hadriel_logs | Intro Log: Eat Your Veggies

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!

[Good. Really good, that she said yes. They'll make of that what they can, taking a few slow steps- not away, but closer. It's one of the things about this place, and about where they came from; not everyone looked at a child and saw just a child.]

I'm Frisk. If you need to grab my shoulder, that's okay too.

[A quiet offer of stability. She doesn't need to trip up on herself, just to burden them less. They don't mean to take her far either way. She's not up to walking all the way to their apartment.]

[ Lunafreya can scarcely blame anyone for being suspicious, especially of a child on their own; Hadriel has proven to be unpredictable. While Luna doesn't doubt that Frisk has the best of intentions, she knows that if they happen to be another monster in disguise she's practically done for. ]

Frisk? A charming name. [ She smiles through the pain, though she doesn't take their offer just yet. ] I am Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, Oracle of Eos... Though I suppose that such a title means very little here.

[ She does her best to walk in step with Frisk, though she struggles to do so. They are a bit shorter than she is, and it feels wrong to rely on a child to bear her weight. ] Have you... been in this place for overly long...?

[Slow and steady wins the race. Probably because slow and steady means enough pauses, slight deviations from the straight path, to ensure that Lunafreya can take a moment to stop and brace herself when needed.

Lunafreya. They can't help themself; she says their name is charming, and they duck their head down, a pleased smile tugging at their lips.] Not as pretty as yours.

[Maybe when circumstances are a little lighter, they'll uh. They'll use some better material than that.]

In Hadriel..? I think... six months? [They've seen the door open six times. Once a month, for new people and monsters alike.] A long time.

[ Lunafreya can't help the laugh she gives, the sound breathy and labored. The going is very slow, but she does her best not to keep Frisk from having to wait up for her too much. ] You flatter me, truly.

[ The material's a-okay for now, Frisk. Were she in better straits, maybe she'd even blush! ]

Half a year... [ Luna's expression clouds momentarily. ] That certainly is a while. Are there more monsters like the kind I encountered in that colosseum, or are they simply relegated to the ruins?

[ She figures there probably are dangers roving the rest of the area; Frisk likely wouldn't be carrying that broom if the streets were safe from danger. Luna figures that assuming anything about this new place would likely be in poor judgement.

As they walk along, Lunafreya catches sight of numerous buildings dotting the area, looming in the distance. She still clutches her wound closed with her hands, but uses the change in environs as a distraction. It works. ]

And I assume that nobody leaves Hadriel with ease...

[For the time being, Luna is excused from making physical reactions occur that could be waylaid by her health. It's a hard concession to make, of course, but Frisk will bear with it.]

Hope puts them in the tunnels- um, outside the city. But the city's safe.

[Which partially answers her next question. They seek some better words, glancing back at her from time to time, trying to take note of whether or not her energy is waning. It's...hard, when they don't really know her. Don't know just how bad it is.]

People don't leave very often. I don't think you can choose when you go.
