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!

[steve remembers him, "sober him". he remembers how he couldn't imagine being that tall and broad-shouldered. It's a little easier now.]

Brooklyn.

[he smiled crookedly at him. sorry to disappoint, it's not camelot.]

If you barbecued 'em, we could put the meat to good use.

[ Oh, hey, wait a minute. Johnny pauses, then squints at him. He remembers a little guy, so much smaller than him, scrappy, too, and he leans closer to give him a good look.

Hell, this dude's bigger than him now. Broader, built like a brick shithouse. ]

Wait a minute. Steve?

[starspangled]

It's good to see you again, Johnny.

[he means it, reaching out to give the other man's shoulder a friendly squeeze. they seemed so broad to him before, and they still are. steve's just caught up to him.]

You still hot?

[c'mon steve, you have eyes, you should know the answer to that.]

[fulminants]

You too, man.

[ Johnny's obviously awed, his eyes admiring, because holy shit what a change. Smaller Steve had been cute, but this one now? This one's a stud. ]

I'm always hot. [ He grins wickedly at him, cheeky as always as he literally warms up under that hand to prove a point. It's not enough to burn, no; it's a comfortable but deliberate kind that proves he's the one doing it. ]

So! What're you doing back here?

[starspangled]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[steve's tempted to leave his hand there, let johnny heat it up as much as he wants and show him just how much he can handle now. but he's never really been the bragging type. it's one of the reasons he was chose for this in the first place.]

Maybe I just missed the place too much. Plus I have a little extra free time on my hands these days, so.

[he nods at the snake. might as well put it to good use.]

[fulminants]

Hmm.

[ Really, if Johnny's honest, Steve's surpassed him re: body size, but he doesn't care. Dude's easy on the eyes and he knows just why; Johnny can't help but recognise a resemblance to himself, and naturally gravitates to it.

He bends over to pick up what's left of the snake, making a face. ]

So, you've decided to be a snake killer.
