INTRO LOG: BLACK CATS & WALKING UNDER LADDERS

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!

Uh-huh. [cliff gives peter a suitably dubious look for that. because look, there's not hating yourself and then there's being unnecessarily smug and peter you've crossed right over that line several times just now.

and then he's just simply scowling in disgust.
] Ugh. You sound like some kind of motivational speaker or something you realize that?

[peter shakes his head and waves a hand with a pssh sort of sound.]

Nah, there's no money to be made off suckering you. But I'm also being kinda literal. My mom and I, we move around a lot. Every time you go, you pick what shit to keep and you leave the rest behind. It's not a bad way to live.

[personal profile] thebigredog 2016-02-29 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah well some shit you can't leave behind.

[cliff tells him tetchily, though with very little heat behind his words because he's busy thinking about his own mom's escape from gerogia and how easily he could have been something she left behind as well.

sometimes people were things too.

Yeah, yeah, wherever you go, there you are and all that. But the more baggage you carry around the harder it is to get up and go again.

[sometimes people are things, even to peter. but he'd never consider a mother's son as a thing that she could leave behind like that. then again, peter has an exceptional mother.]
thebigredog: (clothes of many colors)

i have no idea where gerogia is but i'd probably want to leave too tbh

[personal profile] thebigredog 2016-03-01 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Get up and go where?

[rolling his eyes and gesturing to the ceiling far above them with one hand.] I didn't exactly make the choice to come here, and I'm not going to fucking Colorado either, okay?

[because whatever trouble he gave his mom on a daily basis by simply being himself, cliff did love his mom, understood everything she had done for him over the years. leaving might be easier in the long run but the truth of the matter was that between her and his little brother he simply didn't want to.

the problem was he couldn't figure out what to do instead of running (there was a reason running as a wolf always calmed him down, cliff wasn't stupid).
]
werewolfing: (these are the things; the things we lost)

any place named podunk is a place you probably want to leave

[personal profile] werewolfing 2016-03-02 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Anywhere? I donno, my mom and I have lived all over. Pretty much everywhere has something to see, even if it's only worth passing through. Options are more limited for the moment. What's wrong with Colorado?

[peter never mentioned anything about leaving family. in fact, his mother was the one person he didn't leave. of course, she'd had to leave him, in the end, but that wasn't either of their first choice.]

excuse u but also tru

[personal profile] thebigredog 2016-03-05 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah well mom likes Podunk so I'm fucking stuck there for now. [he wrinkles his nose and shakes his head and adds:] Or here I guess. Not that there seems to be much of a fucking difference between the two so far.

Colorado is full of those crazy fucks that try to eat people. [cliff reminds him. sourly.]
werewolfing: (i was left to my own devices)

[personal profile] werewolfing 2016-03-07 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Unless Podunk is a giant cave occupied by dumb gods and occasionally invaded by weird-ass monsters, I feel like there should be some kind of difference.

Okay, fine, people who eat people are a reason not to like a place.

[says the guy with the upir best friend who...kind of sorta eats people? some of people? a little bit?]
thebigredog: (me in my finery)

[personal profile] thebigredog 2016-03-07 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently there are caves in Podunk. [cliff says with a dull shrug.]

I haven't actually seen them so I guess this place could even be in Podunk. Which doesn't exactly do me any good if I can't figure out how to get out of the caves anyway.

Hopefully Oscar can come up with something to tell my mom. [the dude wasn't exactly good at lying though, so it wasn't promising.]
werewolfing: (i was left to my own devices)

[personal profile] werewolfing 2016-03-07 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
We're not in Podunk. The moon's all fucked up, can't you tell? Also, time is wonky as fuck, so probably nobody knows you're missing.

[peter says all this like it's really obvious. how do you not know about the moon, cliff? you're the worst werewolf ever.]
thebigredog: (when i'm in my finery)

[personal profile] thebigredog 2016-03-07 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Why would I be able to tell? [cliff switches off quickly from giving peter an extremely dubious look to directing an even more pointed look up at the roof of the cave.] It's not like I can fucking see it down here.

[if being the worst werewolf means he doesn't tear his own skin off every month, he's kind of okay with that to be honest.]

It'd probably take her awhile to notice anyway.
