The flyer still hadn't completely recovered from its jaunt through the sandstorm - the air filter had a rattle in it, and Whiteout swore she still felt sand falling from it. Spatter just stared at her unamused and asked, "Are you going to take it or not?" "And swim the messages to Mireh? Fuck no," Whiteout clambered in, pulling a bag of messages behind her. Spatter rolled their eyes and shared a headshake with Inky, before continuing on to prep the flyer bay for departure. ...

While they had been staying with Boti's tribe, Vana had taken to following Comet around, wide-eyed and curious. It was nice to talk to another draconic, even if only to gripe about door handles, but the youngster never stopped asking questions. So, of course, Comet roped Whiteout and Clay into answering the never-ending flood. ((They were resting in an indoor greenhouse, built into a pre-existing ravine that had been roofed over with glass and designed with pleasant water features an...

Depths, Ambergris, and Sky had been traveling to L'Hatzif to scout out some possible ore deposits when a hurricane had struck. ((The rain had smashed into the towering fungi as the wind had screamed past the seams in the house they were sheltering in. Through the rain running down the glass, the swamps outside were flooding with the storm surge, and the elevated state of the home started to make a lot more sense.)) The other occupants, those who lived here, hadn't seemed perturbed by...

"Seafoam owes me double sashimi," Parhelion said flatly as he and Noodle and Whiteout examined the trail in front of them. "That's your problem," Noodle said helpfully, examining the tracks left in the swiftly-eroding sand. Whiteout sneezed as some windblown sand got in her nose. "You did say you wanted a pet dilev," she pointed out, adjusting her night goggles. Parhelion snorted and rolled his eyes as if that didn't matter. "Don't let the facts get in the way of so...

The good news that the flyer had been functional when Boti sent a message requesting some supplies from Skyward. It was also the bad news. Clay was desperately wishing he had flown as he clung to the seat, while Garnet looked equally ill and Whiteout fought the controls. Sand blanked out the view ahead, and wind tossed the flyer like it was nothing but a toy. The trip hadn't started out this way. They had started in Rekes, the sky clear and blue, with White...

((As the seasons began to warm, the thaws reached the snowcapped mountaintops. All the dry streambeds grew into trickles, which grew into streams, which turned into rushing rivers pouring down the mountainside. It washed out the temporary bridges folks used to cross the terrain, leaving people to scramble. )) Seafoam, Parhelion, and Inky were one such group, as they stared morosely at the rushing current in front of them. Though it wasn't necessarily deep, it was moving fast, fast eno...

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...

Though Fog and Fallow had been much more comfortable in the depths of the Ocean, they had been curious about Skyward's friends in Issiq. Mystery and Waveform had offered to introduce them, with the caveat that they would end up helping them in their mine, since Skyward needed some tin for some new picks. Fog and Fallow had been understanding, and so the trip was on! ((They all watched the desert flash past beneath the flyer with curiosity, staring with wrap attention at the ...

After meeting while gathering poppies, Fog and Fallow had decided to meet more with the colony 'over the mountains' as they put it. It seemed that Skyward had a good few caves with nice ore deposits nearby, and their inhabitants were happy to share with Fog and Fallow. Inky lead them towards the tunnel entrance, with Waveform talking to Fog and Fallow behind. They each carried some tools to measure the ore in the walls, except for Inky who instead had some mapping tools with them. Th...

It was a warm day for the mountains, and so Comet and Crevasse had stepped out to go foraging for some poppies. It was still too early in the season to find berries, yet, but Noodle had asked them to find some poppies so ze could make some more painkillers. Mitro had agreed to show them where a good bed of the flowers were, and so Comet and Crevasse were waiting for them when they noticed some unfamiliar shapes circling in the sky above. "Do you think it's Snickerdoodle or Sky?" Comet ...

Though those that made their homes under the water lived in a far different environment than those above the surface, they still had valuable insights and shouldn't be discounted. Glow, Whiteout, and Ambergris were visiting Sapient's tribe that lived in the depths of the ocean, and both Comet and Mistwatch had begged to come along. Glow was fairly sure they only wanted to look at the fish, but giving them a trip couldn't hurt. As their colony didn't have a dock as it wasn't ...

"What do you mean the flyer's broken?" Spatter stared up at Splash, blinking disgruntledly, wrench held in her tail. "I mean it's broken." Nova flicked Splash lightly with his tail as Noodle stepped in. "How broken…?" "Well, you technically could fly it. But it's a coin toss about how far you'd get before you go crashing down in flames." Noodle and Nova exchanged a look, and even Splash seemed put off by that. "How long will it take to f...

Noodle, dissatisfied with the compendium DPIP had sent their colony about the effects of the local flora, had decided to take matters into zir own hands. Nova and Splash had been - unwillingly - roped into this scheme, but when Noodle promised that ze wouldn't send them out for basaraytz fruit anymore, the two readily agreed. How bad could sampling some unknown flora be, anyways? Noodle wasn't stupid, and had asked the natives that lived in the area which plants were toxic, ...

The flyer set down in the fields of Mierh on a landing pad set up and maintained by the local tribes so that the vehicles weren't landing willy nilly all over their lands. Sunlight, Spatter, and Marin stepped out, blinking in the light, and looked around uncertainly. Glow had described what they needed to find and what not to collect, and showed them examples.

The humid air of the jungle was something far different than the dry air of the mountains, and Seafoam was already sweating. And cranky about it. Thankfully they weren't alone in this, with both Whiteout and Ambergris both looking uncomfortable in the heat despite not having Seafoam's layers of blubber. They felt a perverse sense of glee at not being alone in their misery, but the sooner they were done with this the sooner they could go home and soak in a snowbank. "The map?" Wh...
