Picking up the pace, Azril and Robin follow Maicyn to the practice field.
As they approach the field, Azril sees a white-skinned woman talking to a woman on a feathery flying serpent. Nearby are a human man, a human woman, a scaly man, two dragons, and a giant winged cat. Most of them seem to be paired up as if to duel. A dark haired man runs by Azril and Maicyn, another dragon at his side. To Maicyn, he says, "What are you doing here?" She scowls at him in place of a reply, and he passes them without another word.
The white-skinned woman catches sight of them now and calls out, "Maicyn, come over here! Let's talk."
Scowling again, Maicyn complies. Before Azril can join her, she holds up her hand. "Not you. Go talk to the others." She points at the group of Riders to their left and continues onward towards the woman.
OOC: So, I'll be out of town from the coming Sunday to the Sunday after, and won't be able to post, as I have said. You can interact with the other players during that time to keep something happening. The human man and sand-colored dragon are Winn the Great, who seems to be inactive right now. The scaly man and pale blue dragon are TheGreatCon. The human woman and flying cat are Neko. The other woman and flying serpent (a Drake) are 22Dynamite. I'll still be able to post tomorrow, to help move things along if need be.
OoC: Got it. Take care, Rule! I hope you have a good trip! ^,^

“Oh my god, Sage, I told you not to stare!” Cadmar whispered loudly at her best friend. The drake uttered a small roar, lifting the base of her wings as if she was shrugging. The white-skinned woman neared her, and Cadmar’s mind drew a blank. She wanted to make a good impression, though she didn’t want her to be spotted that fast. ”Hello, ma’am, just hoping to spy on your training!”. ‘Yes, excellent introduction, Cadmar!’ Sage roared somewhat embarassedly and hid her face in her wings.
The woman watches this, looking unimpressed. She turns to one of the humans, a dark-haired young man. "Take Aretgarlja and go tell your father we have an arrival." The man nods, then motions to the dark blue-scaled creature. The two of them run off.
~~
To Cadmar and Sage, the white-skinned woman says, "I'll be a minute. Talk to the others." She points at the rest of the group, now consisting of the other human man, the human woman, the scaly man, the remaining three creatures, and now the boy and his dog. The girl, Maicyn, reaches them, and the white-skinned woman steps aside to talk to her.
OOC: Okay, here's the deal. I'm going to be gone from this coming Sunday to the one after and I won't be able to post during that time. While I'm gone, you can continue with the RP by interacting with the other RPers. The human man and sandy scaled creature (a dragon) are Winn the Great, who seems to be inactive right now. The scaly man and the pale blue dragon are TheGreatCon. The human woman and the flying cat are Neko. The boy and the dog are LordTigress. I'll still be able to post tomorrow, to help move things along if need be.
"I'm sorry, I meant, hi! I'm Lucresia Cadmar." Cadmar smiles the traditional family Dwarfish smile her aunt had taught her to greet people with. She grinned wide, showing wonky teeth. "I, um, heh, uh, I wish to be a Rider, like you guys. Do I, uh, sign up somewhere?'

OoC: Got it. Have fun on the trip!
OOC: Thanks! I'm going to tag the others to make sure they see this.

OOC: Trying to work my way over to say hi, but both my characters are caught up right now. I'm gonna go ahead and have Finn's duel happen because Winn's inactive, and then he can come over and say hi.
OOC: Since we haven't heard from Winn in a while, I'm going to go ahead and advance the story.
IC: Dernis, Aretgarlja, Basa, Heren, Giddy, Finn, Azar, and Callusthe arrive at Practice Field A, where Zariana is waiting for them. She is a short woman, rather slight of build but muscular, with chalk white skin and red eyes. Her hair has almost as much silver as it does black, and there are fine wrinkles around her eyes and mouth and on her forehead. For all that she does not appear formidable, however, Dernis, Basa, Giddy, and Azar all know that she could take any of them in a fight, even without the use of her Vampyre abilities. "Listen up, Riders!" she shouts, her voice clear and sharp, "We're going to start today with some duels, one-on-one. Dernis, you're with Basa, Giddy, you're with Azar. Aretgarlja, Heren, Finn, the three of you can rotate, Heren and Finn first. Begin!"
Finn and Heren fight a quick duel, with Finn trying to use his icy breath to his advantage, but it only works to knock the other dragon's focus off. He is overpowered due to his lack of fighting expertise, and Heren's agility. Finn has much to learn about the art of fighting.
"Yeah," Azar replies. She shrugs in response to the rest, "I can't say I'm that good myself, having never received proper training." The girl drew her sword, "Do we just practice with our normal weapons then?"
OoC: Sorry for taking so long, Con.
"Sounds good!" Giddy heads for the rack of weapons, though. "I don't think my knives will be any good against your sword, though. No worries, I'll try a blade! Always wanted to swing one of these around!"

OOC: No worries!
"Alright," Azar nods and waits.
OoC: :3
Giddy picks one out and steps up to start the duel. "En garde!"

Finn and Heren separate, Finn nodding his respect to the victor before he ambles off towards the crowd of people waiting their turn to fight. He notices the newcomers (the drake and dwarf) and nods a greeting.

Cadmar gasped, grinning. She poked her elbow to Sage's ribs. "Sage! It's a frost dragon! Oh, it's so beautiful! I think it's a he, Sage!" Sage whispered in a high-pitched tone. Sage's eyes were transfixed on her greeter, and Cadmar laughed at the sight. "Yeah, handsome isn't he?". Cadmar put her hands on her knees, lowering her body to call out to the dragon even though she was only an inch taller than him. "Hi, buddy!"
RuleJJ What should I have Azar do now (since Con's inactive)?
OOC: I think the best thing to do now would be to take a roll call. Once I know who exactly is still here and able to participate, I'll restructure the current events appropriately.
So, Winn has not been on LMBE in over a month and Con is retiring from activity. In light of this, I think we need to reassess what's going on in this RP. Before I do that, though, I want to confirm that all of you are still here and that you want to continue with the RP. As long as I have at least two of you, I think I can keep it going. Just reply to this post with a statement on whether you want to remain active here and I'll post the new situation after you've all done so.

I'm still here, and am determined to stick this out to the end. ^.^

Awesome! Thank you!
I'll give 22Dynamite a couple days, and then we'll get rolling again.
