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!

[When Noctis closes that space between them, Ardyn doesn’t move. He looks down at him, that immeasurable condescension etched onto his features probably all the more prominent from being this close. And there’s something about him, frustratingly so, that seems almost pleased to hear Noctis speak to him in such a way. It may be baffling, but it could also be easily chalked up to the fact that the man merely enjoys seeing Noctis so riled up, so frustrated, so angry.

(When it’s really his determination that pleases him the most. This is what he wanted to see — a spark of fire, something for him to keep well alive with his wheedling and prodding and biting criticism.)

He actually tilts his head down at him, his lips twisted into a skewed grin.]

Oh, don’t mistake me, Noctis. Our obligations have gone absolutely nowhere. It’s merely the setting that’s changed.

[At the threat, Ardyn actually huffs out a laugh. What irony. It’s almost too much to bear.]

If you wish to reclaim your throne, I do hope you intend on becoming stronger than what I had witnessed in the armory. A weak, vacillating King is no King at all.
