[Action, 5/7] Arrival
May. 7th, 2013 04:52 pmKitten barely has time to register the lack of solid stone beneath her feet, the quiet click of claws against each other whereas they had been gouging rock just the instant before.
No. Instead what she notices is water, taking a quick gulp of air on instinct just as her snout vanishes beneath the surface. Kitten has made her grand entrance into Luceti by falling into the river, a short distance away from a bridge.
If anyone is waiting to see a dragon swim, they will be waiting a long time. Kitten sinks like a stone and scrabbles for footing against the mud of the riverbed. Very confused, Kitten nonetheless analyzes the current well enough to guess the direction of the banks. She walks toward one side of the river, on the river bottom and hidden beneath the water's surface. The dragon stops to untangle herself from water weeds or river muck as needed. It will be a little while before she makes it back out, and she will not be the happiest of dragon kits when she does.
Once she has finally extricated herself from the river, with or without help, and found her journal, Kitten spends quite awhile investigating the book, but she does not make any entries. She looks for information, studies the most recent entries, finally stumbling over the guide. That's useful. Pardon her while she settles down on the bridge to read it in its entirety. Many of you may never have seen a dragon read before, but that is about to change.
After finishing with the guide, Kitten wanders through the village. She passes by all of the businesses and public buildings, if they can be called such in a place with neither currency nor local government. The dragon stops to note with particular interest the location of the library. She will not enter it without encouragement, because her real destination is the grocery store. Being a dragon, Kitten entirely bypasses the usual first stop at the clothing or item shops. What would she wear anyway?
