When Ridelys walked out her door this morning, it was to an uproar. A small gaggle of people gathered in the lobby of the kennels to hear out someone standing on a box to get some attention. Whatever they wanted seemed very funny. A few people were laughing hard enough to need to lean against each other for support. Others were gossiping audibly behind their hands, totally ignoring the stranger. "I'm not crazy, there is a giant mutant monster and I need help killing it!" the stranger jabbed at a hastily inked questing notice on the board, in a very high end parchment. "I will pay you!" More whispering, more laughter. What on earth was going on. Going down the stairs, she tapped someone on the shoulder, and asked. "What is going on here?" The person turned, with a grin on their face. "Archmage's lackey needs help, but nobody's stepping up to the plate. To help kill something giant and mutant apparently. But some people believe its just him jumping at shadows." At her puzzlement, they continued. "This guy's jumpier t hen a caffinated shiku." 1 12.20

As she watched, the 'lackey' for lack of a better term tried again and again to talk someone into coming forth to be brave enough to fight a mutated monster. The crowd split apart into ignoring, or laughing too hard to listen straight. She could see tears running down his humanoid face. A spritz of anger crossed her features. Then an idea crossed her mind. No sooner had she let the proper ones know, that a crash came from up above, and a sarane cantered (yes, cantered) at speed towards the crowd, eyes alight and carrying something in his jaws. People SCREAMED, scattering like pigeons. Sarane sarane! they cry, fleeing for their lives. The sarane in question skidded to a halt nearby, glancing about. A rubber... what the heck was that, a headless rubber haddock, in his maw. Blinking in mock confusion, the drake dropped his prize before the now petrified man. Ridelys chose that moment to make her appearance before anyone could spread rumor of a wild drake. For there was a blue ribbon wrapped around the drake's wingjoint, and some gold undertones to those stripes. She patted his side when getting close enough. "Nidra quor." she complimented. 2 13.20

Her response to this came in a jumble of humorous feelings and bursts of replays of humans scattering. Mild confusion of why they were running from him of all creatures. He wasn't that big! When his head turned towards the man, his knees gave out, sinking to the ground. "Eat me. Go ahead, the lady archmage will do much the same when she finds out what I've done." he claimed, practically presenting himself for the consumption. He could feel hot breath on his neck, something sniffing him, waiting. "Nae." a single sharp remark beside and above. A long sighing hot exhale over his head and the creature's footfalls backed... up? The lackey looked up. Not eaten? "He only eats fish." Eyes hovered between the tiger striped sarane, and the redhead ersatz brushing her hand easily over his neck. He wasn't doing the purring cat thing like he'd seen with the other understudy and practically anything touched, but those eyes weren't leaving him. "f...fish. Right." the man dropped his head again. "I meet one drake in this damned city and its a pescatarian." Confusion. What was he saying. What is a - word? 3 14.20

"Break it up you idiots; the drake's owned." the passerby from above snarled as they left the kennel, seeing several people practically hanging over each other to see if the guy got eaten or not. "Owned and fish only." Several groans, and the crowd dispursed. Would someone have even tried to report that? Not with that sort of way.
It took a few minutes before the man finally looked up at his ersatz savior?. Feeding a raw fish to her drake as if it were a normal day. Talking to him as if he knew what she was saying, but with a growl and hiss undertone. He had to squint, and adjust goofy glasses; oh there it was, those rings of animal tongues. Pricy little artifact. "Will you hear me out, before my lady archmage finds me and makes me deal with the monster personally?" both sets of eyes land on him. It was like being watched by two predator animals. Swallowing, the lackey sighed. "I was doing my usual cleanout of the dungeons and our latest... experiement got loose. Its enormous and I can't get it to listen and I don't know what to do and it needs to be taken care of!" 4 15.20

"Can you describe your monster?" she asked. There was an accent to her voice, but she appeared fluent enough in Common. "What does it look like" "Size of a man, easily. WIngs, Claws, long ears, big boundy limbs. Damn thing can jump twice my height in the right area. And it talks. Splattered in lightning marks." Blank stare as she put the images together. And her imagined idea... was out of this world outrageous. "I can't get the stupid thing to listen! Then it has to go and swallow one of the lady's stored nodes of magic and has lost its mind, whatever it has already, and I am so dead." Dune's question feeling got stronger as she decorated the link with what the man said. Just because she understood didn't mean he did. What he got was odd too. One eye ridge raised up, an arch in his muzzle too. What the hell. "So will you please, tamer of wild sarane, heed my request and go kill a monster." If only he knew; this guy wasn't wild at all. "Take your sarane and let him feed on it." {is it fish?} 5 16.20 (61/50) Dune

At the first hint of 'yes', the man grabbed her hand, and shook it vigorously, thanking up and down. Jumping up and tearing out of the kennel at mach speed for a human, back to the tower. Both sarane and theron had to dash after him. He was fast for such a coward. "So go down those stairs, and you'll find the dungeons. you'll hear it coming before you see it more likely. NOisiest experiment I've ever had to work on." The space wasn't exactly built for sarane, but Dune had about a head shorter on him then typical drakes. His horns were scraping the ceiling tho. thankfully for both this guy and for herself, she'd taken care of the initial unease of enclosed spaces, in order to try and train the drake for goign into the mines with her. His head craned around them both, sniffing the air. He's smelled this sort of thing before; and it had the other scent of what she had called 'sky fire.' Of burning hair. 6 17.20

"And...I'll just wait up here shall I. Oh. Answers to Cosmo." Right. Already questioning this guy's sanity more then once after agreeing to this job, Ridelys sighed, and proceeded down after Dune-Eye. He could follow his nose to find said Cosmo. Thankfully once she reached the bottom of the stairs, the place seemed relatively straight forward. How much dungeon could be under a mage's tower anyhow. They could hear it though. thumping. In rhythm. Thump thump BOMP. Thump thump bomp. Or was it somehting deeper. And was that music? 'Quietly' she hissed as she drew a blade from her back. The inky stone blade glinted in the darkness. a soft noise, the drake wasn't impressed. He could smell whatever was ahead. Smell it from a mile away, as he'd smelled this, or both smells, before. {I hear noises. Talking} he hissed through the link. Confused. "we will we will zap you." 7 18.20

From what she could hear, the thing ahead had at least basic Common skills. Creeping ahead just so slightly, it was making enough noise that there was no need to really go hunting it, for all Ridelys knew. But as they both got close enough to see what they were up against... It was an orbaru. For all intents and purposes, and orbaru of all things. Taller then either of them, the enormous rabbit tapped his giant feet to the scratchy tune of an old grammophone, playing a vinyl record. Two foot taps and then smacking paws together, making a slight zap noise. Humming audibly to itself. Since they were coming from behind, she could see his inky fur accented with blue markings, and tiny blue wingsies on his back. But he didn't look to be a male, as there was no tail orb. BUDDY YOU'RE A MALE BOY, MAKE A BIG NOISE YOU'RE GONNA BE A BIG MALE SOMEDAY the orbaru sang out in a loud belting tune. YOU GOT MUD ON YOUR FACE, YOU BIG DISCGRACE KICKING YOUR CAN ALL OVER THE PLACE, SINGIN' WE WILL WE WILL ZAP YOU 8 19.20

Ridelys' eyebrows disappeared into her fringe bangs with no time to spare. All thought processing blanked out briefly. What the hell were they witnessing. For Dune, he just watched the creature make very human sounds and be loud about it. The drake crouched his limbs slightly, ducking his head down to watch, almost ready to stalk the thing. Which in his mind he believed perfectly able to capture. The orbaru belted out the last lyric twice more, tapping one foot twice then slamming their tail into something. No wonder the lackey seemed so out of sorts on this.
WE WILL WE WILL ZAP YOU.
WE WILL WE WILL ZAP YOU.
Just goes to show folks; dont' leave your magic nodes in reach of any of your creatures. Too preoccupied with their singing, the orbaru either didn't hear them over the non-Pethian rock music, or didn't much care. After all, this was THERE SONG. 9 20.20 lv 263

The song echoed down the hallways; even if just in spirit. What did it mean? What even WAS life? Why?

Well there went the idea of what not. She should've guessed this sort of insanity when he mentioned long ears. Very few creatures in the city had long ears; orbaru were considered the house rabbit; she'd seen rabbits. This one was taller then she was. about as crazy too, as a human. Who listened to this sort of ear-destroying music? Azarah had their own choices of music, depending on the area. Tribal stuff, you know. Unfamiliar with this loud and shouting music, she stood there in a mild sort of daze. Until a finned tail tapped her, not so gently, from behind. She jumped. 'What?!' she asked the drake loudly. He glanced sideways at her, nodding his snout in the direction of the creature. It had moved onto the next verse of the song.
BUDDY YOU'RE A YOUNG MALE, HARD MALE SHOUTING IN THE DUNGEON, GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD SOMEDAY YOU GOT BLOOD ON YOUR FACE, YOU BIG DISCGRACE WAVING YOUR BANNER ALL OVER THE PLACE
WE WILL WE WILL ZAP YOU
SING IT!
WE WILL WE WILL ZAP YOU
YEAH!

'I have an idea' she finally managed to get her head back in the game. An open feeling of listening came from her quiet companion. 'You've got some sort of staticky feeling going on when I touch you on dry days, Can you go stand near that loud object? Glancing at her, the drake grumbled something about it being loud for his tastes. He was leaving her alone. 'I'm perfectly capable.' she tapped the blade's flat against her hip, fingers curling around the sculpted dragon that made the hilt. An obsidian inlaid fang. Obsidian by itself was very brittle, but when added to other things, added a great deal of reinforcement. Who didn't want an obsidianified blade after all. A huff, Dune didn't like this idea very much. Heck he wasn't that much taller then her, and that creature WAS taller then she was! The creature stomped around to each line of the zap you song. Had to admit, it was slightly catchy. 11 2.20

From the grumbling stories of stupidity the theron had gotten herself into from the older brown Caiman, Dune didn't quite believe her on being 'perfectly capable'. That, and a vague {If she gets hurt, its your hide} hanging over his head. The desert tiger exhaled heavily through his nostrils. Sneaking was easy. Go around on your belly. How to sneak up on the canyon fowl. Not exactly easy to sneak when you're bigger though. He crouched down on all fours, shuffling forward awkwardly. He could hear the giant rabbit stomping around, singing the next verse.
BUDDY YOU'RE AN OLD MALE, POOR MALE PLEADING WITH YOUR EYES, GONNA GET YOU SOME PEACE SOMEDAY YOU GOT MUD ON YOUR FACE, YOU BIG DISCGRACE SOMEBODY BETTER PUT YOU BACK IN YOUR PLACE! DO IT!
and then some sort of horribly grating guitar solo. Not that anyone down here KNEW what a guitar even was. 12 3.20

Besides a growing headache; Ridelys tried to block out the noise the giant rabbit appeared to be trying to make. From her place near the door, she could see the tiny tips of the drake's horns as he crawled along behind the orbaru's area. Thankfully for both of them, the orbaru seemed more settled on finishing its song vs doing anything of smelling intruders or what not. Orbaru were supposed to be about as dumb as rocks, right? Then what about one that spoke?
We will, we will rock you, yeah, yeah, come on We will, we will rock you, alright, LOUDER! We will, we will rock you, one more time We will, we will rock you YEAH!
He finished his song off with smacking his tail into the nearest table structure. To both their surprise, he gives a yelp of pain, grabbing his tail and stroking the stricken area, whimpering. Before they both hear (but one understands) a feminine voice loudly telling the creature off.
