Mr. Eccentricity
-Blurred_Dreams-
My thoughts exactly. I suppose we could just start running after the dragon, and then it so happens we come across Jak's house where you guys are, and hope that we can keep up with that big of an animal. XD

I like your first and last suggestion best, especially the part about their intelligence. I always liked the more magical, fantastic part about dragons. biggrin

Edit for Blossoms: That sounds great. 3nodding I like the 'some of them have to hide within the good to convince the humans they're not all bad' thing. Which leads way nicely into a good-dragons-versus-bad-dragons battle later if we can get there! n-n

.:: Like a butterfly through a paper shredder...


The noise would be enough to wake Ketill. =)

But yeah, the dragons should definitely be intelligent (Lady in the Water). I don't like the idea of the big dragon controlling them (my least favorite part of the movie, kinda went against the whole befriend-those-that-are-unlike-you).

...so fricken' awesome. ::.


Haha, that's fine. And I'm glad you like it, dreams x)
I was thinking once you actually find Finna, she could be wrestling with a smaller dragon, giving the group the assumption that they're fighting, but then Finna will stop them from attacking or something. But I feel like the trek into the island can take a while if you wish, maybe into the daytime even so on their way the teens can learn more about each other x) I can wait for all of you. If I get too antsy I could always make another character who's kind of a creep and follows all of you into the island xD

Sorry, I've never seen Lady in the Water, so I was seeing the most similarities between the RP and HTTYD. all the emphasis on vikingness and such... sweatdrop

I like the idea of a long trek. While the characters themselves may have grown up together in the village and know things about each other, as their puppet-masters we do not, and it would be a great way to develop our characters within the storyline.
Plus my personal storyline goal for Jak involved much walking through wilderness... ninja
Blossom you're gonna steal my creepy stalker idea? gonk

Baha, I didn't know that you were going to make him be a creepy stalker x3
I can refrain from making another character, though, don't worry about it.

Yay! I only saw Lady in the Water once a few years back, too, so I'm not very fresh on that story. XD

Now that we have a plan, more posting! rofl

Blossom, if you wanted, you could take over Var's older brother. The one that doesn't like her...? Anyway, not sure if you want to control an outright unpleasant character but it's an idea. =)

Also, I support the leaving during the day. We'll need provisions and I want to give Var a chance to get an actual weapon.

I was thinking something similar for Gunnar later. biggrin He does not like dragons, not at all...

One question: if we waited to leave until the next day, how would we ever track Finna?

Maybe they have some idea of where the dragons roost? I don't see how they would see where the dragon is going in the dark, anyway.

Someone (unfraid) follows a dragon to where another dragon is keeping Finna, happily and safely? This could happen over time, and in the meanwhile another character could be used...

Hmm... Just my thoughts:

1) If we were to go later, we could possibly miss our chance to follow Finna - granted, it is night, though I'm sure there's a great big moon and lots of bright stars, but the dragon would also be moving much faster than us, and through open sky, while we would be moving in all probability through forest.

2) While it's true we're not very equipped right now, I figured if we went by Jak's house to get him and Ketill, he may have some weapons that he thinks of more for display purposes, but I'm sure would work all the same. It adds to the spontaneity of the situation.

3) If we wait until another time, we may not get the chance to bypass the adults - they're much busier now than they would be any other time.

4) If we wait, we may just assume Finna has been eaten, since we have no idea the dragons are anything but extremely skilled hunters. Right now we're in the midst of battle, pumped up with adrenaline and not thinking clearly. Later we may not be so gung-ho.

Having some idea where the dragons roost would definitely lead us in the right direction, and would give us time to procure proper weapons. I'm not sure of the answer to my third and fourth points as of now if that were our plan of action.

Another thing to bring up in that case is the fact again of why the dragons are there. Are they the angry gang of dragons, but with some good ones secretly tossed in? If so, and if they roost together, it might not be to our benefit to follow them to their roost. Unless there are just enough good dragons to whisk us out of danger before we're eaten.

While strangely convenient, I'm up for anything as long as I can make sense of and believe it. Just how I am I s'pose. biggrin heart

Well Jak's house is huge, and considering he inherited it from his parents, who were definitely in the dragon slaying business, who knows what all it might contain besides all those books...? smile

This is a very good point. I seriously doubt if our gang were to tell any adult about their plan they would be allowed to proceed. The chase would have to be initiated when the adults are distracted. (By this fight or perhaps cleaning up in the morning?)

What in a RP isn't strangely convenient? biggrin
