Revival of the Dragon Riders

Duncan nodded. "That is alright." He said. He wanted to add 'your highness' to it but he didn't know if Noble would like that. Besides when they were travelling it probably was best to keep it low. The less that knew the better. Only those that could be trusted and when they couldn't be overheard could know. "You might want to work on your order giving skill before we reach the dwarves though," Duncan added while he filled the saddlebags with some of the dried meat and his water bottles with water. "The last part makes you seem doubtful."
Duncan was glad Trevor came along too, they might need his expertise.

Alan laughed before he nodded in agreement with Ricki's words. "I almost hope we run into trouble just to hear that song. But killing boredom is a great asset, it will be better than you all having to listen to my boring stories." Alan turned to Rai. "Of course, we can surely use an experienced dragon rider amongst us rookies."
Alan took a bit of the leftover food and put it in his bag. "Everyone ready? I think our best bet is the small harbour city in the east, it is not as busy as the main harbour city."

Gnol was soon ready and walked up to Noble. "I will give you a crash course on how to best behave with the dwarves. We'll get you to be a self-assured rightful heir to the throne." Gnol sounded more confident then he felt. his first impression hadn't been exactly confident Royalty when he saw Noble. But time would tell. "I hope you like ale," he added with a big grin.

Crreessa looked at RedClaws. "Maybe we should go on alone." Reclaws tilted his head. "Maybe, although part of me wants to see what is left of the order." Crreessa shrugged. "Fine by me." she said "Damien is cute too, at least there is some eye-candy along the way" she added mentally as she walked up to Rachel. "We are coming with you." Redclaws was speechless for a bit. "First time I heard someone describe a male as eye-candy. Your brother only discussed females. I warn you now. I didn't care then and I don't care now. you can ask a thousand times but I will not agree nor disagree to a perceived beauty of any two-legged humanoid and I will not share in any gossip" Creessa chuckled. "Spoilsport." "But if it will make you feel better I will only comment on Rachel from now on"
redClaws shook his head. "You tease as much as your brother too, I hope I have the strength to endure it." Creessa flashed a big grin to her dragon.

Beyond the Borders of the Universe (Salenea&SporkoBug)

Jill nodded and sighed, not her proudest moment in her opinion when Ash got hurt. She didn't like to feel that helpless. Now she felt better. There were things to take off, things to organise. "Ash is injured indeed. And yes please, help me get back to the ship. I won't make it on my own."
She didn't mind admitting to that or accepting help when it was needed.

Alan and Gnol didn't find many things. The most valuable Alan had found was a piece of equipment with a blade made of a rare kind of metal. Other then that he found some small things that weren't exactly valuable but more convenient to have. The couple of scrolls Gnol had been schematics of the place mostly and with some standard information about the planet as in day length, general mineral deposits and the mineral Traff was mining. At least Gnol considered it a mineral. One of the scrolls had some print he couldn't understand but he figured Ash or Seb could figure it out.
"I think Traff his books, magic items or whatever he possessed were not here or hidden so well that we can't find it." Alan said when he met Gnol again.
Gnol nodded. "We can always come back in protective suits to search later, if Ash suspects there is a treasure room or safe or secret study he is the one who can find it."

Treghor made it to the ship pretty quickly with his frog-like jumps. He was parched from the exercise and his legs felt awfully wobbly. But he made it. He went to the main entrance and walked into the first part of the airlock. Conditions weren't that bad outside yet so it didn't take long at all before she opened the airlock on the inside. "Welcome back." she said
Treghor nodded and after mumbling a thank you, he went to his work station to preserve what he could and properly document everything he had found and learned. He made a note to talk to the biologist to see what her findings were.

Hidden Claws [1x1 Salenea and Sporko]

Faber nodded once to accept the thank you. He waited patiently for Ash to get around the table and lead the way. Vivianne wamled up to her husband and took his arm.
"I haven't seen all of it but I suppose she will." Faber agreed. "At least you can rest assured that Marigold will honour that hard work you have put in it and not destroy the hard work." Faber continued.
Vivianne nodded in agreement. "She is an angel and she did all of our gardens. She isn't the type of person to make drastic changes if they are not needed."

Marigold smiled and started to follow the little bird. She paused as she heard some alarming sounds of other birds. It was hard to pinpoint sounds but she thought she heard something that did make her feel on edge just before the alarming sounds of the birds started.
"I'd better hurry." she said and she walked quickly in the direction the little bird had gone too. Marigold noticed a sturdy branch on the ground, about the size of her arm, and after a small hesitation she picked it up. "Better be safe than sorry." she thought even though she didn't feel really scared but she was more careful because she expected a wild animal to cause some disruption to the birds their songs.

Hazel looked at the cottage and the white picket fence around it. All that she saw and heard made her think it was quite an average family. Besides the curse. The dream of quite some girls she knew.
With kids and all. Hazel sighed. Kids was not something she could handle well. Keith could, easily, but Hazel wasn't very good with kids.
"Playing somewhere?" Hazel offered. That was what kids do right? She didn't know. She did hope they wouldn't bother them too much when they were inside.

Duncan glanced amused towards Madeline when she said it was nice. Ah the courtliness. Modest, polite and elegant. he had to admit he admired it in Madeline. That and her loyalty towards the princess of course. There weren't many people out. The day shift hadn't ended yet and the staff was busy making dinner.
Duncan was glad that he could make his own schedule a bit, not that he would stop fulfilling his duties or be distracted from his tasks but he would sure try to do more of this in his free time.

"It is not often played by noblewoman I suppose but it is a great game, I prefer it over any card game."
not that he wouldn't play cards with his fellow Guards but still, a nice game of chess was what he preferred. There probably were some card games the noblewomen would play but not all of them liked it as far as he knew. "But we could start with checkers if chess seems to difficult to start with."

He couldn't help wondering what kind of books she read. "Tell me, mylady, what kinds of books do you read? Poetry? Fairytales? informative books? Adventurous tales?"

Keith flashed a grin to Rory as she said 'apparently not' "Awesome." he replied. Ignoring the sharp look in her eyes and the foul look he glanced at her sparse breakfast, it wouldn't fill a hollow tooth of him but he'd seen more in here who hardly eat. Keith put some of the cheese on a slice of bread and ate a bit.

He glanced at her again when he thought he heard a sound from here, somewhere between a grunt and a hiss like sound.
he swallowed his food when she introduced herself reluctantly.
"Pleasure to meet you Rory. I assume that we haven't talked before is just because of our busy schedules prevented it. I am positive no one would on purpose try to evade me." he said with a big grin.
A little sparkle in his eyes gave away that he was joking at this time and not meant it although when he was having his episodes he would truly believe no one would evade him, awesome as he is.
"The muffin looks delicious, maybe I should grab on one the way out." he remarked friendly before he continued to eat with big bites, occasionally drinking some milk to wash it down.

Keith chuckled as Rory said that he could be deranged for picking her as company. Her piercing teal eyes meeting his. He appreciated that, more then enough of the people here wouldn't meet his eyes, either because of their illness or the side effects of their drugs.
"I'm in for delusional disorder." he said like he was serving time. "Mostly grandiose delusions. The I-can-shape-into-a-griffin ones or -I-believe-I-can-fly ones. I learned the hard way that in fact I cannot fly. Even though I didn't at the time, even when I was lying on the concrete trying to figure out what went wrong, not once did I think 'he, maybe I can't fly' I was more thinking in the terms of 'there must have been a downdraft or something.' oh well, the meds keep things in perspective I suppose." He nodded slightly before he ate some of the grapes he had picked.

He tilted his head slightly. "And what's on your record?" he asked. "paranoia? hmm, no you aren't looking around enough for that. Maybe multi-personality?" Keith wasn't the best in getting the diagnosis right but he always tried. He at least was improving on narrowing it down. It helped that he talked to a lot of the residents.

Sarah wondered how it would be, parting with pokemon that you shared so much with as £regan was describing her old team. She could hear the fondness in the ranger her voice. Gira would always stay with her that was for sure, she had her since she was in her egg. Saur seemed to like hanging around too. She stopped her thoughts, it was not needed to think about it now. She would deal with in the future when it was needed to be dealt with.

Sarah contemplated about the vehicle. Regan was right about the rest. "Well, a vehicle wouldn't be able to get everywhere. some paths are narrow or so rugged it is hard to drive. And the sound might scare away the Onix." she finally said. It would be more convenient and faster but perhaps not the best way to get around here. Best bet would be a bicycle or motorcycle but Sarah had neither and couldn't drive anyway.
"But I am glad Rapier found a clue already, saves a whole lot of time wandering around. And narrow the area of search down a lot.

Sarah sure had felt that way with Gira; a bond where she could understand as good as if they spoke, but since Gira was half psychic she always thought it might be because of that. She hadn't considered it might be the bond instead, especially since her Girafarig didn't have very strong psychic abilities as her Abra had. The offer to help with her research sure was welcome. "I might take you on that offer. practice makes perfect, right?" Sarah said with a small smile. Besides her newest addition to the team needed experience. "And seeing you use Rapier in battle after I witnessed how you two are outside of battle might be valuable information."

Gira smiled friendly. "I had quite a journey too, but nothing too adventurous." Gira glanced behind her at Sarah and Regan briefly. "It's great you found a clue already, I think it would have taken us a whole lot longer without your wings and eyes."
Gira turned her gaze to the landscape, looking if she could spot a pokemon her trainer had expressed that would be good for her team for her research.

Sarah listened Regan talking about the pokemon she released. Sarah wasn't sure if she could do that, but maybe she should release the pokemon she would catch for her research. It would only be fair to give them the option. "That would be great, I would love to meet them would their path cross ours."

Sarah carefully avoided the loose rocks and was about to support Regan when she stumbled but the ranger seemed to recover quickly. When Rapier returned Sarah watched the interaction between pokemon and ranger.
"This is just the beginning of the rocky area of the island, gradually it will change from plains to rocks," Sarah said. "Flying pokemon can cover more ground faster then we can so I'd say it'll still be a little hike."
Not that Sarah knew exactly where the Onix was and the pokemon could roam through the entire area. The rocky area was a pretty big area covering most of the north part of the island. But it was a good sign that tracks were found already. I could mean the Onix had closer to the midsection of the island, to the edge of the rocky area. If they would find the tracks they could easily follow it. Sarah just hoped it were fresh tracks and not days old tracks.
"You trained your Staraptor well." she said smiling as she noticed the flying type just flying a bit ahead and waiting again.

Gira ran up to the tree where Rapier was waiting. "Hello, mind if I walk ahead with you? I'm Gira, Sarah is my trainer."

Sarah glanced at Regan. So far it had been more pleasant than she would have thought it would be. Sarah got a chance to think about her project more in detail and the help of Regan's pokemon was very valuable. "I'm glad you had time to came along," Sarah said, shooting a brief smile to the other female.

Revival of the Dragon Riders

yay \o/

Sarah followed Maria. She listened to what Maria said, Sarah knew she wasn't that good of a cook. "It's been so long since I have cooked, I hope I don't burn anything. Or burn the place down." Sarah thought. "Cooking," she replied with a sigh. "The lesser of two evils," Sarah added with a shrug. "And it might show the therapists that I progress, hopefully." she continued inwardly.
The stumble and glaring was a bit odd but not the weirdest behaviour she had seen around here.

When they were in the cafeteria Sarah felt the urge to put on her headphones and listen to the music again. Her fingers stretched to the headphones but she saw a nurse looking in their direction. Sarah's jaw tightened and she resisted the urge to put them up. She didn't want the nurse to put in the observation report that patient Sarah didn't socialise again by hiding behind her music.

Sarah took a plate and had a hard time deciding what to eat. None of it seemed very appealing to her. She settled with some grapes and a glass of water. She waited till Maria and Sienna had grabbed something to snack before sitting down. She didn't know where to sit anyway.

Keith woke up when the announcement started. He glanced at the clock and groaned, it was still way too early. At least for him it was, he could hear the business of a very awake institution. He glanced again and sighed, he should get up probably but the bed was so very comfortable. So he could choose between relaxing and watch a movie or work hard during cooking lessons. It2 it was.
Keith looked surprised when he heard about Bethany. He knew her, he had talked to her quite often. Keith knew almost everyone, he was always talking and socialising to everyone. He hadn't seen much improvement in Bethany but he wasn't a doctor so what did he know. But it was weird that Beth hadn't said anything to him. At least he assumed they were friends because, let's be honest, who wasn't a friend of his in this facility.

Keith got up and got dressed. He looked at the clock again and decided it was best to hurry to grab some breakfast.
The lecture of the doctor the day before was still fresh in his mind. "Punctuality." the doctor had said. Keith had grinned and said that he was very punctual. The doctor had looked at the clock meaningful and Keith had lifted his shoulders briefly. It was true he had been fifteen minutes late for the appointment. But he wanted to let the staff see he could be on time somewhere and not stumble into the cafeteria just minutes before the breakfast was put away again.

He hurried outside and quickly made his way to the cafeteria. He quickly loaded his plate with bread, cheese, fruit and grabbed some yoghurt and a glass of milk. Looking around he decided to sit down next to a woman sitting alone at a table.
Keith looked at Rory.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked as he sat down without waiting for a reply.
He looked at Rory smiling friendly. "I've seen you around a bit before but we never talked before. Hi, I'm Keith."
