Violet says if I want to work with defense I have to play nice. If Sgaeyl were here, I wouldn't even need a team but She might have a point. (Don't let it go to your head, Violence.)

My name's Xaden Riorson. I'm a dragonrider. If you see a blue daggertail show up, just drop your eyes, bow your head, and stay out of her way. For your safety and hers. I hear you guys have dragons who talk to people besides their riders, but mine doesn't. She isn't even talking to me right now, but that's


Sorry, it's been a rough week so my social skills are not great right now. But I'll watch out for you all in a fight. You can count on me for that.

Seriously?! Fitz is gone. Just like that?? No goodbye, see you later, or whatever? Just poof and gone!!

Fuck this.

Hey out there, Network People. I heard I should introduce myself here. I'm Liam, I've been here about a week, and I haven't posted because - technology, that's new. But I think I've got the hang of it now, and Violet says you guys like pictures of cool things, so here's one.



I don't usually get to paint them, but you guys have craft stores that are pretty awesome. I spent almost all of my DOA stipend there, so that probably means it's time I get a job. Who's got good work recommendations for a dragon-less dragon rider?

Well, a week has passed and I have no memory of it, so... I'm assuming people went somewhere again?

Is everyone okay?

Filter: Leon The Roommate, Kate, Carol, Kamala, Violet The One With Dragons, Daud and Syd

Good afternoon. You're on the list of invites for a small get-together that Kate wants because she doesn't want to make a big deal about it (honestly, I don't blame her, I'm always like that on my birthdays too). I'm pretty sure I'd be missing people because I don't keep track of everyone she knows.

I mean, I could but then she'd tell me I'm being the scary ass spy Yelena again so.

Anyway, this Friday evening, 7PM at our house. There's at least two kids here, so we won't get too rowdy. Before you invite anyone, make sure to ask Kate first if it's okay.

Oi. Who's got my magic? This sort of thing is considered very taboo where I come from, although I appreciate it's another amusing Vallo quirk, it doesn't mean I have to like it.

I find myself this morning with a rather large hole in my kitchen wall. I'm so, so sorry, Sutton, I will make it up to you

Has anyone else woken this morning to find themselves with [...] stranger than usual powers?

HEY, VALLOITES, HEY. GUESS WHAT. I MADE A DRAGON FRIEND!

She was fighting a bunch of large ants (because WHY NOT, VALLO, WHY NOT) when Carol and I came across her so we stopped to help. She reminds me of a starling bird. Anyone happen to know her?

[attached photo of the dragon with Kamala's cheesy grin with a peace sign]

Despite the giant ants -- thanks a whole lot, Vallo -- I think I call this a great day just for meeting a dragon.



That's not the dragon. That's me dancing for meeting a dragon.

Global message, not at all directed at Hawkeye:

Today I have been asked for a space-hook, winter air for the landing vehicle tires, headlight fluid, and keys to the drop zone. I need you to limit your tormenting of junior enlisted to one prank per day. Some of us have work to do around here.

listen up humies. there's apples in the mess hall today and I'm gonna need every one of you to give me yours. you'll be donating to a GOOD CAUSE if you catch my drift.

oh and groot says he'll trade for cheese balls. he's got like three ship credits to his name though I'm just saying.

Smiley day, folks! It was sure nice to see you all at the speed dating--there's something magical to me about you soul touched finding connections with each other. That's what makes this flat disc of a planet meaningful!

In between all of that gazing into each other's optic orbs, did anyone happy to notice that creature outside? Kinda looked like the one that came right before the big portal opened up?

Ashton

Smiley day, Ashton, I was just wondering if you were around? I haven't seen you today yet and maybe you're still entertaining a new friend--don't let me interrupt you if that's the case, good for you, stay hydrated is all!

But...if you were done...and hadn't come home yet?

So introduction 2.0? I'm Violet, I missed most of you arriving because I got here when everyone was gone, I guess? I added to the black dragon population since Tairn arrived a few days after I did, you might've seen him if you were at the battle, or at our first training session with our new Defense team.

I've noticed our world has a lot of different rules for dragons, so I figured I should go over them. Mostly so it's not awkward, again, when I speak for him? I promise I don't forbid him from talking or anything, it's just that our dragons only speak to their riders and other dragons. So if he's not talking to you, it's not personal, it's just you aren't worthy no that's rude his person.

Second is that, technically, it's considered rude to them for someone to talk directly to a dragon that isn't your own? But Tairn promised he'll be open-minded and he's not going to eat any allies who do. He just may not be in the mood to answer.

And this isn't really a rule but he has a mate back home that isn't here, so Tairn is crankier than usual. I can't blame him, it sucks, and actually physically hurts him to be away from her for long. He won't hurt anyone on purpose unless they threaten me or him, though.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I probably can't answer everything because dragons keep a lot of secrets, but this place even being weird and chaotic is a lot more calm than home and no one's even tried to murder me once.

So it's mostly one big fucking blur but I got the gist Market's just straight up free this week. Come get what you want or message me to get it delivered.

[FILTERED TO GANGSEY]

We need to talk about all the best ways to shut me down fast. Gansey, you remember everything over there, right? You can tell them what worked and what didn't? Adam knows all my weak spots. The wonky knee, shit like that. Matthew, for fuck's sake could you just promise me you'll really think about leaving me in the dust instead of sticking around to suffer? I'd appreciate it.

And hey. Fuck I love you guys. Sorry I get fucking awful when I'm alone.

[Post and replies are done via voice-to-text]

[Sounds of confusion in the background]

Hey, Kara? Rocket? Anyone? You know those portal things that someone - who was it? Octavia, I think? - posted about just a while ago? What do they look like? 'Cause I think I found some.

[more unsettling background noises]

Oh shit!

[Rowen can be heard summoning his armor] Armor of Strata! Dao Inogi!

[Muffled noises before Rowen comes back]

I can try to keep'em here, but I could use some help!

Uh so is it always like this around here? Chaotic but quiet all at once?

I'm Violet. They told me I wasn't being held hostage and the mender dropped me off at the place where they gave me money? But I'd rather find my dragons. So if you see a giant black dragon followed around by a smaller black dragon, let me know? Neither of them are very good at being well-behaved if they think I'm in danger.
