"Yes, Yes... Dear God, yes.. okay, Okay, hello?. I mean I can hear you, Over.

"Holy shit." Joan said to herself when she heard a man's voice coming from the radio. She didn't think that she would reach anyone through all the static mess. Quickly pressing all the buttons once again, she repeated the words, "Hello, whoever you are."

"You're right, I should be going after her." Josef replied to the new girl with the axe. "And you should come with us if you know what's good for you." Josef said leaving the girl to decide on her own. He could care less if she was lying about the motel or not, because he had more important things on his mind now. He ran into the break room to find that Joan was talking into the radio. His eyes grew wide and he walked over to press the correct button and speak for himself, "Hello? My name is Josef, where is your location, over." He waited for the reply. Joan rolled her eyes, because she had the situation under control on her own. It annoyed her when Josef always tried to take over. Then it hit him, "Wait a sec..." Josef realized that it could be a set up by the military. "We have to GO."

Joan looked to Josef with a confused expression, "What?" She could tell by his frantic tone that it was time to leave.

Age of the Draconides

"Sure, you can have this." Uorin said flashing a sliver of silver to the genderless kid. "That's if you can keep us meeting to yourself." He walked over to the teen girl and knelt down to gently place the sack onto the dewy grass in front of her. He pulled loose the rope that tied the sack shut and the fabric slipped down to reveal four colored eggs that were a little more than a foot long each. From left to right there was a beige egg, a dark blue egg, a speckled green egg, and a dark purple egg. "Terra eggs- Wyvern eggs..." He corrected himself, because Sorenayens had a different names for the draconides. "...of this kind, are very rare here in Sorenaye. There are very few if any wyverns of this species that fly around these parts." Uorin said looking each egg over. "I'll let you have one under a few conditions."

Aleksu's eyes widened and he could not believe what he was hearing. Uorin had brought those eggs along to trade or to be given as gifts to the royals of Sorenaye. The blood orange snake slithering up his master's arm stopped, and Aleksu could tell something or someone was approaching. "Uorin." Aleksu finally spoke, as if to tell him to finish up their encounter with the younglings. He didn't mean to seem rude, but he knew that they shouldn't stay there much longer.

Age of the Draconides

I'll have my reply posted later today.

The Walking Dead - Last Life

Its been ok. I've been at my cousins house, because of a funeral. I haven't had internet to reply, but I'll get a reply in later.

The Walking Dead - Last Life

"She isn't." Josef said from behind the girl with his old high school baseball bat in hand that he had carried along. When he saw that the new girl didn't attack Joan, he lowered his weapon and looked her over. The young woman was Asian and looked to be in her early twenties. "Are YOU alone?" Josef asked, as Joan got back up to her feet and stuffed the snow balls in her pocket. Josef hadn't been this up close and personal with a new, free survivor in forever, and he was curious to know if there were more.

"My name's Joan. Thanks for not killing me." She said to the girl with a smirk. She mostly said it to introduce herself and to be friendly, but apart of her actually kinda wished the unknown girl would have dropped the axe and taken her out of this shitty world. Just then, loud static could be heard from the break room and Joan looked to Josef who looked like he knew exactly what it was. Joan ran to the other room while Josef kept his eye on the new chick. When she arrived inside the break room, she found a communications radio that was on a back folding table near a useless microwave. She wasn't sure how to use the radio, so she pressed every button visible and spoke clearly, "Anyone there?" The radio static was most likely a random interference, but it still hadn't dawned on her or either Josef why the radio had been left on. Regardless, someone out there could potentially hear what she was saying if they were looking for help or listening.

Age of the Draconides

There would also be different levels of difficulty when it comes to taming a specific breed of Draconide as well I believe. Maybe some are more obedient and cooperative (which is a given that grazers would be so easily tamed by the outsiders without professional assistance on taming them, because they are far less aggressive) while carnivores are much more difficult to train. Dominique could have raised Xavier since an egg, but you could mention or incorporate that he had to take Xavier to taming classes or taming professionals to break him in and to teach him how to behave around other human beings. These taming professionals would only exist on the inside or in other kingdoms who could afford them since they are expensive and gain great profit from their profession.

Age of the Draconides

No offense, but I wouldn't think the King would allow such an uprising to have a chance at forming against the Insiders in the first place like that. Would he really be so careless to potentially jeopardize the order of his kingdom by not enforcing such law? It's like if the UN allowed just any country who wanted nuclear weapons to have them (or in this case tamed draconides, carnivores in particularly) - that wouldn't be smart on their part. It's not outside the realms of possibility that any Outsider could obtain a strong titan somehow (that they learn to train from an egg) and let it feed on Grazers (not much cost in that). You could say the law wasn't passed until recently or have it in the process of becoming law. Maybe only Grazers are allowed to be owned on the outside? Outsiders could still break the rules in secrecy if they hid them well. I believe it'd be more interesting if there will be a rebellion scenario, but you can do what you choose. Unless it was costly to train a draconide properly, because I don't assume training a wild reptile would be as easy as just anyone raising them from an egg. (sorta like breaking a horse, but much more complex) Though I still think it'd be safe of the king to have said safety law just in case someone who knew how to tame them decided to betray the kingdom - which could make for an interesting twist. *this is me debating, not arguing with you*

Age of the Draconides

Kaga -- Not sure if this was discussed already or not, but why don't you have it where it is considered a high crime in Sorenaye for those on the outside to own a tamed draconide. I'm sure the inside wouldn't want the outside to learn how to train their own draconides in order to rebel against the sword-and-shield knights. The knights can even be the ones who enforce such law. Don't you agree?

The Walking Dead - Last Life

As far as I know, ribcageroses still plans to post. I haven't heard from Trapezoid for awhile now and I just tried to contact Nallore again to see if he/she wants to get in a character sheet and an intro. If ribcage is still in, then that makes four of us. Five if Nallore pops in.

You can go ahead and reply, we're not too far ahead for the others to jump in.
