Okay, the issue with the gun. I didn't even think twice when I saw it. Sorry, Sezir, but no gun. Its to advanced for the time setting we're in.
Stryder, I don't think a dragon slayer is a good idea. I'm sure it would make for some nice subplots, but I think it will cause to many arguments. I mean, I certainly wouldn't let Dynamis be killed. I think it would initiate a huge amount of power playing.
Okay, any thing else I need to answer?

Okay, I got on my mom's phone to check in. My cable is supposed to turn back on over the weekend, so we'll see. It may still be a few more days.
If you guys feel like dropping, please don't drag out the process. I understand it sucks when you aren't getting any interaction, but remember this RP is still getting on its feet. If you need to leave, just do it. Posting sad little things in the OOC just makes me feel bad.
I read up on the OOC, and kinda skimmed IC. This phone sucks for RPG.
Our majority of members seem to be strong writers, and I can tell you guys are getting frustrated with the free-rpers. When I am back online, I will consider moving this to casual and tightening up the standerards. But for now, I need you guys to work it out.

Sorry. I thought I responded. Go ahead, you're good.
Riley had kind of lied to his dragon. His real reason for venturing into the woods was his unquenchable curiosity, and Dynamis' bulk would scare away wildlife Riley hoped to see.
Even from deep within the trees, Riley could tell the storm was starting to die off. Though an occasional drop of icy water still escaped the leafy cover and found its way into the collar of his shirt. Further into the woods, the tree trunks became thicker. A free breeze stirred his hair. The air smelled clean and fresh after the long downpour.
As he walked, Riley began to hear a sound like gurgling water. After a few more paces, he heard something else, too. Was that...... music?
He was so focused on the sound, he almost walked into an oak. Just to be safe, he stopped walking to listen. The sound was faint, and mixed in with the sound of running water, but he could definitely make out the sound of singing. He couldn't quite make out all the lyrics, but it seemed like a sad song.
The words were soft, and not unkind, but told a story of hurting.
Riley listened for a little while. When he decided to move on, he altered his course so he wasn't headed straight for the singer. The last thing he wanted was to stumble upon one of his party trying to take a bath in the river. Plus, the voice was definitely female, and that would be even worse.
The boy hadn't heard any music in a while. The song must have triggered something in his memories, because he caught himself humming a song his mother used to sing to him and his brother when they were little. He didn't remember the words, but he remembered how soothing and sweet it was. He sung it to Dynamis when he first hatched, but could not for the life of him find the lyrics.
He stopped abruptly, punching his first into his palm as he remembered a verse.
”Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day; Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away.” He murmured. Riley jumped when he heard a loud snarl. He automatically backed up against a tick tree and reached for his bow. He cursed his stupidity when he realized he left it in Dynamis' pack. Instead, he came up with his dagger. He held the weapon with the point angled toward where the sound came from. Although he was never as good at swordplay as his big brother, he could hold his own, and the dagger felt completely natural in his hands.
The bushes to his left quivered and he heard another growl. It was softer this time, but somehow more threatening. Riley's stance remained facing forward, resisting the urge to turn toward the sound and expose his back. With the tree directly behind him, he protected his blind spot.
He had never tried it from this distance, but he reached out for Dynamis through their mental link. ”I need you!”
The brush stirred again, this time from his right. Then he heard something the would give him nightmares. The snarls had turned into a soft, gravelly laugh. After the first, others joined in, each more horrible then the last.
Riley winced when he felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by a chilling voice in his mind. “Hello, little boy.”
The boy gasped, one hand releasing the dagger and gripping his forehead. He looked around him frantically, the pain starting to elevate his fear. His heartbeat pounding in his ears, accompanied by the sound of more sneering laughter.
”Whats the matter, little boy?”
“Does it hurt, little boy?”
“Let us help you.”
“Are you hungry, too, little boy?”
“......little boy....... little boy...... are you scared, little boy?”
The pain increased the more they spoke, many voices filling his head. He tried to reach for his dragon, but he couldn't focus. The pain spread from his head down his spine, ripping through his mind and body like flames. Now in a frantic state, he struggled to keep a hold on his weapon. His hands were shaking, and he looked around wildly. He saw brief glimpses of scarred, fury muzzles and unnaturally large teeth. The dark voices continued to circle in his mind, echoing a chant. They were wild, crazed, hungry.
“SHUT UP!” Riley screeched, panic and pain taking over. One of the creatures leap from the brush. It resembled a canine, but had eyes that held a fierce intelligence. Riley moved quickly, and the creature's teeth and claws tore into the tree he had been using for cover. He took off running, back the way he had come. Everything felt like it was moving painfully slow, the pain starting to blur his vision. There wasn't enough room in his twelve year old mind for so many voices.
He heard his pursuers crashing through the woods behind him. By the sound of it, there were a lot of them. He didn't dare look back, instead keeping his head down as he ran. He fell forward as a set of claws raked across his shoulders, and screamed out in pain. He quickly regained himself and clambered to his feet, setting off again. A gray body blurred past in front of him, making him skid and trip again. Once again, he got up and continued running.
Riley didn't need much more evidence. They clearly had no problem keeping up. They were playing with him. It wasn't terribly far until camp now. He caught sight of the river, and steered to avoid it. He definitely didn't need to try and fight the things waist deep in water.
He was thirty paces from camp before he was able to get through to Dynamis. His mind was in such a state of disarray that he could not express an actual thought to his dragon. It wasn't necessary, because as soon as the connection was made, Dynamis could read all of Riley's pain and fear.
Dynamis let out an enraged roar, alerting the entire woods, just before Riley crashed into the clearing that was their camp.

Simple things are fine. You want there to be a river? That's cool, I like rivers. Just don't like, spontaneously decide to have some huge thing happen, like an alien evasion or something wacked up like that. Small things like rivers and the rain letting up let me know I need to start something, cause you guys want something interesting to RP.
So, leave the aliens up to me. I will go write up a nice little something for you to do now.

Wow, I use the word 'something' a lot.

I didn't know you take karate, Mizu. So do I.
Arg, I hate math. 
I just got a C on my last exam, and that big stupid letter is ruining my report card.
I just got a C on my last exam, and that big stupid letter is ruining my report card.There was a great deal of commotion in their little camp at this point. Riley was busy preparing their meal while Dynamis looked over his shoulder. The boy looked up as someone entered the camp. She cheerfully introduced herself as Maria Jaya, her dragon Elian.
"Finally!" Riley exclaimed, "A happy person." He shot Maria a welcoming smile, his head tilted slightly in a cute, boyish way.
Dynamis snorted distastefully. "Kiss up."
Suddenly, the fire was snuffed out. There was a sudden stir of movement and a few startled shouts. Riley was more annoyed then frightened. Couldn't they see he was trying to cook? The fire was only out for a few seconds when it relit. When the light returned, Riley noticed Dynamis' reaction. The dragon had his teeth bared, chest puffed out, and a fierce look in his eyes. His gaze shifted to the boy, and he asked telepathically, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, buddy. You worry to much." Riley stood up as he spoke. He looked around the camp at the others. Someone must've thought that putting the fire out would be a funny joke, but it seemed to put everyone on edge.
It had been several hours, and Riley had dozed off. He lay between Dynamis' front legs, nuzzled up against his warm chest. Although his scales were hard, they were smooth and not at all uncomfortable. The boy always slept better with his dragon then in a bed, anyway.
The rabbits didn't go very far, but it was enough to give everyone a few bites. For Riley, it was just enough to make him even more hungry. He stirred when his stomach growled. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, looking at his dragon sleepily. "How long have I been asleep?" He asked through their mental link.
"A little under two hours." Dynamis replied, "I like you more when you're sleeping. You're quite."
"Yeah, yeah, I haven't heard that one before. You're worst then Keith." Riley yawned and crawled out of his warm cubby. "I gotta pee. I'll be right back." He told his dragon.
"I'll go with you."
"I'm a big boy, I can handle it." Riley grumbled, leaving before his dragon could complain. He snuck past his brother, sure he would be scolded for leaving on his own, and walked deeper into the woods.
