Table of Monsters

Tired and somewhat parched, I took a seat on an overgrown pile of rubble. I'd imagine it was a shame seeing all these buildings crumble for the humans, yet also joy for the dragons that drove out the ancient humans. Now wasn't the time for that though, because not only did we have a quest to find an egg but also fight off (somehow) some creeping evil that was expanding at a geometric rate. (How I knew that I didn't know.) Dorisma towered over many Kobold and other species that were around, at least the few visitors that would get curious and begin exploring the more empty areas. There were signs of life around, but it was like walking into a village that had just immigrated elsewhere. A few clouds of smoke rose from makeshift kitchens while strums of folk instruments flowed through the air. Sure enough, Trey had managed to locate us somewhere on the outskirts of the stronghold, passing by its massive walls and dropping down to pass us some useful information.

After some listening, I finally decided to speak up, raising my head. "Pardon? There's a tense atmosphere between two groups? That's not overdone." I let out some sarcasm, annoyed with the chances of finding a black dragon with a white egg being quite low. Who's to say he hasn't destroyed it already? Why didn't we leave this issue with the police/constabulary around here? "Alright." I said, contrasting myself against the backdrop of azure sky. Seemed to me that the valley was beginning to flatten around here. "Hopefully your eyes are sharp enough to catch two knives in the sky from all the way back." I hopped off the rubble and started to look for any further clues, sighting a few dragons wandering around but no white or black. "Those dragons might hang out in the stronghold more than out here." Again, I was peeved. But, there was always the chance that Dorisma was correct about a kidnapper being on the outskirts of the stronghold.

WHAT YEAR IS THIS?!

Oh.

Anyway, finished my exams yesterday. Stayed up late, now I gotta return my books to school.

Seeya.

I assumed she was talking about herself as the crowd gradually thinned out, and the marble buildings became more akin to shacks and crumbled ruins. "Well, that's something we have in common I guess." I said, pretending it was normal to have a questionable past. I knew how hopeless this search was, but in the end at least we had some sense of duty. I mean, I felt pretty lost trying to survive off rigged bets and running from the law. Now, I'm still on the run from the law, I haven't done any sort of gambling since leaving the camp, but at least we get to beat up monsters and rescue princesse- never-mind that. Really.

"So... we've been walking for a while now." Okay. Notably, I was more tired than usual. That's just typical Drake anatomy being quite weak in terms of endurance (how I know all this is something you don't want to know). "We really ought to start asking around for lost eggs. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?" I asked, slowing down and wiping my forehead. It was pretty hot what with the sun high up in the sky. Hard to believe it was noon already.

We didn't have time to start planning. Dorisma left almost immediately (as usual), walking out of the arena with the others before parting ways. I followed so that I wouldn't be seen as a useless idiot, walking not side-by-side but behind her since she seemingly knew where to go. That and she was ploughing through the mixed crowd of townsfolk and dragons, so I figured not to block her. There was some interesting sights while we were walking, but it seemed as if we were going to exit the stronghold... hopefully she didn't think the mission was THAT important.

"So... you got any history or anything like that you're willing to share?" I asked as she stomped, wondering what was making her tick. We had some interesting sights but you could definitely tell things were getting boring; walking to an unknown destination, looking for a minuscule item that could easily be someone else's, having no clues what to actually look for... "What does the egg even look like?" I asked somewhat disparagingly, gaining the attention of a few draconian eyes and quickly moving forwards. Seems as if they had an established culture when it came to family values.

Overtale

Was about to join but I realised I still have exams, sorry.

This RP reminds of the original PMD RPs we veterans have done on MCF.

i.e. Quickly posting within days. Except this time we have rules against double-posting. Kills character interaction but is otherwise a good feature.

So, it was agreed that we'd go look for the egg now, while the dragon magician ponders on about what to do next. Actually, I still had no idea on what the egg was about. Though, after picking from scraps of conversations between everyone, I managed to piece together an idea of our current quest, which was to find a lady's egg. Alright then. That should be... trivial. Robert and our mage were busy discussing ways to approach the situation, but I was more concerned of whether we'd find the egg in the first place. This was a dragon stronghold, and for all we knew a dragon could've snatched it back to its cave.

"Lads, can I just point out that we're looking for a needle in a haystack?" I spoke out, unoptimistic about our chances. We would be... well, the egg could be anywhere, if not broken. Maybe it's just under a tree, maybe it's all the way at the edge of the stronghold. I saw this as a waste of time, but also a bit of opportunity to prove ourselves. (As in, we don't just slay things. This IS a roleplay world, right?) I shuffled somewhat uncomfortably at having to look for a lady's prized possession, but I immediately paid attention to Robert when he told me about trying to signal our bird, apparently named Trey. "Yeah, we got it. Where do we start around town, though?" I asked, looking at the petrified dragon and back at Robert. Seemed as if Dorisma (the ogre Rober gestured at) had an idea of where to go though, as usual. She was pretty direct and quite intimidating for a slightly shrunk Drake like me.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

I nodded at Spruce, still barely conscious but able to hover. I took a pretty bad hit considering my typing, and I swear to Arceus it was a critical. "Back to our mission... hopefully we get a good night's sleep after this." I rasped, clearing my throat and following through with Spruce's (general) direction. Man, I didn't expect myself to be roughened up so badly from one attack. Just the perks of being a Steel - you may be a tank, but any enemy may have a wrench up their sleeve. As I floated through the relentless blizzard, I had vivid visions of Pokemon being... too graphic to describe, really. I couldn't tell whether they were hallucinations or real things going on in this place. Seems to me that if the entire world became a Mystery Dungeon, it wouldn't end well. One doesn't understand how or why they came to being. I blame Arceus, jokingly.

After spending a while brushing past bushes as the path seemed to get more rough and wild, we eventually came across to some fires. I say fires because I got double-vision from that earlier attack. Apparently Daniel told Spruce about finding signs of the others, and sure enough we managed to find Celes and Josh braving the elements to the best of their ability. "Heeey..." I smiled for the first time since entering the damned forest, ready to finally fall flat on my face and get some rest. These guys wouldn't know of what we had just encountered, since they seemed rather content with the current setting.

Dragon's Dream

I was dead silent after whooshing through the air. I did manage to feel a bit lighter though, having exchanged a few gases within the atmosphere through my bubble. Seems to me that dragon managed to land perfectly, something I probably wouldn't do so well in. Why? Because, for one, I was talking to some strangers. "Hello lads! Greetings from Above! First time I've set foot down onto soil, actually." Sure enough, I still wasn't touching the ground until I popped my bubble and basically melted onto the grass and dirt. I reformed myself into a drake, dripping somewhat and in fact requiring the assistance of a rock to keep me up. "Oh goodness! The stillness of this land..." You see, I used to all the turbulence on Zephyre. However, we NEVER had a time where things were absolutely still. As a result, I wasn't used to feeling so... still. I felt like everything was still moving, but that was just myself. Lord, help me against all the grass and dirt that would cling onto me, something which made me shudder. Regardless, I maintained a straight face and began taking faces of everyone, with apparently mixed feelings.
