“That’s strange; nobody’s on…” Sparky muttered to herself as she went onto the Gang of Five website. It was very late and she was expecting someone like Pangaea or maybe Rat_lady7 to be on, at least. But there was no one but her. Petting her two ratties, each perched on her shoulders, she took the inactivity as a sign that it was time to head for bed. She closed her laptop and went to the rat cage, giving her babies a sweet peck on the head before putting them in.
“Night, Caramel. Night, Domino.” Returning to her bed, she put her computer on the floor and laid down to sleep, listening to Cradle of Filth on her iPod before dozing off. Her sleep was so uncharacteristically deep that she didn’t notice the glow and slight tremor vibrating through her room….
--
Sunlight flooded through the close lids of her eyes and she winced with a groan. Morning already? Felt like hardly any time has passed. And who opened the blinds?! She hated when her window was open and allowing sunlight into her room. Oh well, time to wake up. Need……iPod…. she thought, hand feeling the area around her for her musical device. Hmmm, her bed didn’t feel like her bed. Her sleepy mind failed to comprehend this fully and she yawned, habitually giving her greetings to her rats.
“Morning, my little bludgers…” she muttered before opening her eyes to look her pets’ direction. That’s when she finally woke up fully and it wasn’t with the help of loud rock music for once. Her room did not look like her room at all. There was vegetation everywhere and her bed was now the hard ground…And where were her ratties?!
Alright, what kinda prank is this?! She sat up a bit, feeling very different indeed before looking down at herself. Startled at what she saw, she jerked up, stepped on something that shot a sudden pain through her body, let out a habitual “Eep!!”, and fell over on her back.
“Okay, that was stupid, even for me…” she admitted to herself, calming down enough to be a bit irritated at her fallen position. “Who put a log behind me?!” Lifting her head, she looked down her body at what she stepped on. Staring at her aching tail with wide eyes, she muttered to herself once more. “That’s definitely not a log.”
Alright, so she was a dinosaur. That’s so not weird. What kind of dinosaur was she? Her body seemed a bit theropod in nature, but what of the long neck? She doubted she was an ornithomimid. She had a slow moment with her dino knowledge until she saw her hands. Each held three very large and nasty looking claws. Lifting one hand and closely examining the claws, she couldn’t help but think that she can totally pwn someone with these. Okie-dokie, judging from what I know of dinos, I’d say I am a Therizinosaurus…Well, at least I’m one of my favorites! Perking up considerably from that fact, she looked about, trying to figure out where she was. It didn’t take her long to recognize the beautiful place filled with familiar-styled dinosaurs living in peace.
The Great Valley? she thought in confusion. Yup, she knew from that instant that she was in the LBT world. Ah, this just keeps getting better and better and that was not to be taken sarcastically for once! Standing up, she tried to get used to her new size and shape and to the presence of a tail, which she was now reluctant to step on, lest she repeats herself. Letting out a small 'Squee!' of excitement, she began wandering aimlessly as she always does when lost. She hoped someone would help tell her what’s going on and what she should do next. She couldn’t bring herself to approach the dinosaurian strangers around her and hoped one of them would notice her lost wandering and make the initial approach themselves.
