Rules

[idolpro]

-Maiming is possible because vikings man.
-Death is TECHNICALLY possible, but it will be incredibly hard. Not in a knives don't work sort of thing, but if you try to die, you'll see.
-If Rye is aware of your CANON POWERS, you have them. You still have unit abilities.
-Hell corruptions are 'invisible.' If your character focuses, they can feel them, but they are difficult to Perceive.

START

[idolpro]

[Welcome to the Isle of Berk. You find yourself in an arena, dug into the ground with a chain dome above, currently suspended in the air on a pulley system to allow easy flight in and out. The air is cold and carries the sea breeze, though luckily you find yourself dressed well enough in furs and leathers.]

[Before you stands a woman, a hard, serious, slightly judgemental look on her face. There is an air of authority to her, someone who should be listened to. Which might be undercut a bit by the baby Night Fury that follows after her as she paces in front of you. Notably, she never almost steps on the thing. It is always perfectly safe. Watching nearby is also a Deadly Nadder.]

Astrid

[those_of_berk]

Welcome to your opportunity of becoming a dragon rider. It is a great honor to join our ranks, but its also extremely dangerous. If you are not prepared to commit to your partnership, it could cost you life or limb.

Today will be a small taste of that. You could give up and leave, but otherwise, the ways you leave are sundown, with a lifelong friend and partner, or you need medical attention. Luckily for all of you, Hiccup has convinced these dragons humans aren’t an enemy so they shouldn’t go for your head right away.

If you fail, you can try again, but you will be learning from me instead of Hiccup. And trust me when I say, my standards are a lot higher. [There is certainly a hint of Danger in her words.]

[She stops her pacing, and turns to face all of you.] So. Who goes first?

Re: Astrid

[sancrimony]

[ just a quick check to see how Real(tm) any of his dragon rider schoolmates are or if "who goes first" is rhetorical because it's just him ]

Re: Astrid

[those_of_berk]

[Currently, it is Just Him.]

[Because sometimes sessions only have one person around at a start time.]

Re: Astrid

[temperedinpride]

[Late on the first day to class!

He touches his mask as he listens and watches.]

I have a question. What exactly does a dragon rider do?

Re: Astrid

[those_of_berk]

At this point?

Help grow and strengthen the bond and understanding between humans and dragons.

Defense when necessary, but we have that more or less covered these days. Now its about encouraging harmony.

Miya Start

[those_of_berk]

[EXCEPT NONE OF THAT APPLIES TO MIYA BECAUSE DRAGON.]

[Instead Miya finds herself in the forest shortly after dawn. The world is mostly quiet, save for the scuttling of nocturnal dragons getting ready to sleep, and whatever other animals live in the forest. There is a strong scent of dragon in these woods, of scales and fire.]

[And Astrid is in front of her, heading down a path that she seems able to follow. There is a faint scent of Hiccup here, like its a well worn one for him.]

[There is Deadly Nadder not too far off, choosing to remain close, but needing to take a little more careful path because this dragon can't shapeshift for ease. There is also the baby night fury, still following her, hopping from rocks and tree branches.]

Just a little farther now.

Re: Miya Start

[featherbeaned]

[ Tea is at her Full Size right now, so she's stepping light and careful. ]

... Right. Okay.




What's just a little farther?

Re: Miya Start

[those_of_berk]

The grotto.

It has Toothless' scent all over the place, so Hiccup figured it'd be soothing for our guests. As much can be for our experiment.

Lucifel's Dragon

[those_of_berk]

[Astrid pulls the switch and is quick to move out of sight, keeping close to the wall, Stormfly doing much the same. Its a little hard to see in the cell, but there's a large pool of something Glowing and extra rocks to curl behind.]

[And the reason its hard to see is because the dragon is glowing Really Brightly.]

[]

[She roars at Lucifel, scuttling out of the cage and up along to the ceiling of the chain fence to get more room to Move.]

Re: Lucifel's Dragon

[sancrimony]

. . . Good morning.

[ with some calm, a cheery sort of greeting which is just him trying to not be very excited ]

My, you're rather luminous.

Re: Lucifel's Dragon

[those_of_berk]

[Even in the light, she is Very Bright. Forever glowing dragon.]

[She growls at him warningly, watching him as she skitters around the dome, taking stock of her surroundings.]

Lahabrea's Dragon

[those_of_berk]

[The door opens, revealing a room with fish, water, and places to hang upside and]

[Nothing???????]

Re: Lahabrea's Dragon

[temperedinpride]

[Fascinating! Well unless this is a trick which doesn't seem likely, then it's an invisible creature. But how to make it visible? That or it escaped.

He'll head for the fish and pick one up, waggling it thoughtfully.]

Re: Lahabrea's Dragon

[those_of_berk]

[Not a bad move.]

[There is the feeling of breath at the back of his neck.]

Berk: Topside

[those_of_berk]

[Welcome to the village of Berk. There are numerous buildings built along the cliff side, and buildings stacked on top of each other, with number tall perches towering even higher. There’s also many places that lead deeper into the island in an expansive cave system of sorts. There are dragons and vikings everywhere, working together, spending time together. There also seems to be a number of construction projects in the works, with ditches getting dug, dragons helping bring things high up, and building outside of homes.]

[Most interestingly is a sight you can see along the cliff edge, where many boulder class dragons and ships carrying large loads of stone. The boulder dragons are taking in rocks being thrown and fired up to them to get munched up and then they spew out lava into the water in what seems to be an actual terraforming effort to expand the land without having to take up the forest area of the rest of the island. Its also possible to see a number of those same kinds of dragons on a beach not so far away, seeming to be resting with villagers feeding them, checking them for injuries, playing with a few, and otherwise tending to creatures who seem on break.]

[There is evidence of this being a project for a while, with a plateau of land built off the side of the village, but closer to the ocean and more uniformly shaped. There are also a number of new structures being built there, with a few already completed.]

Re: Berk: Topside

[sancrimony]

My, my. . .

[ with a hum, just kinda stroking the dragon while they're flying ]

Dear—do you know where . . . "Hiccup"-san might be?

Re: Berk: Topside

[those_of_berk]

[There's a grumbling croon and a shake of the head.]

Re: Berk: Topside

[sancrimony]

Mmm, that's alright.

[ watching everything else for a little longer ]

Where would you like to go?

Re: Berk: Topside

[temperedinpride]

Oh! What a lovely view.

[He loves this actually. Terraforming is great! He will hold on as the dragon gives him the aerial tour.]

It is a shame we cannot properly communicate.

Re: Berk: Topside

[those_of_berk]

[The Dramillion makes a questioning croon.]

[And there is so much terraforming happen. Gonna get more land without using up natural resources!]

Re: Berk: Topside

[temperedinpride]

What a fascinating project. Would you get closer?

Re: Berk: Topside

[featherbeaned]

[ Hovering overhead, looking around at all of this. ]

Wow. Someone's been busy ...

[ She's takes a particular look at the new, more uniformly-built structures, all while keeping an eye and an ear out for that jet engine-sound she'd heard ]

Re: Berk: Topside

[those_of_berk]

[He is So Busy.]

[Another d20]
