I think it is time to start this RP. Lets have fun here. ;)
-------
Ducky woke up before the sun was going to reach its highest point at the sky. She thought it will be great day and also interesting, since this day a new director was supposed to arrive in place of the previous one who (as other humans put it) 'retired' a few weeks ago. Ducky didn't knew exactly what that word mean, but was reassured it wasn't anything bad. She was happy with that explenation, as she remembered that old director was a nice person to her and other dinosaurs and she certainly wished him averything good...
"Wake up, Spike. It is morning already and I am sure you dont want to miss it, I am, I am." she said to her 'bigger brother' with her usuall cheerfulness.
-------
Ruby opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling of the cave she was sleeping in with Chomper. She turned her sight to the entrance and she saw that outside was bright already. She stood up and nudged gently sleeping Chomper.
"It is a time to wake up, Chomper, a time to wake up it is." she said.
-
Diver awoke, sleeping with her other siblings in the usual pile. She slowly worked her way out of the pile, being mainly on the top helped. She then blinked, rubbing her eyes since she wasn't fully awake as of yet, and yawned at the same time.
-
Ichy, Dil, Dein, and Terri had woken up. "I wonder if we're gonna have a part?" Ichy asked.
-
Petrie awoke. He set up from where he was sleeping & looked around a bit.
-
Chomper slowly rolled around on the ground until he heard Ruby's voice. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Morning already? But I was having this cool sleep story where I was on this hard wood thing that had four feet underneath it, except they rolled."
((Such a terrible way of explaining a skateboard in his terms :rolleyes: ))
-
Ruby giggled at Chomper's words. "You will have many times to dream it again, Chomper, you will, but now it is time for not dreaming." she said, grabbing him by his hands and helping him get up.
((True, but there is rather not so many other ways of explaining it in dinosaurs terms ;) ))
-
Cera woke up and slowly rose from ground. She looked down at the bunched up pile of grass and moss that she used as a bed and sighed. The three horn wanted desperately to have some of those "blanket" things she had heard some of the film crew talk about, but they wanted the dinosaurs to live as they would normally, "To keep them in character" as they would say.
-------------------------------
Spike was vaguely aware of Ducky's voice saying something, but he ignored it and tried to fall back to sleepy.
-------------------------------
Ali woke in a very cheerful mood. She had heard that she was going to get a bigger role and she couldn't wait.
-
Ichy and Dil walked around in the GV, as they were allowed there. "Did the director get us anything to eat?" Dil asked.
-
Diver looked at Ducky & Spike. "It looks like we'll have to wake him up using one of the usual ways, we certainly may." Diver said.
-
"Spike can be very hard to wake, he can. Perhaps we will have to eat those treestars by ourselves. Yep, yep, yep." Ducky said with a slight sigh.
-
Diver shrugged, "If we must we must. Maybe the sound of us eating will wake him up, it certainly may, or their smell." Diver said.
- -
Petrie got up and stood up to look out from the nest to the rest of the Great Valley. He glanced at his so called snuggling stuck, a prop from a previous episode they had filmed. He shook his head, not understanding why the humans wanted to add that in. He had never had one before, certainly not since he got to the Great Valley unlike the dialog they had wanted him to say. Sometimes those humans could be very strange and puzzling, Petrie thought.
-
Mama and Papa Sharptooth went to find their son, they wondered if they were going to have any work today.
"Chomper? You around?" Papa S. called
-
Ruby started listening, as she had the feeling she heard someone calling Chomper's name. Then she heard that voice again.
"Listen to that Chomper. It sounds like your dad's voice, because your dad's voice usually sounds like that." she said tu purple sharptooth.
-
Terri went to find the director. "Does anyone know what's for breakfast?" the mother sharptooth asked.
-
Chomper rubbed his eyes some more and then heard his dad's voice. "I guess that is him. I better go see what's up. I'll see you at work Ruby!" He waved at Ruby and then hurried towards his parents. "You called Dad?"
-
The building in which human stuff usually resided was located at the far end of the Valley, right by Great Wall. Actually, the visible part of this place was like a top of the iceberg: more of this building complex was lying underground and also there was a tunnel that leaded outside, not only of Great Valley but the whole world dinosaurs knew. This world, as big as it might be, was only a filming studio hidden under a huge roof os concrete. Of course from the inside it looked in a way, that ensured none would thought that the sky he was seeing was unreal...
((I imagine that the Great Valley and Mysterious Beyond are very much like the set of "Truman Show". In a general way and not every detail, that is. :p))
One member of the human stuff, who was responsible for feeding dinosaurs with their adequate food answered:
"He is not here yet. From what we know he might arrive later than was planned. We have breakfast ready for you though. Please, follow me." he started walking away. Actually, he didn't have that much work with providing food, because every plant, tree and berr-bush in a Valley was real, so the leafeater could feed themselves. Only predators needed to be nurtured, if the humans didn't wish them to hunt on other dinos...
-
Petrie stood looking at the view for a while more before he extended his wings and took to the air. He flew to a tree that had some treestars not to far and began eating before he would go in search of his friends. He'd eat only a small treestar or 2, enough for him, before he'd fly off to see what his friends were up to.
-
"Maybe we better eat a treestar or 2 before waking him since he may eat all of them if he wakes up now." Diver said.
-
"You are right, Diver. He can eat a lot, when he is awake, this our bigger brother. He can." she said with almost-like maternal softness in her voice. She turned around to face the centre of the Valley.
"Maybe we will find some treestars shaked down by the grownups there." she said pointing to group of adult swimmers.
-
"Yes, let's go there and take a look & ask them." Diver said looking in the direction at the area Ducky was pointing. "We can bring some back for Spike too. We certainly can." She said.
-
"I wanted to know if you wanted to join me and your mother for breakfast son," Papa Sharptooth said.
~~~~~~~~~
"Thanks, we were getting hungry," Terri, Ichy, and Dil said.
~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Shorty and Rhett arrived at the valley.
-
Cera began to walk off, preparing for her day.
-----------------
Spike's head shot up at the repeated sound of "tree star". He quickly rose to his feet and pushed past Ducky and Diver, heading to the nearest source of food.
-
"Well, at least he is up." Diver said as she saw Spike going towards the nearest source of food.
-
Chomper nodded. "Well as long as we don't eat anybody by accident, sure I'm game for breakfast. What did you have in mind? Creepy crawlies? Buzzing stingers?" He almost jumped with excitement. "Just thinking about them makes me hungry."
-
"How about some fish?" Papa S. asked his son.
-
"Excuse you, Spike!" Ducky called out, as he run past them, bumping them a bit. When Spike was hungry then he wasn't watching out so much as he should be. Ducky sighed before she said to Diver: 'Lets follow him. Maybe we will get some treestars before he eats all of them."
-
Farther away from the others, Scarface was taking his usual breakfast: Fish. Down at the river he jumped into the water to make some quick movements and catch some with his hands. After he came out, he sat down on a stone, beginning to eat the fishes with enjoyment
-
((If you signed in in rp-discussion, Nimrod, and maybe described your character I would be trully grateful. :) ))
-
OCC: Sure thing:)
-
Chomper's eyes widened with excitement. "Fish sounds delicious! I will definitely join you for breakfast now! So when do we eat?"
-
Diver nodded, "Let us hurry. Maybe we can get some indeed." Diver said before she ran off to try to get some treestars before Spike ate them all.
---
Petrie had finished eating some breakfast from the top of a tree and set off flying to see what his friends were up to, and the others in the Great Valley.
-
"Just as soon as we find your mother," Papa S. said.
-
Ducky run along with Diver. When she reached the place, to which they were going, she grabbed the nearest treestar and she started eating it. It was realy delicious, already making that day a good day. At one point, Ducky glanced at the sky and she noticed Petrie flying by.
"Hey, Petrie! We are here!" she called to him, waving with her hands to get his attention.
-----
In a meantime Ruby left the cave, intending on fiding her friends and having a breakfast.
-
Diver ran to a nearby treestar near Ducky and started to eat it. She waved to Petrie after Ducky had seen him.
"How you today?" Petrie asked them as he landed nearby where Ducky & Diver were.
-
Longtail was doing something he enjoyed as he swam through the fast water eating fish. He surfaced on the side of the water and smiled as his belly was full, and he looked around wondering where his friends were.
"I suppose I should at least go looking for them." he said with a laugh and flapped his wings and took to the sky knowing that finding his friends was going to be easier from the air.
(Who is playing Littlefoot?)
Grandpa and Grandma longneck were just waking up, and could tell that Littlefoot had already left either to find food on his own, or play with his friends. Both longnecks stood up and stretched to help themselves wake.
"Another wonderful day isn't it dear?" asked Grandpa Longneck
"It certainly is." came Grandma Longnecks answer.
-
"We are fine, Petrie, we are." Ducky answered. "How about you?" she asked, continuing eating treestar.
(Neogenesis is supposed to play him.)
-
Chomper looked around, almost growing a little impatient. "What's taking her so long? I'm so hungry I could eat..... well..... just about anything for that matter!
-
As Ecco was sitting there eating his fish, he saw Longtail passing by. He stood up and waved to him. Hey Longtail, goodmorning!
-
"Here's some fish dear," MAma Sharptotoh said, handing some to her mate and kid.
-
"Me doing ok. Me have good sleep last night." Petrie said nodding.
"I am glad to hear that, I certainly am." Diver said, between bites of her treestar.
-
Longtail looked down and smiled as he heard Ecco adress him. He slowly flapped down to the ground and smiled brightly as he nodded his head and replied, "Hello Ecco, nice to see you around. How are you?"
-
I am fine. I mean, how couldn¥t I during such a wonderful day. I have some fish left from my breakfast. Want some? he asked with a firm smile and pointed towards the fishes.
-
"Me see Spike eating breakfast. What you folks wanna do when you done?" Petrie asked.
"I am not sure. I have not thought about it yet. Have any of you?" Diver said, looking at Petrie, Ducky, & Spike.
-
"Maybe we could..." Ducky started, but she stopped as Ruby came to them.
"Hello my friends, my friends hello." Ruby said, carrying some sweet bubbles she had found earlier this morning.
"Hi Ruby." Ducky answered with smile.
-
Diver nodded as did Petrie.
"You look happy today." Diver said to Ruby.
-
"Do I? I think I always look happy, if I dont look sad." Ruby answered "Sweet bubble?" she offered a grape she was holding.
"No, thank you. I have to finish this treestar. Mom says: meal first, then dessert." Ducky refused politely.
-
"ooh, sweet bubbles. Those are very tasty & sweet." Diver said.
-
Ruby handed over sweet bubbles to Diver and at the same time she ate a few. In the meantime Ducky finished eating her treestar and she spoke:
"Maybe we could go find Littlefoot, Chomper and Cera. Then we could think about something else we could do. Yep, yep, yep."
"Chomper might be a bit busy with his folks right now, but I guess it won't hurt to ask if he wants to join us." Ruby responded.
-
"Thanks." Diver said as she took a few sweet bubbles and started to eat one.
"It no hurt to go and see what others up to." Petrie said.
-
After reigning in his thoughts Longtail answered Ecco and quite literally dove into the fish he'd pointed to picking one out and proceeding to eat it rather quickly. "Ahhh...nothing like fish to start the day!" he said with a bright smile.
-
Yeah, that¥s indeed right. And a little swim. Or in your case a fly, Ecco said and chuckled.
-
In the meantime, outside of the "Great Valley Dome" a grey car arrived at car park by the main entrance and one man got off a vehicle. He was late middle-aged man, but he still looked very energetic. He was rather tall, bearded with brown hair. He was holding a laptop bag in his left hand. He looked around as he was making sure he was in the right place. Then he walked towards the entrance, by which three guardsmen stood.
"Your identification, sir." one of them demanded with a tone that killed the pleasantry effect provided by word 'sir'. The bearded man just rose a brow at that and he said:
"I am Adam Springfield. A new director." Guard looked at him with an incredulous expression.
"Do you have any document to prove that?" he asked. Adam rolled his eyes and started searching through his pockets. After a few moments of this guard began to show a sings of annoyance, while the others looked rather bored. Adam then looked up and smiled apologetically.
"I am afraid I had to leave it in other pants." he said.
"Then I can't let you enter this facility." security guard said with some evil satisfaction.
"Even if I am a new director?"
"You can as well be a god damn President. Without a proper documents, there is only one way for you to..." he stopped as he heard a voice coming from his walkie talkie:
"Guard's post at main entrance. Reply." Security guard put walkie talkie against his mouth.
"This is a guard's post. Over."
"His identity is confirmed. Let him come in. Over." Adam then noticed that above the entrance was hanging one security camera, which now was pointed at him.
"Roger that." guard said with a disappointment, as he had hoped that he will get the occasion to kick somebody off. He really needed something to break the boring monotone watch duty.
"You can enter, sir." he said to Adam.
"Yeah? I think I will." Springfield said, but before he stepped into the facility he waved to security camera in an mocking expression of gratitude...
-
"Once others here done eating. To messy to go see what others up to while eating." Petrie said.
-
Longtail finished his third fish and smiled.
"That was tasty. Thanks again Ecco, but I wonder where the others are? Its still early, but they would've met us by now." he said aloud.
-
You¥re always welcome mate. Yeah, I wonder too. I didn¥t see any this morning. But maybe you could from up in the sky. You¥d have a better view from up there. I could search on the ground.
-
Adam walked through sgort corridor and entered a hall, with a small fountain in middle of it. He noticed, that there were a figures of dinosaurs from 'gang of five' (as fans were calling them) standing at fountain. The poster was hanging above them, with this sentence written on it: 'If we hold on together, I know our dreams will never die.'
"How sweet." Springfield said with a hint of mockery in his voice. Then he heard a sounds of steps coming from behind a fountain. After a moment he could see a man, evidently younger than him, coming towards him. Adam had a feeling that this was his one-man's welcome committee...
"Welcome to our LBT studio, Mr. Springfield. My name is Henry Greene and I work here as director's assistant and also as... Well... You could say I am a local psychologist here." the man said with a slight smile, holding out his hand. Adam shook it with his own.
"A psychologist?" Adam asked "Let me guess. Our beloved producer thought that I might need another shrink, as I am going to work with animate creatures? Tell him, that one is enough and he doesn't need to worry about me causing another 'accident'." Other man looked at Adam with confusion.
"I don't know what your are talking about, sir. I am here to take care of dinosaurs and not humans." he said "And no one has told me anything about any accident."
"Really? Perhaps he has more trust in me after all... Or you are not enough important here to know about this stuff." Adam stated, glancing at Greene "Nevermind. Firstly, I want to meet our 'stars' and after that I wish to talk with crew members."
"We don't have so many crew members here, sir. After the flop of previous movie, we had to dismiss most of employees. Now we have only a few people, necessary to shoot episodes of series." Henry explained.
"That's good. It will be easier for me to remember all the names." Adam retortet "Where is the entrance to Great Valley, Greene?" he asked.
"This way, sir. Follow me, please." the latter answered, showing road. They started walking another corridor...
-
Diver finished, "I have finished, eating my breakfast. How about the rest of you?" Diver asked.
"Me finished, me eat with family earlier." Petrie said.
-
"Is there anything I can do?" Shorty asked Longtail.
-
Longtail wasn't ready to hear Shorty's voice and it caused the flyer to jump and land on his tail. "Ow...S-shorty...please don't do that! You know my sniffer doesn't work when you're downwind." he took a few breaths to slow his heart and then said, "But sure...we could use all the help we can get..Ecco and I are going to look for the others.
-
Ecco couldn¥t help but had to laugh of the jump Longtail made. He patted him one time on the back and then greeted Shorty. Hey there, goodmorning. Yes, you would be a great help as well. .... Like some fish? Ecco asked with a grin.
-
Petrie nodded to Diver, "We off now?" He asked to which Diver nodded.
"Certainly, let us go and see what the others are up to now." Diver said & they set off with Petrie flying not to far ahead of Diver.
-
"Wait for me, please. I am going to. I am, iam." Ducky shouted after them and run along.
-
This looks fun. May I join in? Cera's family has not been accounted for yet, so I'll play them.
Meanwhile, Mr. Threehorn was getting irritable 'cuz he, Tria, and Tricia would almost certainly be late.
"Can we get going now, Tria?" Mr. Threehorn grumbled. Tria was looking at an odd, rectangular-shaped object that showed her image to herself. Tricia was still sleeping.
"Just a minute, poopsy poo," she cooed.
I HATE that pet name, he thought to himself before he looked at Tricia. "What the?! Tricia's not even up yet! Hurry it up, Tria!"
"All finished," Tria said in a cheerful manner.
"What is it with you females anyway?!" Mr. Threehorn continued, waking up Tricia in the process. Tricia, who had been spooked, began to cry.
"Oh, Tricia. I'm sorry, little one," he said as he tried to calm Tricia. She only cried louder.
"Oh, now look what you've done! First of all, Topsy Threehorn, I will NOT be spoken to in that tone of voice! Secondly, don't act like a sour treesweet this morning! I don't need it!" Tria scolded before she began to comfort Tricia.
We are so gonna be late, thought Mr. Threehorn.
-
(Of course. I will add you to the list.)
Ruby run after others. It was not hard to catch up with them at all.
-
"Hey Ruby, where ya going?" Chomper asked, catching up to her after eating breakfast.
-
"We are going to see, what others are doing." Ruby answered "Are you coimng wit us?" she asked small sharptooth
-
"Yeah," Chomper smiled.
-
Thanks :).
"Feel better, sweetie? That's my good little girl," Tria soothed as she nuzzled a now giggling Tricia. Mr. Threehorn, who was pacing back and forth, stopped and looked at them.
"Good. Can we go now?" he asked, trying to sound polite.
"Sure. Hold on, Tricia," said Tria as she scooped Tricia up with her nasal horn and set her on her daddy's back.
"Huh? What's that all about? You're usually the one to carry her," said Mr. Threehorn.
"Not today, Topsy. Besides, consider it a way of making up for scaring her. Okay, let's be on our way." As they left, Mr. Threehorn could feel himself getting ready to boil over. It was the feel of tiny paws walking in a circle that caught his attention. He smiled as he felt Tricia curl up, let out a yawn, and fall asleep.
Life's no so bad after all, he thought as he caught up to Tria.
-
Petrie and Diver continued to look around for their usual friends to see what they were up to at the moment.
-
At some moment, Ruby noticed Longtail, Ecco and Shorty "Look. I think I see some of our friends there." she called to others, pointing in right direction.
"I can see them too, I can, I can..." Ducky said.
-
"Let's all rush over and say hello." Diver said.
-
"We're here now, little one," Mr. Threehorn said, waking up Tricia. "I bet you'll be glad to see your sister."
"Cewa!" Tricia squealed in excitement. Her parents chuckled in response.
-
"Me like idea." Petrie said and flew over to where the others were while Diver ran behind him towards them.
-
"Hey, look who¥s coming there. Seems like we don¥t have to search for our friends, they are coming to us", Ecco said with a smile and waved to Petrie and Diver.
-
"Me glad to see you." Petrie said smiling as he landed near Ecco.
Diver waved to Ecco, "Hello, how are you today?" She asked as she hurried over to
where the others were also smiling.
-
I am glad too to meet you guys. And thanks Diver I am fine so far. Just ate some fish. What¥s about you? How are you feeling today. Same goes to you Petrie.
-
"Me feel fine. Me eat earlier." Petrie said.
"I am certainly feeling ok also. I ate earlier also. I guess we all did." Diver said.
-
"Hmm, yeah, except for me and Longtail. He just enjoyed some of the fish as well. But there is still some left. Maybe one of you wants some?", he asked, this time with a much bigger grin than as he asked Shorty.
-
Ducky and Ruby greeted their friends, but they gently refused eating a fish.
"I have already eaten, i have." little swimmer said.
"And so have I." Ruby said.
-
"Maybe Chomper would like some." Diver said.
"Me think he may, or his parents." Petrie said.
-
"Sure, I think so", Ecco said. "It would be sad to leave all this nice fish left behind without getting eaten"
-
"Hurry up, Tria. These tunnels are long, you know," Mr. Threehorn grumbled.
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Just be patient and...LOOK OUT!" Tria shouted.
"Huh?" Mr. Threehorn asked as he looked around.
"YIKES!" shouted a human's voice. Mr. Threehorn looked back around, and realized he was about to step on a human male. The human dropped his large Coke as he dodged the threehorn's foot.
"Watch it, pal!" the human snorted. Mr. Threehorn could not stop his foot and ended up slipping on the spilled Coke. CRASH!
"Oooh, that had to hurt. Are you okay, honey?" Tria asked as she came over next to him. Mr. Threehorn was sprawled out as far as the corridor width would accommodate. Tricia was sprawled nearby, but was giggling up a storm.
"Oh, pesty pickerbushes!" he growled. Just then, Tricia came over and started jumping on her father's back while giggling.
"Well, that's what you get when you rush, poopsie poo," Tria scolded. Mr. Threehorn thought he'd die from his embarassment.
-
"Maybe Petrie can find him and tell him." Ducky said.
"me go and look and tell him." Petrie said then flew into the air to go high enough so he could look around to see if he could see where Chomper was.
-
"Yeah, do so", Ecco answered and chuckled. "I am sure he would like some. Though I can understand why you don¥t want to have any fish. I think I wouldn¥t want to eat plants either."
-
Longtail hoping he could help joined Petrie in the air, using his wings to keep him aloft. He then began to look around trying to find Chomper and the others.
"I wonder what the others are up to right now?"
-
Petrie was looking down once he had flown high enough to see if he could spot Chomper and the others. "maybe they try to find us as we try to find them." Petrie said. He looked around while flying around. After a few minutes he pointed with his beak, "That them?" He asked as he thought he saw Chomper and some others.
-
"So, anyway. What are the others of you thinking to do today?" Ecco asked. "I heard there should be something new. A new human I mean. Did you hear about that as well?"
-
"Yes, I did." Ruby and Ducky said in unison, then they looked at each other and giggled. After that Ruby continued:
"I don't know much about this new human though. The others only told that he is supposed to arrive today and he will meet with all of us and we all are supposed to meet with him."
-
Longtail sighed.
"I still don't see Chomper anywhere." he said with a worried look on his face.
Cyrix however looked at Ruby and asked, "So what is he going to tell us?"
-
"Petrie sees him, let's all run over there." Diver said as she then took off runing to where Petrie was pointing.
