Lore of the SS Luminous Turtle

A Flight Rising blog chronicling the Lore of some rather unsavory dragons.

[frluminousturtle-blog]

Drawings of my FR dragons Endor, Clorinda, and Tenzen alongside their original FR art. Now you guys actually have faces to go with the names.

Except for Cutler...I’m still working on his art.

status update 2.

note: following incident took place while at nesting area. entry is compiled of eye-witness accounts. accuracy: low.

encountered first hostilities. 3 plague dragons entered main casino. group’s discussion was over current domination war between water and plague flights. poorly worded slurs and incorrect facts directed at The TideLord established loyalties. blasphemers.

side note: it is unknown why plague flight would board an establishment dedicated to The TideLord and water flight. apparent reason: idiocy. evidence necessary: 0%

plagues reportedly approached roulette table. then roulette attendant: endor. plagues continued to insult water flight and appeared to react poorly to endor. quote tenzen:

‘so, I was just up doing my act and I can hear these guys go on and on. ‘conquer’ this. ‘potato lord’ that. i mean, everyone gets worked up during doms and stuff, clory, but these guys had no class at all. and the boss was just sitting there smiling and spinning the wheel like he didn’t have a care in the world. thought for sure he was gonna rip the scales off them, but no. almost chucked the whole show to throw those bums out myself until i realized what was going on.’

tenzen elaborated that plague groups’ distress rose an estimated 40%. amount of groups’ losses: 90%. wins: 10%, and ship reimbursed as cutler coincidentally arrived unnoticed to serve drinks. mate managed to re-acquire 25000 g’s worth of chips and serve 15 individual refills before plagues noticed any anomalies.

tempers rose estimated 25% per s. plagues begin making false accusations of cheating followed by calling water flight a ‘stagnant puddle of beast urine.’ endor complied to show roulette to group. investigation began. plague 1 accidently got head stuck in wheel. plague 2 attempted to look underneath table at same time, activating the imaginary device underneath, mysteriously wedging 40% of body mass inside, and spinning wheel with plague 1’s head still inside. plague 3 successfully avoided cutler and endor’s attempts to help investigation only to get too close to tenzen just when a sack of potatoes appeared over his head. pure accident.

present audience broke into cheers. discount previous statement. number of witnesses of described event: 0%

second side note: learn identities of plague dragons. legally unable to reimburse for injuries. morally must send condolences to families. addresses will be important for future use whenever financial help will be necessary. estimated first visit will be one w at 4:00 am. cutler is overseeing process. consider joining if not temporarily engaged.

hs spent writing: 10. inefficient. still 0 word from endor about assistant. considered children liable canidates. reconsidered: would also work for endor. will discuss future with cutler and hope endor doesn’t know about them.

You wish, Clory. Meet me in my office with Cutty later.

- Endor

Thought I’d treat this Flight Rising blog as an actual Flight Rising blog and finally got around to showing off these babies. These little guys are my first batch of hatch lings since joining last month. I wasn’t even expecting to get this many! I know they’re pretty basic compared to a lot of dragons out there, but I’m proud of them.

I’ve given away the spiral (now named Rosalind) to my sister and am going to keep the red fae (now named Calvin), but am debating what to do with the remaining faes. Maybe I’ll keep them and come up with profiles later. Or give them away. But I dunno yet.

If any one does want one of them, send me a note, and we’ll talk (though I am leaning towards keeping them).

status update 1. employee evaluation 1.

final room furnished at 11:00am. cutler and tenzen are 20 m late bringing supplies for the larder.  continue to question whether they will make effective employees. mysterious forces and volume increase 10% around tenzen. last seen taking scrub brush on hunting expedition. cutler: grating personality. work ethic: 100%. efficiency: 95%. cooperation: 80%. enthusiasm: disturbingly low. will have to keep separate once employee count increases.

endor has already christened ship the luminous turtle. confusion rose 40%. asking incurred yet another stupid smile.  homicidal thoughts up 20%. irrational. will continue mental exercises to decrease blood pressure at 22:00. be patient for now. just be patient.

endor has taken control of directing activity. efficiency has not risen. professional opinion: while endor can make an effective leader he shows no sense of urgency. work ethic: 0%. professionalism: 0%. possibility of being possessed by a shade: very high. will continue to monitor in case of changes in behavior. only positive assessment is that ship was haggled to a third of original cost and offered personal accommodations.

personal opinion: ugh. this guy…

will end for now. carter and tenzen have returned. personal observation: tenzen is now wearing tap shoes. records indicate he had scrub brush. why?

further notes: continue to request assistant. preferably of acceptable size and thumbs. took 2 h just to type. inefficiency: 95%. other notes will be made more detailed once problem is resolved.
