Plot Life has always been peaceful in the floating cities of Daear. That is, until a mysterious rot rose from the long forgotten world below. It started slowly, and then the rot spread, bringing illness in it's wake. And then, without warning, the skies began to fall. Now, with one of the six main islands of Daear destroyed, the search for a solution has become desperate and the five remaining cities devised a plan. With two expeditions to the lower world already failed, far fewer citizens were willing to volunteer... That is, until a large sum of money was offered to anyone who put forth their name for a raffle. Hundreds entered, and compensation was given to all. Fifteen names were drawn. Fifteen young men and women whose lives will forever be changed. Will they manage to find a cure for the rot? Or will they too succumb to the illness and mutation it brings?

((Everyone's having so much fun in the stables and Kritias & Varul have barely set off, also where are all my group B mates at yo?)) Kritias - Male - 19 - Group B - Riter, Slums Kritias breathed a small sigh as he hopped off the Goliath, happy to be back on land after hours of flight. His tears had long since dried and he had steeled himself to be strong for Varul and Riysen as well as his future companions. No sense in dragging them all down with fear and indecision that could cause a life or two in critical moments. Epoth landed with a soft click of claws on the cobblestone beside him and a light shuffle told him Varul had dropped down on his other side - that was one thing that had always puzzled him, how did Varul even manage to move so quietly even when not trying? Shaking his head as if to clear it of all unnecessary thoughts, he whistled lightly and Varul perked up, giving a chirp as he followed behind Kritias and Varul who had begun walking into the densely packed city, being extra cautious of their surroundings. They probably looked rather odd, dressed differently than most citizens of Riter with the bulk of their luggage strapped to Epoth's saddle. Said drake was with his gaze fixed on a juicy-looking fig sitting innocently on a table that served as a stall, the owner of which being distracted at the moment. Kritias looked back to see what was the hold up and sighed, knowing what was surely going through the drake's mind. The drake had a strangely strong liking for figs considering they hardly had any back when they previously lived on Nar. He tugged on Epoth's bridle and Epoth gave a low, sad whine before hurrying to trot on beside Kritias again. They continued on their way but not towards the stables. Instead, they headed deep within the city, past the glamour and bustle to the dirty slums concealed behind tall buildings. Varul led the way, a grim look on his face and Kritias was content to follow, one hand on Epoth's neck and he subtly looked around in curiosity. There were stick thin children peeking out from behind street corners and shadowed figured watching them from the windows of rundown houses. It unnerved him quite a bit actually. Still he trusted Varul to not lead them into any danger and continued following his closest friend, down the dirty brick path. Varul - Male - 18 - Group B - Riter, Slums/Drake Stables Varul had a whirlpool of thoughts swirling in his brain at the moment but the ones at the very forefront were all about his parents. 'How were they doing? What were they like? Did they ever regret chasing him away?' Those were some of the most pressing concerns in that timeframe. He quickly slipped into the habit of scanning around for danger as he had always done when he still lived in Riter, taking note of everybody and everything. It was only after around ten minutes of walking that they read their destination, a seemingly innocuous building tucked away in some back streets. The door they faced was currently boarded up and Varul frowned slightly before rapping his knuckles sharply on the rotting wood, the sound echoing loudly in the streets but there was no response. He tried again a second and third time but had to concede defeat, thinking that his parents probably didn't want to see him or they had moved and could not be there to see him. However, an uncomfortable niggling caused him to ask another nearby resident for answers and the woman with her eyes darting around frantically and wringing her hands told him something he'd never have expected. His parents had died two years ago in a random break in and people had come around to board up their house due to the frightening blood splatters and two decomposing corpses lying in the middle of the rundown house. Varul's thoughts were sluggish and he seemed to be in a daze. He couldn't ever bring this incident to a close, ever since his parents were dead. His parents were dead. Dead. The walk to the stables and housing for raffle 'winners' was an even quieter one than usual, Kritias not piping up with some small thought or other and Varul not responding with his usual few word replies or an acknowledging grunt. However, he didn't really feel much affection towards his parents and the long walk had cleared his head plenty. He couldn't afford to stew over his parents' death when he himself was almost surely going to be sent to die in a few short days. A moment's inattention would prove fatal at some point. With that in mind, he decided that the first course of action would be to bond with the drake he would be assigned, Epoth not being able to sustain the weight of two young men for long periods of time. He reported in for them while Kritias headed over to the stables to bed down Epoth and received two room keys plus a sheet of paper with the name of his new drake. Yuva Running a hand along the wood walls of the stable, he smiled to Kritias as he passed by him and Epoth and tossed him his room key before walking on, eyes trailing along the name plates before stopping before the door with 'Yuva' carved on a small plaque in neat letters. Taking a deep breath to calm himself -tension in the rider caused tension in the drake - Varul pushed the door open and was met with an intelligent pair of green eyes, attached to a scaled body coloring in dark shades of blue, purple and black. It's - her - arms ended in wickedly sharp claws and Varul felt a smile come onto his face as he reached out to stroke the head of the drake, a series of soft coos being emitted from the Digger before him. He felt instantly attached to the drake and murmured softly to her, not even looking up when another drake a few stalls away gave a loud screech. Dimly, he laughed at the coincidence that Kritias, who had such a sunny personality would have a drake coloured in warm shades of yellow, green and orange while he who was anti-social, cynical and frosty would be paired with a drake sporting cold colours of blue, purple and black. The world worked in strange ways and now that they had reached their temporary destination - earliest, by the looks of it - all they could do was patiently wait for the next one to arrive.

((Erin is technically in the common room. I planned on moving her over to the stables next response if no one spoke to her directly anyway so it's no big deal. Also, my group B dude is just kinda chilling near the front of the raffle winners building. Feel free to go bug him.)) 0 players like this post! Like? |

(Posting for Cinder) Cara - 24 - Female - Group A Cara clicked her tongue gently at the Draft in front of her as the girl answered "Aww how cute! It very much suits her". She took in the girl's dresswear and blinked in surprise before she smiled "Well it's very nice meeting you, Myani and Princess. I hope we can get along and be friends on this crazy trip." She contemplated asking Myani if she wanted to go get some... more practical clothing, but right then someone suddenly squealed and ran up to Saiga. After a moment, Cara's surprise was replaced with questioning curiosity "She shouldn't mind too much. Just don't touch her nose, she doesn't particularly like when others touch her vulnerable points." She smiled gently at Saiga who looked displeased about being called vulnerable. Saiga gingerly touched her forehead against Eric's hand in a polite greeting and gave a rumbling thrum in her throat. (Artemia is in a more suburban area of Riter...basically as far away from the factories and industryas she can get xD so wherever a hill is, artificial or not, is where she is) 0 players like this post!

(-- " --) (They are similar to massive lizards. I have Saiga's appearance on cara's form on pg 2. Davvy is currently making doodles.) Cara - 24 - Female - Group A Cara smiled "I haven't met a lot of Runners. I mainly deal with Drafts and Saiga herself back at home. But i think her nose is just a more personal spot. She likes when i rub her nose, but when its someone she doesn't know she's closer to snapping at you then purring about it." Saiga puffed out her throat a bit and made a grumbling hiss before rising to her feet and looking down at Eric, seemingly evaluating him. Cara clicked her tongue quietly and tapped Saiga's jaw, which she obediently opened. "I figure you'll want to see her teeth as well. Sharper and much realer in person", Cara gave Eric a wide grin and picked up a large front foot of Saiga's. "Of the Runners i have seen, none of them have this spot. I think it might be similar to a birthmark." What she was addressing was a grayish blemish at the outer edge of her talons, shaped like to a crescent arc. Cara scratched under Saiga's chin and the Runner closed her slitted eyes with a chirp. "As for individual or general points, I'm sure every Runner has some of the same weaknesses. Maybe a few have different spots than the nose."As for her tail, it's definitely a force to be reckoned with. Like a stationary whip i guess" she giggled quietly as Saiga gave a grunt, surrounded by people she didn't know and keeping herself and Cara from being conned or attacked. She didn't seem to think Myani was any trouble, but Cara kept noticing her glancing warily at the trinkets Cara only then noticed on the man's back. "What is all that?" She hummed brightly, curiously stepping to one side to look at his things. 0 players like this post! Like? |

(however draft drakes look I imagine Princess as a breed that has fur instead of scales lol! but if they must have scales that is fine too :D) Myani | Group A | Mentions Cara and Saiga Myani quietly stepped forward, keeping in Saiga's direct line of vision so as not to alarm her, and reached out a hand. She lay it on the drakes shoulder lightly and stroked, enjoying the texture of the scales beneath her finger tips. She'd never had a runner drake as a pet but one of her friends had had one, and she'd pet it on occasion. She liked the intelligence in Saiga's eyes, though it unnerved her at the same time. She loved Princess with all her heart but the drake had a thick skull she could be proud of and had only learned the most basic of commands. Myani let Cara and the newcomer speak, happy to listen and find out more about them without giving up too much about herself. The Kastello name had a bad reputation in some parts of the island and she'd learned that to some people, just bearing the name was good enough reason to judge. Not that Myani could complain considering she did the same herself at home. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Myani | 19 | Group A | Mentions Eric and Saiga Myani arched an eyebrow, noticing how he moved away from her. What am I, a leper?, she thought to herself and sighed inwardly. She knew not to expect the behaviour she was used to from her friends and neighbours when they spoke to her but even so, the difference was apparent. Folks from the other islands or even just not from the capital weren't necessarily raised as dolls to look and sound good no matter what. It would take some getting used to, for sure. She let her fingers linger on Saiga's scales for few moments longer as she moved her gaze to the trinkets he was talking about, Todd in particular. It seemed that he liked making these little toys. And naming them. She held back a smile, thinking of how the last time she'd named a toy was when she was nine. She hoped that was his quirkiest personality trait, building these toys. Adjusting to, well, dirt would be hard enough without having to get along with companions who were a sandwich short of a picnic. Princess approached the two girls, boy and the other draken, her footsteps surprisingly quiet for her size. She pushed her nose into Myani's back and keened quietly, not liking her owners proximity to another drake. When Myani's hand scratched her cheek, Princess made a humming sound in her throat and half closed her eyes, glad to have contact with her again. "This is Princess. I know, the names a bit ridiculous. I named her during the most embarrassing time of my teenage years," Myani replied to Eric, turning to cuddle her draft drake. "She's harmless though a bit shy. And you can say that she's slow in the head. There's not really any hiding it," she grinned and tapped her index finger on Princess' forehead. "So you're kind of like an engineer?" she asked, motioning with a hand to the small automaton on his shoulder. "The only thing I can make is a decent latte and that's on a good day. I'm Myani by the way." 0 players like this post! Like? |
