thusia | That's it for now!

Who: Everyone
When: Day 112, late morning and on
Where: Headed Northward
What: A bit of normalcy

[Having switched routes from the preset course that was previously taking everyone southwest, the HQ now drifts steadily northward on manual navigation.

If one sticks their heads out onto the balcony and looks back, they can see the shape of a great feathered beast, her blue, green, and red feathers gleaming along a strangely serpentine body as she glides down on wings that dwarf the HQ. A few blasts of wind and a deep rumbling sound buffet the building, vibrating it a bit as she lands in the distance, followed by a haze of red shapes that rise off her and spread out over the area that the HQ once occupied.

There may be a tense moment while one waits to see if any of those red spots in the distance change course to pursue, but after maybe about half an hour of watching it becomes clear that for the time being none of those particular lizagons are interested.

The HQ drifts on, the jungle moving by below like a sea of green. It seems for now the HQ can finally have some peace. What will you do with the rest of the day?]

((ooc: A MINGLE TO BRING US BACK TO NORMAL PLAY. The HQ will be traveling at about 20-25 mph and take at least 4 or 5 IC days to clear the jungle, so in that time everyone is free to go back to regular posting! We'll be doing a more thorough summary and announcement stuff later on to catch everyone up to where we're at. Thanks to everyone who participated!))

You aren't interrupting.

[Reaches over to grab a sleeve or the hem of his shirt or whatever and pull him into a sitting position]

[well ok]

What were you doing?

Enjoying the fact that we are in a giant flying fortress.

Never thought I'd get to experience that.

It's definitely an interesting experience.

It's nice. I missed flying through the air.

[Laughs]

Though I bet this things has better brakes than hammer travel. Hope it does anyway!

How would you brake if you're travelling that way?

Ummm...

I guess by brakes I mean things that cause a sudden stop. That is sort of like braking.

Yes. . . but how could you do that with a hammer?

Carefully aiming for things that look soft and fluffy.

[....pffhaha]

I am sure that would be very challenging.

You can blame our hardheadedness on all the times we missed.

"Our". . .? You mean you and Red?

His is more of a deflecting stubborn, but yes.

I see.

. . .I was hoping to speak with you about something other than your hammer braking methods, however.

Sure, sure.

[Sits up so he can ruffle Syaoran's hair]

What's on your mind, Pochi?

Would you still like a tattoo? I think I figured out how to do with with my magic.

You bet I would! What do I need to do?

After we design it, you just need to hold still.

Design? I thought you had a pretty amazing bird all picked out.

Well, yes. . . but you still have to be okay with how it's drawn.

[GOES TO FETCH A PAPER AND PEN he has supplies from that one time he had to write a book for a quest]

Or we could just write-- [writes 朱雀 at the top] --which would match the others, I suppose.

[Stealing a sheet of paper and trying to write the kanji in a stylized way similar to what Syaoran showed him]

Hmmm. What if we did a little bit of both?

[Are you a good artist, Syaoran? Hopefully you are because Lavi tries to draw a bird around the words, but it ends up looking like a chicken]

[DECENT ENOUGH in another life he probably produced enough diagrams and sketches of artifacts to manage something]

Like this?

[sketches something a little more simplistic and stylized like this with the tail feathers curled around the kanji]

It's so cute!

Aah. . . is that good?

Yeah! I love it!
