INTRO LOG: BLACK CATS & WALKING UNDER LADDERS

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for February.
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: February 10th-13th
Warnings: Fresh meat, creepy moving shadows, terrible luck, the screams of your loved ones.

Welcome to Hadriel, new friends. While waking up on the ground of a broken colosseum may not be the most pleasant arrival, you can at least find comfort in the fact that there's no giant monster immediately attempting to eat you. Plenty of the people already here will tell you that they weren't quite so lucky. But - wait. Is that something moving in the shadows, or is it just your imagination?

Of course it's not just your imagination. That would be way too easy. No, arriving along with everyone this time are wraiths, vengeful spirits that enjoy darkness, shadows, and misery. On the plus side, they won't try to kill you. On the minus side, their touch chills you and saps your energy, as well as inflicting a temporary curse of awful luck. Anything that can go wrong, will, including (and especially) things that might kill you. Wraiths are subtle and sneaky, so be sure to watch your back. That shadow isn't just a shadow.

Compounding the confusion the wraiths can cause, you just might wake up to the sound of chattering voices - only to be quite alone. A small flock of jabberjays has come through the Door as well. These genetically engineered birds are capable of mimicking entire human voices and conversations - as well as screams of terror and pain. Initially only in the arena and bringing only conversations from their world, they'll soon settle throughout the city and begin to learn the voices of those living in Hadriel. Your best friend screaming bloody murder just a street over? It could be them, or it could just be one of these lovely birds. Don't let it stress you out.

Once you've escaped the colosseum, hopefully without accidentally impaling yourself on your own weapon, feel free to go explore the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

[ The dog is not as scary as the person.... maybe. He's always been worried about other werewolves because they didn't care if they hurt people, but dogs were not werewolves... People could be scary, though. But the dog seemed friendly so he was just a little little bit more relaxed seeing that. ]

Th-the wall c-can't move so... [ so since Wolf is no wall he should have been able to. ]

No the, birds did tha-that I think...

[ But of course Wolf had all his parts. Since he died and went to Hell he had been unable to die again, he healed after getting hurt. ]

[ His timidness is disturbing. If it weren't likely that he'd fall or accidentally slap him in the face, Hawke really would pat his meek little head. ]

I'm not going to stab you, if that's what you're worried about.

[ Hawke holds his hands up, palms out. No weapons. No ill intent. He isn't stupid enough to try and make enemies on his first day in an unfamiliar place. (He doesn't have to try. It's a talent.) ]

We're friendly, aren't we, Dane?

[ His gaze falls down to the dog, jerking his head and giving him a pointed look as if to say, 'Be nice.' Dane complies, wagging his tail and... slobbering a bit. ]
