Nettle has not found their true purpose. Music was well...Nettle scared off many with their music. Sprout was proud of their attempt, but they just did not have the talent. Flo helped them with their magic, but their magic was not stable. Wild magic. Magic missile projectiles from Nettle almost destroyed their mom's library. They helped their mom rewrite tomes and repaint and decorate.
They found a love of food and cooking though the food did not look appetizing. Cooking was really a hobby. The list of ingredients included:
[gamedb item=34751][gamedb item=5171][gamedb item=16040][gamedb item=34752][gamedb item=173][gamedb item=5170] and a dash of [gamedb item=3411].
The final dish was something to admire...well for them atleast. They didn't know how plants grew eyes around them or weird effects of wild mushrooms and plants. With the magical dish done Nettle was proud of themselves.
[center][item=Blue Jelly][/center]
Magic? Well Nettle's world view around themself shifted as a 2 headed sheep replaced their appearance. With a confused bleat they picked up the dish of jelly with both heads holding the dish. They offered the dish to the sleeping melon.
(I am so sorry Flo. I rolled a 10 on the Wild Magic. Annnnd a 78 for polymorph. Nice. xD)

I would normally grant a reroll - but~ it's hard to argue with the results.
@Barbieque
We are always happy to embrace a new melon, especially in these, um, turbulent times.
Waretelomn accepts your offerings with a sleep rumble, chewing his food while using poor Sandia's cheek as a table (truthfully she doesn't seem to particularly mind but ... she wants to have more melons!).
He takes a bite of the blue jelly and ... and ... you see a sliver of glowing green light past his eyelids for a moment!
...and then he opens his mouth wide and munches up the rest of the blue jelly, making a sleep sound of satisfaction as he nuzzles his mate. She tries to wiggle loose, but the great lazy melon simply hugs her closer and begins licking the remains of this latest meal off of her scales, a little more awake, perhaps, but still asleep!

Nettle bleated, pleased that their dish was helping their great great grandfather melon. More melons were bringing food for him! They had hope their great great grandfather would wake soon. The head with the slight curled back horns carried the licked clean plate. They would have to clean this dish, but for the moment the confused sheep would need help. Maybe their mother would help them. Or they would wait for the magic to wear off. A slight frustration for the dragon pair, but they would become themselves eventually.

Unfortunately, our melons are facing another crisis. The worst *kind* of crisis.
Waretelomn refuses to get up!
Spring is almost upon us, and the lazy berry refuses to get up, and poor Sandia is being held prisoner by his mighty dragon arms and wings. If nothing is done, she will remain trapped in his tender watermelon embrace forever!
Which, granted, is very cute, but that means no more adorable melons!
Thankfully, our most knowledgeable sages have consulted the sacred texts and, after long deliberation with the dragon gods, have found a way to awaken him.
Food! After all, he's been hibernating for months now and must be starving.
Unfortunately, the sacred tomes were unable to decipher what food would be best to help him awaken. That's where we need you. We have to try and find a culinary delight that will wake the slumbering melon so he and Sandia can have their clutch before the coming of spring!

there isn't much good food in the swamp, but Oran was able to find something that were close to edible, such as some [item=Over-ripe Cherries] and [item=Emetic Russula] boiled in [item=Sewer Sludge]. It doesn't smell good and doesn't taste great, but at least its food!

Waretelomn sleepily accepts both offerings, almost eating your hands in the process! He chews, swallows, and then opens his mouth in a snore. He's drooling on poor Sandia's head, his glowing scales casting strange shadows on the walls of the den.

Melindo brought some fresh fish, his favorite snack, in hopes that his grandfather might be tempted by the smell of delicious roasted Pumpkinseed Sunfish.
Merlot prefers to start his day by munching on Coffee Bean Hawkmoths. Being the thoughtful dragon that he is, he also brings a pillow for grandma Sandia in hopes that she can at least be comfortable until the find a solution to this problem.

[rule]
Waretelomn's tongue shoots out and wraps around a few pieces of fruit so he can draw them into his mouth. The ripe, fresh fruit crunches as he munches them up, making various sounds of pleasure. Sandia blinks as some stray juice drip on her cheek, her own tongue lap them up. Waretelomn begins munching on the fish, Sandia sneaking bites from it as best she can. Father Melon is starting to look more and more like a ripe melon thanks to all the offerings he's receiving.
He sniffs the coffee, and the feathers on the side of his head quiver. He gives a small sneeze and burrows his snout into Sandia's neck. Does he not like it or...
...or...is he subconsciously avoiding food that will force him to wake up!?
[rule]
[quote=hyddenchyld]Merlot, being a young, inquisitive dragon, began asking the other watermelons if anything like this had happened before.
Is there a reason he doesn't want to wake up? he thought to himself. Perhaps he enjoys the warmth that being near his beloved Sandia provides. Watermelons do need warmth to germinate and grow sweet, after all.
Merlot grabbed a book and sat down besides his grandparents. He found their presence comforting and hoped that he might keep Sandia company for a while as he researched more about melons. Part of being family is supporting each other, after all.
Melindo and his son Lanatus found him there and asked if he'd found any new information. "Not really," Merlot replied, "but I'll keep researching. For now, we should keep Waretelomn warm and well fed so that he can be healthy." The two Obelisks joined their Nocturne kin in sitting besides Waretelomn and Sandia, also finding comfort in spending time being near each other.[/quote]

Citrullus and his clan of watermelons that live in shadow did not have to much to offer, but they feel these foods will help wake the melon
[item=Star Moss][item=Glow Mushroom][/quote]
[rule]
Waretelomn eats up these new offerings, munching contentedly while making a happy sound at the added warmth of more dragons. He gives a huge yawn and - [i]finally![/i] - he opens his glowing eyes. He yawns again, his tongue rippling as his jaw creaks. He gets up to stretch, his very large belly brushing the floor of the den as he does. Sandia lifts her head, adjusting her hat so it sits more properly on her head. Surprisingly she seems hesitant to stand-
*maw!*
The sound is small, so quiet that it almost goes unnoticed. A second call sounds off soon after. Sandia's eyes glow as she slowly stands to reveal the two hatchlings rolling playfully in the nest. Was *that* why she didn't move even while her mate used her as a mattress?
But new hatchlings ... and on the first day of spring as well! A terrific omen!

The final dish was something to admire...well for them atleast. They didn't know how plants grew eyes around them or weird effects of wild mushrooms and plants. With the magical dish done Nettle was proud of themselves.
Magic? Well Nettle's world view around themself shifted as a 2 headed sheep replaced their appearance. With a confused bleat they picked up the dish of jelly with both heads holding the dish. They offered the dish to the sleeping melon.
Waretelomn accepts your offerings with a sleep rumble, chewing his food while using poor Sandia's cheek as a table (truthfully she doesn't seem to particularly mind but ... she wants to have more melons!).
He takes a bite of the blue jelly and ... and ... you see a sliver of glowing green light past his eyelids for a moment!
...and then he opens his mouth wide and munches up the rest of the blue jelly, making a sleep sound of satisfaction as he nuzzles his mate. She tries to wiggle loose, but the great lazy melon simply hugs her closer and begins licking the remains of this latest meal off of her scales, a little more awake, perhaps, but still asleep!

Nettle bleated, pleased that their dish was helping their great great grandfather melon. More melons were bringing food for him! They had hope their great great grandfather would wake soon. The head with the slight curled back horns carried the licked clean plate. They would have to clean this dish, but for the moment the confused sheep would need help. Maybe their mother would help them. Or they would wait for the magic to wear off. A slight frustration for the dragon pair, but they would become themselves eventually.

Melindo brought some fresh fish, his favorite snack, in hopes that his grandfather might be tempted by the smell of delicious roasted Pumpkinseed Sunfish.
Merlot prefers to start his day by munching on Coffee Bean Hawkmoths. Being the thoughtful dragon that he is, he also brings a pillow for grandma Sandia in hopes that she can at least be comfortable until the find a solution to this problem.
Waretelomn's tongue shoots out and wraps around a few pieces of fruit so he can draw them into his mouth. The ripe, fresh fruit crunches as he munches them up, making various sounds of pleasure. Sandia blinks as some stray juice drip on her cheek, her own tongue lap them up. Waretelomn begins munching on the fish, Sandia sneaking bites from it as best she can. Father Melon is starting to look more and more like a ripe melon thanks to all the offerings he's receiving.
He sniffs the coffee, and the feathers on the side of his head quiver. He gives a small sneeze and burrows his snout into Sandia's neck. Does he not like it or...
...or...is he subconsciously avoiding food that will force him to wake up!?

Merlot, being a young, inquisitive dragon, began asking the other watermelons if anything like this had happened before.
Is there a reason he doesn't want to wake up? he thought to himself. Perhaps he enjoys the warmth that being near his beloved Sandia provides. Watermelons do need warmth to germinate and grow sweet, after all.
Merlot grabbed a book and sat down besides his grandparents. He found their presence comforting and hoped that he might keep Sandia company for a while as he researched more about melons. Part of being family is supporting each other, after all.
Melindo and his son Lanatus found him there and asked if he'd found any new information. "Not really," Merlot replied, "but I'll keep researching. For now, we should keep Waretelomn warm and well fed so that he can be healthy." The two Obelisks joined their Nocturne kin in sitting besides Waretelomn and Sandia, also finding comfort in spending time being near each other.

Waretelomn eats up these new offerings, munching contentedly while making a happy sound at the added warmth of more dragons. He gives a huge yawn and - finally! - he opens his glowing eyes. He yawns again, his tongue rippling as his jaw creaks. He gets up to stretch, his very large belly brushing the floor of the den as he does. Sandia lifts her head, adjusting her hat so it sits more properly on her head. Surprisingly she seems hesitant to stand-
*maw!*
The sound is small, so quiet that it almost goes unnoticed. A second call sounds off soon after. Sandia's eyes glow as she slowly stands to reveal the two hatchlings rolling playfully in the nest. Was *that* why she didn't move even while her mate used her as a mattress?
But new hatchlings ... and on the first day of spring as well! A terrific omen!
