Everyone turns to look at her, and a few people clap. Dr. Hazel is in the house.[/color][/size][/font] [font=arial][size=5][color=595f30]She brushes leaves off her shoulders and takes her place at the podium, seeing familiar faces and new ones. An orange Mirror dragon and a eager pink Imperial beam at her, while some new scientists hang back, still getting a read on things.[/color][/size][/font] [font=arial][size=5][color=595f30]"I'm glad you could all join us today," says Dr. Hazel warmly. She continues to shed the twigs and leaves she'd donned as camouflage into a neat pile on the floor as she speaks, totally at ease in the clubhouse that has now become a second home. "We're celebrating the annual decorating of the Behemoth by kicking off a new wave of scientific exploration. Hooray for science, everyone!"[/color][/size][/font] [font=arial][size=5][color=595f30]"Hear, hear," yells an elderly Skydancer, which spurs a wave of applause.[/color][/size][/font] [font=arial][size=5][color=595f30]When the crowd has calmed, Dr. Hazel continues. "If you haven't yet purchased ornaments for the Behemoth, I encourage you to do so. There's plenty of time to enjoy all the fun activities this week. But we'll be focusing on your discoveries here, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!"[/color][/size][/font] [nextcol] [indent] [/columns] [img]https://i.imgur.com/e6j9AlE.png[/img] [columns] [indent][nextcol][font=arial][size=5][color=595f30] [b]Welcome to the Sornieth Naturalists Society's Winter 2020 Conference!

"We're going to catch something good, I can feel it," she said, peering into the dark depths of the water as if a rare fish would pop out while she was watching.[/font][/size][/color] [font=arial][size=5][color=#6b4627]Several hours later, he was burning up from the sun—though they'd snacked on many delicious fish she'd caught in the mean time. "None of these are rare, though," Holo said, sighing. She folded her wings and slumped back. Her line tugged again, but she didn't seem enthusiastic to get it.[/font][/size][/color] [font=arial][size=5][color=#6b4627]But Viazir got up to look, pulling at it and using some of his own magic to hold the line steady. Holo got up to help him finally and after a long fight, they pulled the fish aboard. "What is it?" said Viazir. "Doesn't look particularly edible."[/font][/size][/color] [font=arial][size=5][color=#6b4627]"That's because it's a coelacanth!" said Holo, squealing. She got out her field guide and flipped through it quickly. "There! See? This thing has been around since the time of dinosaurs."[/font][/size][/color] [/font][/size][/color] [nextcol] [indent] [/columns]
