Flight Rising Discussion

[quote name="Butzefrau" date=2015-05-06 11:56:44] Young snappers sleeping in. Really sleeping in. Honestly, don't expect them at school again until they're grown up. They're just sleeping through their growth spurts. When they wake up, they have to get used to a whole new body and wonder why everything seems smaller and why they're so gosh-darned hungry. [/quote] @Butzefrau But... [quote=Encyclopedia]These dragons are nomadic, methodically following ancient, looping paths known only to their clan across the featureless plains. A snapper [b]does not sleep[/b] and rarely stops moving.[/quote] Did you mean that they have that one long nap before they never sleep again? Otherwise I think sleeping though puberty actually sounds more like a spiral thing. [quote=Encyclopedia]It is said that spirals possess only two states of being: unconscious, and full tilt.[/quote] Spirals are so definitely that student that's either sleeping in the classroom with drool out of their mouth [b]or[/b] throwing torn-off bits of their eraser all over the classroom and trying to make conversation with whatever classmate is closest - and [b]still[/b] manage to ace every test without anyone quite understanding [b]how[/b].

@Aryllia I guess I was thinking of snappers as being like the Earthshaker, who naps for...what, /years/ at a time? I bet Mirrors sleep a lot as they grow, too. And let's not forget Nocs. They just sleep during daylight, of course.

[/quote] I can totally see this!

[quote name="Zephyria" date=2015-05-06 19:57:25] gembond dragons have permanent pimples. Dragon pimples are hardcore that way. [/quote] "I have a [i]condition [/i]guys. Knock it off." Gembond is only cool when it's a nice color that compliments the dragon. Imagine some poor dragon with an lemon tert having gemobond. Circuit on the other hand, is in high demand and teen dragons will paint them on themselves, with mixed results(esp. from ones that don't know their tert's color because it's lacking a tert gene).

What about the exalted hatchlings growing up. The gods will have to deal with that

Skydancers would take dance classes.

Pearlcatchers have a spiritual awakening about their pearl.

Ridgebacks are overconfident in their tunneling abilities.

Imperials tell ghost stories about Emperors.

Nocturnes are confident in their ability to fly and they want to travel far from home.

Spirals are into parkour, or climbing where no one has ever climbed before.

Wildclaws try to act like the toughest thing around.

Guardians initially rebel against the idea of finding a charge to protect.

Mirrors want to join the Mirror Army to impress Jimmy from down the road.

Fae are insecure about their size.

Coatls exchange feather fashion tips.

InterFlight competition.

Ridgebacks in high school starting a borrowers club, in which they will steal erasers and pencils from the front pockets of the other member's backpacks, or from the girl they like, haha.
