Nothing like a good chitchat to start the day.

– smalltalk_points: panel, tall – Smalltalk points out the ridge, under the misty clouds that look a bit less like brackets now. The early morning thermal starting to lift gently from the hillside, implying conditions may improve soon.

@bubble: “Look at those streaks of wind on the grass, on the hillside.”

– wind_impatient: panel, square – Wind, clearly anxious to launch, listens impatiently as the adults discuss conditions calmly.

@bubble: “Yeah, should we launch now? I think I could have caught that one.”

@GML.bubble: “Be patient, Wind. It is still too light. See this green dragon?”

– green_dragon: panel, wide, large – A striking, iridescent green dragon swoops dramatically toward the hilltop, startling the group.

@dragon: A metallic green dragon, iridescent, with a hint of blue and gold in the sunlight. It’s a bit smaller than a hang glider, with a sleek, aerodynamic design. It looks a bit too precise, to be biological, but it is not a drone either. It is a dragon, and it is alive.

– green_dragon_arrival: panel, square – The dragon lands somewhat abruptly, scattering dust and causing slight disarray among gear and group members.
