Stripetail smiled. 'tarrax has had mates and children before of course, but those were in the first ten thousands years of his life. 3 wives, and ten children. None of them are still living, unfoirtunately, they were all half-mortal. All of them, as I recall, lived a thousand years, the longest-lived lived to be 4000. Tarrax has been by himself now for a very long time, you see. I must tell you, he's enormous in size, so in the past in order to have mates, he's had to shrink himself to a smaller size. Otherwise he'd crush his mate in his normal size..."

"That does sound very lonely." Sara said. "I guess they aged like humans and some other races do. It does get hard living among them at times, even once one is use to it. Luckily the imperial family type of dragons and mine don't so we have each other to help to support each other, and certain other like Odysseus. Though there are not a lot of the imperial family type of dragons on Korodos."

"He's large? Sounds like the emperor and some others of the imerial family. I guess his mates have not had a growth ring like my family has. We use them for certain rituals and such where we need to be larger, closer in size to some of the imperial family members, who do attend such rituals and ceremonies." Sara said.

'Some of his mates were large for females, but male dragons are larger than females, and Tarrax is a very large male. He's a decent sort, when you get to know him, but he's very protective of me, and personally he may be a bit rusty in relating to female dragons. Roughly, how old are you Sara? You don't age physically, but the years leave their mark all the same.." Stripetail replied.

Sara shook her head, "My type doesn't age and grow old. We do continue to grow as we get older but at a slower rate the older we get, but we never grow old like most others do. My mother and grandmothers & such look about the same age as me, they are just slightly taller is all. As for my age," Sara said shrugging, "I'd guess maybe 500 or 700. I've not really kept track and the way I travel with The Tourist makes it even harder to tell since regardless of how long I travel with him at a time when I want to return home I'm returned a second or less after I left. Males among my type are larger them females also for the most part."

She smiled a bit at the rusty at dealing with female dragons, "Rusty as in he'll grab or try to hop on or do you mean in other finer details?" Sara said.

Nick22 · **Reply #604 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:01:35 PM

No, he won't try to kiss you, fiondle you or mate with you at the first go around, if thats what you mean. No, he'll be a bit rusty at conversing with you, going out on dates, that sort of thing. He hasn';t done that in thousands of years..nor have I for that matter" Stripetail said.

Kor · **Reply #605 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:14:30 PM

Sara nodded, "We can take it one step at a time. There is no need to hurry after all." She said.

Nick22 · **Reply #606 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:18:24 PM

Its good that you're open to this. I take you haven't had many boyfriends, what with your travels through Time, and what have you" Stripetail smiled..

Kor · **Reply #607 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:28:27 PM

"I spend time at home also, but no, I've not found anyone special, nor am I dating at the moment. " Sara said.

Deimos encountered Dr. Zanasiu at the front of the hotel. "Those 2 arrivals. The Siberian Husky and the Chinese man, something doesn't feel right about them. I could smell it." he whispered.

"You're always suspicious Deimos." Dr. Zanasiu replied.

Zachary soon walked down the stairs with his ax strapped across his back. "So what's new."

Up in the 6th floor, Ivan and Paul were being harassed by some poltergeists.

Ivan unleashed a stream of very loud Russian profanity as a cream pie hit him in the face.

Paul ducked as a water balloon narrowly missed him. "Damn ghosts!" He drew his pistol and took aim.

"Paul! Put that away!" Ivan shouted, wiping cream filling off his face.

Paul he reholstered his pistol. As he was putting his pistol away, a jet of water shot out from a nearby sink and hit him in the crotch.

"Damn it! I didn't unpack my clothes!"

"Well, you're going to have to get breakfast in that shape." Ivan replied. His clothing was still covered in cream filling.

Paul swore and headed down the stairs into the lobby.

Nick22 · **Reply #609 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:35:10 PM

Come back boys! I'm not finished with you yet! You have to taste my apple pie. " The Pie Throwing ghost laughed throwing an apple pie and hitting Paul in the back of the head.

Nick22 · **Reply #610 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:39:12 PM

Then you and him, have that in common as well" stripetail smiled. "These blueberry muffins are good, aren't they? We're eating them by candlelight, but they're still good.." He laughed.

Kor · **Reply #611 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:49:17 PM

"I guess we both do." Sara said smiling. She nodded at the comment about the muffins, "They are very tasty indeed." Sara said. "Do you come here often?" She asked.

Serris · **Reply #612 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:50:15 PM

"Hey, Ivan I've got to wash up." Paul said.

"Sure." Ivan responded.

Paul then ducked into a nearby bathroom. After a few minutes, his headfur and mane were moist but most of the apple pie filling was gone.

Paul and Ivan then continued down the stairs until they had reached the lobby.

"Hey, what's for breakfast?" Ivan asked Briggins.

Nick22 · **Reply #613 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:52:03 PM

This is my first time here actrtually. I have a friend -his name is Nick- who works here. He had to fins a job after his resteraunt was destroyed earlier this year. Luckily, he had insurance, and He hopes to reopen in a new location soon.." Stripetail replied.
Have you ever come here before?" He asked.

Serris · **Reply #614 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:56:32 PM

Rime, Strut, Mr. Bigmouth and Ms. Swimmer got up from their seats and returned to the lobby. Only Ms. Swimmer had her weapon; Mr. Bigmouth left his in the closet as he was told by Deimos that a spear wielding Swimmer might make guests uncomfortable.

Nick22 · **Reply #615 on:** March 02, 2009, 03:58:47 PM

Breafast is being served in the dining room." Briggins said. "Waffles, Pancakes, sausages, hash browns, whatever you feel like eating.. We start serving lunch at noon.."

A loud banging could be heard. It's too bad that everyone in the surrounding rooms were still trying to sleep. Otherwise, they might have come to see what the ruckus was all about.

"The door won't budge," Genki stated. "Come on Tigress, can't you just blast the door down?"

"There has to be another way. I can't destroy public propery," Tigress replied, still in a low, quiet voice that was very unlike her.

Genki sighed. What could he say to sway her? She hates breaking others' things. "Hey Tigress, Tiger is on the top of your priority list right now, right?"

Tiger always was, but Tigress simply said, "Yes."

"In that case, why do you seem more worried about a door than him?"he asked.

"I-" then she suddenly paused, taken back by such a question. She glanced up at him. "Do humans always have such a way with words?" she asked, a smile now completely formed on her face.

"No, but we try," Genki answered, returning her smile.

Tigress walked over to be somewhere between six and seven feet away from the door. Genki, being no fool, did not have to be told but instead came over and stood beside her.

Electric energy radiated from each of the ends of her horns, and flickered brightly like a pulse. It had a blue tinted aura, and it was released in two semi straight bolts. It hit the door dead on, but not only completely destroyed it, but damaged the surrounding walls.

"Uh, oops?" was all Tigress could say.

"Whoa, that was even stronger than Tiger's!" Genki said in amazement.

"Oh, it really isn't. The Lightning attack simply increases in power as it's charged. It takes a bit of time as you saw, so it can be difficult to use in battle, so Tiger normally just fires it right away. But if he charged it like I had, the walls wouldn't have been damaged; they would no longer be there."

"Wow," was all Genki could say.

Then Tigress spoke up. "Come on! We have to find him!" Tigress bolted out of the room, unintentionally leaving Genki behind. When she realized, she darted back and said, "Get on."

"Uh, okay." He climbed on to her back, and she took off.

"Hey, Tigress?"

"Hmmm?"

"How do we find him?"

"With our noses silly," she responded. "Oh, that's right. Humans can't follow scent trails very well," remembering something she had read. "Don't worry. Leave it to me!"

Tiger's scent was not difficult to pick up at all. In fact, even a human could smell it to some degree. Tiger does tend to sweat heavily when he gets worked up. The two of them began heading in his direction, all the while Tigress thinking of how to approach him...

Paul and Ivan entered the dining room and grabbed their plates.

Paul had piled his plate high with fruit and Ivan grabbed sausages and eggs.

Sara, "No, it's my first time to this location, though I've been to this world before." She said. "I do hope your friend can get his place fully rebuilt." Sara said.

Hunter was jolted awake by the loud bang, as Tigress blew away the door.. "What in the name of Fate is that!" He muttered as he climbed from his bed.. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone who was still asleep is not awake by that. It was then the sound of a loud trumpet filled the hotel. "Wake Up everyone! This is your wake-up call!" It was Brggin's voice, and it boomed through the hotel. If anyone was still asleep after that, they were probably dead" Hunter thought..
