Event - The White Dragon Travel Log

[It's a lengthy journey even by air, that our intrepid heroes find themselves on. The veteran fliers set a quick, but not grueling pace at the suggestion of the Valkyries. Arriving to a battleground when a god had taken the field tired was not wise, they'd said, and who could really blame them? The prospect alone of facing down one of the beasts of legend would be enough to send most men fleeing in the opposite direction, but one who was working with a human? That was all the more reason to make sure that proper care was taken on the trek. And so for a day the party traveled, a caravan of birds, dragons, reptiles and the odd flying robot making steady time across the Rolling Plains before setting down at the north-eastern edge.

The curious would find that not far from where the tents were pitched, the green hills turned jagged, the land going from verdant to a sea of dark glass. Obsidian shards spiked upwards, spires gleaming in the moonlight like razor sharp teeth, setting an ominous tone for the evening's respite. Tents were pitched, fires were lit, and the more warlike companions even began a drum circle and dance. Valkyries and shirtless Calderan volunteers, a small number of visiting mages, and other more mysterious folks all curious to see the god and to help with the relief efforts. The camp, despite the circumstances, was at least a lively one.

And then came the final day.

Over the Obsidian Flats they went, the massive shapes of Boldore and Tyranitar visible even from up in the sky. And...further perhaps even more stunningly, a gigantic lake almost large enough to call an inland sea, sprawled out below. Rivers snaked out of it all around, and the water itself was a pure crystal blue. But perhaps the most awe inspiring sight of the whole journey came once they cleared the Flats and the area around Glacier came into view. An expanse of white, thick snow covering the ground this early in the year. Arctic forests cropped up here and there, snowcapped trees and a frigid looking river marring the perfect canvas beneath. And more Pokemon , of course. Gigantic Avalugg shook the ground below, and a new species plodded along, chewing amiably on the trees, largely unconcerned by the humans overhead, and the occurrences in the distance.

Along the coast a city was in flames, people streaming out of its ruined gates, desperately fleeing along the rivers before whatever it was came back. Smoke curled up along the skyline, burned hamlets and outlying settlements that'd already been destroyed.

It seems like they weren't too late, and it in the moment of respite there was a chance for our heroes to at least get their bearings and prepare for the Dragon God's return...]

[OOC: We will be opening some of these areas for bonding within the next few days for everyone who is taking part in the expedition.]

I've got a larger capacity loader here, but it would increase the weight. Do you want it, or would you prefer your normal size?

Something like that might affect the recoil, so probably not.

All right. You made this yourself? The workmanship is very good.

Are you flirting with me, Kyosuke?

Flir...ting?

[He stumbles over the unfamiliar word!]

Offfff course you weren't. Silly me.

Forget it, it's not important.

OK...

[Well he'll continue cleaning the gun. Weapons aren't confusing, unlike women.]

[ Women are confusing? She's basically throwing herself at him and he doesn't so much as bat an eyelash. ]

So I didn't realize you were so knowledgeable about this kind of thing. I'm impressed.

Proper care and maintenance is important.

I just assumed you went to someone else for things like that.
steelbeowulf: (004)

[personal profile] steelbeowulf 2015-10-28 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind going to someone more skilled, but it's important for me to know what goes into maintaining my own equipment. I feel better that way.

Wow, how responsible of you! You're gonna make someone a good husband one day~

[personal profile] steelbeowulf 2015-11-01 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think people are lining up to marry someone like me.

They better not be.
