Raffles & Giveaways

With a huff and a puff, she wrenches a stuck old lamp from the earth where it lay for years before. She looked at it with curious eyes, wondering who might have used it, and for what purpose. Amadea glanced back at the group of dragons in the distance behind her, chattering about plans to move new items into the ruins. The mostly sunlit spaces have already had a collection of items move in, but the darker areas remained mostly untouched. She thought for a moment and flew quickly into the distance. The fae soon returned with a myriad of lamps, lights, candles, and more to light the way for any dragon who needs to see in the shadows. The candles were properly covered to ensure the flame will be only a light source, and hopefully nothing more than that amidst the green vegetation. She called over dragons to the new item pile, and slowly even the darker regions of the area began to shine with pinpricks of light.

Still, the ruins are looking much nicer. He is pretty proud of what he has accomplished so far. He feels stronger, more energetic this morning. Perhaps all his efforts will be rewarded somehow. Plus he can't say no to the kind Guardian. He does avoid the heavier objects and furnitures. Hovering around and picking up emptied nests, scattered parchments, tarnished jewellery and any old litter lying around. He also found many lutes, keeping the one in the best condition. He spends the nighttime playing an old and simple nursery rhyme, wondering what tomorrow will bring.

Spyre sighs. "At least it's not more heavy work."

He was forced to take Monday off, too sore from the previous day's work to do anymore, but he was back and better than ever. This time he brought company as well!

Alaia's gear was too hot for the jungle, but she refused to change into something lighter. It did have the benefit of keeping the bugs off, albeit she was going to sweat a ton in exchange.

She shrugged, studying the buildings and dragons with a blank face. Together, they found a building that needed some clearing, and ducked in. Most of the stuff inside was junk, moth eaten cloth that fell apart in your hands, shattered ceramics that had to be carefully swept away to not cut soft skin, things that just couldn't be salvaged. But there were a few pieces of note.

Alaia tapped his shoulder and motioned to a small pile she had made. There was some old jewelry and a couple of mostly intact figurines. The metal was tarnished, but with some polishing, it would probably be lovely.

"Oh, nice finds." He picked up one of the old bracelets, holding it next to his own. They were very similar in shape, and he wondered if under all the dirt they would still look the same, or maybe completely different. "Lets put these somewhere out of the way. See if we can't bring them some new life."

She nodded, gathering them into a spare pouch.

It's easy to get distracted, going through someone's belongings, and she can't help her mind wandering into what the lives of each resident might have been like. "Slow day?" A familiar voice interrupted her wandering mind. "Aysha?" Dicentra turned to see the faces of her good friends through the pane-less window.

"I wasn't [i]hiding[/i]. I was [i]helping[/i]." "Well so can we. Two heads are better than one-" "-And three are better than two!" Dicentra smiled, the day would at least pass quicker with friends and Fasciatia would stop her procrastinating (even if they did distract her in a different way).

It was working very well to keep him comfortably cool, but he could still feel the temperature around him, much higher than he was used to, in spite of his Nature heritage. He knew he'd have been miserable without it! As it was, he was quite keen on poking through the ruins they had freed from the overgrowth and rubble, and speculating on who or what had lived there. This area, for instance, had so many chewed up toridae toys that [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/54673290]Nosuncharth[/url] would surely have been intrigued. Then he spotted a glint of gold, and uncovered a small cache of golden collars. They [i]must[/i] have had pets! Unless... they used these things themselves? He would need to study more evidence to be certain. For now, he would have to be satisfied hauling his finds out to be sorted and catalogued by other dragons.

Daily ping please!

[center]Bangarang passes through. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/75145844][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/751459/75145844_350.png[/img][/url][/center] Through the dark passages of the looming forest moves a huge undulating patch of shadow, green as the moss and smooth as the rocks in the river. Making no noise but the faint rush of a distant breeze, Bangarang has completed his long pilgrimage and is returning to his home lair. Something, however, is different. His slow meditative pace is interrupted by the unexpected bustle of industrious dragons. Blinking in surprise, he takes in what was once a wide but unremarkable clearing, and is now the centre of intense activity. He listens respectfully to the kind guardian who greets him, and makes the traditional offer of labour due to all he meets. As he moves into the area, Sweetbark and her mate look up, happy to greet a familiar face. They seem to have found the back entrance of an old workshop storehouse, judging by the piles of moldy old carpets and soggy rotting boots.

She had quite enjoyed clearing out the bigger items but now most of the stuff she was clearing out now required her to lean down and her staff and Gladegift Garlands kept getting in the way. She sighed, a little frustrated, but was revitalized by all of the other hardworking dragons beside her. They were already seeing results from the ruins and it was only the third day! Just imagine what it would be like at the end of the week.

Finally he stashes the discarded toy into his pack. [b]"Tokens of love shouldn't be tossed quite so easily."[/b] he murmurs to himself. (Not going to make it before roll over but hey got a bit of RP in)

There’s a Guardian in the middle of the ruin village’s plaza: red-scaled and red-eyed, she looks like a being of Plague through and through except for the contrasting flowers she’s decorated with and even though she’s very much on the small side for a Guardian, her clashing presence gives her an intimidating look. Plus, she’s arguing with a Fae - with eyes of Nature - that flies around her head and seemingly does his best to annoy her. Some dragons look from a distance and next to you someone asks if they’re trying to drive her out. But as some approach the scene, the Guardian startles and suddenly seems much more timid. The Fae snorts in amusement as she murmurs: [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/46097339][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/460974/46097339.png[/img][/url][nextcol][indent] [font=arial][color=#931A6A][size=5]"Ah- Excuse us… My brother Pavo is only visiting the Viridian Labyrinth for the festival once a year and is a bit out of the loop it seems… We’re supposed to help you all out today. Looking at the progress you all made so far, I think we should take our time to ensure the wildlife didn’t suffer from the disturbances and leave some materials for them to build new shelters, now that we cleared up the ruins for dragonkind. We don’t want to claim the forest after all, but share it instead."[/columns] [font=arial][color=#595f30][size=4]Pavo rolled his eyes sometime in between but didn’t say anything - instead he landed to perch between her horns, boredly looking at his claws while she continued. Now he perks up again and stretches his wings. [columns][font=arial][color=#931A6A][size=5]"Well well, alright then Madani, that’s fine by me. You do your wildlife protection thing, but we still have some work to do. Clearing the ruins is one thing, but in this condition I wouldn’t hope someone has to live here. We’ll need some dragons to make sure these buildings aren’t in danger of collapsing first and foremost, but also patch up the holes in roofs and walls. And there’s probably even more to do, so we should get started."[nextcol][indent][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/46058888][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/460589/46058888.png[/img][/url][/columns] [font=arial][color=#595f30][size=4]He takes flight again and the argument seems to be resolved by splitting up. For his attitude, he at least doesn’t seem work-shy. [center][item=Sanded Pine Plank][item=Titanium Wrench][item=Azure Yuccarope] [font=arial][color=#595f30][size=5]The ruins have been cleaned very well so far, but there’s still work to be done. If we want to make this place a future home, repairs need to be made! Please bring tools and materials to make these homes safe shelters again today - and, let’s not forget the creatures of the forest either! We’ve disturbed them quite a bit the last few days, but this is also their home and as dragons of Nature, we want to care for them, too. If you can, leave nesting materials for the local wildlife, and help the invaluable insect populations thrive! [item=Tiny Feathers][item=Honeybee][item=Dusty Canvas Scrap] [color=#931A6A]Also once more a reminder for everyone to please revisit the rules and ticket rates. 10 [b]same[/b] Items equal a ticket.
