Bloodstone was bringing Bacuda and Veldet to meet Boti and their tribe in Issiq. Boti had mentioned that this time of year was a festival for their tribe, and it was traditional to bring or make food to share with everyone. Bloodstone had a dish in mind to make, but it was a little delicate, so she wanted to go to Boti's tribe a few days earlier and make it there. The desert heat would be a welcome relief from the all-encompassing cold of the mountains… Gru, Splash, and Pepper were c...

Noodle was accompanying some colonists from a neighboring colony into the ocean waters nearby Rekes' shore. They were hoping to do some fishing in the scattered islands between their home and Issiq where the water was shallow. They were bringing a few youngsters along to gain swimming experience, and Sapient had agreed to guide them so they wouldn't get lost. Being a denizen of the ocean, they knew its currents and landscape far better than those on the surface did. They were waiting i...

Glow wasn't sure how she felt about returning to the mud if L'hatzif, but Noodle had asked for some specific mushrooms. Bloodstone and Nova were coming along to help - the two adults had tried to convince Nova that he didn't need to see all the mud but Nova had insisted - and Kion was visiting from a neighboring colony to lend his nukap to the search. The flyers dropped them off near the City of Lights, but much to Nova's disappointment they had turned away from the(( massive plume o...

"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...

It was with some sheepishness that Depths made the second call to Rubus. He'd stepped on a sharp stick while helping people in the avalanche, and despite the application of antibiotics, it had quickly become clear that something was wrong with the healing of the wound. He had started to run a low fever, and the puncture wound site was inflamed and sensitive. There was a knock on the door, and Depths called for them to come in. Rubus stuck his head in, then shook his head at Depths in m...

Being injured was never fun. Depths had slipped and fallen on one of the nukap hunts, and though he had tried to walk it off, it had become increasingly clear that something was up with his ankle. Pepper, curious about the outside world, was accompanying him on this trip. They were traveling to see Rubus, the same physician that had treated Glow, given they knew him and liked his work. He was helping out a colony in the ocean that was dealing with an underwater landslide, so they wer...

Depths had been thinking about forging his own set of knives for a while. Not because he disliked the colony's stock - they were fine knives - but he wanted to make something himself. Noodle was coming along to learn some, and Depths helped ze with zir breathing mask before slipping into the water. They were after a rare ore that was only prevalent in the oceanic crust, and had asked some guides from the local ocean colony to help. Dragoo and Arazias were waiting for them just below th...

((The plains of Mireh spread out in front of the group, undulating into the distance with grasses that towered over the colonists. They waved in the wind, rustling against each other with a sound not unlike the steady roar of the surf, with distant islands of trees popping out at various intervals. Flowers and vines wove around some of the grasses, reaching for the sun.)) Glow, Ray and Bloodstone stood and looked out over the scene, waiting for some foraging companions to arrive. A f...

When Glow had been told about Seafoam and Snickerdoodle's encounter with the stranger who had tried to talk to them underwater in what appeared to have been some sort of sign language, she was curious. She had convinced Seafoam and Snickerdoodle to ask if the stranger - Sapient, they found out - would be willing to teach them the language. It had seemed useful to know, even if just to communicate underwater when fishing. The native agreed to visit, and by chance, a whelp was visiting...

The depths of the Ocean were a mystery to most, but Seafoam was curious. Snickerdoodle was also cautiously curious, but when Gerralt and even Ray said that they would come too, she nodded and gave in. If even a whelp would go along - despite the fact that e could breathe underwater - Snickerdoodle figured she could, too. There were devices they and Gerralt could use to breathe underwater, as they didn't have gills like the aquatics. They covered their beaks, with an extra pair of goggl...

((The mountains were… a strange new home for Spark. Peaks that soared high into the blue, blue sky, forests, and jagged glowing crystals. The peaks at least he could find a touchstone in the underwater mounts and ravines of the ocean - but the trees? The glowing 'bones'? It was all so new and so different. He was… more than a little lost, he'd admit, but thankfully one of the colonists that had adopted him sensed this and set up some time for him to learn from others.)) Spark st...

Though the desert of Issiq was wildly different than the mountain peaks of Rekes, Bloodstone thought there were some similarities. The difficulty of growing food and plants and the severity of the weather… she thought they could compare some notes. Thinking similarly, or perhaps merely wanting to get out of the mountains for a time, Noodle and Snickerdoodle had accompanied her. They stepped onto the stones of the streets around the transit center for Boti's tribe, ((and the heat hit ...

Though most had survived the avalanche last week, there had been a few that had been lost to the onslaught of snow and ice. Thankfully there had not been any from his colony, but Depths had still volunteered to stand vigil at the site of the avalanche. It was going to be below freezing in the mountains that night, so he packed accordingly. As he headed to the place, feet crunching on the ice and snow on the trail, he heard a pattering of footsteps behind him and looked back. "I ...

Seafoam was, frankly, more than a little tired to have been sent out on this errand. Rocky was joining them, and for that they were grateful, but it didn't change the facts that they needed some tolaat eggs. Why? Seafoam hadn't asked. Some sort of medicine or something, they'd assumed. Rocky had just seemed happy to get somewhere warmer. The prairies of Mireh weren't necessarily toasty in the winter, but as the pair considered a giant hole in the ground, Seafoam decided that it was pos...

The desert of Issiq was hot, to say the least. Depths and Glow had accompanied Noodle here for their physician training, but had ended up taking care of their own business. They had recognized a friendly face here - Boti - and had started taking with them. They had also met a friend of Maedra and Harbringer: a draconic named Gerralt. They had been chatting with them about killing time while Noodle trained, when Boti frowned thoughtfully. "If you want… it'd be hard work, but I'...

Wintertime in Rekes was always brutal. With the already thin resources, the thick snow that fell and refused to melt for months. In other words, it was avalanche season. Depths had been hoping that they could go through the season without a major one, but his hopes were dashed when he was out on a foraging run and heard the rumble of an avalanche close by. ((The trees around him shook, shaking snow from their branches, and a puff of snow showed over their boughs, white against the blue sky.))...
