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!

Enlighten me.

[ morgan pauses where he stands, back still to rome. he's going to dig through his pocket, then, digging out one of the very last of his slightly crumpled cigarettes. his hand is shaking a little as he lights it. ]

How does it work?

[leashed]

[He watches him, conflicted- but not so conflicted that he neglects his duty.]

If I know where you live, I can respond to any potential threat faster.

[As well as keep tabs on him, check up on him during full moons, annoy him, generally make his life a living hell- for all that that isn't really Rome's intention, he knows that most of the registered beings really seem to hate it when he visited. He's not sure why, either- isn't keeping everyone safe the goal here?

His mouth tightens a little when he smells the ash in the cigarette, the strike of spark and smoke in the lighter, and he says, without thinking-]

-those are bad for you.

[danseur]

Why would you be responding to any threats?

[ yep. rome, congrats: it is literally your mere existence that is making this guy's life a living hell. ]

I don't need or want your supervision, protection, or guidance. [ he takes an exaggerated drag on the cigarette, too, which is a gesture born entirely out of obstinence, since he'd been carefully rationing these since his arrival. ] Do we have an understanding?

[leashed]

[Rome's nose wrinkles at the sudden whiff of smoke- he doesn't know how Morgan can stand it, being so close to the vile thing, but there are more important things in play here.

Like the fact that Morgan is now trying to dictate the terms between them. That's not how this is going to go down.]

I meant threats from you.
