Who: New arrivals - everybody!
What: Welcome to Hadriel. Enjoy the bears.
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: October 10th-17th
Warnings: Bears, made of bear meat. Possibly bear attacks. General confusion.

You awaken on the sandy ground of the colosseum. Its half-ruined walls rise around you, stretching up to the sky - or what passes as the sky, as instead of blue sky and clouds you'll only see a rocky ceiling far above, with a bright source of light illuminating the cave.

Where are you? What are you doing here? Who are all these other people? Pressing questions, but far more pressing right now are the giant, hungry dire bears who seem to have appeared here along with you, and who are now waking up as well. And boy, do they not seem happy about it.

Once you've fought, run away, or successfully hid from the bears, you've got an entire city to explore. Sure, a lot of it is in ruins and it's totally empty, except for you, your fellow arrivals, and the bears, but there's things to be found and stuff to investigate. You can even find a house to live in if you're one of those fancy types who prefers not to sleep on the streets.

Unfortunately, one thing that can't be found at first is food. Hopefully you brought some with you or you managed to kill a bear or two, because the city is entirely empty of food until the 13th of October, when you will awaken to a gift of food on your doorsteps. Some of it might be strange-looking and alien, but hey, at least it's edible, and you didn't even have to kill anything to get it! Someone's feeling generous. After this, food and other items will be able to be found in the various stores around the city, though if you're looking for something specific, you might not have any luck.

Not long after, on the 15th, the electricity in the houses - and the rest of the restored parts of the city - will sputter to life. Hopefully you're not too near any lights or outlets when that happens, because there's a fair chance of exploding bulbs and sparks flying. At least you can turn the lights on now, though!

So now you've got food and electricity, the bears are all either dead or have fled into the caves around the city (you didn't go too far in there, right?). Things are looking up! Except for the whole 'trapped in an alien city, what the hell are we doing here' thing. But that's probably not important, right?

Yes. And it's a good question, we don't actually know a thing about the water quality here. I assume we've all just been drinking it without asking questions, but the likelihood is that we actually shouldn't.

[Yet another element to consider.]

Supplies, and drugs. Drugs are the difficult one.

[greywaren]

Seems like it.

[And not something he's a hundred percent sure he can actually help with. Magic pills that just do things- crash you into your dreams, render you immobile- those he's seen before, those he could maybe create. But things with purpose and complex chemical compounds are a little more difficult, and he doesn't want anyone playing test subject for him.

So he kicks at the ground with a callous shrug.]

Sucks to be all of us, I guess. How far are we from your friend or whatever?

[zen_en_vert]

Ten more minutes walking, maybe, if I haven't gotten turned around. This place can be a maze when you're running helter-skelter from a bear.

[It's easy to get turned around in.]

[greywaren]

Great.

[It's sarcastic of course, but he continues to follow all the same. For better or for worse, he's pretty much in Bruce's hands for now.]
