“Woooo, that was close,” the snapper whistled
Quote:
Flick clinging to the side of one of the many rocky plateaus supporting a lightning rod at its peak. The two dragons both watched as the precariously perched Ridgeback took swipes at the end of a disconnected cable just out of reach.
dragons swipe at things

Oi

An ominous rumble of thunder from above followed.
Quote:
He reached out a slender clawto grasp the frayed cable.

TYPO SPOTED AT 12 OCLOCK
Quote:
Flick wasted no time. Leaping past Dib, he landed his back legs squarely on a large power lever that had been concealed from their view. Without hesitating, he pressed hard on the switch with a maniacal grin. A shower of sparks erupted from the machinery and the cable Dib grasped in his claw lit up with arcing electricity. With a maniacal laugh as the powerful electrical current shot through his body, Dib grabbed the second cable and grounded the current. Just below the writhing spiral, Flick let out a whoop, “SHOCK SWIIIIIITCH!” Chasem stared on bemused.
Flick:HI IM FLICK, AND WELCOME TO LIGHTNING
Quote:
“You’re being reassigned,” said the pile of parchments and blueprints laying on the desk before the three engineers. The trio blinked at the unexpected announcement from the paperwork.
The voice came again. "Did you hear me?"
Dib tapped a parchment in front of him gingerly, trying to create an open space with which to see the source of the voice. Despite his efforts, the entire pile of parchments and scrolls fell off the wooden desktop, revealing a mottled and bitter looking fae glaring at them. "Uh, yeah, we heard you, chief. Back to sector fourteen?" Chasem cut in.

1) that segway was handeled

3) just how fitting this all is?
everything i ever needed to know about the character is told through that cut and this small interaction
and also
Craklinne: GET BACK TO WORK
Imperial: AAAAAA
Quote:
Chief Storm Engineer Craklinne leered over her goggles at them
Would a fae look over like this
or like this
Quote:
she smiled wanly
Quote:
Chasem’s eye widened
Quote:
Chief Craklinne barked out a laugh.
Quote:
Crakkline slammed her small claw on the table, cutting him off with a tiny thwap.
Quote:
After a moment, the door creaked open to reveal a thin, bespectacled, ice-colored pearlcatcher, clutching a large book under one arm. She blinked back at the group, her long mane cascading down over one shoulder
HAIR EXSTENTION ITEM WHEN STAFF
but real talk i love every character introduced in this damn story
i love lightning so much.
Quote:
He peered into the cramped living quarters, scattered with books, parchment, quills, and several delicate-looking instruments of unknown purpose.
Even in the lightning flight the lightnign rep is stuck writing on god damn partchment with quill and ink.
you'd think they'ed invent the type writer at the very least
Quote:
She offered a claw, and Chasem smiled dumbly as he bumped her delicate talons with his broad paw.
LOOK HOW THEY DO THE HAND SHAKE
LOOK HOW THEY DO THE HAND SHAKE
I CAN'T. THE SIZE DIFFERENCE!!!THEY ALSO REFUR TO CLAWS AS PAWS!!!
YESSS!!!!! I'VE BEEN DOING THIS RIGHT!!!!!!
Quote:
Gertrude looked overjoyed and Chasem’s heart melted a little
MAAANNNN
GERTUDE!!!!!!!!
Quote:
So...can I get you a cup of cactus tea? I just put a kettle on,” she said, moving over to her cupboard for a mug.
“Oh, that sounds fantastic!” Chasem exclaimed with entirely too much enthusiasm. After a moment of embarrassment, he went to ask Flick and Dib if they’d like some tea, too.

as someone who has worked in an environment where both tea and coffee is rediaboly avoidable to aid with productivity I can confirm that it is very often that if someone prefurs tea they will initiate with offering you tea. Vice versa with coffee
so
my dear workers
I am proud to announce that
Coffee addiction soft confirmed for Lightning Cannon
and at thE VERY LEAST
MUGS CONFIRMED FOR CANNON
THE PERFECT CONTRAPTION FOR HOT BEVRAGES
LIKE COFFEE
Quote:
cactus tea?
cactus farming soft confirmed
cactus vodka not out of range of possibilities
We are dealing with "the Russia" of the flight rising world after all.
Quote:
It wasn't all grueling. If they exhausted the day's work plans, they would spend time with Gertrude, and they all became accustomed with brewing cactus tea. Over the course of the project, the small mage's initially standoffish demeanor relaxed into a bubbly curiosity and a penchant for oversharing. She was undeniably interested in the work happening outside her humble quarters, and seemed genuinely pleased to have other dragons around. Chasem occasionally walked with her if the opportunity presented itself when breaks from work and the storms coincided, listening to her talk about her job as an Oculus assistant magister.
I want a part two so badly with these guys.
Quote:
The chief hopped excitedly toward the site, which was not a behavior she typically exhibited
Quote:
Flick and Dib were overjoyed by the news of a raise, but Chasem wasn’t as enthused. He turned to Gertrude, who looked like she was trying very hard not to be upset. He gave her a smile, “I’ll be sure to visit on my unscheduled days.”
I NEED A PART TWO WITH THIS CAST
**** IM CRYING IRL ****
Quote:
Chasem turned and left, hoping no one noticed his blush.
……………………………………………………………
okay that changes their biology a lot actually. They'ed have skin.
they developed (or where given) the ability to blush to souly have better interaction skills.

watch this 2 minnet video.
but
because i know people wont actualy click on it im just going to copy and past ethe transcrip
Quote:
in every culture and every ethnicity around the world people blush. but animals don't and it's not just that most animals faces are covered in fur and feathers and stuff so we can't see them blushing. they actually don't blush. Charles Darwin called blushing the most
peculiar and most human of all
expressions which is awesome but why do
we blush physiologically we understand
it I mean we get the mechanics of why
your face turns red when Burnie sneaks
up behind you and pulls your pants down
in front of the whole rest of the
marching band
Bernice anyway your face turns red
because your sympathetic nervous system
kicks in that's the network of nerves
that controls your fight-or-flight
response when it's triggered it signals
the release of adrenaline and suddenly
your heart rate picks up and you start
breathing faster and then you're ready
to run away your pupils dilate and blood
rushes to your brain so you can take in
as much information as possible and your
blood vessels dilate in a process called
vasodilation to improve oxygen flow it's
basically the same effect you get from
warming up before a workout but in the
very hypothetical instance of my pants
being pulled down the blood vessels in
my face were responding specifically to
a chemical transmitter called adenylyl
cyclase it basically tells the blood
vessels in your face to let the
adrenaline in the weird thing is that
these same superficial blood vessels in
your face aren't usually affected by
sympathetic responses I mean we don't
blush when we're scared if we did that
might be a sign that blushing served
some sort of survival purpose but it
only happens when we're not actually in
danger so like why well some scientists
believe that blushing evolved is a
social survival trait when you blush
then the person who's angry you can see
that you're really sorry and the person
who's laughing at you can see that
you're visibly embarrassed if that
sounds weird just think about the last
time your dog chewed on the furniture
then rolled onto its back when you got
mad lots of animals have evolved this
sort of behavior so they can say hey
whoa I messed up I feel terrible and
it's really hard to stay mad at your dog
when it does that that's how you know
it's working we may never know for sure
why blushing became a thing but it could
just be our way of saying sorry for
chewing on the furniture

Chasem the snapper was able to glance at the whole crowd of dragons and relized none of them look familiar.
That's impressive.
