Intro Log: Welcome to the Snave (snake cave)

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for March
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: March 10th-15th
Warnings: Snakes! Snakes! It's a snake!

Good morning, new arrivals! Or, well, it's probably morning. The sun is up, anyway. Okay - not the sun, but that ball of light at the top of the cave that functions as the sun, anyway. Whatever. The point is you've woken to find yourself on the floor of Hadriel's colosseum. You may be wondering where you are and what you're doing here, but what you should be wondering is how fast you need to run to get away from a three-headed snake.

You're not the only one who just woke up. Also to be found in the arena, angry and confused, are Runespoors - large three-headed snakes. Only one of the heads is venomous, but all of them are perfectly willing to take a bite out of you if you get too close - or if you annoy it. If you're lucky, an attacking Runespoor may distract itself via infighting between the three heads, giving you time to run. If not, well, let's just hope you can fight off all three heads at once!

But that's not the only thing you might find. Also scattered around the colosseum floor are what look like tasty snacks. Popsicles, cheese, even toast! Unfortunately, if you get hungry and take a bite, you will quickly discover that each and every one of these is actually soap. So that's great. Maybe the Door thinks everyone needs to shower more? You can also find a few that actually look like soap, and if you're really lucky, you might stumble across the rare and coveted 'pile of baby hands' soap.

With luck, you didn't get eaten by a snake or accidentally eat a piece of soap. 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!

( She's looking for something for Hannah when Beth hears the voice, her head looking around before seeing the boy. Beth's never looked for comics herself, not even knowing if there would be any there but maybe-- )

I haven't heard anyone mention them but if there wasn't any I'd be surprised.

( They have so many different things here how could there not be a comic? )

I'll help you look.

[quacked]

Really? Thanks!

[ Happy for any help, Duck leads her over to a corner he hasn't checked yet. ]

I only have nine comic books now and I've read them a million times. I had loads more, but they were lost.

[edibles]

( She begins searching once they're at the corner, a small smile at his enthusiasm. It was sad that he'd been pulled here, someone so young, but if she could find something to help him it'd be good )

Hopefully we can find you some more then. What kind do you like?

i have been informed they won't find any comics, alas ;;

[quacked]

Superheroes. You know Batman? Those are my favourite.

[ He finds a can of beans at the back of a shelf and pulls a face a little, then reluctantly puts it in his backpack. ]

so sad!

[edibles]

Yeah, I know Batman.

( There's also maybe one other superhero that Beth could name but that's probably as far as it goes )

Why do you like him?

[quacked]

Why wouldn't I?! He's a superhero. And he doesn't even have special powers - he uses his brains and became the greatest detective ever.

[ Duck has a lot of feelings about this. ]

And he has Robin. Robin's cool too. I met Damian Wayne, y'know - that's Batman's son - he was one of my best friends.

[edibles]

You met Damian Wayne?

( Beth's quite dubious about that, thinking it might be a fake name or someone unfortunately also named that rather than it actually being Damian Wayne )

[quacked]

Yeah! Me and him and my friend Clementine lived together. They taught me a lot, about fighting and surviving and stuff.

[ He face falls then. ] But he - he and Clem, they died.

[edibles]

Shit.

( Beth doesn't know quite what to do, or how to react to that. She's had her friends die here... she knows how it feels, and looks saddened by his words )

I'm sorry. I get what it's like.
