Okay i'm thinking about doing a LBT Role-Play but need others to join and hope people do so first thing's first things first we need to sort out Characters I'm going to be Littlefoot :) now who is going to be who?
Also we could just start it now and pick things up as we go along, tell me which one works better for you's
-
Do you have a plot in mind? Or do you plan on it being a rp thread where folks can make up stuff including short or medium plots. Or a day in the life in the Great Valley sort of thing?
Also some find it more helpful to list characters and who is playing them. Up to you if you wish to do this or not. An example is like:
Littlefoot - Spyro
Cera -
Ducky -
& so on.
-
Aren't all of the adventures huge? :lol
Seriously. It's great that you want to start an RP! I'll join it, if you wish. I'd like to be in it.
-

-
I would like to play Topsy (Cera's dad) and/or Littlefoot's Grandfather.

I would like to play Topsy (Cera's dad) and/or Littlefoot's Grandfather.
Make it fair and one Character per person so which one would you prefer?
-
Topsy then. Unless you can get one person for each and every character, you are probably going to want to let some people play more than one... otherwise, you might not have enough players to fill all of the positions. Just a suggestion.

Acutually that's a good suggestion you can be Littlefoot's Grandpa too :)
Littlefoot - Spyro
Topsy - noname
Littlefoot's Grandpa - noname
-
lol. Thanks.
I thought it would work. That's the way most of these operate anyway. I'll take both, then.
-
So is it 1 char each, multiple each, or 1 kid char and 1 adult, or what when it comes to Feature Characters?
and how about original characters, or are they not allowed?

MUltiple each and oringal aloud
-
I may do my Original Character (oc) Mim maybe, & I may do Cera, if no one else has an interest. Maybe 1 other oc also, not sure which of my others I may do.
-
I might bring in an OC or two if that is alright with you... some characters from another LBT adventure here on the GoF... in an RP that is... less than active at the moment.
-
My LBT Oc's are strict pure lbt, no magic or any other such sillyness.
-
I've got no magic for the LBT RPs either... not this one, at least.
-
That's great I just want pure LBT characters only
-
I think i"ll do Cera and my LBT Oc of Mim. I may do other lbt oc's of mine, but I'll decide later.
-
Would a new pair of Tyrannosauruses count as "pure" LBT characters for you? I'll respect your wishes either way, don't worry...
-
Would they live in the Great Valley, or be outside it like my friendly mainly fish eating fastbiter Deon? Just curios.
-
Me? My OCs would be living around the valley most of the time, but they would occasionally raid it for food.
-
I see, not friendly with flat teeth like Deon's herd is then. Likely living in different parts of the area bordering the Great Valley.
-
Isn't this thread supposed to go into the discussion page?
-
If the admin see a need they'll move it.
-
Guys I am filling ready to begin this Rp are you's ready if so then let's start anyone else wan't s to join it they can just ask and you know the drill.
-
I'm ready for it! :)
-
I'm ready for it! :)
Okay cool now I will just wait to see if Kor is ready then we can begin :)
-
I'm ready. Is there a list of who's playing who, in case others are interested in the rp and wonder that?
-

Yeah I posted it on Page 1
-
Ok. I'll do Cera, and maybe 1 or more of my oc's, depending.

Could you post a link telling us where the RP is?
-

Well here is the Character List
Littlefoot - Spyro
Topsy - noname
Littlefoot's Grandpa - noname
Cera - Kor
-
Could I join with my character Rigo?
-
Could I join with my character Rigo?
Sure tell me who Rigo is first
-
I posted him to the character list already, but heres the information of him
Real name: Rigo
Calling name: Scarred (He has a scar on left eye and many mental scars)
Gender: Male
Age: Same as Littlefoot
Species: Longneck
Height: Little taller than Littlefoot
Color: Like littlefoots but slightly darker
Personality: Rigo doesn't really talk to anyone and feels like an outsider in the Great Valley.
He lives in a cave in the far corner of the Great Valley where nobody usually comes. His silence
is the work those who he asked to be his friends rejecting and laughing at him.
He walks usually in there Great Valley usually only at the night, so he would not see other dinosaurs.
Background: Rigo was the last hope of his heard as only ones remaining from his heard were his parents. His parents died when a sharptooth attacked them on their journey to the Great Valley.
Rigo continued to the Great Valley. In the he got into a fight with a spiketail. In that fight he damaged and got a scar to his left eye. He fleed from the fight and ran to the corner of the Great Valley, found a cave and has lived there ever since.
-
Let's Start!
-
Okay guys i'll start off
It was early in the morning in the Great Valley and nearly everyone was asleep excpet for Littlefoot he could not sleep so because he could not go back to sleep he thought he might aswell have a little walk just to relive his boredom.
-
Rigo was walking to his cave to go to sleep after being up all night. He was pretty sleepy and walked past Littlefoot, bumping him a little without noticing it. He continued his walking till he reached to his cave. He went inside and fell asleep.
-
Littlefoot didn't worry about the bump and he continued taking a walk.
-
Rigo waked up feeling thirsty. He standed up and walked to the water place. He noticed that the great circle started to rise to the sky. "I'll take just a fast drink and the go back to my cave before anyone comes and sees me. They just say bad thing about me again..." He took a drink and started to walk to his cave. He saw many of the valleys dinosaurs waked up "Mom, dad i wish you would be here." Rigo said and a tear falled from his eye. Rigo walked inside his cave and fell asleep again.
-
Cera was up and eating a bit of breakfast with her family before heading off to see what the others were doing today and what their plans were.
-
Littlefoot got a bit hungry on his walk so he decided to go back to his Grandma and Grandpa so they would know he was safe at least. So he ran all the way back to them and saw his Grandpa up first
"Hey Grandpa!" Said Littlefoot puffing
-
"Hello, Littlefoot" came the friendly response from the elderly Longneck. "How are you doing?"
Meanwhile...
Topsy was eating plants with his mate and children. Cera had asked him what his plans were. "Well, Cera, I am meeting with the other threehorns today. We have to talk about... grown-up stuff. Tria will be watching Tricia, and you can do what you want, more or less. Just stay in the valley, alright?"
-
"I'm okay Grandpa i'm just a bit hungry that's all" Replied Littlefoot
-
"I'll get you some leaves, then, Littlefoot" his grandfather replied, pulling down some leaves from the nearby tree.
-
Littlefoot ran over to the leaves and ate them slowly
-
Meanwhile...
Topsy and Tria went over to the watering hole. His mate had brought Tricia. After seeing that mother and child were safe and secure, Topsy left to go to the meeting. Tria could have attended as well, but with a hatchling to watch, she decided to sit this one out.
-
Littlefoot finshed eating his food and smiled "Thanks for the food Grandpa" He smiled
-
"Anytime, Littlefoot!" he replied. "Now, why don't you go out and find the rest of your little group? I've got some grown-up business to attend to. Grandma will be there too, but if you need either of us, you can find us in the rock circle."
-
Once she had seen the others of her family left and her father had said she could go to be with her friends.
"Ok Daddy, thanks." She said. She left about the same time the family left to go & do their separate things. She decided to head towards where Littlefoot & his grandparents slept first, as she she often did, unless one or more of her friends came for her first.
-
"Okay Grandpa" Siad Littlefoot and with that he ran off and when he was running he bumped into Cera
"Sorry Cera" Littlefoot said
-
"It's ok. Just watch where you're going next time." Cera said, pausing a bit before going on, "How are you? Any plans yet?"
-
"I' fine yourself? And no I don't have any plans as of yet" Repiled Littlefoot
-
"Let's go and find the others and see what we can do together." Cera said.
-
"Okay!" Said Littlefoot and so he followed Cera
-
Meanwhile, Topsy crossed paths with Littlefoot and Cera.
"Hey kids! Watch where you're going. I don't want you wandering off into the mysterious beyond... again." the gruff triceratops told the kids.
-
"But were not trying to go the the Mysterious Beyond"
Rpelied Littlefoot
-
"Well, you kids end up going there... a LOT. We keep telling you not to, but you keep going anyway. Now, I've got to go. Be careful, Cera." Topsy replied.
-
"Ok daddy, we'll stay in the Great Valley. Who wants to go into the dumb ol mysterious beyond anyway." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot couldn't help but laugh at what Cera just said then he stopped laughing and smiled and waited to see what Cera would do next.
-
Rigo was seeing a sleepstory where he walked in the valley and the other dinosaurs were friendly to him. He walked to one of the higher rocks and saw something flying towards the great valley. First he didn't recognize what it was, but when it came closer he saw that it was a flying rock. A huge flying rock and it came closer fast. He runned down but then he awaked screeming. "Oh, it was only a bad sleepstory." Rigo tried to get back to sleep but couldn't. "Maybe a walk would help." He said and raised up. He left his cave and started to walk to the rock circle.
(OOC: I don't really know if the dream Rigo had is strict LBT. You will be the judge of that. I can change it if you want. By the way could we make it so the gang doesn't really know Rigo. Maybe they have seen him sometimes in the valley but haven't really met.)
-
"So, what do you guys want to do today?" Cera asked.
-
"You wanna get a drink?" Asked Littlefoot.
-
I think we should just continue since the other person isin't coming
-
"Yea I guess." Cera said. Then in a bit more cheery mood, for Cera anyway, "It is better then us standing around staring at each other.
-
And so both Littlefoot and Cera went to get a drink
-
Topsy was over at the same drinking pool. He his daughter and Littlefoot and his daughter. "Well kids, nice to see that you are still in the valley. You should listen to me more often..."
-
"Mr three horn why are you so jump that we are going to go into the Mysterious Beyond?" Littlefoot asked
-
Cera: "Who wants to go where there are dumb ol sharpteeth anyway. I don't see why the farwalkers don't find a place to settle down." j
-
"Yeah" Aggreed Littlefoot
-
"Well, kids, you have certainly gone into the mysterious beyond a large number of times... at least 20 times by my last count." Topsy replied. "I don't know what the attraction of such a dangerous place is to you."
-
"Have you ever considered that we might go there because we have to get somthing or help someone Mr Three Horn?" Littlefoot asked
-
"If you need someone to go help, get me or another adult to do it" Topsy replied. "You kids shouldn't take such risks!
-
"Yes Mr three horn" Said Littlefoot
-
"The meeting went well, and now, it is over. Tricia is being watched by Ms. Maia for the moment, so if you want to see your sister, you know where to look, Cera. Now, Tria is waiting for me, so I'd better get going. Stay OUT of trouble kids... and that means stay IN the valley." Topsy told them, then turned to go to his mate.
-
"Stay in the valley & out of trouble? I wonder how long that'll happen. I bet even if we stay in the valley trouble will still find us." Cera said with some annoyance.
-
OOC: Ive been busy guys
"Hey you making it sound like it's a bad thing" Littlefoot said
-
"If we're going to have an adventure let's go and find it so we can get it over with." Cera said. "Then we can get back to doing something fun."
-
"Where shall we go?" Littlefoot asked
-
"We can play in some shallow water, or in some grass. Just no where near the Sinking Sand. I remember how mad out folks got the last time we went there." Cera said, remembering an incident from shortly around the time the 2 egg eaters came to the Great Valley.
-
Littlefoot rembered it too and smiled
"Okay would you like to play in the shallow water?" he asked
-
"That sounds like it may be fun, but what sort of game. Hopefully not that silly log running thing." Cera said, remembering what happened last time she tried to play that. Since then she just watched.
-
"That sounds like it may be fun, but what sort of game. Hopefully not that silly log running thing." Cera said, remembering what happened last time she tried to play that. Since then she just watched.
"Yeah I know how you fill but don't worry we won't play that" Littlefoot said
-
"What else do you want to play then?" Cera asked.
-
"Hmmm maybe we should go get hte others" Littlegoot suggested
-
Cera nodded, "Yea, it'll be more fun with the others then just the 2 of us." Cera said, "Who should we go and get first?" She asked.
-
"How about Petrie?" Littlefoot asked
-
Meanwhile...
Bron and his herd were coming to visit the valley. He had mentioned his herd to Littlefoot before, but he had never shown the herd to his son before. Now, being only a few hours away from the entrance to the valley, he was ready to show his son.
-
So Littlefoot and Cera ran over to where Petrie was and they saw that he was sleeping
-
"That Petrie, I swear he could sleep through an earth shake." Cera said.
-
"Should we let him sleep or should we wake him?" Asked Littlefoot.
-
"We could always wake him up and as if he'd rather sleep or have fun with us." Cera said.
-
"Okay you should wake him then" Littlefoot said
-
Meanwhile...
Bron's herd entered the valley. A flyer overhead looked down upon it. All of the longnecks were big, but one in the front was HUGE. This was Bron. He was far larger than any other member of his herd... and upon closer inspection, and of the other adults in his herd were female!
-
Cera looked around for a rock she could hit up there or a tree sweet. She saw some pebbles and started to move them a bit so she could hit one up to where Petrie was.
-
Littlefoot did not notice Cera doing that however as he was day dreaming a little
-
Cera continued, trying to get a rock to hit Petrie to wake him up. She thought about if a treesweet hit up there would wake up Petrie any better.
-
Petrie remains asleep
-
Bron's herd entered the valley. In the distance, he saw his son playing with his friends. After telling his herd to stay put for a few minutes, he went out to find Littlefoot...
-
"Maybe this would be easier to get Ducky first since she has hands." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot smiled at Cera
"Are you sure you don't want to give it another go?" He asks
-
Bron approached the children. A moment later, Littlefoot recognized him.
-
"maybe a few more." Cera said, using her tail to try to whack a small rock up to where Petrie was sleeping, to focused on what she was doing to at first see someone was approaching them.
-
When Littlefoot saw Bron at first he didn't know who it was so he just smiled at them and turned back to Cera
-
"Littlefoot!" Bron said. "Dad's here!"
He didn't realize why his son didn't recognize him. Then again, his kind all kinda looked alike... at least, those of the same skin color.
-
Littlefoot then reliased who it was and run fastly over to Bron
"Dad! your back! But why are you back?" Littlefoot asked
-
Cera looked at Littlefoot, "You ever think maybe he came to visit you?" She said in a very mild sarcastic tone. "I doubt he came all the way for the treestars." Se looked up at Bron, "Nice to see you again." She said.
-
"Dad did you come back to see me?" Littlefoot asked
-
(OOC: Since when did Cera call ANYONE "sir"? :lol )
"Well, I didn't come back here for the treestars, now did I?" Bron replied.
"I'm here to introduce you to my herd. I told them I had a son in the Great Valley. They'll all be pleased to meet you."
-
"Well can they meet my friends too?" Asked Littlefoot
-
"Sure! Bring all of them! I'm certain my herd will be happy to meet them all!" Bron told his son.
-
"Dad do you think you could stay here for a long time or so?" Littlefoot asked tearing up
-
"I can stay with my herd here for at least a few weeks" Bron replied. "Come on, I'll show you to them."
A few minutes later, they arrived at the place where Bron's herd had been resting. Littlefoot noticed that all of the adults except his father were... female.
-
"This is the second most most longnecks I've seen in 1 place." Cera said. "Why don't you run over and say hi Littlefoot."
-
"Dad why is all your herd females?" Asked Littlefoot
-
"Well... not all are. There are some boys and younger males too... like Shorty! Where IS he anyway? I'm sure he'll turn up later." Bron knew he would have to explain it to Littlefoot soon...
"Well... Littlefoot... hmm... how to explain this? Do you know what a dominant male is? It's more than a herd leader... more than an alpha male, even."
-
"So what are you trying to say?" Asked Littlefoot
-
"Well, as the dominant male, I drive out other males when they are old enough to... give eggs to the females" Bron told his son. "I don't let anyone else touch the females... only I get to mate with them. All of their children are mine. I should know; I mate several times a day. You're not my only child, Littlefoot, but you are my eldest, and heir to my position. One day, all I have will be yours."
-
"So does that mean that I will have to leave my friends behind?" Littlefoot asks with a sad look in his face
-
"Who knows, maybe some may join you. Especially Ali." Cera said. "As for Shorty, I'm sure he's getting into mischief somewhere."
-
"Oh Littlefoot, you are MUCH too young to take my place!" Bron said. "You'll be with your friends and the valley for a long, long time! And, even when you are old enough, I cannot really force you to take my place..."
-
"Okay then that's a relief Dad, but do you really have to leave so fast?" Littlefoot asked
-
"Yea, It'll take a while to introduce Littlefoot to your entire herd." Cera said.
-
"Yeah!" Littlefoot aggreed knowing Cera was trying to persuade Bron to stay for even longer
-
"I'm not leaving for a few weeks, my son! What made you think I was going to leave?" Bron replied.
-
"Becasue you would need to as usual then I have to say goodbye again" Littlefoot said
-
"Not for a few weeks, Littlefoot." Bron replied again. That boy just didn't listen... :DD
-
"Promise?" Littlefoot asked
-
"I promise! I'll even show you how I run the herd while I'm here!" Bron told Littlefoot with a smile.
-
"I'd love that" Littlefoot said smiling back
-
"Sure. I can show you and all of your friends..." Bron told his son. He was somewhat uneasy. He didn't know what Littlefoot knew about a herd with Bron's set up...
-
"And maybe some of your herd can hear some of Grandpa Longneck's stories." Cera said, "and maybe Littlefoot can tell some of his grandpa's stories while his grandpa listens with the others." Cera said, liking to hear Grandpa Longneck's stories and guessing Littlefoot had heard quite a few of them.
-
"Sounds like fun!" Bron replied. He knew that his stepfather's stories were a treat to hear.
-
I'm sure everyone will enjoy them." Cera said, speaking the truth and hoping that would also be a reason Bron would want to stay a while like he said. "Hearing stories from an actual story speaker, I'm sure they'll enjoy hearing them."
-
"When does he speak his stories?" Bron asked Cera, knowing that these stories were usually told at night, and it was hardly an hour past noon at that point.
-
"I've heard them often at night." Cera said, then she looked at Littlefoot, "Littlefoot would know better then I would. And maybe if you asked Grandpa Longneck he'd not mind telling one earlier."
-
"Yeah I love the stories Dad" Littlefoot said
-
"Well, later tonight, we can go listen to your grandfather's stories." Bron replied. "In the meantime, how would you like to meet the herd?"
-
"I'd love that" Said Littlefoot
-
Bron led his son and the rest of the gang to a herd of 27 other adult and juvenile longnecks, not including a number of hatchlings, or the several younglings that there, like Shorty, who came to greet Littlefoot and the group.
-
"Hello there." Cera said as she looked the others over.
-
The adult longnecks, all female, greeted the children. None of them were anywhere near as large and strong as Littlefoot's father.
"Hello there, Little threehorn" one of the females said to Cera. "Have you met Bron?"
-
Cera nodded, "We sorta met him a little after Littlefoot first did, but didn't really get to talk much." Cera said, remembering the events of the 10th movie. "have you known him long?" She asked the female longneck.
-
"I've known Bron for many seasons... I have lost count." She replied. "He's the leader of our herd, so we all have known him for as long as the herd has been around."
-
"He seems like an ok person. Did he ever mention Littlefoot here?" Cera said.
-
"Oh, he sure did!" the female replied. "Bron kept talking about his first-born son, and how he had an heir to his position, and that we females would all be with Littlefoot one day... when he's fully grown, of course."
-
"Maybe, but that'll be a ways off." Cera said.
-
"It is a while, but after a certain age, longneck grow very quickly" she replied. "He looks like he will grow up to be every bit as male as his father is..."
-
"yes, and his grandfather also." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot hearing everyword he heard smiled
"Is that true Dad will I?" He asked
-
Bron laughed happily. "Sure is true, my son. Sure is. All I have will be yours one day."
-
"Guess that exited you." Cera said to Littlefoot.
-
"Yay I can't wait to be as tall as you Dad, but I like being small as well" Littlefoot said
-
"Some day, you will be large... bigger than any female of your kind... and you will be in charge of keeping this herd safe" the female told Littlefoot.
-
"Yea, while your son runs around having adventures." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot giggles "I can't argue with that" He says
-
"You might see things differently when you have children" the female replied to Littlefoot. "You really don't want to see them in danger..."
-
"What do you mean?" Littlefoot aksed
-
Cera got an annoyed look on her face, "They they should stop arguing and do what needs doing instead of arguing and leaving it up to us to do what needs doing." Cera said, remembering various times that happened, like looking for what stopped the water both times it happened, going after Hyp and his 2 friends, going in search of food, going to rescue Ducky, and other incidents.
-
Littlefoot laughed at Cera's suddern outrage
"I have to agreee with you there Cera" Said Littlefoot
-
"I do wonder why they'd rather argue then do what needs doing." Cera said.
-
Suddenly, a couple of longneck children ran out from Bron's herd. They were a brother and sister, and ran up to Littlefoot...
"Hi, brother!" they told him.
-
Littlefoot looked at them confused
"Huh? You must have me mistaken with someone else, i'm not your Brother" Littlefoot said
-
Cera shrugs, "Maybe the 3 of you have the same dad but different mothers, like Tricia and me."
-
"Bron is our dad! He's all our dad! He's the father of EVERY kid in the herd!" the young male said to Cera.
-
"I guess that keeps him busy, watching all the kids and the other duties he has as heard leader." Cera said.
-
"He watches over the whole herd!" the female child exclaimed.
"Oh, where are our manners, Lightfoot?" the young male said to his sister. "My name is
Ash, and this is my sister Lightfoot. We come from the same batch of eggs, so we have the same mom. Most of our other siblings don't."
"But Bron is the dad of ALL the kids!" Lightfoot exclaimed, seeming way too happy at this fact.
-
Cera looked at Littlefoot, "how do you feel about having more then just 1 brother and who knows how many sisters. I wonder if you have more brothers and sisters then Ducky." Cera said to Littlefoot.
-
"He probably does" Ash replied. "There are 27 kids in the herd. Every female has laid at least one egg, and Bron is the dad of all of them."
"Plus there are some females with eggs in them." Lightfoot added.
"Yeah. There's me, my closest sister over here, my older brother Stone, and the other siblings in the herd: Flint, Bluetail, Starrus, Whitefoot, Red, Brightfoot, Bill, Softfoot, Bob..."
"Bob?" Littlefoot asked.
"Bron let his mother name him. She isn't the smartest one of us..." Ash replied. "I'll tell you the rest later."
"The girls are the ones with body parts in their names, the boys are all the others" Lightfoot added.
"It's kinda odd... why is dad the father of so many?" Littlefoot asked.
"Well... he kinda runs things." Ash told his half-brother. "We may be his kids, but you are his heir. When we grow up, we have to leave. He can't feed and protect all of us. More longnecks join every now and then... dad only lets females and kids in, though."
-
"Hang on what I don't get is that if the girls get the body part names then how come I am a boy and I have a body part name?" Littlefoot asks
-
"Bron didn't get a chance to name you" Ash replied. "Besides, boy longnecks often get new names when they are fully grown. I don't think you'd want to be called 'Littlefoot' when the name doesn't fit you anymore."
-
"You have plenty of time to pick out a name I'm sure." Cera said.
-
(OOC: I just had Littlefoot ask this one question)
"Yeah... I'm nowhere near fully grown." Littlefoot told the others. "So... does Bron let other adult males live with him in the herd?"
"Nope. He doesn't want them near. He wants all the kids to be his, and he doesn't like anyone challenging him for the position of herd leader." Lightfoot told him.
-
"Hmmm I see so how long has my Dad been the herd leader for? Asked Littlefoot.
-
"About six years" the female said. "So far, he's kept us safe and fed, and our numbers are growing... thanks to him."
-
"Sounds like he's doing as good a job as my dad would do." Cera said.
-
"Well, he looks after all of us because everyone in the herd is either his child or his mate." She replied.
-
"How well is my Father liked as a herd leader?" Littlefoot asks
-
"I guess well liked or everyone would have left." Cera said.
-
"Well, we all like him... for the most part." Came the reply. "We are free to leave if we want, unless we have his children in us. He doesn't want a pregnant female wandering off alone. Still, very few of use have ever left the herd. "
-
"So um what do you's do all day?" Littlefoot asked
-
"We eat... we sleep, we talk with each other, we watch the kids, we eat some more..." the female said "and Bron mates with several of us a day to give the herd more eggs. Still, our numbers are large, although a female who wanders off alone is easy prey for a sharptooth, but Bron is just... well... he is a strong enough body to fend off any predators... yes..."
-
"I guess few of you have adventures then." Cera said.
-
"Well... no. Bron doesn't like it when we go off on our own... unless we leave the herd entirely. It's too dangerous to raise children on an adventure..." the female replied.
-
"So how many Longnecks in total of Males, Females and Hatchlings are there?" Littlfoot asks
-
"I guess it's not a small herd." Cera said.
-
"We have 27 children, 20 adult females, and Bron." the female replied
-
"Wow that's big, did the herd use to be much bigger?" Asked Littlefoot
-
"That is a very large herd." Cera said, a bit surprised at how large Bron's herd was.
-
"It used to be smaller, actually. Bron has taken it upon himself to increase the herd using his... well... by fathering more children." the female replied.
-
"So who was the first to join the Herd?" Littlefoot asked
-
"A group of several younglings were with Bron when I met him. Shorty was with him too." Came the reply.
-
"How are they doing now?" Cera asked.
-
"The younglings were all adopted... Bron looks after shorty" The female replied.
-
"So how has Shorty been? Has he been goon since last time I met him?" Littlefoot asked
-
"Shorty's been doing alright" the female replied. He'll be happy to see you I am sure."
-
"So he isin't misbehaving us much anymore?" Littlefoot asked
-
"Not really. He still has a short temper, but Bron helps him to keep it under control" she replied.
-
"I'd have guessed he's off looking for an adventure or something." Cera said.
-
"I'm not sure where he is, really" the female replied, wondering where Shorty was.
-
"Maybe looking for an adventure or getting into mischief." Cera said.
-
"Well... Shorty might be getting into trouble, but he's not much for adventures..." the female replied. "He talks big, but when real trouble comes forth... he tends to run instead of stand his ground..."
-
"Hmmm well do you know where he is now?" Littlefoot asks
-
"Not really. You should check by the waterfall, though. I think he was headed there." the female replied.
-
"If he's not there we can always ask some flyers to look for him." Cera said.
-
"Oh no. I'm sure he's fine" the female longneck replied. "He'll turn up sooner or later. He always does..."
-
"Hmmm do you wann go look for him Cera?" Littlefoot asked
-
"Sure. We can do something fun with him once we find where he's gotten himself to." Cera said.
-
"Okay then how about we go check the watering hole first?" Littlefoot asked
-
"He's probably there." The female told Littlefoot. "He likes to hang out around water."
-
"It won't hurt to go and have a look. If nothing else we can get a drink ourselves." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot smiled and nooded. "Okay then you lead on" He said
-
Bron was already over at the watering hole, checking it out himself. He was thirsty.
-
Cera led the way over to the watering hole. Once they got close she started to look around, "You see Shorty anywhere?" She asked Littlefoot as they drew near.
-
Littlefoot looked around closely but could not find any trace of Shorty "Nope what about you?" He asked
-
Cera looked around, "Nope. Maybe he's hiding or wondered off somewhere." Cera said.
-
Littlefoot thought for a moment and then smiled "Hmm do you want to split up and try and look for him?" Littlefoot asked
-
(OOC: If anyone controlled Shorty, my apologies. I had to get this section moving.)
"Look for who?" Shorty asked, coming out from behind a rock.
-
Cera looked at Shorty, "Why here you hiding back there?" She asked.
-
Littlefoot nodded "Yeah why Shorty?" He asked
(Well I am back Computer was on the fritz)
-
"Were you afraid, or were you up to something else?" Cera asked as she looked at Shorty curiously.
-
"Maybe I was up to something? What do it matter to you?" Shorty replied angrily.
-
"Hey I was just asking." Cera said, just as angry. "and you were acting suspiciously." She said.
-
"Come on Shorty, Cera stop fighting please" Littlefoot said
-
Cera continued to look angry, "he started it. I just asked what he was up to."
-
"I don't care who just started it, could we just please get along, this is my Dad's first visit, and I want him to know that, I have good friends" Littlefoot said.
-
"I can get along with most people just fine, but perhaps not with people who act suspicious at a simple question being asked." Cera said.
-
"Cera!, what did I just finish saying?" Littlefoot said, getting a bit annoyed
-
"You take your brother's side. I'll go elsewhere, hmph." Cera said then turned up her face and walked off in an annoyed manner.
-
Littlefoot didin't even bother about trying to run off after Cera as he really wanted to catch up with Shorty
"So how you been Shorty?" Littlefoot asked
-
"I've been fine, not that you really care" Shorty replied.
-
"Actually Shorty I do care, now please how have you been and answer properly please" Littlefoot replied.
-
"I've been fine" Shorty replied. "Not much has happened. The herd is boring, and Bron keeps a watch over all of us."
-
"How come you think the herd is boring?" Littlefoot asked.
-
"Because its the same things day in and day out. Very little ever happens!" Shorty complained.
-
Petrie had had breakfast with his family and once finished had told his mother he was going to look for his friends. He then took off flying around and headed to some likely places looking for them.
Spotting Littlefoot with someone else that he recognized as Shorty as he flew closer he then flew over to were they were.
"Shorty come visit?" Petrie asked once he was close enough.
-
"Yep he sure did Petrie" Littlefoot said smiling
OOC: Sorry haven't replied in ages been really busy
-
"That good news." Petrie said. "What we do now?" He asked the others he was with.
-
"Well are you going to go away like Cera did?" Littlefoot asked
-
"We play game or we stay here and talk?" Petrie asked.
-
"What do you want to do Shorite?" Littlefoot asked
