Roleplay

[center][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/renessa47/Rockbreakers-ceremony-festival-grounds_zpsa3c6fa23.gif[/img][/center] Flying into Dragonhome is a treat during the native festival, especially to the uninitiated. All clans get their hands on pigments, maybe even make their favorite colors themselves from what they pull out of their cave walls, and draw extra water from their deep wells to mix up brilliant and often times gaudy paint to decorate their lair thresholds with patterns and forms large enough to be seen from the air. Flags and streamers threaded with precious metals would also be wedged into crevices and pinned under small cairns of paint-dipped stones to glitter and flash in the harsh sun. The whole of the brown-grey deserts, mountains, and canyons would suddenly be awash in a bloom of enthusiasm, welcoming, and love. But greatest in all this tradition is the Hidden City. At the base of the Pillar, sheltered from most outsiders' view, is a massive hewn city lining the cliff faces and riddling the base of the First Shell and the Pillar of the World. Not a surface is left unpainted there. Even some of the citizens go about slathered in intricate designs and at night there is tell of Gem Masquerades where each strives to more perfectly resemble their favorite stone from Daddy's paws. The streets and skyways are strung over with bolts of the season's freshly dyed silks beaded with crystals and gems, interspersed with ropes twisted of pure metal-thread. The more nimble and brave artist even clamber up the pillar itself and spend weeks ahead of time laying out their designs to fill in time for the festival so that, as the sun rises and light strikes the Pillar, it appears alive and whole once more; a guiding beacon for brothers and sisters to come home. A dazzling sight for miles around, reaching its happy colors even into the sky of distant realms. The festival grounds themselves may not be so spectacular and dreamy as the fantastical tales of the Hidden City tell, but they are startlingly bright in the dusty landscape nonetheless. Great groupings of tents and shade-flies, roughly organized into blocks with clear pathways lined with directional flags, greet the eye as soon as most travelers approach Earth's shore. A gigantic set of swirling colored pebble art laid on a nearby mountainside directs travelers toward the faire grounds in a number of common dragon orthographies and even some obscure Wind, Water, and Fire languages. The sun has risen, the morning has begun, and many purveyors of Earthen wares and entertainment are set up and ready to see their brothers and sisters make their yearly visit...

Happy Rockbreaker's!))[/i][/center] Along the main boulevard of the faire grounds, a fairly simple pop-up sunshade of slightly faded and dust-coated gold, green, and deep red colors is erected over a large and fiersome-looking fiery Imperial. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=765992] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/7660/765992_350.png[/img] [/url] Stone benches ring his tent with a great big pile of rocks taking up the back half and several chests and tubs of mud taking up the rest. Laying his gauntlets aside, Singmolii dips a great hand into a mud bucket, brings out a massive gloop onto a side bench, quickly flops something shiny into the middle from one of the giant and glittering chests, and mixes it all up before applying his weight to the clod. Rather than squelching out between his talons, clear water comes rushing out to cascade over the work bench and he lifts his hands away to reveal a bone dry, rock hard ball. A curl and flick of his tail deposits it in his growing pile and he looks out over the morning's new arrivals. He dusts his hands off and slides over to the front bench, lined with all manner and size of hammers, under a worn but touched-up sign that reads- “[b]Singmolii's Rockbreak: Find out what the earth holds for you.[/b]“ [i][b]How it works[/b]:[/i] [LIST=1] [*][i]Ping Renessa47 in character with an approach to Sing[/i] [*][i]Sing will give you a rock to break[/i] [*][i]I'll do a random roll to see how well your dragon breaks it and determine what's inside[/i] [*][i]You get free loot![/i] [/LIST] [I]One turn per dragon for the festival, please, and try not to bring more than five from your lair to the stall.

[center][b]Treasure Hunt[/b] Online/Offline [b]CLOSED[/b] [b]Thank you everyone for participating! It wouldn't have been the same without you (and Indiana never would have found her hat)! A very Happy Rockbreaker's to all of you - thank you![/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=5783245] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/57833/5783245_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] A fierce-looking Ridgeback sits in front of a large arena, eyes darting nervously around the crowd. The sign above her announces that this is a “Treasure Hunt”, but it looks sloppy, the paint still dripping wet. The rest of her game is hurriedly put-together as well – the arena has only long twigs as a grid. [center][img]http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc368/Serendipital/e55c0a8e-c517-436d-9064-f7ef25dd0c06_zpsaa412a3b.png[/img][/center] “Step right up and try your luck! Dig in a square for familiars, baubles, and treasure!” she announces. “It’ll cost you a pretty penny, but you might just make it back…and more.” Just loud enough to be heard, she mutters, “But I’ll be keeping the Ultimate Treasure.” [u]How to Play[/u] 1. Ping @Serendipital in-character and choose a square to dig in. 2. PM 1000 treasure to Serendipital. 3. Receive prize (raffle tickets included!). 4. Repeat (once per day). At the end of the festival, the Grand Prize will be given out to whoever has participated every day. If there’s more than one person, the prize will be spread evenly among them with the help of a Random Number Generator.

Smells of questionable nature - spices, seasonings, and the distinctive undertone of cooking oil - waft from behind it, probably carried on that plume of steam that billows from an open flap in the top of the canopy. A Snapper with a friendly smile on her face bustles around, making sure everything is ready to go - tables laid out with napkins, grab bags right next to the check out, the drink fountain working properly. She places a chalkboard in front of the tent, carefully drawing the words on it with her hefty claws. [img]https://33.media.tumblr.com/2dad2f3cf498df529baf0a2029346fd9/tumblr_nffzxrGaHv1rmc7xjo1_r1_500.png[/img] She finally steps back and admires her work, smiling. The Festival Food stand is open for business! [i][u]How it works[/u] Ping @Merides in character with your food order. PM the appropriate Deepearth Geode amount to Merides. Receive food! Repeat as often as you're hungry! The idea is that we'll store up Cragbacked Bouldursas to give as prizes for next year's Festival - how cool is that?[/i]

"This is an i-deel spot to fig're it all out!" She laughs heartily as she ambles over to a spot along the edge of the main path. The hedgehog on her back grumbles, pulling his spikes over his eyes at the crowds of dragons milling through the fairgrounds. After several minutes, she has built herself a small but sturdily built stall. (Really, it looks rather shabby: the wood is slightly cracked and the nails show signs of rust. A brightly colored but coarsely woven cloth has been spread across the table and another has been hung overhead to provide shelter from the sun.) Plopping down behind the simple wooden stall, she pulls several rocks from her satchel and begins arranging them on the stall table. "Welcome, folks! I'm Sentinel! Please do forgive the mess. I [i]just[/i] got in from the fields, an' I must say I don't quite know what all I came back with! You see, my guide was eaten by a particula'ly angry Hainu, an' I simply couldn't figure'm all out! If ya'll could kindly help me out--I'm sure ya'll are friendly--that'd be real swell. Ya can see'm all below here. Think ya'll can help me?"

Ah! This is the moment I've been waiting for! There's nothing I love better than digging my claws into the earth. The rockier, the better. That area around D3 looks very promising. Let's try there first. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=4687447] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/46875/4687447_350.png[/img] [/url] (Antirro, aka Bones, is our clan's archaeologist/paleontologist, and he is very excited about this game! I've already received the reward for this round; just posting this retroactively). :)

[i](Sorry if we're still not supposed to post anything. I just really need to get to bed and don't want to miss out on taking part!) :([/i] [center]----- [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=3244307] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/32444/3244307_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] @Serendipital *pulls magnifying glass from satchel* Hm, yes. I think that I should like to excavate the area in F7 and see what may be buried beneath it. Hopefully, we'll find something shiny to add to our collection but I wouldn't say no to the fossilised remains of an ancestor either. Caelia might not be as keen though. @EclipseDragon Tut tut to the naysayers! Gem bobbing is more than a skill, it is an art! *sticks head into water* Blub..blub..I will..blub..show them!

@Serendipital [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=6993406] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/69935/6993406_350.png[/img] [/url] The Fae takes a perch right before the arena, blinking a few times at the grid laid out before him. "Hmmmmm..." He says, drawing out the word as if he was in thought yet all the while kept a monotone voice. He suddenly looked up at the Ridgeback, reaching up with his little arms to secure his hat on his head. "I choose to dig in G2." @EclipseDragon [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=6641805] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/66419/6641805_350.png[/img] [/url] Meanwhile, a female Skydancer approaches the Mirror that is hosting the game of bobbing for gems. She gazes intently into the barrel of water, watching the objects inside bob up and down ever so slightly. "A game of luck!" She suddenly says, sounding rather cheery. She moves closer, resting her front claws on either side of the barrel before diving her head in.
