[Nexus] GLoG 82: So Many Babies!

"Oh, I see. What about the dragons? Everyone says the dragons of the Orient are different from those of the Occident and Europe." Her world does have the Americas, and they have been discovered by Europeans, but they were settled with the intention of being self-governing independent nations rather than as colonies, and it's hard to export and import things across the Atlantic. Most American goods arrive in Europe are carted to what we know as Alaska, shipped across the Bering Straight and then carted across what we know as Russia, though some come in through Greenland to Iceland and from there to Scandinavia and the British Isles.

"I wouldn't know. I never saw any dragons or heard anything about them..."
Rainbow doesn't have dragons in her world!
She throws a rock across the lake again, making it skip 10 times!
WOAH!

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"Dad says he made a stone skip twelve times once. He also said the best skimming-stones have already been skimmed." Natalie herself isn't too interested in skimming stones. Far as she's concerned, there's more interesting things for her to learn how to do.

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside
"That's cool. 10 is the farthest I've ever gotten it..."
"So you have friend's here?"
She would like to meet them! She has no friend's herself...

"A good name should...it should have meaning. Jamie, for instance, I named after...people I knew and cared about," Quinn says, a soft hint of moisture in the corner of her eye for a moment. "Or it can say something about you, yourself - about who and what you are."

..."Who and what am I?"

It's rather obvious that she doesn't know. She's spent the entirety of her life being defined by other things... who does that leave her as?

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"Yes, several. Brinika, Jamie, Abigail, Tito and Lily." They're the ones I can remember Natalie meeting. "Also Adele and Garrett, but I haven't seen them in a while." Because they were in her class in PACK, and one is now a deadtimed vampire and the other is, I think, staying at an orphanage with a cybernetic arm containing a gun.

Woods

Oddball continues his actions from previous posts. I.e. staying ready to attack and staring suspiciously at NotJamie.

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside
"Lucky, I wish I had friends..."
She skipped another rock!
This one just plopped into the water...

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"Do you live here? Because the people here are nice and friendly. If you stay here, you'll make friends in no time. I think you're well on the way to making one, at least." Natalie smiles as she says the last sentence.

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside
"No, but I wish I lived here. I don't know how to sign up to live here..."
She looks down at her feet!

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"Oh. I didn't know you had to sign up to live here." Because Natalie merely stays over regularly. Very regularly; more regularly than she stays at home, it sometimes seems.

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside
"That's what the guy I met said...whatever his name is."
She picked at her shoe, trying to get the lint off!

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"Then how do you know you have to sign up?" Natalie's curious now. She said that the other person she met said they didn't know one had to sign up, so how does the Confetti Elemental know she needs to sign up?

((Sorry; I've forgotten her name .))

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside
((No, she meant that the guy had said that she needed to sign up to live here >~<))
"Er, what?" she asked, looking at Natalie with a confused expression.

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"Don't worry; I misunderstood what you said." Which is true, in a meta sense.

[UncleWolf]

Waterstrider's Hut

The Wolfen shivers at his mate's touch and returns it after attempting to remove the delicate dress she wore. He doesn't speak once she says she's ready, instead leaning up to nip her shoulder with all the affection in the world.

Wedding

"Stonethrower" takes Paul's hand with a smile and nods to the musicians to play a slow and strong beat. It was a song for the Hunters of a Tribe, mostly wishing good luck in all their hunts. The song was more than that however. It was also played to bring good will to those seeking anything in their lives.

The dance is much like a tango but with longer and quicker motions, but at one point, "Stonethrower" pulls Paul close, holding his shoulders as a predator would pin the prey it was hunting. When he does, he leans close to Paul's ears and whispers. <May you live as eternal as your lover does.> He says in flawless elvish.

[happyturtle]

Wedding

Stonethrower will smell the instant fear coming off of Paul. <"You know? Please, I beg you, say nothing!"> His own life would be forfeit if they were discovered. Gamalial's possibly as well, though he might be able to bargain for exile instead.

[Gullara]

[Waterstrider's Hut]

Renetta helps him remove her clothing, and then his own. With that done, she won't hesitate in helping him pull a slow and gentle curtain.

[Wedding]

Lydia can't help but feel relieved she was spared from dancing. She's certainly not interested in the type of dancing nor anyone here as a partner. After watching Paul and Stonethrower for a bit, but soon redirects her attention downward where Flamecrest is pawing at the front of her dress. She's... certainly cute. Despite the whole situation surrounding her birth, Lydia can admit that to herself.

[Morty]

[Wedding]

*scurry scurry*
A certain tiny goblin who doesn't have anything else to do at the moment - someone else is playing music and she's done dancing - scurries over to Flamecrest. But she's with that kinda intimidating elf lady, so Brinika isn't sure if she wants to come closer.

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside

"Don't worry; I misunderstood what you said." Which is true, in a meta sense.

Lakeside
"Oh. Okay..."
She skips another rock.
"Wanna be friends?"

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"OK." Natalie smiles; she's old enough to understand that a mutual agreement of friendship isn't all there is to being friends, but thinks that she'll become proper friends in time.

[Slii Arhem]

Down the Hole

Kate activates her energy shield and heads toward the way out quickly. She's pretty sure that the energy shield can hold off normal bees, but bees are still somewhat scary. If when she gets over to the way out she is not simply removed from the area in some way (she's played some of these games, yes) she will jump out herself.

Up the Hole

Unfortunately, the magical glowy elevator only works one way, probably because of a short or something in whatever powers it. Still, it's not that far a jump with her augmented legs, but she'll find (to her dismay no doubt) that the fairy follows her up.

"Hello!"

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside
Rainbow smiles and stands.
"Cool! Wanna go do something then?"

[Lost_Deep]

Next to the Hole

Kate looks at the fairy and smiles. "You're free now. You can go. Good luck!"

She watches it, in hopes that it will fly away, back to the life it had before it was made into a metal detector.

[Gullara]

[Wedding]

The mean old elf lady's attention is fully on Flamecrest. She holds out a inger to the cub, who immediately grabs it in her little paw. It doesn't look like Brinika will be taken note of. There's nothing for it, she'll have to approach them both if she wants to see Flamecrest.

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"OK! Um, how good are you at climbing trees?" Natalie cheats. She turns into a monkey and reaches the top easily.

[Morty]

[Wedding]

Brinika scurries over a little closer and tries to gently pet Flamecrest's ears, while looking up at the old elf lady a little apprehensively.

Reelshka, meanwhile, says to Pathfinder as they dance of afterwards: Would you mind if I had a chat with your mother?

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside

"OK! Um, how good are you at climbing trees?" Natalie cheats. She turns into a monkey and reaches the top easily.

Lakeside
"Erm well...depends. Can I be in my confetti form while climbing?"

[UncleWolf]

Waterstrider's Hut

Waterstrider will follow Renetta into the curtain, being as gentle as he can for the first time with his beloved.

Wedding

Stonethrower gives Paul a small reassuring smile. <Have no fear. I won't speak of anything to anyone. You still have my blessing however. As well as my mate's.> He offers. <But should you ever be found out, you'll always have a place among us.>

Pathfinder smiles a bit and nods. "I don't mind at all." He tells the goblin.

[Earl of Purple]

Lakeside

"I have a bird shape, if you wanted to have a flight race. But, um, I can't transform my clothes and my bird shape is too small to carry any. Can you transform with things other than your clothes?" Natalie needs to ask Jamie to take her somewhere she can buy clothes that will change shape with her.

[Mindfreak]

Lakeside
She nods.
"Um, yeah. Anything on my person I can transform with me..."
