Is Lycaella from SailHaven?

Okay, and that's fine! Your two in the morning is my 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I'm on Japan Standard Time, because I'm in Japan temporarily. 

Sorry, by the way, I'm Mina (Ravage).

It's great, thank you! The weather is nice, and it's fun, but I'm still getting over jet lag. XD

I'm going to RP now, because that's what I made this thread for, and I haven't been doing it. I'm having a little trouble coming up with what happens next, but I'll see what I can do.

So excited to have my own thread, and it's on the FIRST PAGE!!!!! XD

Okay, I'm done.

Lycaella~

Mom is gone again. She left early this morning. I was barely awake to say goodbye. I'd almost forgotten what it feels like to sleep in my own actual bed.

I pick up my sketchbook and open it to a fresh page. I'm sitting at the kitchen table with the notebook from the ship, extra pens and pencils, two erasers, and a glass of the sun tea we made yesterday spread around me. I was planning on going to Olde Windswood again, seek out a few special places I found on my last trip there, maybe visit a town and reach out to old friends. A lot has happened lately, though, so I'll stay here for a while and figure out what to do next, and what's safe. I don't think I'll be going to Aslahari anytime soon. I would only end up in the way, or more likely dead. I'm not sure what Nygrune's thinking of doing. He went to the woods to talk to someone in the FAFA today, probably about my mom's work. I'll ask later. Right now, it's time to draw.

I finish just as Nygrune gets back.

"Perfect timing. How'd it go?" I ask.

"Pretty well."

"That's good," I say. "Are you staying for lunch, dinner? Because we have a lot of catching up to do."

"Lycaella, it's only been a month."

"Yep, and a month is a long time, especially with what's happening around here lately. Or, you know, not here here, but where I've been. C'mon, are you going to start, or should I?"

Nygrune sighs, a smile poking at the corner of his mouth. "All right, I'll stay a while. But you go first."

"Okay," I laugh. "So, last time we were here was for my dad's visit..."

~End RP.

I'm so excited! Not only do I have my own thread, but Ronan and Mina/Ravage are posting on it! Well, Ronan hasn't yet, but since he's Nygrune, I expect him to. I have to go now, but I'll continue tomorrow. Bye!

Mexi says puxe. Mexi, are you sick? Because unless you're sick, it's very rude to puke.

And now, the promised continuation. It's going to be like a recap of events, actually... Sorry about that, but this is what happens next.

Lycaella~

"So, the last time we were here was for my dad's visit. That was a month ago. You left after him, but before me."

Nygrune interrupts. "Yes, I know, I was there. What happened after that?"

I give him a brief look. "I was just getting to that. Sorry."

He nods, both of us apologetic and forgiving. I continue.

"So I left, not long after you. I went south first, following the river that leads to Lioncreek Falls. I sort of wandered around the woods for a while, maybe somewhere around a week, not going anywhere specific. There wasn't much that happened, except for one time, I saw a gryphon. It was in a cage in the middle of the woods. I didn't get close, and I didn't stay long, but it was... It was weird. And then later, when I came back, it was gone.

After that, I decided to go to a town, pick up some supplies and see what I could find out about the gryphon. No one seemed to know anything, and I didn't really ask, but I heard about an underwater ball off the east coast. So I decided to go to that, just for a change. Did you hear about the ball?"

Nygrune nods. "I didn't go, but I think I may have heard something. What was it like?"

I sit back in my chair, pausing for a moment. "Well, it was interesting. You won't believe this, but it was land-themed. It wasn't actually that bad, though. There was real gold in the sand, and I heard someone talking about how some of the Powers were going to be there. And there was this ice sculpture that was the centerpiece, it was of a dolphin riding a horse, which looked about as crazy as it sounds, but not in a bad way. But it turned out to have a real dolphin in it."

Nygrune looks shocked. "What?"

I almost laugh. "I know! The way everyone found out was when they realized the punch was spiked--good thing I didn't have any--and people started to react in different ways, like some of them collapsed, fell over, and others kind of went crazy. People started to shout and panic, and then someone set off something that made the big dome around the ball shatter. Those of us who didn't live underwater had to swim up to the surface and build a raft out of wreckage, and we accidentally started going away from land. But we didn't know it at the time, so we had to just try to stay alive and keep going. I met Claaws, sort of--"

Nygrune interrupts me again. "You met Claaws?" I'm not sure if he's upset or excited.

"No, not really, sort of. I mean, I didn't talk to her, but she was there, and she didn't seem all that bad. She didn't hurt anyone, and she even helped us try to get back to land."

"Oh..." Nygrune says, sounding somewhere between relieved and disappointed. When did he get so good at being vague? I can't think of anything else to do, so I keep telling the story.

"We were drifting for almost four days. On the third night, some dragon showed up out of nowhere and it and Claaws battled...and Claaws lost." I pause, unsure if I should be sad or not. Nygrune is wide-eyed, but says nothing. I decide to continue.

"We drifted all night. I don't think anyone was really happy about Claaws. Everyone was pretty quiet. And then the next morning, someone spotted a ship. A B.I.G. ship. We all got really excited, because we knew then that there was some hope. We managed to get on the ship--don't ask how--and by then I was pretty tired of the whole stuck-on-a-raft-with-a-ton-of-others thing, so I kind of disappeared. Not literally, of course, but I went off on my own and found my way to a room with no one in it. And then I think I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found this notebook--" I tap the notebook, which is lying open on the table-- "And so I decided to...'borrow' it. And I did. I hid it in my bag and went to find some water and stuff. A sailor showed me where all the rest of us from the ball were, and not much happened for the rest of the day, or the next day. And then on the second night, I noticed the first page of the notebook, which I told you about, but I didn't have any time to think about it because someone attacked this boy called Ronan, who had kind of been leading the group from the ball. My throat is getting dry, so I'll give you the short version. A huge flock of birds showed up and kidnapped Ronan, Caelani followed them--did I mention? He was there too--the ship crashed on a reef and sank, everyone escaped to land on lifeboats, we set up campand recieved a Morse code message about Aslahari, and you know that part. So we made plans, and then Ronan and Caelani came back missing their shadows, but no one seemed to notice. We all set out for Aslahari, and that's about when I remembered I had to be here, so of course I came as fast as I could. And then I got here, and you were there for the rest."

~End RP. I have to go now, but I will be back soon. Ronan, if you see this, please post! I want to know what Nygrune's been doing and what he thinks of Lycaella's story.

Just me again down here. I was thinking... Does anyone have a soundtrack for when they write? I usually like listening to Minecraft music and podcasts. 

I kind of want to RP, but I want someone else to post first. 

Oh my Kyngdom, it topped! My thread is at the top of the first page!!! That's what topping is, right?

Yeah that's what topping is. I completely understand about the whole you being the only one who posts thing. Especially when something big is happening and the thread is disappearing of the top.
