Ask the Student Six - Asks 351 - 360

Gallus: Lookin’ good there ‘Cell!

Silverstream: WOW! Is that your character for our upcoming campaign?

Ocellus: Yuh-huh! Gallus made it for me to paint. I’m not very good at painting but he told me to do it anyway

Gallus: Can’t get better if you never do it.

Smolder: You do realise you now have to make one for each of us, right?

Yona: Does Yona have to tell Griffon about her Yaks story?

Sandbar: I think if you just give him the basics, he’d be fine.

Yona: Yes! Yona will go get her book now!

Sandbar: Wait.... book?

Smolder: Go big or go home. Yaks never do anything half-way. I’ve seen her writing this character for weeks.

Smolder: So yeah, that sounds pretty accurate for Silver.

Ocellus: Except for her back legs of course, which are hooved.

Gallus: Which seems so weird to me. Being unable to wriggle my hind paws just sounds wrong...

Smolder: Agreed. How do you survive as a species?

Sandbar: Um... hello? Some of us are purely hooved creatures and we do alright! Right Yona?

Yona: Yeah! Hooves are best!

Silverstream: Chirp chirp.

Smolder: Yeah, wiping us out within thirty minutes wasn’t fun.

Gallus: Well you shouldn’t have just wandered into an unknown corridor without using your abilities in advance.

Sandbar: It was only the second corridor they encountered. Putting an army of raging mutant puckwudgies there was a little bit harsh.

Gallus: The signs were all there if you looked for them.

Ocellus: ANYWAY. I’m really looking forward to the next game! Are we still on for tomorrow night?

Yona: Yes! Yona ready to smash and charge and smash some more!

Silverstream: Yeah! Although if you could charge between my character and the enemies, I’d really appreciate that Yona. Arrows hurt my little MagiGriff!

Yona: Yona promises no headbutting of walls this time to search for secrets.

Ocellus: Every three paces.

Sandbar: Hey, isn’t that Yona’s blanket?

Silverstream: Yuh-huh! Yona lent it to Ocellus. the poor girl looked frozen to bits!

Gallus: I don’t get it. Why don’t you just transform into something warm. Like a Dragon, or a Polar bear?

Ocellus: Cold temperatures, for some reason, mess with Changeling magic. I could change but I can’t get it completely right.

Yona: So changeling would turn into a bald bear?

Ocellus: Not exactly. Just I wouldn’t feel any warmer than I do now!

Smolder: And I guess you’d not feel any better as a Dragon too

Ocellus: No, I just get heartburn from being a Dragon.

Smolder: I cannot tell if you’re joking or not under all that wool.

Ocellus: Awww Yona! *hugs the Yak* I didn’t know the blanket was so dear to you.

Gallus: I guess it’s normal for most creatures to have something like that which they value deeply from their cubhood.

Yona: Yes! Always good to have something from when young or when away from home.

Smolder: I didn’t have something like that. Granted - flammable objects weren’t popular in the Dragonlands - at least not in the way you’d think they would be.

Silverstream: Oooooh! *peers closely* Do youuu have a blankey Gaaaallllus?

Gallus: Huh? No! Gerrof' me.

Sandbar: Hah! You totally do! Quick Silver! Let’s go raid his room!

Yona: Yona thought Silverstream grew up as Seasausage.

Ocellus: -Seapony-

Silverstream: I did! Well, that didn’t stop me from sneaking back onto Mount Aris on occasion. I got told off a lot for doing that!

Smolder: You snuck away from your family for cookies?

Silverstream: Well you can’t get cookies underwater! They get all soggy.

Gallus: I quite like soft biscuits.

Sandbar: Myeh. I prefer the crumbly ones myself.

Gallus: Try preening feathers caked in crumbs and you’ll find a whole new appreciation for my preference.

Sandbar: I’ll get right on that with the wings i don’t have. *rolls eyes*

Sandbar: I DON’T NEED PREENING PRACTICE!

Yona: So Dragon no want preen?

Smolder: Well you’re welcome to give ‘em a massage if you’re bored. Muscles are muscles.

Yona: Yona gives best massages, Smolder will see!

Gallus: Isn’t preening a sort of.... intimate... thing though? Why would creatures openly ask to preen or be preened?

Silverstream: Wait... really? It’s a normal thing in Hippogriff culture! Everygriff helps each other! Flying is so important! Gotta look after ourselves! What about you ‘Celly?

Ocellus: Changeling wings are quite fragile but they can repair themselves very quickly! We’d still prefer not to damage them to begin with though.

Smolder: I’ve got an extra pad of post-it notes we can use!

Ocellus: You know, I’m right in front of you. If you need to tell my anything, you can say it.

Silverstream: *giggles* I know! But it’s fun. Your horn is so spiky I just want to poke and prod it.

Gallus: Plus, as demonstrated, makes an amazing note-collection.

Sandbar: Huh, who put the recipe up here? What did it make?

Ocellus: Pancakes.

Yona: Yona wondered where paper went. Yona wasn’t able to finish her baking for ages!

Ocellus: I’m sure it would’ve just ended up on my face as well... *humphs*

Sandbar: That pun was snow terrible.

Ocellus: *pouts* I tried!

Gallus: I blame the cold.

Smolder: Strange that the most dictionary-like of all of us struggles at word-plays.

Silverstream: Huh? I thought it was funny!

Yona: So did Yona!

Ocellus: Humph! At least I know who here appreciates me *throws a snowball at Sandbar*

Smolder: No.

Sandbar: ...Pretty Please?

Smolder: Let me think ab- No.

Gallus: Aren’t you cold, Silver?

Silverstream: Freezing!

Gallus: So why don’t you put on a scarf or hat... or something?

Silverstream: That ruins the point of the cold! If I’m warm, then the cold I touch will be less cold.And we want it to be cold!

Ocellus: I really doubt you putting on a hat and scarf will contribute to a net increase in temperature.

Yona: But friend Silverstream does not have net

Ocellus: No, I mean-

Smolder: Good idea Yona! Let’s get a net and scoop up this snow! It’ll make a great way to ambush somecreature!
