???th Battle [FOURTH WALL]

[divinewind]

[There's a new sort of dragon in Blackthorn City today. Or rather, flying above it; after being grounded for nearly six months, Temeraire is taking full advantage of his regained wings to perform all sorts of fancy dives and loops. And with him being several stories tall and weighing around eighteen tons, it would be very difficult to miss seeing him. A second look reveals that he's wearing a complicated-looking harness made of leather straps that covers from his chest to the base of his tail. There's also a large, platinum pendant around his neck, decorated with sapphires and pearls. Every so often he stops to hover in the air, bending his long neck around to rub the pendant with his nose. Around him, a group of six Pokemon fly: a Druddigon, a shiny black Charizard, a Dragonite, an Altaria, and a Flygon. Next to Temeraire, they look like so many gulls flocking around a ship.]

[Around midmorning, the joy of being in his proper form again settles down enough that Temeraire realizes that he doesn't actually know where in Johto he is. Or, more importantly, where Misaki is. So he starts flying lower over the city, hoping to spot her. But what if she's inside? Maybe he'd better call out.]

MISAKI! ARE YOU HERE?

[…and by 'call out' he actually means 'accidentally deafen the whole city'. Whoops.]

[If he doesn't find her in Blackthorn, Temeraire will pick a direction and start flying, keeping a sharp eye out for her or anyone he recognizes as he soars throughout Johto. He'll also have to stop and rest occasionally, in whatever large, clear space he can find. And since he's wearing his harness, he might even give some people rides.]

[OOC: For reference, here he is on a size chart (he's the black one). Comments will be coming from dragonrights!]

[Honestly, between the two of them, you'd think they were having a compliment war.]

We're not very common where I'm from, either, but thank you!

Would you really take me for a ride? Like really flying?

[dragonrights]

Yes, of course! I would be happy to, and it is nice to fly with friends. I think that there are some loose carabiners attached to my harness that you could use...

[He turns his head back to look, and does find one, nosing it so that she can see where it is.]

If you have a belt to attach it to, that would be best. Or you could just hold onto it, and I would fly very carefully.

[easy_as_cake]

Um... [She looks at herself, but unfortunately, somewhat fuzzy catsuits don't really require much in the way of belts, but... oh! There's an idea! She's got her trainer's bag, and it's really sturdy, so she pulls it over her head so it sits across from one shoulder to the opposite hip and tightens the strap a bit so it's snug.] There. Do you think that'll work?

[What fun is flying if you can only do it 'very carefully'?]
