Rainkeeper: Alright, we know we were supposed to update yesterday, but we wanted til today because it's-
Nightflyer: *slams into the room and throws confetti everywhere*
Nightflyer: IT'S VALENTIIINNEEE'S DAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rainkeeper:....That.
Air: It's Nightflyer's favorite day of the year.
Joy: Also happy birthday to DragonRider565
Nightflyer: *grabs Air and shakes her*
Nightflyer: VALENTINE'S DAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!
Air: I know dear.
Seashell: And hence we have an abundance-
Rainkeeper: Of Katherines!
Seashell:...No, of love related dares, did everyone just forget why we're here?
Kelp: It's Valentine's Day. You'll have to forgive us if we get a little....distracted.
Joy: *starts laughing*
*players appear*
Tsunami: WHY.
Nightflyer: It's Valentine's day and none of you are single, YOU DON'T GET TO COMPLAIN TODAY!
Winter: Bold of you to assume I'm not single.
Qibli: *slides up next to him*
Moon: *slides up on the other side*
Winter:.......I stand by my statements.
Sunny: Wait, if none of us are single.... *gasps* AMBER DID YOU FIND A BOYFRIEND???
Amber: *shrugs* I'm hanging out with Flame for the day, so I think he counts.
Deathbringer: So! What lovely hopefully not mentally scarring dares will we be doing on this day of love?
Joy: Lots of things, but priorities first.
Joy: *kisses Kelp*
Tsunami: EW.
Riptide: *covers his eyes*
Riptide: I SHIP IT BUT STILL EW.
Glory: *sighs*
Deathbringer: *screams*
Kelp: *smiles shyly*
Joy: *smirks*
Joy: Dare 1 done.
Sunny: Deathbringer, why would you scream?
Deathbringer: BECAUSE I SHIP IT SO MUCH BUT I ALSO WANT TO RIP KELP TO SHREDS, SO EVERY TIME THEY DO SOMETHING SWEET TOGETHER I'M TORN BETWEEN WANTING TO HUG THEM OR KILL HIM.
Sunny: Ah.
Peril: Wait, we're doing multiple dares today?
Seashell: Yep! It's been too long since we've done a mega super dare of lots of dares combined.
Kinkajou: Alright, well, we're ready! Give us our dares!
Air: Yeaaaahhhh, actually the first two don't even involve you.
Players: What?
Glory: But- but we're the ones you torture....
Joy: Yeah, but not today.
Seashell: *snaps talons*
*Swordtail, Luna, Blue, and Cricket appear*
Blue: Wha-
Cricket: I....have....SO MANY QUESTIONS.
Swordtail: LUNA!!!!!!
Luna: SWORDTAIL!!!!!!
Joy: Hey! Swuna!
Swordtail/Luna: Yeah?
Joy: Get in a closet for seven minutes in heaven.
Swordtail: Done.
Luna/Swordtail: *run in closet*
Joy: Oh, my bad, there was a typo, I meant to say years.
Joy: Seven years in heaven.
Fatespeaker: YEARS????
Kelp: Yep.
Glory: WHY????
Nightflyer: Gotta make up for all the shippy moments we missed between book 11 and book 14.
Nightflyer: Because if there is not some sort of ship moment with Swordtail and Luna in book 14, I WILL CRY.
Air: DON'T MAKE HIM CRY, TUI.
Blue: Why am I here?
Rainkeeper: Oh, you and Cricket need to do seven minutes in heaven too.
Blue: *contrary to his name, goes completely red*
Blue: *stammers and sputters, losing language entirely*
Cricket: what's seven minutes in heaven?
All: AHAHAHAHAHA.
Cricket:....Seriously, what's-
Hosts: AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH- *drag Cricket and Blue into closet and lock the door*
All: *keeps laughing*
Seashell: They'll be in there for an hour minimum.
Turtle: Next?
Rainkeeper: AMBER!
Amber: YES!
Rainkeeper: Your dare specifically asked for Umber, so is it okay if we turn you back into a boy for a little while?
Amber: Yeah, that's fine.
Seashell: *snaps talons*
*Amber goes back to Umber*
Winter: *starts crying*
Winter: It's SO SIMPLE. WHY WON'T YOU CHANGE ME BACK TO A GUY??
Joy: Because I LIVE OFF YOUR TEARS.
Nightflyer: Umber, if you could kiss any boy in the world, who would it be?
Umber: Oh, that's easy. Cole Sprouse.
Nightflyer: Uh-
Seashell: Not what we were looking for, but VALID.
Nightflyer: Try again.
Umber: Jensen Ackles.
Air: HA! Get in line.
Nightflyer: Um, try going for someone more dragon specific....
Umber: Toothless?
Nightflyer: Pyrrhia specific....
Umber: That really cute Skywing guard whose always around whenever I visit Carnelian?
Nightflyer: No....
Carnelian: Dude, point out that guard next time, I'll make things happen.
Umber: Deal.
Nightflyer: Oh forget it. We need you to do seven minutes in heaven with Flame, Qibli, and Winter.
Umber: All together?
Joy: Yes.
Umber: *slowly smiles*
Umber: Excellent.
Seashell: And I feel like we did this before, but I couldn't find any proof of that, so here we are.
Rainkeeper: Did you even look for proof?
Seashell: No.
Umber: *prances into a closet with Qibli and Flame*
Qibli: *comes back out and drags Winter in with them as he's kicking and screaming*
Clay: Now what?
Joy: You can all do whatever you want for seven minutes, we don't care.
Glory:......
Glory: Can we do seven minutes in heaven?
Air: Yes, because it's Valentine's Day, and that's the day where EVERY SHIP YOU LOVE SAILS.
Kelp: Even the impossible ones?
Air: *stares at picture of Sabriel*
Air: Especially the impossible ones.
Players: *run off*
Joy: Alright, well, we can start the next dare. Airflyer?
Nightflyer: Did you get me a scarf?
Air: Yep! Did you get me one?
Nightflyer: *wraps a scarf around Air's neck*
Nightflyer: What do you think?
Air: No.
Nightflyer: *laughs*
Rainkeeper: Now describe each other with the scarves on, my little OTP.
Air: Well, I got Nightflyer a gray scarf, which I know is a little dull, but since he has silver eyes, I thought the similar color would go well with them and pair well with the black scales. Plus I know he doesn't like really flashy colors since he's sophisticated like that, so I'd say he looks very dignified and handsome in his scarf.
Nightflyer: *trying and failing not to blush and grin like an idiot*
Nightflyer: I got Air a rainbow colored scarf because as an artist, she loves colors and I thought she'd like a more colorful scarf to bring out the colorfulness of her personality. Plus she's a little goofy, so I thought she'd like the wildness of a crazy scarf. I think she looks happy and gorgeous in her scarf.
Hosts: *melt from fangirl happiness*
Air: Awww. Happy Valentine's Day, Nightflyer.
Nightflyer: Happy Valentine's Day, Air. *kisses her*
Rainkeeper: *screeches*
Joy: KELP, HOLD ME, I'M GONNA FAINT THEY'RE SO CUTE.
Kelp: I might cry shipping tears. Is that okay?
Joy: WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT, OF COURSE IT'S OKAY.
Players: *emerge from their closets*
Starflight: We were only gone for seven minutes. Why are you all going nuts?
Seashell: Because AIRFLYER!!!!
Clay: Why do they have scarves?
Air: Because dares!
Nightflyer: Oh speaking of that, WINTER!
Winter: What?
Nightflyer: We got you a scarf.
Winter: No.
Air: *takes a blue and white scarf and wraps it around Winter while giggling*
Winter: nO.
Moon: *starts laughing*
Qibli: Oh CHILL out Winter, you look like an angry knitted fuzzball.
Winter: an angry fuzzball that will MURDER YOU ALL.
All: *laughs*
Sunny: Can we go enjoy Valentine's Day now?
Carnelian: Preferably some place with our SO's?
Rainkeeper: Well the Jade Winglet can.
JW: *cheers and runs away*
Kelp: The DOD, on the other talon, has to react to a chapter from JALGFY.
Deathbringer: From what now?
Air: Whoops, the fourth wall's dead again, I'll go call Lucifer.
Rainkeeper: The chapter is entitled "Failed Flirting"
ME: *randomly appears*
ME: AND HONESTLY IT WAS WRITTEN BECAUSE I STUMBLED UPON A PAGE OF CHEESY PICK UP LINES AND HAD TO RUN WITH IT AHAHA *disappears*
Peril: You guys really need to get better control of who randomly shows up in this game.
Joy: Just read the chapter.
""Hmm, haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Macaw asked flirtatiously. Joy sighed. This dragon. This obnoxious, annoying, aggravating, putrid dragon. Would. Not. Shut. Up.
Starflight: Oooo, excellent use of adjectives.
"Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore." she replied sharply, walking to a scroll rack in the library. Macaw followed her like a loyal dog.
Deathbringer: That's because he IS A DOG, MACAW GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER.
"I think I could make you very happy." he retorted. Kelp glanced up at them from a table, his eyes narrowing at the sight of Macaw.
Riptide: That's it Kelp, protecc your girl.
"Why? Are you leaving?" Joy asked hopefully.
"Oh, come on. You love me. Just admit it and make everything easier." he pleaded, leaning against a scroll rack. "Go on. don't be shy. Ask me out."
"Okay," Joy agreed. She pointed at the door. "Get out."
Glory: *bursts out laughing and high fives Joy*
"If the lady insists," he said with a flirty wink. The second he was gone, Joy let out a frustrated scream and sank into a chair next to Kelp.
"Who was that?" Kelp questioned, trying not to sound as suspicious and jealous as he felt.
Sunny: DON'T BE JEALOUS OF WEEDS WHEN YOU'RE A FLOWER, KELP!
"Only the most repulsive, abominable, repugnant, loathsome, foul little gnat the world has to offer." she replied. "And of course, he has unfortunately set his sights on me."
"Well, for starters, you've been spending way too much time with Nightflyer if you can list all those synonyms." he began. "And, if he becomes a problem, do let me know and I will gladly dispose of his dead body somewhere quite unpleasant."
Deathbringer: I SECOND AND THIRD THAT MOTION.
Starflight: I'm glad I have taught my son a decent vocabulary.
"Don't worry," Joy assured him. "That odious cockroach is the last dragon on the planet you need to be worried about."
Sunny: E X A C T L Y
"Oh, Joy. Where have you been all my life?" Macaw said dreamily.
"Hiding from you." Joy replied.
"Ah- ah-ah!" he continued. "You aren't allowed to speak. Today you can only address me with song."
"Songs." Joy repeated.
"Yep."
Glory: *starts humming "F you by Lily Allen*
"Well, here's a song for you. Row, row, row your boat, Stay away from me! Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, I want you to leave."
Tsunami: *dying laughing*
Tsunami: I need to use that one.
"I want you to describe me in one word." Macaw declared.
Glory: Oh, I got one. PERVERT.
Joy: PSYCHOPATH.
Rainkeeper: STALKER.
Kelp: REVOLTING.
Deathbringer: DEAD!
"One word huh? Hmm, let me think." Joy responded. Kelp watched on, slightly amused. Sure, he could easily bash this dragon's head in, but it was much more entertaining to watch Joy shoot him down. "Since narcissistic is too big of a word for you, how about asshole? Do you understand asshole?" she asked. Kelp buried his snout in his talons to smother his laughter. That was definitely one of her better comebacks.
Deathbringer: Glory, are you proud right now? I'm so proud. *wipes away a tear*
"Do you believe in love at first sight, or do you want me to walk by again?" Macaw asked.
"Walk by, but this time, don't stop." Joy announced.
Sunny: Love is an open door, but the door leads to the exit.
"I can see forever in your eyes," Macaw proclaimed.
"funny, cause all I see is never in yours." she retorted.
"Every kiss begins with K!" Macaw protested.
"Oh, thank you for reminding me." Joy agreed as she walked over, grabbed Kelp, and kissed him.
Fatespeaker: Wow, that was smooth.
Clay: Smooth as a fresh jar of Skippy.
Clay: I'm so hungry.
"I'm no cactus expert, but I know a prick when I see one." Joy announced. A moment later, she pointed at the door just as Macaw walked in.
"Shhhhh." Joy whispered. Macaw stopped talking. "If you listen very closely you can hear the glorious sound of you shutting the fuck up."
Peril: Joy, I need to like you more.
Joy: I know.
"Bitch." Macaw whispered as he walked by.
Air: JERK!
"I've been called worse." Joy proclaimed.
"Like what?"
"Your girlfriend." she replied, with a disgusted look on her face.
"You'll never find anyone else like me Joy!" Macaw declared.
"THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT!" Joy proclaimed.
Tsunami: ^This.
"Did you hit your head when you fell from heaven?" Macaw questioned. Starflight bit back a laugh. The two of them had been doing this for weeks. It really was quite amusing.
Farespeaker: OH MY GOSH, STARFLIGHT, YOU'RE IN THE STORY.
Starflight: SWEET, I GOT A STAN LEE CAMEO!!!
"No, but I did scrape my knee crawling out of hell," Joy countered, reshelving a scroll.
"Oh, that explains it." Kelp announced.
"Explains what?" Joy asked.
"Why you're so hot." Kelp said obviously, not missing a beat. Joy stared at him for a moment before turning to Macaw.
"You." she said, pointing at him. "Take note." She pointed at Kelp. "That, is how you flirt with someone."
Riptide: *high fives Kelp*
Deathbringer: Kelp, I may be mad that you're dating my daughter, but I will respect smooth moves when I see them.
Kelp: Thank you.
Sunny: So in conclusion, Macaw is a creepy stalker, Joy is awesome, Airflyer is adorable- can I go spend Valentine's Day with my boyfriend now?
Rainkeeper: Yeah, you're free.
All: *cheers*
Joy: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!
Kelp: IF you have someone to spend today with, BE GLAD AND HAVE A GREAT DAY WITH THEM!
Seashell: If you're a single pringle like our scavenger author, then here's a list of great things you can do with your day instead of wallowing in sadness because you're single!
-Go to a restaurant. Put fake engagement rings in champagne glasses. Watch the chaos unfold.
-Buy out/hide all the Valentine's Day cards/candy at a store where they are bought. Watch as forgetful boyfriends panic when there's nothing to buy.
-Binge your favorite movies
-Write/Binge read fanfictions for all of your ships. You may not have a love of your own, but you can get some happiness from the love of your ships.
-Be the bravest person on the planet and actually tell your crush you like them. Good luck to you. If it works, congrats! If it fails, that's okay too, there's plenty of ships in the sea.
-Sleep. Valentine's Day is overrated. Wait til tomorrow and then go buy all the half priced chocolate and eat it. You deserve a reward for putting up with everyone else's Valentine's Day BS.
