@Perfectoranges
Your fine I just get frustrated easily is all

Sunblaze beams at the attention turning his gaze to the fortune telling booth watching curiously

@Newtinmpls
I appreciate you trying to interact with me my biggest weakness is shoving myself into rp with other ppl without them starting it.

In a good mood After talking to his daughter and pleased to see future children from his line
Bastion notices the black colored guardian trying to get his attention, he listens to his request. Advice I can indeed offer advice how you take it is a different story , but first I’m fairly sure I’ve seen you before what is your name and why are you familiar.

@Nozaria Ever the welcoming hostess, Sunset smiles and greets each member of the party in turn, repeating each name as she hears it and committing them to memory as she accepts their hugs and handshakes. She holds onto Kozhu's hand a touch longer than the rest, as if trying to get to know her grandchild's mate just a bit better before the moment passes. [columns]The bouquet Sunset accepts from Akitai, held in the crook of her wrist, reflects the sun's golden glow on her iridescent scales in a brilliant, pleasing way. She examines the flowers with a delicate touch, and reacts with awe once Kozhu explains its significance, promising to treat the gift with the reverence it deserves.[nextcol][item=Sunny Sweetheart Bouquet][/columns] Reverent can't even begin to describe the way both Sunset and Mudpuppy look when Sunshine emerges from the cradle of her family's wings. Mudpuppy looks back and forth between the young dragon and her elder lookalike, while Sunset is just staring, struck by the sight ahead of her. Finally, she begins to move, and Mudpuppy expertly lifts the bouquet out of Sunset's grasp just as she leaps forth onto the sand to circle around Sunshine. "My, my - it's like looking in a mirror!" Sunset gasps, then laughs to herself as she traces a claw along her jaw, where cracked scales and age spots are plainly visible. "A mighty special mirror, I should say." She tilts her head and offers Sunshine a soft smile. "It's a pleasure beyond words to meet you, my darling - now, can you tell me who exactly it is I'm meeting?"

Gothria honestly didn't even really want to come to the reunion. She just felt like she owed her family an explanation for her sudden disappearance. Baozhai darted off towards the rock where Sunset was sitting almost immediately after getting off the boat, making an excited squeal as she did so. Cherry followed close behind her. Lettuce chuckled to herself as she watched the hatchling. Gothria and Lettuce made their way down the beach, Gothria rolling her eyes at the Kai Twins as she passed by them. When they reached Sunset, Baozhai was running around in circles out of excitement. "Sunset! Sunset! Hiiiii!" Exclaimed Baozhai. "This is Cherry, that's my mom, and that's- umm... I forgot what her name is but she's really cool!" She said pointing to who she was talking about as she mentioned them. Gothria could tell by the way Sunset looked at her that she didn't recognize her. "It's me, Gothria. A lot's been happening in my life lately as you can probably tell..." She trailed off, not feeling like being a story teller right now. Lettuce grinned as she looked up at the Imperial. "Pleasure to meet you ma'm! My name's Lettuce. Me and my mate Tangerine have agreed to take turns bringing this little trouble maker to the reunion." She said giving Baozhai a affectionate pat on the head.

@Fantivity My biggest weakness online is probably chaotically jumping into any conversation that looks interesting. [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=73936871][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/739369/73936871p.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] “My name is Ddu; I’m actually related to Sunset a few different ways. I’ve always been interested in the Tidelord, and in finding hidden lost lore and arcana.” He glances affectionately to where the two Undertides are still playing around in the sea. “And I did find some interesting things in the hidden pools deep under the Everbloom Gardens.” [/columns] He sighs with weary affection. “Also being one of few who really understood the water element, I stood as Guardian for several adopted Undertides. Curious hatchlings, and mysterious underwater things, you can see where this is going and I’m just grateful that the energies of the Tidelord were blessings; inheritable blessings as it turns out; rather than something else.” “You might have heard mention of an Awakened Rivers lineage – that would be my ‘children’”, but the growing number is challenging to keep track of.”

The invite took him by surprise. Was the reunion really here already? Had that much time really passed? Meeting his extended family seemed exhausting as is, he didnt have much of a social battery to begin with. Not to mention the fact he looked so different from when he last saw everyone. And a plus one? Gosh who would he even take? Spent the day mulling over his options. He couldn't quite invite his ex, that would be far to awkward. He could invite his daughter Lorimer but oh, wait, she already left home. Same goes for Beans and Juniper... they were all busy with their own families now. Had so much time really passed that he had not only kids, but grandkids? The days passing by so quickly gave him a small crisis but the spiralling anxiety was suddenly stunted by a slam into the window by his head. Ferren hardly had enough time to process his thoughts before he looked up to see a heavy breathing Aether with his face smooshed up against the glass, looking ridiculous. [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/86537477][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/865375/86537477_350.png[/img][/url][/center] "Hey I found you! Why are you cooped up inside? Come on, Luce's garden is ready to harvest. If ya help, you get first dibs on produuuuce" "Ah" Ferren thought, "he'd be perfect" ----At the event, Ferren and his best friend Cada arrive---- @Tyrantrum "Wow this looks incredible. And the food is free right? Nice. So exciting. Never been to a family reunion myself, I don't know how I could. Huh, guess me and Luce will have to have our own sometime! Oh, you're invited of course. I wonder if theres--" Cada was trailing on but Ferren was too preoccupied to hear him. A familiar face. Just one. All he wanted was to see a familiar face in the crowd. Sure, Ferren was related to all these dragons but he didn't know them. The not knowing and overlapping noise made him anxious. "Oh hey, isnt that one of your kids?" Cada said, nudging him. "Huh? Where?" "Right there! That orangey yellow guy with the whiskers. Being all.... I don't really know. What is he doing? Man you used to have whiskers like that." Cada could never seem to stick to one train of thought at a time, but that was normally fine with Ferren. And he was right, that talkitive orangey yellow guy over there was indeed one of his sons. Ferren couldn't help but smile, a familiar face. "He seems kind of dramatic." He watched as the dragon sprawled across the ground, lementing over something. "Well let's go check it out. Tea sounds good, and maybe I can bring something home for Luce and the kids!" Cada had already began walking over to the tea shop, Ferren following in toe.

Thorn and Thistle land side by side as they watch in awe the sheer amount of dragons milling about on the beach. They had no clue what to expect after Thorn, the older sibling received a letter inviting them to the family reunion. Neither of them knew much about Sunset, only vaguely recognizing the name. Thistle grinned, excited to meet new dragons, and rushed off into the crowd with Thorn right behind him.

@perfectoranges Alright I give up; who is my descendant? Haha, I know I have one, but I can't find which it was, so if you have a list or something easy to work off of, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

This is such a cute idea! No idea if I'll manage to join, but I appreciate that you do this! <3

@JadeDragon18 here you are!

It's easy enough to identify which is which by scent: the crisp mint for Robyn, a familiar blend for Jaden, and a strangely sweet purple liquid clashing with a garish red teacup that must be for Plum. "Sorry about the mismatched cups," Aen says, gesturing to the stack of soiled cups piling up in a busbin behind the counter. "I'm running a little behind on clean-up."[/columns] [center]~[/center] @genocidejelly Just as Haru lays the finishing touches on her booth (and Pierce is finally entirely unburdened), a colorful Imperial pops into view. [columns]"Hi! Are you an artist too? Is this all your work? Looks fantastic! How long have you been painting? I used to try to paint every day, but it's hard to keep up. Last year I was offering to paint portraits, but it was so much work that I didn't get to visit any of the events! So this year I volunteered to be a runner for the vendors! So...anything I can do for you?" After this rapid-fire barrage of information, she just stood there perched on the edge of the booth with a big smile. [nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=69560869][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/695609/69560869.png[/img][/url][/columns] [center]~[/center] @toastedpencils Onye doesn't get far into the throng of dragons before one of his apparent relatives approaches him. [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=78169668][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/781697/78169668.png[/img][/url][nextcol]"I haven't seen you before!" he exclaims unabashedly. "It must be your first time visiting, huh?" He looks over Onye's gears appraisingly, but without the judgemental edge many such others might wear. A gust of sea air washes over the crowd, ruffling Onye's feathers, and the dragon in front of him swells with the breeze. "I'm Taio - I'm not sure exactly how we're related, but safe to assume if you forget my name you can just call me 'cousin.' What's your name? Y'need someone to show you around?" [/columns]
