She isn't sure what she expected, but it wasn't that. Makes sense, though.]

Good question.

[Which is a nice way of saying she doesn't have a simple answer.]

That depends on you. It really is different here. It'll be harder to keep your secret in the long run, and it's worth thinking about if you'd rather they find out from you or from someone else.

[sorry nat, you're the only person he has to talk to about this.

you're probably the only person he has to talk about a lot of things. where do babies come from? come on, he's not that young.]

The suit's pretty cool though, right? I'm keeping the suit.

[he'll figure the rest of it out with a little thought, but the uniform is awesome and hek nows it.]

[outstandingbalance]

It is pretty cool. [She'll indulge him on that. No denying Tony makes a cool suit.

And it's a weird situation. She doesn't have if he needs support. She just doesn't have the answer for this one.]

I'm sure people will agree, if you decide to show them.
