This is the first real RP I have managed to do in all too long of a while, and it was set in the Gaming Chat, which was only relatively peaceful because I had about half the room ignored. The other muns, besides myself, on my dragon sn, were Lance and Eric and Carol. Eric couldn't stay though... and it would have been interesting to see how my char would have reacted to his' being in the bar. Anyways. This started out as my meaning to help an FF newbie get a handle on things, and if you notice, you'll see Zaarin-mun increase in the level of detail put into his posts. He had to leave at about the same time as Eric though, so it ended up being just me and Carol and Lance.

Kawairashii Ryu: ::The baby ryu flew on softly beating wings, a slight whir of sound from their rapid flapping against his silvery scaled back. His round baby belly hung down a bit, but not so as to make him look fat.. it was only baby fat after all, and that was cute. He was small, barely 30 pounds, and not ominous looking at all... just, kawaii. Cute to the extreme.. who ever said only human babies were to be gushed over anyways? The long slender silver tail was clutched nervously in one chubby sable clawed hand, and his serpentine eyes glanced about nervously, as he hovered in the doorway, turning from side to side for a few moments, and then took in a breath, bravely, and flew inside, coming to rest on his little haunches on the bartop.::

Zaarin DarkFire: awwwwww

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Walking quietly down the alley on the side of the tavern, Joyeux hanging ever faithful on his hip. The white sapphire stone set within it's hilt glittered as the full moonlight caught it. A genuine smile etched onto his face, he walked care-free and relaxed, a content sigh escaping his lips as he reveled in the cool night breeze::

oX Gully Xo: ::she twirled the end of her blonde pigtail around her tiny finger. Nervously she bit her lip, her green eyes growing wide with wonder upon seeing the baby dragon. Gully had never believed in dragons, her father had told her stories about them, but she had always thought they were myth::

Zaarin DarkFire: ::floats to dragon::

Zaarin DarkFire: what's your name

Kawairashii Ryu: ::Ryu shrunk back in fright and huddled behind the counter, trembling and curled into a small ball of silver baby, that long tail twitching from side to side slowly. His clear glassy azure eyes reeked of innocence, and were wide. He gulped once and hid his small head, praying he just disappear into the floorboards::

Zaarin DarkFire: ::smiles softly::

Zaarin DarkFire: what's the matter little guy?

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He raised up his head slightly and cocked it to one side, the sable horns looking none too menacing on one so young. Flicking out a long thin forked tongue he whispered in a slightly raspy, whistly lizardly voice:: Scared of yew... ::And then he huddled back down into a ball, and "hid"::

oX Calibretto Xo: ::The lumbering behemoth of a machine was crouched low outside the tavern window, peering inside as best he could, one cast iron hand moving up to those orange glowing eyes slowly to shade the his view. As that one arm came up a loud hiss came forth from the machines joints and a plume of steam rose slowly up into the cool night air::

Zaarin DarkFire: ::climbs slowly over the counter and kneels next to the little dragon::

Zaarin DarkFire: why scared?

Jacen Silvermoon: ::His stride light and fluid, not choopy or burdened in the slightest, he was truly on top of the world this eve. Having just come from seeing his fiance, the wide beaming smile suggested as much. His hands clasped behnd his back as he rounded the corner, he looked out onto the wider skyscape he now had, no longer restricted from the two walls he had had on either side::

Kawairashii Ryu: Scared of everything..::He yelped and took off, hauling silvery scaled dragon ass to the other side of the room, his form a literal blur. He huddled under a table, clinging to the stem of it, his little arms not reaching more than halfway around the thick wood. The little claws were all that could be seen now::

oX Calibretto Xo: ::He was more worried about how he was going to get in there rather than who was actually within. One of his size normally didnt enter indoor establishments without tearing the place asunder. He stood up, the repercussions of his movement evident as more hissing, and even more steam was let off of his mechanized workings. He looked around curiously, those orange glowing eyes searching for perhaps a safer way in::

oX Gully Xo: ::she reached around drawing her cloak tighter about her, eyeing the dragon. She knew exactly how he felt. People always overwhelmed you when you were little. they were well meaning but scarey, all the same. She shot the Baby dragon a knowing look and then returned her eyes to the tabletop in front of her::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Marveling in the beauty of the myraid of stars he now gazed upon, he did not immediately notice the lumbering metallic object that peered into the tavern window. The hissing steam pulling his attention to the large being just off to the side of him, he started with surprise.:: Oh! ::Taking a quick step back, one hand feel to the hilt of Joyeux, his eyes displaying wary concern over this....things..intent::

Zaarin DarkFire: ::stands up scratching his head, trying to think why this little creature is so afraid of everything. trying to decide what to do next::

Zaarin DarkFire: ::floats through the counter::

oX Calibretto Xo: ::he heard the smaller mans exclamation of worry and he turned slowly, the glow from those eyes of his falling upon the stranger. His internal computing system recognizing him now as less than a threat, so far.:: I did not mean to startle you sir......Hmmmmzzzzt.

Kawairashii Ryu: ::The dragon shivered and shook, crouching down a bit now, huddling closer to the floor on his small haunches, the sharp black claws on the tips of his toes digging into the worn and stained floorboards. Slowly, ever so cautiously, he poked his head around one side of the table's base and peeped out, wide eyed and sniffling a little. The spectacle was overwhelmingly.. adorable.. but all Ryu was aware of was that this place was no less scary than it had been the last time he was here, the only difference this time was, he could see no familiar faces::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::He stood perplexed. He had never seen such a thing before:: Oh...um...::he stumbled a bit for the right words, still somewhat wary of the polite speaking robot:: No, I should have been watching where I was going. I apologize for disturbing you. ::Smiling politely he slowly, though not trying to make it LOOK like it was slowly, he began to edge around the metallic being and to the door::

Zaarin DarkFire: ::floats over towards the table that the small dragon is hiding beneath and squats a good distance from it smiling over at the little creature. he clasps his hands together and rests them over his knees::

Jacen Silvermoon: ((Hehe, Mary, your dragon is so CUTE!))

Zaarin DarkFire: what's your name?

Kawairashii Ryu: [] Hehehe I know. I love this charrie. []

oX Calibretto Xo: ::he watched the human male as it made its uneasy progression to his side, he turned his body face him and his head tilted a bit curiously to the side::

oX Calibretto Xo: Please....i am wondering...hmmzzt.....if you could help me.

oX Calibretto Xo: (( whew.........tired))

Jacen Silvermoon: ((Yeah well...I got this big ole thing outside with me scaring the pants off of me here. Sheesh....))

Jacen Silvermoon: ((Know the feeling Eric, it's all good))

oX Calibretto Xo: (( He just wants to get someone to teleport him inside......hes a shy guy, he doesnt want to break the wall down to get in))

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Curious as to what this thing could possibly need help from him with he paused and looked genuinely interested:: Sure...how can I help you, erm....sir? ::he frowned slightly, that last word just not sounding right but he put it in anyway, not really sure why::

Kawairashii Ryu: ::The baby pulled his head quickly back behind the table's base and hid again; maybe if he didn't say anything, then he would just be left unnoticed.. he hoped, he prayed... A little growl from his round baby belly betrayed his wishes to remain hidden.. He clenched his little jaws together, and clasped his tummy with both arms, bending over, as if that would hush it's rumblings.::

Zaarin DarkFire: ::frowning and taken aback, he sat down and watched the little critter's actions, preplexed, for a moment, then stood up, still frowning and began to make his way towards the door where some interaction was taking place outside. he hoped to make at least one new friend tonight and this draconian clearly didn't want to make friends::

oX Calibretto Xo: ::he turned his head, almost longingly as his eyes gazed towards the door of the bar. He nodded a bit as he spoke and one of his cast iron appendages came up, not meaning to be threatening but , the arm he chose was the one that contained his energy cannon. Nevertheless..he pointed and spoke:: The door to the tavern is a bit too small.....I was..... hmmmzzt...... wondering if you were a sorcerer

oX Calibretto Xo: And perhaps.....could teleport me inside.

oX Calibretto Xo: ::he blinked his eyes a bit, even then the small workings of those tiniest of machines could be heard with a soft click::

oX Gully Xo: ::she giggled a bit hearing the baby dragon's tummy rumble, and she arose from her chair making her way into the kitchen back behind the bar. She found the cold box, but the handle was high and proved to be a bit of a challenge, pulling over a stool, she crawled up pulling the cold box door open. She looked at its content deciding to grab two large steaks and a chicken::

Kawairashii Ryu: ::One silvery dragon tear seeped from his left eye, trickling slowly down his scaley cheek, shining as it caught the reflection of a bit of light. He whimpered and whined, curling himself even more tightly into a smaller still ball of silver scale wings and tail beneath the table. He pouted, trying his hardest, quite sincerely to not cry, and be the brave dragon he suspected was hiding somewhere inside him, beneath all of the anxiety and fear::

Kawairashii Ryu: [] So cwute.. I love my dragon.. ::Gushes:: ^^ []

Jacen Silvermoon: ::He eyed the massively large armament that was extended merely a few feet away from him and pointed a little too close for his comfort. Sidestepping a bit more out of the way of the door, he shook his head::: No, sadly, I am not a sorcerer. All I know is but a few minor healing spells...nothing to help one of your size through this door...

Jacen Silvermoon: ((Heehee, Mary...it's adorable))

oX Gully Xo: ::she crawled back down off the stool and slowly, cautiously made her way out to where the little dragon was. She stopped a good 10 feet from him and set the meat on the floor, before she turned and walked back to her seat::

Kawairashii Ryu: [] I know.. that's what his name means too.. In Japanese of course.. []

oX Calibretto Xo: ::he sighed, strangely enough, a heavy almost heartfelt sigh, especially coming from such a mechanical creature, hardly looking like it was fit for emotion:: I see.....hmmztt...then perhaps you could go inside and find someone for me??

Jacen Silvermoon: ::He nodded:: Yes, of course, that I can do

Kawairashii Ryu: ::The little dragon's senses were perked.. he caught the scent of his favorite food.. chicken.. and that was enough to banish back the insecurity for now.. at least somewhat. He peeked his small head fully around the base of the table that had thus far been his sort of haven, and eyed the platter of food with eyes that almost danced.. licking his lips slowly with the bright blue tongue.. and even beginning to drool a bit as he gazed longingly at the chicken.. hoping that it wasn't raw though.. because to roast it in here would draw much unwanted attention.. his little fire displays always had the same effect..::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Shrugging, his good mood instantly returning to him, he smiled warmly and approached the tavern's entrance. Coming in immediately behind Archanan, he glanced about the moderately lit bar. The crowd was small tonight. Small in number, and in size of patrons apparently. He's jade eyes, scanning the room, caught sight of the little girl, and the young baby dragon::

Kawairashii Ryu: [] Ooo you should see him smackin on chicken.. and you thought he was cute before.. ^^ []

Jacen Silvermoon: ::The bar was all but dead excpet for the two mini beings. He smiled, finding this not at all out of place, and even if he would have, he was in too high of spirits tonight to question::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Shaking his head with amusement, it was of no surprise that nothing less than a white wolf would enter the establishment::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::He walked casually over to the bar and took a seat at an empty stool, positioning Joyeux to hang properly at his side. Pivoting in the stool he propped his elbows beind him, on the edge of the counter and looked out over the room, watching the others with a small smile on his lips::

oX Gully Xo: ::she peeked out from under her cloak watching to see if the baby dragon would eat the food she had left him. Her heart went out to him knowing what it was like to be alone and hungry::

Kawairashii Ryu: ::The little dragon crept timidly out from under the table, his hunger completely overcoming the fear by this point. The delicious, tantalizing scent of his favorite food was too much to resist. He padded softly on roughly scaled little feet, down to the sharp dragon claws, across the floor to the plate, the black talons tapping lightly, clacking against the floor as he went. Reaching his destination he fell to closely inspecting the chicken and poking at it with a shifty chubby fingered hand. He frowned.. finding it to be raw.. and huffed softly, deciding that roasting it was his only option.. He was not about to eat it raw.. which disagreed violently with his baby belly.::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Watching the cute little girl in green, he slid off of his stool and walked slowly over to where she peered intently at the baby dragon. A warm smile on his face, he squatted down to more her level and spoke gently to her:: Why hello little girl.

oX Gully Xo: ::her bright grren orbs flew up to meet Jacen's upon hearing his voice. She shrunk back a bit, wishing Cali was here. She eyed him cautiously, in the back of her mind planning out an escape route. She spoke softly:: Hello Mister....

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He looked up and choked, finding himself to be the object of attention of more than one person. He swallowed once, and sighed, shaking his little head and hanging it mournfully down.. he hadn't even began the fireworks yet and they were already staring at him. He stared a high pitched whine.. and trailed off in the middle.. crossing his little arms over his slight chest, and folding the little wings neatly against his back. He took in a mighty (well.. mighty as one so small can manage) breath, through his snout, puffing his chest out and raising his head upright again, arching his neck back a bit. He held it for a second or two, and then released the pent up breath, letting lose a surprisingly wide column of flame and nicely bar-b-q-uing the chicken... and the platter... and the floor... x.x ::

oX Gully Xo: ((hey imma lil girl not a short order cook! ~_~))

Kawairashii Ryu: [] S'ok I wanted him to roast it anyways ^^ []

oX Gully Xo: ((^_^))

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Smiling warmly, easily imagining how frightened the poor girl must have felt, he tried to find something to talk to her about to ease her of any concerns. Gesturing to the dragon he "oooo'd":: Look at that! That cute little dragon's cooking himself some food. Poor thing must be pretty hungry huh?

oX Gully Xo: ::she nodded to the stranger, more relaxed but still not totally at easy with his presence, she smiled a bit. Her eyes fell back to Ryu, and she nodded. Then turning her gaze back to him she again found her voice:: I know how he feels...

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He was horrified by the mess he made, and quickly snatched up his feast with eager claws, and flew quickly back behind the table with his prize. After a few moments his nerves were soothed by the nice smell of roast chicken, and he ceased his whining and whimpering. He cradled the entire chicken in his lap, grinning, before neatly picking off a drumbstick in a fat little hand. He raised it to his mouth and sunk his eager teeth in, tearing off a large hunk of tender white meat, and happily smacking away... yes he smacked while he ate.. more cuteness...but all of that he was oblivious to. All he knew was that his taste buds were in heaven. He closed his eyes and chewed contentedly::

Jacen Silvermoon: ((Heeheehee ::wants to take Ryu home wif him. He's too cuddly cute!))

Kawairashii Ryu: [] Told ya ^^ []

Kawairashii Ryu: [] Even the big badass Darrian couldn't resist the cuteness. Mwahaha []

Jacen Silvermoon: ::He cocked his head slightly and sat down on the floor next to the girl. A curious look in his eye he asked her gently:: What ever do you mean child? You know how he feels... Are you hungry as well?

oX Gully Xo: ::she shook her head, her ponytails swishing as she did:: No...well..not now....but I have been...::she bit her quivering bottom lip remembering:: It's no fun....trust me...::she swung her skinny legs to and fro as she talked to him::

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He began to coo softly, an almost purr, he was so blissfully content. He raised the drumbstick to his mouth once more and tore off another, larger piece, gorging himself almost ravenously, though making efforts to try not to get the chicken all over himself; his whole hand and lap were already covered in chicken grease however... as well as his slivery lips, and his chin. Bits of chicken clung to the sides of his mouth, but he really couldn't care less, for as of now, this moment, the heaven sent meal was all that mattered.::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::his attention still half on the cute lil dragon that he just remembered he had seen before, he looked back to the small girl. Her innocence seemingly being a mask to shadow something much more serious than he had expected from a girl as young as she:: No, I imagine it's not... ::smiling softly, trying to change the subject he held his hand out to her:: My name is Jacen. What's your's?

Kawairashii Ryu: ::Many moments and odd sounds following his little fire spectacle... Ryu emerged, huggling to his belly somewhat with a handful of chicken bones, full to an extreme. A sappy little ridiculous grin was plastered to his baby face, which was also specked with many bits of chicken. He fluttered around peering about for the garbage can, and dumped the pile of bones into it. A satisfying little thunk and he had cleaned up his mess... well, part of it anyways. He stole softly over to the girl who had so generously fed him, children weren't nearly so scary as the bigger people, and so he was not especially scared.::

oX Gully Xo: ::She frowned a bit, fearful of telling him her name, but he seemed very gentle to her, she she smiled a bit, speaking in a quiete voice: Gully...::her eyes grew wide sparkling a brilliant emerald and a huge smile came across her face upon seeing Ryu approach her, she did not make a movement toward him, afraid she would scare him away::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Turning slightly as the baby dragon approached, he smiled, vividly remembering this young little cutie from a few monthes before:: Well, well....did someone get their fill?

Kawairashii Ryu: ::Not prone to rudeness, he blushed some and looked at the ground for a second, before forcing his eyes back up again, and flicking out his blue tongue to her little cheek in gratitude, whispering so softly that it was almost inaudible:: Thank yew.. for da chicken ::He clutched at the tip of his little tail and wrung it a bit in his chubby hand. Trying in all seriousness not to notice the big person so close to her.. He hunched up his little shoulders as he spoke to him, and took a breath, and turned to him ever so slowly, nodding his head seriously:: Ruy ish full..

oX Gully Xo: ::she giggled as he licked her cheek, smiling brightly now , totally engrossed with the baby dragon:: I'm glad you liked it Ryu...it's no fun when your tummy hurts..I know...::she swung her tiny legs back and forth, blushing a tad::

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He nodded again, turning back to the girl, with wide serious eyes.:: I knows too ::He blinked once and sat himself down, the balls of his baby feet, which were surprisingly warm, perching on her knee. He cocked his head to one side, and then to the other, licking off a few bits of chicken from time to time. He rubbed over his little snout with tiny hands quickly, vigorously, to try and rid himself of the chicken bits. He sighed, not having the best of luck though:: Ryu ish dirty... ::He began to blubber::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::He smiled and nodded to both of the youngsters in turn, acknowledging both of their responses. Trying to keep them both occupied away from such depressing talk he quickly rose to his feet and walked to the bar's counter. Leaning over to the other side, he fished about for something for a moment::

Jacen Silvermoon: Ah ha! ::Finally triumphant, he pulled out a large towel and turned back to face the duo, grinning. He returned to their sides once more and held the towel out for the baby Ryu::

oX Gully Xo: ::she smiled as he grew what seemed to her, a bit more comfortable in her presence, running a delicate hand over the scales on Ryu's neck. As the dragon began to blubber her jade ords welled with tears, and she wrapped her arms around his neck:: Please don't be sad! ::her eyes flew to Jacen:: please please help him!

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Nodding he knelt down beside the dragon:: Now...don't squirm.. ::reaching out to gently rub the blubbering dragon's belly and down his neck, and slightly hesitantly..but not too much, around his mouth::

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He sniffled, half quirking up his chicken covered snout losidedly, a cute little snuffing sound accompanying the sniff and his motions. He blinked his teary eyes, watery and more glassy than normal as a result of the sailine drippings, not moving much at all after that... it seemed he could be made of stone, wide eyes locked onto Jacen::

oX Gully Xo: ::she giggled watching Jacen clean up the dragon, thinking suddenly Jacen to be very kind , her eyes then falling back to Ryu, as she ran her tiny hand still ove his neck:: Is that better Ryu? Hmmm?

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Carefully wiping the baby dragon fully clean of the grease and chicken scraps he tossed the towel back onto the bar counter and sat back and looked to the dragon as well:: There you go Ryu....

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He nodded solemnly, eyes still slightly wide, and managed a small though genuine smile, finding himself chicken free and clean again.:: Thank yew ::He whispered lowly, his slight voice slithering up from his scaley throat. He shifted his weight, from one small warm foot to the other, and then balanced it on both again... not weighing much at all, only slightly more than a rather fat cat, so he wasn't going to be much of a discomfort on the girl's knee::

oX Gully Xo: ::she giggled once again wrapping her little arms around him she nuzzled his face with her cheek:: You are cute!

Jacen Silvermoon: ::He stood up, stretching his leg muscles from the strain of kneeling and sitting all that while. Smiling, he watched thw two as they became quite close. Perhaps a hint of a long-lasting friendship was being displayed here?::

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He blushed... an odd spectacle for a silver scaled dragon, but blush he still did, and flicked out that slender sapphire shaded forked tongue to her cheek again.. All babies liked to be held and cuddled.. it let them know they were loved. Ryu blinked a little bit, his eyelids becoming heavy all of a sudden, and he yawned. He felt worlds more comfortable now than he had earlier, and began to be a bit more talkative:: Yesh yesh, babies ish cute and Ryu ish a baby.. t-t-t-t.. ::That last part was the soft clacking of his little jaws together, fang hitting fang, as he yawned again, his jaws slightly quivering::

oX Gully Xo: ::she nodded huggling him in her lap, almost like a big stuffed animal. Not much made Gully happy , but this baby dragon had made a huge smile appear upon her little face that was not likely to be extinguished anytime too soon::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Smiling softly, he slowly began to back away from the two, thinking it was more fitting for the two to share in the moment they were having alone. After taking a few paces backwards, discreetly slipping away, he turned and walked over towards the tavern's entrance and the large windows on either side of the door. Leaning against the wall, he crossed his arms over his chest and gazed outside::

Kawairashii Ryu: ::Little Ryu smacked his mouth, in the all too familiar sleepy gesture, opening it and closing it again and making the most abjectly adorable sounds in the process:: Ryu ish--::He paused there and yawned greatly, even whistling and chortling in a truly lizardly fashion:: ish sweepy.. ::he curled up, settling down in her lap, turning about three times, like a dog, and then becoming still, hiding his head under a soft silver wing::

oX Gully Xo: ::her tiny hand found the clasp of her cloak and unfastened it removing it and covering the baby in her lap, she leaned down placing a kiss on the top of Ryu's shiny head.:: Night night Ryu..sweet dreams....

Kawairashii Ryu: ::He made no reply, as he was sound asleep; typical male, though a baby one, content, and full in combination usually meant he was soon to be getting too sleepy to keep his serpentine, innocent and honest azure eyes open. The long baby lashes brushed against the tiny scales under his eyes, and he began to breath regularly and deeply, a laughably cute whistly baby snore emenating from his snout::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Turning back to watch as the small figure of the girl gently wrapped up the baby dragon and kissed its head. He could not help but think how right the picture looked. Their innocences both so pure and unschathed, as if the harshness of this world had not yet sunk as low as to harm such undeserving angels.::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Watching as the girl, very motherlylike, sat with the baby dragon, he smiled to himself and nodded. Perhaps there was hope for this realm yet...::

Jacen Silvermoon: ::Turning, his spirits never being higher than they were at this moment, he ran a hand casually through his hair and turned, heading out into the cool, crisp morning, the bright sun basking down on him, greeting him. With a smile he walked off into the streets and was gone::
