Pretty baby dragons

[schneefink]

Today LB and I made our first Christmas cookies of the year. A new recipe, coconut macaroons with chocolate filling, they are not excellent but they are good.
Dad made roast pork <3 With bread dumplings and sauerkraut (not exactly sauerkraut but translating kitchen words is hard.) He's already an expert at roast pork and gets better every time.

A third of my choir visited the already much smaller refugee camp at Vienna's central train station and we sang a few songs from last year (this year's songs aren't good enough yet.) It was nice, I'm pretty sure they enjoyed it.

I started playing Flight Rising, because pretty dragons! At first it was a bit confusing, but fortunately myrdschaem and forests_of_fire helped me out and then I discovered that Wind Flight is amazingly helpful and generous.
My first association with "dragon clan" were the Pit Dragon chronicles by Jane Yolen, where humans breed dragons, so it took me a few days to go from that to independent sapient dragon clans in my head. (Breeding for specific genes still feels a bit weird in this context, eh, handwaving.)
I already have several very pretty dragons in my lair. I can't not make up stories about them, and it's fun. Maybe one day I'll write more about my dragon stories, or actually write my dragon stories, but I wanted to post today because the twins grow up tomorrow. I have two beautiful blue male Skydancer babies from my second nest and I want to show them off :)

Ooooh. Xaran is gorgeous.

I don't breed for specific genes either, outside of the genes that you get achievements for. I breed mostly for money. /greedy fuck XD

Thank you! :D
I just bought a pair of female Skydancers, I will have many Skydancer babies :)

There are achievements for genes? Neat. I'm still at the "I'll just try things out and do whatever I want" stage.

[worlds_of_smoke]

hahah. I'm the same way with Tundra. NEVAR ENUFF TUNDRA.

Yeah, you can get points for some of the tertiary genes, like gembond and circuit.

[schneefink]

I don't even have any Tundra dragons yet. Soon! Maybe. I don't know yet how I'll manage giving dragons away. Maybe take pictures of all of them jic.

Neat! Not that points are useful for anything, afaik? Still ^^

[worlds_of_smoke]

I'm pretty heavy on tundras and snappers. Coatls and nocturnes are starting to gain on them, though. XD

Nyah. It's just a tracking system for "hey, you did this. yay!"

[schneefink]

I have a tundra dragon now! Isn't she the prettiest? :D

[worlds_of_smoke]

oooh. she is!

[myrdschaem]

I'm super glad you enjoy Flight Rising so farand that I have infected another person with the pretty dragon obsession. :D
I know I'm a bit late, but did you see the butterfly release? I'm pondering on how who to give one to already, mytreasure hoard will hate me. The dev team is very devious.

[schneefink]

I saw it! Currently too expensive for me though, maybe I'll buy one later. I recently started experimenting with alchemy and playing around in the coliseum, that keeps me busy :)

[myrdschaem]

Yeah, I balk at the costs. MAybe I'll just wait a bit and buy some hatchlings for breeding. :D

I'm sure it does! I'm busy making fashionable mushrooms in alchemy, they look very fun!

[schneefink]

I'm not there yet, but one day :)
