oh dear

Who: Sorey and Mikleo
Where: IT'S COMPLICATED (above Aimintas)
When: Day 21 (7/29; day after the Palai Festival)
Open/Closed: Open to all!


i. gadgets and gizmos aplenty
What was that thing, anyway? Ugh, that stung--

[the afternoon after the Palai festival, an open telepathic broadcast flickers across your awareness from Sorey and Mikleo, the two of them speaking in low, rather cautious tones]

Hey, everyone. We've made it up to the island that's above the city, and it's...strange, to say the least. There's a lot of items here on the shore...it's a bit like the market? Lots of them are broken, though. There's no one else up here, at least in the bit we can see.

We think there's jungle on the rest of the island, but it's hard to tell. There's some kind of barrier up here that lures you closer and then shocks you if you touch it; it's making it hard to get a better idea of what's inland. Has anyone dealt with one of these before?


ii. they're beauty they're grace
[and, later, even if you ignored that, it's maybe harder to ignore when the sky ocean just straight-up spits out a small dragon with a human rider. the dragon's claws are fastened in something almost as large as it is and it's clear the moment it hits the open air that trying to carry that thing down was the worst idea.

even from that distance you might be able to make out the thin thread of panicked screeching as they gracefully descend (READ: DO A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS CONTROLLED DROP THROUGH THE SKY) towards the city. they do manage to aim for the open farmland instead of the more populated area within the city walls.

...if you head over there to check it out you'll find both dragon and rider prostrate with exhaustion in the middle of a group of curious Palai. there is still a small shark with its teeth firmly embedded in the dragon's tail; it looks like they had a rough ride through the ocean. the thing they were trying to bring down? it's gotten a bit smashed up from the fall, but it's still recognizable as a small wooden rowboat. the oars are still intact, at least.]
