Pippah

Draws a lot, but also not enough
Gets invested in people and imagined characters
Sometimes hyper, but not enough for the H
Tries to seem smart
Trouble keeping focused
Never elegant in speech
Loner, but lonely sometimes
Two rats. One is Simon, the other is Ben. I... miss you...
The rabbit's name is Snugs, and he's black. He was a good boy.

Lair Goals:

- Train every active perma to 25 and make them battle-ready.
Currently out of 113 permas:
79 are trained to 25
59 are fully statted
55 have eliminate, nearly all of which are natural drops because I'm cheap and I don't buy stuff.
2 are healers, and 2 are progens with inexplicable builds that I don't want to change because memories
Coliseum teams have been trained for Rainsong Jungle and every individual venue after.

Why am I so crazy about training my dragons? I'm not entirely sure... Using them in the coliseum feels like playing as them. For me, training them to level 25 is like their rite of passage, the proof that they'll be here forever.

- Draw for every active perma. I'm not allowed to like my own dragons unless I've drawn for them. :) Currently 20/113. Sketches are okay, but colored art is cooler. Viper, Blaze, and Kina have been given the most attention... Get outta here you human ocs

- Write a lore piece for every active perma, and maybe some inactive ones too... Currently 29/113. Only counting dragons who have more than two paragraphs. Most of it is concentrated in Founders and Outskirts. Patches and Neonel have so much writing. Pay more attention to Home darn it

- ...Do another lair count lmao it's outdated

- Gene some of the idiots in the Developing tab. Make one of them a Pearlcatcher... I want more modern breeds

- Collect Vistas because I'm obsessed with putting them in everyone's bio right now

- Scenes for everyone... I don't want dupes, but already have two lol

- uhhh

- find and name a dragon Smaugit (absolute legend)

Entry 91

This place is as I always imagined it! The storms, going on almost every minute of the day... It's relaxing. It feels like I was always meant to be here, in this desert. Somehow, even with this thunder, it manages to seem so calm. Aside from the storms, it's just so quiet.

Luckily, I was able to find a nice place to call home. The matriarch here, Galeca, welcomed me with open arms, like I just became a part of the family right then and there. At the border I met her daughter, Erie! Her colors remind me of this psywurm I befriended a long time ago. I miss her.

I also met this really big guy named Patches, and his mate, Winterkin. He's really friendly, and she's kind of quiet, but I think they were happy to have someone new. I also met this Ridgeback named Ryuk, a Bogsneak named Chelltrus and a Skydancer named Natasha. Natasha seemed excited too, but shy. Chelltrus was so quiet and stand-offish. I think she prefers to be alone, kind of like me. Maybe this is contradictory, but I'm sort of hoping we can be close someday.

Still, I wonder if I shouldn't have brought Tania along with me. She told me she likes the storms, too, but I feel like the sheer never-ending noise is a bit much for her. We're both introverts, yes, but she spends quite a lot of time in her home cave, away from anyone else. I kind of wish she'd tell me how she feels about it. We don't really talk like we used to.



Entry 108

I was given a roommate today, I guess? There's not a ton of space in the lair as a whole, most of it is filled with travelers and those wanting to serve the Stormcatcher, not so many permanent residents.

Anyways, my new roommate! He's an imperial with REALLY long hair, and his name is Wolf. He's pretty big, we had to dig through and expand the cave. He's also super quiet, all the time. I kind of think he doesn't even have a voice. He always whispers everything, so I have to be close to hear him. The other day Refutation tried picking on him while we were down by some of the spires. He just wanted to know what they were and what they did, and she was acting like he was some kind of idiot. He didn't respond, and she tried to push harder. Eventually I chased her away, but he never seemed to have any kind of motivation to protect himself. Instead, I tried to jump in front and make her leave. I thought for a second I might have heard him speak up, then.

I was one of the first people to meet him, which almost never happens. I don't much like being at the border because of all the traffic, but I wanted to go see how Erie was doing. The first time I met her, we talked for a long time, so I feel like she's a friend. She sure is dedicated to her job though, she hardly seems to come back home. When I met Wolf, though, he seemed sort of afraid of her, and he stayed closer to me. Maybe it's because we're the same age?

I wasn't sure at first how it would be, sharing my room with someone. However, everything has just seemed so much brighter with him around. I mean, literally and metaphorically. He uses his magic to keep the cave lit, and I keep finding myself playing with the little flecks of light floating about. I'm glad he's around.



Entry 143

Lindsah's here!

I've been so looking forward to this. After all that she's been through, she desperately needed a change of scenery, and I was finally able to help her get away. Now she's here! She met the Peacekeepers and Shiver first, which scared me. They can both be kind of violent, but it seemed like they respect each other. At least Shiver has a real reason to be so, unlike some of those from Lindsah's old home.

This place is a good community, and I hope we can all get along... I know Lindsah will have a problem with Refutation, though. I never said anything, but Refutation is kind of petty. Lindsah can be too, but she especially despises it when others make those kinds of decisions. If it's possible, by the Stormcatcher, I hope they never cross paths.

Aside from all that, maybe we'll all get a chance to relax now. Penumbra and Turmoil have come to the lair recently, from some... less than preferable circumstances. I'm also seeing some tension between Turmoil and Caesium, which I think is interesting. I think they might have known each other in the past. Maybe they were on opposite sides of some feud?



Entry 316

The trial was today. That poor kid, Blaze... I can't imagine what he's been through. Lindsah can. Luckily though, Blaze had Viper. Who did she have? I don't know. I wasn't around then.

It was kind of brutal. This whole clan seems extremely vitriolic towards these types of crimes. I could even hear the hatred in Galeca's voice, and she's always such the calming caretaker. Magicant chose to execute the accused, and the body was thrown off of the tallest cliff afterwards.

I just remember seeing those kids and their parents. The tundra, Blaze, seemed emotionless, and his guardian friend, Viper, stayed with him the whole time. Before the sentence could be carried out, though, the two families left. It's probably for the best, for what that boy had been through, it was better he did not see the death of his abuser.

Lindsah and I have been talking about this quite a lot. She left while the sentence was carried out, as well - while she can have some violent thoughts herself, she prefers not to see any of them enacted. I'm glad she left, too. We agree he deserved it, but seeing that death...

Why is it so much different than seeing the death of beasts?



Entry 693

I've been looking for this journal for a while. Turns out it was just in that cursed drawer I was avoiding looking inside of. This is perfect timing, I've been thinking I need to write more often, anyways!

The whole clan has changed so much since I first got here. Now there are dragons of all kinds of elements and origins, all kinds of strengths and statures, teachings and philosophies. It's a really diverse place. I still kind of prefer to stay inside most days, I'm a pure homebody, but I have had more business selling my sculptures and figures lately. The bug knight ones seem to be the most popular!

Wolf and I live deeper in the Canyon than we did before, in one of the newer, bigger caves, so we don't hear the storms as much. We've gotten a lot closer as time has gone on, too... I just feel like I can trust him with anything.

Anyways, though, it's just pretty out there. Outside, Kaymaha and Octavia are keeping these colorful flower gardens, and Korrutus has the winds bring seeds from the Plateaus for them. There's also a little area where Sruthan and Syrup keep the ground burned, so that the soil will be fresh for next season. I like to sit over there sometimes, it's so warm among the embers. I never knew so many dragons could work so well together, even being so different to each other. There's so rarely any strife.

As much as things seem to change though, some things always stay the same. Lindsah still doesn't eat enough, Tania stays further away than ever. On the literal bright side, Wolf always keeps things light with his magic and his kindness. I've also recently met a newcomer, Kina. She's a pure fighter. She's so determined, it's inspiring. If I'm really honest, it even reminds me to keep going some days.

Did I ever mention that the big pink Imperial, Zentangle, taught me to fight too? I never really thought I could be strong, but now I know what it's like. Lindsah and Wolf and I sometimes go to the Workshop, the place most avoided by the other fighters. Wolf isn't much for fighting, he keeps his focus on us instead as the healer, but Lindsah is ecstatic to have an outlet for her anger. You should see her go at some of those machines - I almost have to wonder why they keep challenging us!

We usually come back with all sorts of trinkets and mechanics. Firebolt and Silvia seem the most thrilled about that stuff, and I'm just glad it can be of some use. Sometimes I'll keep tiny things for myself though - my collection is getting a little too big!

What can I say? I'm a simple girl. I spelled my own name wrong. Don't worry, it was on purpose



Hatched two similar girls on my birthday, and they were both pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Not only that, but I saved their parents for that very day. The pair was one I bought close to when I started playing this game. I can't believe it went so well!

I hatched myself. Pipception.
