Intro Log: Welcome to the Snave (snake cave)

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!

I never would have guessed. [Despite almost being snake-food, Jacob musters up a warm grin at Duck as he hauls himself to his feet. He's sure Duck's found his balance well enough, but a hand still rests on the boy's shoulder. Just in case.]

Don't focus on what's below you. [Like, people eating snakes and impending doom if they fell,] Look around. What do you think those pointy things are? [He gestures out to the housing spires with his free hand. The view was gloomy, sure, but it's not all that bad.]
quacked: ([hm] look at that)

[ Duck gets up too, grateful for the hand and managing not wobble too much as he looks out over the scenery. The tall spires are certainly... something. Still, it's really not bad. ]

Like skyscrapers? But pointier and stranger.

[ It's all stranger, really. Are they in a big cave? ] Where are we? This place isn't like any I've seen before. It's not the Box...

[Jacob has no idea what skyscrapers are, but he's not about to admit that to some kid. There's no telling how much Duck would poke fun at how old he apparently is. He has some concerns in other things, anyway.]

Someone put you in a box?
quacked: ([hm] ...really!)

[personal profile] quacked 2017-03-26 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No... [ He laughs a little, shaking his head. ] Well, not really. Me and a bunch of people got kidnapped and put in this big square city by these guys called the Technicians. The Box was just a nickname 'cause we couldn't leave...

Well... out of the frying pan and into the fire? [Jacob tries to smile, but there's something just too unsettling of imagining this child being kidnapped for someone else's amusement.]

If you wind up in a spot of trouble again, come looking for Jacob Frye. This might not be a Box, but... [He peers over his shoulder, back at the retreating snakes.] Who knows if that's for better or worse.
quacked: ([ha] your ward!)

[personal profile] quacked 2017-03-31 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[ Things usually end up worse, in Duck's experience. It definitely doesn't seem better. ]

Okay, Jacob... I'm Duck, and you can look for me, too! If you're ever in trouble. [ Because you never know when a regular skinny eleven year old with a pistol might be handy? ]
