Flight Rising Discussion

[center]Self exsplanitory, I document just every noteworthy quote retraining cannon lore about dragons from the Bounty of the Elements update. Starting today it's [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=98] Workplace Hazards [img]http://flightrising.com/dropbox/lore_lightning9943505.png[/img][/url][/center] [right][size=1]click the image to be brought to the entry Needless to say, there will be spoilers so please come back here after you read everything.[/size][/right] [quote] “Woooo, that was close,” the snapper whistled[/quote] Snappers have lips [quote] Flick clinging to the side of one of the many rocky plateaus supporting a lightning rod at its peak. The two dragons both watched as the precariously perched Ridgeback took swipes at the end of a disconnected cable just out of reach.

[quote]An ominous rumble of thunder from above followed.[/quote] ominous thunder is ominous [quote] He reached out a slender clawto grasp the frayed cable. [/quote] RED ALIRT RED ALIRT TYPO SPOTED AT 12 OCLOCK [quote]Flick wasted no time. Leaping past Dib, he landed his back legs squarely on a large power lever that had been concealed from their view. Without hesitating, he pressed hard on the switch with a maniacal grin. A shower of sparks erupted from the machinery and the cable Dib grasped in his claw lit up with arcing electricity. With a maniacal laugh as the powerful electrical current shot through his body, Dib grabbed the second cable and grounded the current. Just below the writhing spiral, Flick let out a whoop, “SHOCK SWIIIIIITCH!” Chasem stared on bemused. [/quote] Flick:[b]HI IM FLICK, AND WELCOME TO [size=7]LIGHTNING[/b][/size] [quote]“You’re being reassigned,” said the pile of parchments and blueprints laying on the desk before the three engineers. The trio blinked at the unexpected announcement from the paperwork. The voice came again. "Did you hear me?" Dib tapped a parchment in front of him gingerly, trying to create an open space with which to see the source of the voice. Despite his efforts, the entire pile of parchments and scrolls fell off the wooden desktop, revealing a mottled and bitter looking fae glaring at them. "Uh, yeah, we heard you, chief. Back to sector fourteen?" Chasem cut in. [/quote] Can we just appreshate just how well 1) that segway was handeled 2) how this fae character is reveiled 3) just how fitting this all is? everything i ever needed to know about the character is told through that cut and this small interaction and also [img]https://st.depositphotos.com/1049184/4009/i/950/depositphotos_40099235-stock-photo-angry-boss-screaming-at-crying.jpg[/img] Craklinne: [b]GET BACK TO WORK[/b] Imperial: AAAAAA [quote] Chief Storm Engineer Craklinne leered over her goggles at them[/quote] Would a fae look over like this [img]http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/015/652/230114_908223010.png[/img] or like this [img]http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/364/840/474.jpg[/img] [quote] she smiled wanly[/quote] faes smile.

I just put a kettle on,” she said, moving over to her cupboard for a mug. “Oh, that sounds fantastic!” Chasem exclaimed with entirely too much enthusiasm. After a moment of embarrassment, he went to ask Flick and Dib if they’d like some tea, too. [/quote] as someone who has worked in an environment where both tea and coffee is rediaboly avoidable to aid with productivity I can confirm that it is very often that if someone prefurs tea they will initiate with offering you tea. Vice versa with coffee so my dear workers I am proud to announce that [b]Coffee addiction soft confirmed for Lightning Cannon and at thE VERY LEAST MUGS CONFIRMED FOR CANNON THE PERFECT CONTRAPTION FOR HOT BEVRAGES [i]LIKE COFFEE[/i][/b] [quote] cactus tea?[/quote] tea confirmed cactus farming soft confirmed [i]cactus vodka not out of range of possibilities[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/WHcQJA1.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/RPIRkF7.jpg[/img] We are dealing with "the Russia" of the flight rising world after all. [quote]It wasn't all grueling. If they exhausted the day's work plans, they would spend time with Gertrude, and they all became accustomed with brewing cactus tea. Over the course of the project, the small mage's initially standoffish demeanor relaxed into a bubbly curiosity and a penchant for oversharing. She was undeniably interested in the work happening outside her humble quarters, and seemed genuinely pleased to have other dragons around. Chasem occasionally walked with her if the opportunity presented itself when breaks from work and the storms coincided, listening to her talk about her job as an Oculus assistant magister.

He turned to Gertrude, who looked like she was trying very hard not to be upset. He gave her a smile, “I’ll be sure to visit on my unscheduled days.” [/quote] [img]http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/crying-man.gif[/img] I NEED A PART TWO WITH THIS CAST FUCK IM CRYING IRL SHIT [quote] Chasem turned and left, hoping no one noticed his blush.[/quote] … …………………………………………………………… okay that changes their biology a lot actually. They'ed have skin. they developed (or where given) the ability to blush to souly have better interaction skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AcQXnOscQ8&ab_channel=SciShow watch this 2 minnet video. but because i know people wont actualy click on it im just going to copy and past ethe transcrip [quote] in every culture and every ethnicity around the world people blush. but animals don't and it's not just that most animals faces are covered in fur and feathers and stuff so we can't see them blushing. they actually don't blush. Charles Darwin called blushing the most peculiar and most human of all expressions which is awesome but why do we blush physiologically we understand it I mean we get the mechanics of why your face turns red when Burnie sneaks up behind you and pulls your pants down in front of the whole rest of the marching band Bernice anyway your face turns red because your sympathetic nervous system kicks in that's the network of nerves that controls your fight-or-flight response when it's triggered it signals the release of adrenaline and suddenly your heart rate picks up and you start breathing faster and then you're ready to run away your pupils dilate and blood rushes to your brain so you can take in as much information as possible and your blood vessels dilate in a process called vasodilation to improve oxygen flow it's basically the same effect you get from warming up before a workout but in the very hypothetical instance of my pants being pulled down the blood vessels in my face were responding specifically to a chemical transmitter called adenylyl cyclase it basically tells the blood vessels in your face to let the adrenaline in the weird thing is that these same superficial blood vessels in your face aren't usually affected by sympathetic responses I mean we don't blush when we're scared if we did that might be a sign that blushing served some sort of survival purpose but it only happens when we're not actually in danger so like why well some scientists believe that blushing evolved is a social survival trait when you blush then the person who's angry you can see that you're really sorry and the person who's laughing at you can see that you're visibly embarrassed if that sounds weird just think about the last time your dog chewed on the furniture then rolled onto its back when you got mad lots of animals have evolved this sort of behavior so they can say hey whoa I messed up I feel terrible and it's really hard to stay mad at your dog when it does that that's how you know it's working we may never know for sure why blushing became a thing but it could just be our way of saying sorry for chewing on the furniture[/quote] so yeah dragons do "the most human thing" =D [quote] Craklinne's goggles obscured her eyes[/quote] [img]http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/000/226/gendo.jpg[/img] I love craklinne [img]https://static.miraheze.org/allthetropeswiki/a/a7/GendoGlasses.jpg[/img] so god damn much.

Chasem and Gertrude are so cute together!

Now I can't stop imagining Arcanist descending on the reactor just before they're about to activate it and sitting there so they can't turn it on because he doesn't want to be replaced

ahh i love lightning so muchy
