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!

No shit? Think I've seen those before.

[ Gladio chuckles, not that Tonberries are any laughing matter. Those little bastards pack a punch. He notices the sandshark approaching and produces his shield (with the same magical burst of light that makes his sword vanish) in preparation. Whatever, he can totally wrestle a shark. ]

So this is just normal here? Along with new people getting sacked in?

[hasitsthorns]

No kidding! Door pulls all kinds of stuff from other worlds, seems like, so-

[ Rose glances back at that sand shifting around a fin, a little wary as it draws quickly closer. Please, sir, do wrestle a shark. ]

-it wouldn't surprise me.

I just hope you guys don't get any daemons. Monsters, I can handle.

[ Watch and learn, lady. The shark leaps from the sand and moves to strike, but not before Gladio lunges at it with his shield, stuffing the shark's open mouth with it. With its body exposed, Gladio produces his sword into his other hand and cleaves it through the monster's body, slicing it well in half before he shakes it off his shield and onto the ground. It makes kind of a gross mess, but thankfully he can make his weapons disappear as quickly as they appeared. Means there's less mess.

Gladio wipes his hands on his pants. Just y'know, nbd. ]

Daemons, though. Those are a pain in the ass.

[hasitsthorns]

[ She's about to ask what daemons are but is understandably distracted by that impressive display of shark-killing skill. He's good at this. Really good. Perhaps better than he should be? Nah. It's cool. ]

Daemons, huh? Can't I'm familiar with those so we haven't seen 'em yet, I don't think. [ Though she hasn't explored the tunnels as much as the others nor has she been around as long, so... ] But knowing the gods, it wouldn't surprise me if they throw them at us before long.
