Intro Log: None Hadriel With Left Shark

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for February
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: February 10th-16th
Warnings: Shark week

Once more, new arrivals will wake up on the ground level of the ruined colosseum. There isn't anything particularly comforting about it, either- everything is a bit cold and impersonal and there is, of course, the fact that nobody remembers just how they managed to wind up here in the first place. That can all be explained in time, though- until then, you've got quite a bit on your plate already.

And why is that? Well, that may be because you're also surrounded by sharks.

Yes, on land.

It doesn't mean that they're totally incapacitated though- you still have your two headed sharks, your giant sharks, and your sharktopus that are more than capable of flopping in your general direction before taking you into a death roll. And don't forget the (far more dangerous) sand sharks, capable of swimming through the ground as if it were water itself. You might want to start to find a life raft high ground soon.

But hey, if you manage to get away from the sharks, feel free to help yourself to one of the odd food shaped blankets. These cozy comforters are perfect for your new bed, but they tend to carry a faint scent of the food they represent, so be sure not to sleep on an empty stomach!

Listen to the Jaws theme, grab a harpoon, and get cozy! On your way to safety, make sure to 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!

oh no... you didn't, it was my fault... i'm still trying to get the hang of using legs...?

[Napstablook trails off as they finally recognize the source of the voice. It's their... well, Napstablook doesn't want to make any assumptions about them being friends.]

oh... it's the human... i didn't know you were here too.
today seems to full of familiar faces...

[And yet Napstablook still hasn't thought to tell Frisk their name, forgetting that they look totally different now.]

Destroy me I am so sorry I didn't even realize I'd messed up the pronouns

[save_theworld]

[They're still- what? Frisk blinks down at them, slightly taken aback- hand still held out, waiting to be taken. Have they met?

Did they meet on the surface?

They try not to stiffen up at the thought- but then, they called them a human, so no..]

Um.

Do I know you?

[soundtest]

[The response causes Napstablook to almost immediately apologize and tries to back out of the situation by saying they thought Frisk looked like another human.

But then they realize that they're the one who looks different right now. They manage to stop themselves, but they still feel so awkward. They couldn't even call themselves a monster right now.]

oh right... sorry...
it's not the right body, but it's napstablook... i forgot to mention earlier

[save_theworld]

[It's...you?



They think? Maybe. There's a long silence, steadily growing more awkward as Frisk slowly blinks, gears whirring inside their mind. Then they squint. Then they look them over, from head to toe, slowly playing the game of name association atop characteristics, and-

Mettaton did it. Why not Napstablook.]

I didn't



Recognize you.

[But it's a Small Shock, to say the least.]

[soundtest]

[Napstablook sure doesn't feel like it's them. It's not normal. It's not how you become corporeal. They would've had to been aware at some point. Enough to feel something strong enough to bind them to this body and when would they have-

A-ah... they're tearing up again. Maybe this wasn't the best place to think about this.]

oh... i don't blame you... i wouldn't recognize me either
the last thing i remember was a flash of light and then i was here... in this body...
i can't get unstuck... i don't think this was supposed to happen

[save_theworld]

[What does it feel like, to belong in a body that doesn't belong to you? Chara would know; Frisk had never really thought to ask, however. It can't be fun. It's probably terrifying, to look in the mirror and see- not you.

Just someone else.]

I'm sorry. I met another ghost here; she doesn't have a body though.

[Why Napstablook is like this, and she isn't, they can't begin to explain.]

...Bodies aren't so bad. It could be fun?
