In the land before time

The Chronicler · **Reply #300 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:15:12 PM

Chronicler finally managed to find a place where he could be alone. It was simply a small clearing in the forest. He sat down on a large rock and picked up a stick that was on the ground nearby.

Ruby had followed him and now stood near him. "You definitely seemed to act very differently back there where my friends and some new friends were, very different you were," commented Ruby.

Chronicler sighed. "I'm just not comfortable around other people."

"Well, now that you don't have to worry about that, what do you want to do?"

Chronicler shrugged. "I would like to find a way back home, but that's obviously not going to happen anytime soon." Chronicler had been drawing a circle in the dirt with the stick he held. as he looked at it, he got an idea. "Hey Ruby, would you be interested in learning something from my universe?"

"Sure. I'm always ready to learn something I don't know."

"Alright. What I'm going to teach you is called 'writing'."

Sam turned to pterano. "I'm sam and your name would be,' sam asked pterano.

Amy nodded to jedi in a thank you and said, "Nice to you here," Then she spoke loudly to "Thomas", "I knew it! I knew recognized you!" She pointed to Noname.

"You're Noname aren't you?"

Then she was frozen solid when she saw Pterano in the clearing, in view of everyone else.

She became frustrated and demanded in a soft voice, "Pterano, what are you doing here?!"

Little Foot then asked his father, "Hi dad! Is Shorty around here too?"

Noname · **Reply #303 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:35:56 PM

"Noname... NONAME?! What is that, some sort of trick?!" Pterano said.

"It actually is the name that Odysseus gave to the cyclops Polyphemus to trick him into shouting thatt 'Noman' has blinded me when the Greek Hero stabbed out his eye... and 'Noname' is a derivation of that. I prefer to be called "Thomas" as it is my Baptismal name... My real first name is Vincent.

John had decided to introduce himself, instead of his usual tactic of keeping distance between himself and the other GOF members.

"So it seems we've all met eachother, my nomen(name) is John,some of you may know me as Belmont2500,I joined the GOF recently" he explained.

Noname · **Reply #305 on:** September 11, 2009, 09:23:34 PM

"Welcome Belmont" 'Thomas' said. "I'm not sure how so many of use are showing up here at all once... but I'm glad to have you here."

Belmont2500 · **Reply #306 on:** September 11, 2009, 09:29:20 PM

"Noname,I take it" John responded, he had heard Pterano yelling his name at the top of his lungs earlier.

Grandpa Longneck thought for a moment, "All the young ones play, some others gather in certain places and talk to each other, tell stories or other things." He said.

"Some also explore as well." Mim said, thinking that she had done this, some did, and she knew certain young ones who enjoyed doing this as well.

Pangaea · **Reply #308 on:** September 11, 2009, 10:42:35 PM

Pangaea and Guido had just caught up to Cera and Tricia (having fallen behind due to being much slower on the ground than the threehorns).

“Whoa, Cera...” Pangaea panted, “Wait up for us nextó”

His jaw dropped at the sight of several humans gathered among the dinosaurs.

“What the heck?!” he exclaimed.

“Aah!” Guido shrieked at the sight of a sharptooth (Drew) who was clearly not Chomper. He hid behind Pangaea, shivering.

“What’s a sharptooth doing here?” he whispered nervously to Cera, hoping she’d know.

“Forget the sharptooth,” Pangaea muttered. (Though he was puzzled by the presence of a second sharptooth in the Great Valley, he figured that if the leafeaters weren’t running from it or driving it out, it must not be a threat.) “What are HUMANS doing in the Great Valley?”

(OOC: Emerald, you’re still in your sharptooth form, right?)

Emeraldsunstone1990 · **Reply #309 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:05:24 PM

(Yes)

Drew stepped forward as he shifted into his human form again. Raising a hand, he waved at the two. "HI there, Im Drew. I'm emeraldsunstone1990 from GOF, it's nice too meet you. Dont worry, just cause I can become a sharptooth, doesnt mean Im mean".

Chomper smiled, as he said "It's a friendly sharptooth as well, like me".

"believe me it wasn't all good, I've already been chased by a Sharptooth" Belmont replied ,this made Grandma Longneck gasp "were you in the Mysterious Beyond,Little one" she said "Yeah and I wished I had awaken somewhere else" Belmont proclaimed

(Belmont, you're probably new at rping, but you don't take control of another person's characters. GVG is playing Grandma Longneck, not you. I just want to let you know that for future reference)

Red Claw waited for his response. "Well? Did any of you get food?" He demanded.
------------------------
Mr. Three Horn looked over at his mate Tria and he wondered if she was okay, considering that she never was up all day.

"Tria." He whispered, "Are you alright?"

"I only found a nest ful of young fliers but if we wait here someone's bound to show up here,' thud said. Just after thud said that an adult longneck showed up at the watering hole. "Well now there's a nice food source,' thud said.

Mim looked over at the new arrivals, "It looks like Guido has met a new friend." She said.

Grandpa Longneck looked over in the direction Mim was looking, "It does indeed." He said.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #313 on:** September 12, 2009, 12:53:39 AM

"Nice to finally meetcha in person, Amy," Anna replied. "It seems we are all GOF members here."

"If he says he's friendly, Guido, there's nothing to be afraid of," Cera reassured Guido as she glanced over at Drew.

"Anyway, I'm Cera, and this is my baby sister Tricia," Cera added. "Come out and show yourself, Tricia." Tricia stepped out to the right of Cera and giggled as she looked at all the new faces.

"He is friendly, yep yep yep! I like our new friends, yes I do!" Ducky chattered in excitement.

"So, what were you guys planning on doing?" asked Cera.

Noname · **Reply #314 on:** September 12, 2009, 03:28:16 AM

"I'm all right, Topsy, thanks" Tria responded. "I am just a bit... tired."

Pangaea · **Reply #315 on:** September 12, 2009, 03:48:13 AM

For a while Pangaea couldn't say anything. Already stunned by the revelation that he was not the only human (well, former human, anyway) to have been inexplicably transported to the Land Before Time universe, he had been downright flabbergasted to discover that at least some of these humans were able to spontaneously shift between a human and a dinosaur form. (Drew's demonstration of this appeared to have had the same impact on Guido, as Pangaea noticed that the smaller glider had been struck similarly speechless. Cera, on the other hand, appeared virtually unfazed; evidently she had already met a human and witnessed such a transformation.)

One thing did make sense, though: "They're all GOF members," Pangaea thought, "All the humans here. I suppose that's not too surprising."

However, in light of this new discovery, Pangaea's initial bewilderment was becoming rapidly converted into nervousness. He had never counted on meeting any of his fellow GOF members in person, and even though he had communicated with many of them, he was feeling excruciatingly shy. He had no idea what to say; how to react to them; he didn't even recognize which members they were. Furthermore, Pangaea had never felt especially comfortable around crowds, and for him, a group of three or more people was enough to qualify as one.

And as if that wasn't enough, in the midst of the bamboozling situation, Pangaea had come face-to-face with two more familiar LBT faces: Chomper and Ducky. The latter was particularly exciting to him, as while he was immensely fond of all seven members of the gang, Ducky was one he felt particularly attached to. It was therefore somewhat ironic, Pangaea thought, that on all the occasions he had imagined himself meeting the LBT gang, he had never been able to envision quite how he would interact with Ducky, given that her extroverted personality was the polar opposite of his introverted one. But now that he was meeting her, the rest of the LBT dinosaurs, and several members of the GOF for real, he wanted to at least try to make friends with them. He didn't want to be the center of attention, but he even less wanted to be ignored; left out of the social circle due to his hesitancy to get involved. Taking a deep breath in an effort to stave off his anxiety, he mentally selected the words for his introduction:

"Uh...Hi there, everyone," he said, raising a shaky hand to wave at everyone who was currently looking at him, "Sorry if my greeting is awkward, but frankly I...uh...never expected I'd ever meet any of you. Let's just say that...to say this is overwhelming for me would be an understatement. Anyway, I'm Pangaea. Some of you Gang Of Five members might know me already."

Rick smiled as everyone seemed to be getting along with each other. He then looked to the sky again and took a deep breath, noting how clean and clear the air here was, and how vibrant and wonderful the trees looked compared to his home. "This really is a beautiful place to be. Even if I'm a longneck."

Grandma Longneck looked over as she noticed Pterano.
"Hello Pterano...I do hope you are not here to cause us any trouble...as you know that would be most unfortunate for you."

Spike walked over to Ducky and gently nudged her and laughed as if to comment 'you didn't forget about me did you?'

Belmont2500 · **Reply #317 on:** September 12, 2009, 10:11:00 AM

(Rat_lady7: Yes, I'm new at this,forgive me.)
John then thought in his head "How did all of this happen in the first place,why did I,of all people,end up here" then he walked over and leaned his back up against a tree,deep in thought.

While the other GOF members were talking with the littlefoot and his friends two rainbow faces that had been there before a few years earlier had returned. "I hope you don't do anything like you did the last time we were here,' the female rainbow face said to the male. "I don't know what you're talking about,' the male replied. "You know very well what I'm talking about you were not suppose to help but you did anyway,' the female said in a stern tone. "They were hungry what was I suppose to do,' the male said. "Well anyway let's hope we get a more friendly reception than we did last time,' the female replied.

"Yes I could get used to living here,' sam said.

"& more recent arrivals too." Flapper said, wondering who and how the others had arrived.
