It's Sushi Time!

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for August
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: August 10th-16th
Warnings: Murdercrabs for the murdercave. A delicacy!


It's early in the morning when you feel the telltale thud of hitting hard-packed earth. Whether you're used to the feeling or not, you'll probably have a bruise or two from hitting the ground, which is another way to say Welcome to Hadriel!

In our beautiful city of Hadriel, you can find many treasures and wonders, like the creepy cat clocks, or the baby face cuckoo clocks, or some dali clocks, or... well, they're all clocks, and lucky for you, they all have different times set on their hands!

Be careful not to spend too much time lingering around with the timepieces, as there are monsters afoot! You should be careful or you'll be overrun by war crabs! These mollusk-like creatures are several feet in diameter and a few hundred pounds, so be careful when dealing with them! They're also capable of utilizing their steam-powered machinery to launch rusty grenades and musket bullets at you- don't think that close range is a good idea either, as their sharp pincers can amputate entire limbs, and they're quicker than they seem.

You might want to get out of this place as soon as possible- maybe one of the other folks around you can lend a hand? Sure, they might be just as confused as you, but there's strength in numbers, after all!

After you've 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!

► This log covers August 10th-16th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

What, you got something important going on? Saving the world? Stopping a zombie invasion? Overdue movie rental? Ice cream left out on the counter?

[ he gestures at her to take a seat. he's... looking for the tea. where does rome keep it. ]

No, asshole. I don't want anyone worrying about me.

[Mostly her brother, but whatever. Kyna sits, although she's perched on the edge nervously.]
danseur: (11)

[personal profile] danseur 2017-08-11 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ and he softens a little at that, because she manages to actually hit home. ] -- yeah, no, it'll be fine. They won't notice you're gone.

[ how do you brew tea? he realizes he actually has no idea. he's just going to make a pot of his closest approximation to what rome does... ]

[She nods, reaching up to toy with the pendant of her necklace, dragging it back and forth along its chain.]

Cool. So are the crab monsters normal here?

[There's someone he doesn't recognize in the house. With Morgan.

Rome furrows his brow as he hesitates on the front steps, before placing a hand at the firearm holstered at his hip. He doesn't draw it, not yet, but he opens the door, letting it creak outward, and calls out into the home.]


...Morgan?
danseur: (5)

[personal profile] danseur 2017-08-11 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, not the crabs exactly, but-

[ he trails off when the door opens, pouring two mugs of tea.

""""tea."""" ]


Found a stray. You thirsty?

[ he passes one of the mugs to kyna. godspeed. ]

[personal profile] evocation 2017-08-11 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Kyna takes the tea but doesn't drink it yet, because apparently she's prolonging her demise.]

I'm not a stray.
leashed: (21)

[personal profile] leashed 2017-08-11 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
She isn't a dog. Or a wolf, for that matter.

[She seems mostly harmless though, and Rome relaxes his shoulders a little, glancing between the two of them. Eventually though, he settles on Kyna with a curious expression.]

Are you alright?
danseur: (new1)

[personal profile] danseur 2017-08-11 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
You guys know that's just an expression, right?

[ he glances between the two of them, before handing rome the other mug of tea. it's probably going to be painful. ]

You guys know what expressions are?

[personal profile] evocation 2017-08-11 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Kyna instantly decides this new guy is nicer.]

I almost got shot by a giant robot crab, so...

[Wait, that was kind of rude when he's asking an honest question, so she reins it in.]

Sorry. I don't know. This sucks.
leashed: (15)

[personal profile] leashed 2017-08-11 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Rome takes the mug, looking into it for a moment, with a concerned expression. He inhales, considers, and then gently sets the tea aside on the counter before refocusing his attention on Kyna.]

Morgan brought you here because you were in danger?

[Props to him, I guess?]

I'm a member of the Guard. One of our duties is helping new people find their feet in this place. I'd be happy to be of assistance.
danseur: (new1)

[personal profile] danseur 2017-08-11 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, sure, and now Rome gets all the credit for being a goody-two shoes and helping some newbie out. You guys are dicks.

[ there isn't a surplus of chairs, so he's just going to kind of... seat himself on the counter and give romulus a curious look. ]

I thought you liked tea.
evocation: (pic#11589850)

[personal profile] evocation 2017-08-11 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Kyna rolls her eyes.]

Oh my god, chill. You were my knight in shining armor or whatever. Happy?

[And then she finally takes a sip of the tea and... Wow, that's bad. She wrinkles her nose before she can stop herself. Oops.]
leashed: (16)

[personal profile] leashed 2017-08-12 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't let it steep for long enough.

[He remarks bluntly, nodding toward Morgan.]

I will show you how to do it correctly later, if you like.
danseur: (32)

[personal profile] danseur 2017-08-12 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ he makes a face, trying not to seem as disheartened as he is. it's just tea, morgan. you've literally never cared about it before now. ]

Yeah, whatever.

[ he swings his legs, looking more childish than he should where he sits. ]

You need help finding a place to stay?
evocation: (pic#11589850)

[personal profile] evocation 2017-08-12 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so. I'm not...

[She pauses, staring down at the tea. Finding a place to stay feels too much like making this permanent, and she doesn't even know where her friends are.]

Are you sure the other people I was with aren't here? That doesn't make sense.
leashed: (10)

[personal profile] leashed 2017-08-17 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Likely not.

[He breaks the news bluntly.]

The only person here from my world is Morgan, and we hadn't exactly met before arriving here.
danseur: (new1)

[personal profile] danseur 2017-08-17 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and I fucking hate this guy.

[ said casually, like he's talking about clothes, as he shrugs in rome's direction and goes to pour some water for himself. ]

Chin up, buttercup. You'll make new friends.
evocation: (pic#11117188)

[personal profile] evocation 2017-08-17 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kyna wrinkles her nose at both of them.]

This blows. And I'm not gonna be friends with you if you call me buttercup again.
leashed: (21)

[personal profile] leashed 2017-08-20 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You shouldn't antagonize her, Morgan.

[Rome would sip his tea here, if it wasn't so heinous.]

You don't have many friends as it is.
