Someone had to keep the clan stores up, and she couldn't really be sure i any of the returning dragons would bring food. Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't. Still, it couldn't hurt to look around the festival, right? It shouldn't take too long to see everything. @Serendipital It had been a while since she had been out treasure hunting. This looked fun. She handed over some treasure and went over to dig at square [b]G7[/b] @EclipseDragon She really wasn't sure what to make of this tub of objects, but this game would certainly be a fast one, at least. She stuck her head into the water...

[center][b]SandDune[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45877] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/459/45877_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] @Renessa47 - SandDune made his way over to Singmolii's Rockbreak tent. Only one other dragon had visited this tent during the Ceremony. That was SandBar and he had come back to the lair with a Tundra hatchling! So the other dragons had been nervous about coming to play. But today was the last day of the festival and SandDune figured the chances of finding a hatchling were very low (he hoped). He waited to be given a rock by the Imp in charge. Once he had it he looked it over carefully. There was no indication of what might be inside. Well, it would be fun to smash it open, so he took the hammer in his claw and popped open the rock.

"The festival's ending soon, isn't it?" she notes, looking at all the stalls preparing the close. "I wonder what I'll do when I don't have this place to check out. But it's been a good Rockbreaker's." She hands the treasure over. "[b]H7[/b], please." A wistful smile comes to her face. "That was the spot I picked on my first day over here. Let's make it my last, too." No drill today either. In fact, Rozlin now scrapes away at the dirt with a gentler, slower hand. It's not that she's suddenly forgotten how to dig - she simply wants to make it last.

@Renessa47 ((Don't worry about it! I figured that you were bogged down with Thanksgiving stuff. :) I still have one more dragon left, so I'll go ahead and bring her in.)) [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=6968258] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/69683/6968258_350.png[/img] [/url] Lobella walked around the festival grounds, rounding up members (especially younger ones) of her clan, making sure that everyone would get back home safely--Dragonhome and the Starfall Isles may be close, but strange things tend to happen when you enter Arcane lands. She had nearly round up everyone when she got to the rock-breaking stall. She didn't recall having visited this event, so she figured that, even though the festival was about to end, it wouldn't hurt to do one last game... To her surprise, however, Lobella wasn't the only member of her clan in attendance. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7289164] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/72892/7289164_350.png[/img] [/url] "Hey, grandma. Checking up on me?" "Nela. I. Am. [i]Not.[/i] Your. Grandma." "Why not? You're my mom's mom. Sounds like a grandmother to me." "M-maybe, but...just...never mind that, how long have you been here?" "I dunno. Haven't kept track. I think the Imperial running the stalls has been busy with other stuff. Looks like things are starting to pick up again, though." "Oh, okay. You mind if I wait here with you?" "Sure, go ahead."

@Serendipital [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/73307/7330670.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/72201/7220099.png[/img] Shawn wibbled nervously as Indiana asked if everything was wrong. "Nothing! Nothing's wrong, I just, um, I just, I like to supervise," he said, by now clearly favoring his left foreleg, the paw lifted high. "Oh, rubbish," Arao said, pulling himself out of the hole and spitting out the two rose quartz pieces he'd unearthed. "He got 'is leg all tore up in them tunnels down in th' waterways, an' it ain't never been th' same since. You should watch 'im gimp about of a mornin' when tis chilly, s'real good for a laugh." He illustrated by laughing. Shawn looked appalled. "Oh, c'mon," Arao said. "Stuff 'appens, yeah? Specially to adventurers. Kinda th' whole point of adventurin'." He took a piece of the pink quartz and pressed it to Shawn's shoulder, holding it there with his head. "U-um. What are you doing?" Shawn asked. "They say these stones what have mystickal healin' properties," Arao said, dropping his voice to a mysterious whisper. "D'you feel it? D'you -feel- th' pure white light o' th' healin' energies?" All Shawn felt was a cold hard rock digging into his sore shoulder. But it was held there by a warm mirror noggin, and that was...oddly soothing. "Mmaybe?" "Good!" Arao said. "An' lemme guess. You wanna keep diggin'. So, ehm, Indianer, issit? Reckon I'll have a go at [b]A7[/b], then."

@Renessa47 No worries, I figured it was because of Thanksgiving. I'll just go ahead with the last two dergs then. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7743781] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/77438/7743781_350.png[/img] [/url] As the festival wound to a close, the clan returned to the rockbreaking stall. "We're back!" Shurhuq announced. "Two of our new friends wanted to have a go, too. Are we still in time?" Throne smiled brightly at Sing and stepped forward. "I wish I'd come earlier, there is so much to see! I'm not much for strength but I'd like to try this game too. Is it very hard?" "It's harder than it looks," Shurhuq said. "It's easy," Tlaloc said. "You don't even need a hammer, just hit the rock with your head!" Throne looked at all the rocks. "I think I'll use a hammer, if it's all the same for you." She gave Sing another smile. "This one, I think," she added, selecting a dainty-looking tool, but which looked sturdy enough. "I'm ready!" [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=8009109] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/80092/8009109_350.png[/img] [/url] After Throne had collected her prize, Altair approached the stall owner. "I'll be going next, if I may," he said with a short bow. "It's very nice of the Earth flight to organize so many games and entertainment for everyone, I had a lot of fun and I'm happy I got to play. If you're ever in the wind steppes we'd love to have you over..." Sourleaf motioned for him to get a move on. "Just shut up and hit the blasted rock already, they'll be wanting to close up and go home," he said, but despite the sharpness of his tone there was a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He had a fondness for the younger dragon. "All right," Altair said, rolling his eyes. ---------------------- [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7789972] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/77900/7789972_350.png[/img] [/url] "Before we go, do you want to try the treasure hunt?" Banana asked. There was a resounding chorus of "yes!" aside from Ihuicatl who looked less than pleased. "I thought you said that we were saving up our treasure," she pouted, though really it was because she didn't want to dig for treasure in the earth because she would get dirty. Banana grinned. "Yes, but think about the prizes that we could win!" she said. She had saved up on the side so the ticket to the treasure hunt would be a surprise. A very well-received surprise, it turned out, as the dragons almost stampeded towards the stall. She almost regretted not playing earlier, now they'd only have time for one round before it was time to go. @Serendipital Banana pushed a small pile of treasure towards the female Ridgeback running the stall. "We'd like to dig for treasure. In... uhm... guys, where do we want to dig?" There was a quick confabulation. "The Earth flight is hosting the festival, so E... [b]E3[/b]," Shurhuq said with authority. The others nodded. "And if that's already taken, then E1," said Tlaloc. "Or E2. They all start with E so they're all good." "I can't see very well what's going on," Shurhuq said, looking at the playing field marked off with twigs. Several teams were already at work digging holes and the dust made it difficult to see which squares had already been dug up. "Maybe those are already taken." "In that case, what about H2? H, like in Happy Rockbreaker's Festival," said Mistral. "Or F2. F like in Festival," he added. "I think those are enough choices," Banana said with a small laugh. "Sorry," she told Indiana, "they're just excited to start playing..."

@Merides [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=3463632] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/34637/3463632_350.png[/img] [/url] [i]Athena hurried towards the delicious smells wafting from the tent up ahead. Finally! She had been a little afraid that she wouldn't be able to find it before the Festival Grounds closed, and Amber was definitely going to need something to eat... and come to think of it, so was she. There was the rest of the Clan to think of as well.... Athena sighed. She'd best get a [b]lot[/b] of food. She looked at the sign, and shrugged. "Can I have one of everything, please?" Quickly she counted the amount in her head--[b]Mussels, Cluckers, Melon Cubes, Rock Balls,[/b] and the [b]Grab Bag[/b]....now what was in there? Hopefully something tasty--and that would bring the total to 15 Geodes... good thing she had encountered the Clan Mother and received a hefty supply earlier! The motherly Pearlcatcher deposited the needed Geodes in the container, and took the food, nodding her thanks to the Snapper running the stand. Then she headed back the way she had come, to the Rock Guessing stand and her young self-appointed charge, who hopefully hadn't fainted from hunger yet....[/I]

@Renessa47 [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=6736576] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/67366/6736576_350.png[/img] [/url] Tahi walks up to the rockbreak stand. "I'm supposed to be exploring a cave system, but while I wait for the rest of my expedition team to get here, practicing my rock reaking skills can't hurt, right?" (He's dragon 4, and the last I'll send in. This has been an awesome week, can you pass my thanks on to the rest of the crew as well? :))

[img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/38012/3801174_350.png[/img] After bagging up the last few orders of food, Martha smiled wearily and turned the sign from "OPEN" to "CLOSED", taking down the menu at the front of the tent. It had been a long week, and she was more than thankful for everyone who'd stopped by... ... but her lair would be eating leftover cluckers for the next three months... ((Closed! I'm headed to bed. Thank you ALL for what you've done to contribute! There were enough purchases made to get NINE bears for next year's prizes!))

@EclipseDragon [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/69262/6926121.png[/img] Virtue mouthed something else soft and fluffy briefly, and lifted her head again. She couldn't do it! She just couldn't! Suddenly, three beastial heads rose out of the water inside the tub, and the tundra found herself face to face to face to goggled face with...[item=squall rasa][item=shalebuck][item=poultrygeist] "The others are never going to believe this," she said. "Not in a million years." Still dazed, she led her new charges back to her clan's campsite. Meanwhile, a couple of tubs down... [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/73113/7311207.png[/img] Dairo rubbed his paws together and dove into the tub, swimming around in it. He'd been away from his own private cave pool for far too long, and it felt good to surround himself with water again. And if he came up with something neat...so much the better.
