Intro Log: October 2014

[highseasmods]

WELCOME NEW CHARACTERS!
Have an intro log for the month of October!

Who: Any and all new characters, as well as anyone hanging out on or around Isla Empieza!
Where: Near the fountain in the town center.
When: New characters will arrive around October 10th! The log is good for as long as you need it.
What: You've just been dropped on your head in a weird new world. Time to figure out what the heck is going on!
Status: VERY OPEN.

It's cold. The day is cloudy and a chilly wind blows from the East, rattling the red and golden leaves of the forest just outside the town. There's a definite chill in the air and the residents of Empieza don't seem too happy either. Some are grumpy, others are going out of their way to be downright malicious, so be careful that the free beer isn't poisoned or the apples that are piled around in barrels don't contain anything you'd really regret eating.

The town even lends itself to a more sinister appearance with lanterns strung throughout and overhead, that at night, cast everything in an uncertain light and make the shadows seem longer and more dangerous. Ask the residents what they're for and they'll just give you a long look and say, somewhat cryptically: "You'll see."

HAVE FUN! And welcome to High Seas!

Jesse shrugged. "I've been told I'm a little reckless." Reckless, stupid, what was the difference, really? "Glad to be of help. It's a bitch at the beginning, here. You need everything you can get."

He finished his cigarette, then ashed it out on the wall. "That's probably all the help I can give you, though. Use your journal. Get down to the harbor to get a boat."

"As long as it doesn't get you killed, I'm sure you'll be fine." He could stand to be a little less blunt about it, but for now, there's little use of mincing words. Especially if they're all going to end up pirates in the end. In his limited naval experience, pirates are not the most couth of individuals.

"It's enough," he says, pushing himself off the wall and standing up a little straighter. "If you ever need something similar, feel free to look for me."

Jesse nodded appreciatively. "Thanks, man." He straightened up himself. "I'll keep it in mind."

He looked around at the crowd, then took a step forward. "See ya around," he tossed over his shoulder with a smile before blending into the crowd- as much as an obvious pirate wearing too-big clothes could.
