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!

It's all that Wakandan food.

[there's a smile in his voice, steve just standing there for a few moments before drawing back enough to look at bucky's face.]

Did you leave too?

[steve's frowning softly, eyes darting to bucky's missing arm. maybe something else took it off here, but steve really hates to think about what could've done that.]

[wipedclean]

Yeah.

[That comment tells Bucky everything he needs to know. He smiles sadly.]

Went down in cryo and woke up here.

[starspangled]

Did you just get back?

[somehow steve doesn't think so. it was the look on Bucky's face when he came through the door.]

How long was I gone?

[wipedclean]

No, I've been back about a month.

[He scratches his chin as he considers.]

I was gone for about a month before that, I guess, it kind of messed up my idea of time here, but... four months? About that, I think.

[starspangled]

[steve sighs heavily at that, but it's mostly relief. it could've been much worse, much longer that bucky was trapped here without him.]

You didn't get a new roommate, did you? [there's a teasing little smirk with the words.] Four months is plenty of time to get a ne roommate.

[wipedclean]

[Bucky makes a bit of a face.]

Oh yeah, had to fight 'em off with a stick when they found out you'd left. I've got five roommates now, no space for you, sorry.

[starspangled]

Now I regret not being small again.

[there was always space for him then. steve smirks at him. the teasing feels a little bit like old times.]

Anything I should know about?

[or he could just throw himself right back into things. it is the steve rogers way.]

[wipedclean]

[Bucky snorts at the first part, then shrugs at the second.]

Been trying to figure that out myself, honestly. A few more gods around than last time, but seems like the status quo hasn't changed all that much. I've just been trying to find things to do.

[Things that don't involve killing stuff.]
