Literature
Ember and Snowfall had, indeed, shown back up, covered in dust. Pepper and Mystery had both breathed a sigh of relief and arranged for minders for them, while they dealt with what they had come here to do. Or… tried to, in any case. Riad and Comet had come to learn about the ways of camouflaging in the desert, where cover was sparse, and Pepper overheard them talking when they came back from one of their excursions. "And Cindex said they'd never seen the oasis so empty…"...

An upside of having a friendly tribe in the desert that Skyward had close ties with was the ease of trade, and shared use of their mines, among other things. The downside was that the youngsters always wanted to come along… and always managed to get themselves lost. Pepper and Mystery were doing their best to find where the current miscreants - Snowfall and Mistwatch had got off to, while not losing track of the ones they knew where they were. Mystery was asking Ballor if he k...

Xochcatl scans her surroundings, turning her head left to right, making sure that no adults are nearby to intervene. "Psst. Ivy. Kitty. Come with me. I want to show you something," she whispers. Katherine looks around for adults, then lowers her head and responds in a whisper, "What is it?" "I heard our researcher saying something about old bones found in the swamp." Ivy does a quick scan of her surroundings as well. Once she believes there are no adults nearby, she whisp...

It was the second night of sneaking out to explore the lava tunnels. This time, Garnet was showing Blueberry, Marin, and Spatter the route. As Garnet entered the tunnel with a showy flare of xir wings, indicating the dimly lit smooth walls, Marin and Spatter made appreciative 'ooo' noises and shone their flashlights around. Blueberry was more uncertain, creeping in and flicking xer tail warily. "Isn't it cool?" Marin nodded, wide eyed, then shone his flashlight to where the tunn...

Ramsay sat next to Dionysus, a large brown aerobic Tark'ee, as they sat watching the village town square come to life. Kion was setting up his bright blue tent. And the smell coming from the tent made Ramsay's mouth water. And next to him, two young Tsabhua, Pearl and Jasper were setting up a smaller mauve colored tent. They had a cart full of boxes." "What do you think they are selling?" Dionysus asked as he watched Jasper, a mostly white Tsabhua, struggle to take one of the boxes out...

The Issiqi dessert was hot during the day, temperate at dawn and dusk, and freezing at night. Still, it's allure for those who wanted to explore was irresistible. Some of Skyward's inhabitants were staying with Boti's tribe to help with some repairs from a recent sandstorm, and some of those had been all but dragged along and eager to do other things. Garnet stuck xir head around the door experimentally, seeing nobody about. ((The lights were dim in the hallways, clever mirrors shini...

Dionysus walked slowly behind the energetic welps as they ran and played in the snow. ((The weather had started to warm up and the snow fall had tapered off. Soon the snow would all be melted. And the sledding hill would soon be green and be ready for planting.)) When Aristaeus, Ramsay and Jane had requested to go out to the sledding hill Dionysus had offered to go with them. He had grown fast through the harsh winter and now toward everyone. He doubted even an Arktikos would attack wi...

Sae'lvus has mentioned that they had some belongings at the start of their misadventure that had been lost somewhere in the currents, and so Whiteout had gone back to the beach while Noodle checked them over. It was a bit of a long shot, but it stood to reason the currents that had deposited them on the beach would also leave their things. Ember and Nightlight, freshly back from their trip to Issiq, had begged to come along to play in the ocean, and Snowfall had quietly tugged at Whi...

Whiteout, Noodle, and Snickerdoodle were gathering some sand dollars along the seaside, with Waveform technically accompanying them, but the youngster was off chasing crabs instead. The adults chatted quietly, ((listening to the sound of the seabirds crying, circling above in the clear air. The sand crunched underfoot, cool as the day worked its way towards midday. The soft roar of the surf was a constant low rumble and rush, calming and relaxing.)) Snickerdoodle half-opened their wing...

Whiteout was helping some people sweep sand out of some of the sandstone rooms in Boti's colony, when Inky and Nightlight slithered up to her, wide-eyed and whispering to each other. Whiteout paused in her sweeping and frowned down at the two as they debated something fiercely. She didn't want to interrupt, but also… they could debate between themselves for hours before coming to a conclusion. "Do you need help with something?" she asked gently, and the two jumped before side-eyeing ...

"I don't know about you brother, but I was hoping that there was more to this land." Delano said ((as he and his brother, Ferdinand, looked out across a vast plain of golden fields for as far as their eyes could see. The golden fields waved gently in the slight breeze.)) "It's pretty." Ferdinand said quietly with a slight shrug. ((The two of them waded through the golden fields, leaving behind a trail of bent plants behind them.)) As they walked they began to notice a smell. It wasn't ...

Nova was helping to tend the aerobic in the colony's infirmary, and kept having to shoo the youngsters that had found them away. Sky, at least, was willing to sit quietly and help him bandage the small scratches on the aerobic and other small tasks. Parhelion had been away, being dunked into the bath by Rocky, but soon he had appeared to jump around the small infirmary, a resigned Whiteout following behind. "Oh, can you stop that!" Nova worried as Parhelion hid under the aerobic's bed....

((Though storms in Rekes were common and nothing usual, the one that had struck last night had been a beast. Even tucked away in their caves within the mountains, the screaming of the wind could clearly be heard, and occasional lightning strikes made the lights dim briefly. The youngsters had been nervous, and today, with the air cleared and the sun shining,)) Rocky was hoping to take them outside and cheer them up. Sky had immediately bounded out the door and into the sky, chirping ha...

((There was still snow deep on the ground in the mountains of Rekes,)) and Splash considered it with no small measure of exasperation. It was all well and good for Rocky and Nova, long-legged pains as they were, but for himself and Parhelion who was up to his chin in snow? Parhelion seemed to be delighted by the snow, but that was neither here nor there. "Can't this wait," Splash sighed exasperatedly, following the ((trail in the snow left behind by Rocky and Nova walking through)) a...

"Come see! Come see!" Seafoam blinked awake, yawning widely, as Spark bounced up and down on their cushions. "What?" they asked, gently pushing the excited whelp away. Spark clapped his hands together, sending bits of melting snow flying everywhere. "There's visitors!" Visitors? In this weather? Seafoam blinked uncomprehendingly as Spark, tired of their unenthusiasm, ran out to go find a more receptive audience. Deciding that they should at least see what had gotte...
