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!

Well, geez, I'd hope not. [Shuuya chuckles. He's fine with doing all the talking if this guy doesn't want to.]

I mean, I had some interesting situations growing up as a kid, so some of this feels like home. But I can't say I grew up expecting these kinds of weird situations. Waking up in some weird cave like I'm a gladiator in Rome or something. [He gives a shrug.] But, I guess you just gotta roll with the punches, am I right?

[ Fill the silence Shuuya because this guy sure won't. ]

.......

[ That line has him turning back to look at him. Home? ]

[lionhearrt]

[ He studies him. ]

You learn or you get swallowed up by the world.

[deceiving_is_believing]

[If Shuuya is aware that he's being studied, he's giving no sign of it. He just keeps leading the way. When he gets to a large door, he stops in his step before it, not facing Mikoto.]

....What do you think happens to those who get swallowed into the Void?

[It's kind of an off-the-wall question, said casually enough, and Mikoto may have no idea what he's talking about. And it's the vagueness of the question that Shuuya is clinging to. He wants just enough of an answer, and nothing else. to leave no clues to his past.]

[lionhearrt]

[ Mikoto has been around long enough to understand there's more to that question than meets the eye. He's accepted all sorts of people into his clan and some, like Eric, didn't come from clean beginnings. ]

They disappear.

[ He looks up, blowing out a stream of smoke. ]

And if they're lucky, someone remembers them.

[deceiving_is_believing]

I see... [He supposes that means there's no hope then, but he had kind of suspected as much.

He pushes the door open, leading into the caves and turns back to Mikoto after he steps through them, grinning.]

Welp, this is it, then. The way out as I promised.

[lionhearrt]

[ Mikoto steps through the gates, taking a moment to look at the world around him. He stretches, flexing his power. It's a far cry from Shizume City but it would do. ]

See you around kid.
