Welcome to Gaia! ::

If you look at it a certain way, everyday could be Valentine's day as far as mini wyverns are concerned. If a bright flit catches your eye, offer the tastiest and juiciest of fruits to lure that one to your nest. Should fruits fail, the most colorful of seashells or shiniest of rocks might serve you better.

This kind of thing is an daily occurrence in the life of a little wyv.

Nonetheless, this kind of thing happens much more often in spring as other creatures' thoughts turn to this sort of seasonal thing, and wyverns love a good excuse to show off and party.

I present to you, three swinging bachelors/bachelorettes.


Valentine is still young, and very in love with the idea of love.

Tuff Luff has been knocked around by romance, which has left it rather cynical, but not completely jaded.

H8ter, well, haters gonna hate. In fact, it hates you, and thinks your momma dresses you funny. (It hates her too)

Keeping in mind those personality traits, tell me how these three spend their Valentine's Day.

Rules:
- You may only enter once. Entries will not be collected until close, so you may edit your posts before then.
- The winner is allowed to keep one of the three, and must find homes for the other two. (The remaining two cannot go to the same person!)
-The only thing set in stone is the predetermine personalities. All other details are open, provided it fits the shop setting. (They could all be male members of the same flight, but they couldn't start shooting lazer beams or talking on cell phones.)
- This event will close at 12 pm EST on Sunday, February 20.

Valentine waits for her one true love to find her, wistfully perched on a branch or rock, gazing dreamily into the sky. She loves being showered with gifts from Tuff Luff and accepts them with a innocent giggle, but thinks nothing more of it.

Tuff Luff tries so hard to win over Valentine, but his attempts are falling on deaf ears. Nothing he does seems to change her mind about him.

H8ter is the one that has to put up with a very emo and whiney Tuff Luff, always trying to discourage him from trying farther, which, much to H8ter's annoyance, only seems to make Tuff Luff want to try even harder to win over Valentine.

So while Tuff Luff flaps off to find a bigger and even better gift, H8ter lays on a rock wondering why he's even still around these two and Valentine lets several long lustful sighs escape into the evening.

Of course, its the time of love, so Valentine wants everyone to get in the mood! (No, not that kind of mood... ) A fairly bubbly male he flits about gathering pretty flowers and fruits, the fruits are gifts of course, but the flowers.. they are decoration!

Approaching Tuff Luff he sets a flower on the other wyvern's head and giggles, but a moment later, Tuf Luff takes the flower off and sets it down. "It wont stay on and it will only wilt, its best to put them in a dewdrop, they will last longer.

Despondent that Tuff Luff wasn't into the day, Valentine flew over to H8ter, setting a pretty little flower on the male's head, just as he had done to TuffLuff. H8ter scowls at valentine, turns and goes off to graze, but the flower stays put! Pleased with his work, Valenine spends the rest of the day decorating their cave, giggling every time he looked over at H8ter with his little pink flower.

As the day begins, it's seen that there is one of the lonely three flitting about. "Such a dear day~" The small flighted scaled being chirped, doing a loop as he moved toward the resting perches of his two dearest friends. Tuff Luff and H8ter, he held them both so dear.

"Time to wake up dear friends!" Valentine chirped, glowing with joy. The pair stirred, one moving to sleep through the day as was her wish, and the other not knowing what day it was exactly.

"Too early Valentine." Tuff growled, frowning at his friend. He had no idea why the pink male was glowing, but was rather sure that he'd not like it. "You're gunna fall."

And fall the pink one did. But he returned a moment later. "It's the day of love! Come friends! We must move out! I wish to find my truest mate upon this day!"

There was a grumble from H8ter, who glared over. "You still think that mushy gushy junk is real? Pah." she didn't like anything it seemed. After so many scoutings with him it became apparent that she was only around because he'd grown up and promised to stay with the other two before she found that the world sucked eggs.

Tuff rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to her. We got anything left for breakfast?" He moved to check, testing his wings before taking off. Valentine was a bit downcast from the words of H8ter, but had found that she was just a grump by now.

"Cheer up! I bet you'll find love as well!" He chirped, moving to nuzzle his friend and then leave to help Tuff. The female rolled her eyes and curled back up. "Stupid day."

Meanwhile, Tuff was staring at their pile of food. "This is IT!?" He looked to the approaching Valentine. "I thought you said we were set for WEEKS!" The pink one looked nervous.

"Oh...I said that? Oopsies..." And then he took flight. "I'll get more~!" 'And search for a mate. I know I'll find love today... and someone for Tuff and H8ter as well!' And then he was off. Tuff shook his head and moved to take off.

"Might as well go out looking too..." The image of a female he'd met a few days before flashed in his mind. "Maybe...I'll say hi... just hi." He flew up to inform H8ter, who was already asleep again. "Ah...lazy..." He sighed. "Wake up." He tickled H8ter's nose with some leaves.

She woke with a sneeze. "Hey! I'm SLEEPING." She hissed, frowning. "Go away, do something that's NOT bothering me!" Tuff shook his head. "What's with THAT look?"

"I'm going gathering, and with that attitude, you're coming too. Deal with it." He took to the sky and hovered, tail rapping the stone walls until H8ter took flight as well.

"I'll get you for this." She grumbled, following his lead. "Bah....stupid day."

It was Valentine’s Day, and all the wyverns were trying to woo everyone else with the yummiest fruits and the prettiest shinies. One particular wyvern, named Valentine, was feeling rather sad. While she was excited about this day, her friend Tuff Luff wasnt so. Tuff Luff seemed rather sad about today, feeling blue because he had no special wyvern to share it with, and no one seemed interested in him. And then she had a idea; she would go out and find a wyvern just for him, his one true love!

Tuff luff was doubtful that the young valentine would be able to find him his ‘true loves’, and he said this to her numerous times, saying she shouldn’t bother going out by herself. It was too dangerous But Valentine insisted, saying that no one should have to be alone on Valentine ’s Day. And so she flew off from their cavern, Tuff luff watching her go and pretending her didn’t care….Well. at least he thought he was pretending…

As the hours passed, and the young wyvern did not return, Tuff Luff idly wondered what was taking her so long. Not that he cared. As if she would be able to find him a partner, he had looked all over for one but he had been rejected every time. However…she had been nice enough to think of him, and she was now trying to find him someone, even though he told her not to. And soon he found himself beginning to worry. Was she alright? Was she safe? It wasn’t long before he went out in search of his missing flight member.

The wyvren flew and flew, looking for any sign of her. And then, he heard of sudden cry for help. It was Valentine! She had been taken by surprise by a Tawny Raptor, and now she had injured her wing. The great beast was almost upon her now as she lay on the ground, it circling overhead. Tuff luff then sprang into action, flying at the predator. Although he was much smaller, he was able to distract the Tawny Raptor, allowing Valentine to crawl for cover. But before he could fly away, the great beast caught up with the wyvern, and with a might whack of its wing it knocked him out of the sky!

Valentine could only watch as her friend fell into a dense set of bushes, the Tawny Raptor flying after it. She sat still and hoped that he had somehow survived, but when she didn’t not see him emerge from the bushes, she began to weep for her lost friend. But then she heard of squeak from behind, and she wished around to see… Tuff luff! He had survived! The two wyvern were reunited, happy to see each other again, and thankful they were both safe now, they both journeyed back to their home. And even though Valentine hadn’t been able to find him a partner, it seemed their little adventure had brought the two closer together, both realizing how much they loved each other…

As for H8er?

He wanted nothing to do with this stupid sappy valentines crap and slept the entire day >(

Thank you all for participating and please forgive the delay.

After much consideration and debate, our winner is and be blue!

I felt that Blue's entry perfectly captured the personality aspects of each wyvern. And that little twist at the end! It made me melt and go "Aww" though I don't think H8ter would appreciate that.

Be sure to tell me which of the trio you're keeping, and who's recieving the other two. <3

However, I was also really impressed by poke mattix's story! It was exciting and made good use of the background information about the shop's setting.

For that, you've been awarded a lost egg!

For everyone else, I loved all your stories. Everyone had such different ideas and I love seeing how people interpret things. Everyone else will have ten shinies added to their account. Reply to this topic with your offsite user name so they are added.

Congratz everyone! I like how really, everyone walks away a winner biggrin
