"Well, if you need any supplies, just tell me," Seth said. "It can't just be us having these problems. I bet a bunch of people are having to deal with this. We'll figure something out."

"Thanks," Andy replied. She was quiet for a moment before speaking again. "Is it bad if I'm happy it's not just us having these issues?" She made a mental note to see if here were any other trainers with dragons hanging out outside of town because they couldn't fit inside. She didn't want to be the only one.

"No," Seth said with a chuckle. "I'm finding this kind of funny right now. Besides all the worrying and what the hell is going on crap, it's kinda funny."

"True," Andy said. Looking off into the distance, she could barely see a town. "Well, at least now we can tell there are others," she commented, gesturing to the few large, colored lumps around the town. "Dragons are getting more popular lately."

"Or at least more visible." Seth chuckled merrily. "This could turn out to be very fun."

"Or problematic," Andy added. She squinted a bit. "I think someone over there has a Maximus," she commented when she saw a massive red and gold dragon. "They're the only ones I know of that big and that colorful." Carefully, she made her way closer to Temeraire's head, so he could hear her. "Land over there, Temmy!"

"With the other dragons?" he asked.

"Might as well," Andy replied. "Company and all that, someone for you to talk to."

"Alright, then," Temeraire said, adjusting his course slightly so they were headed towards the town. Lien did the same, following him.

Seth sat back to wait, both of his bishis looking tense and nervous. As soon as they landed, he helped Olivia and Van Helsing down before he followed them, sighing as his feet touched the ground.

Belle wandered over, the rest of her group still getting down. "Well, that was interesting," she said with a grin. "Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of bishis today."

"Well, let me know if you see anyone interesting," Andy said as she leaved against Temeraire's hide. The black dragon was already engaged in a conversation with one of the other dragons in the area, and Lien looked like she was listening in. "I need to stay with them. Keep me posted on anything you find?"

"Will do," Belle said, grinning a little. "I'll see if I can find a hotel close enough to the gates that we can stay there, and you won't be uncomfortable. Is there anything you want me to keep an eye open for? Supplies, food, clothes, whatever?"

"If you can find such a hotel, great," Andy said. "If not, it's not like I haven't camped out on my own before." Out of habit, she tried to check her gear for any news updates, but was reminded that she wasn't on the network. Tucking it back into her pocket, she made herself comfortable against Temeraire. "I think I'm alright on supplies for now... At least, on things that I don't need to get for myself. You know, jeans, female things and the like..."

Belle nodded. "Right. Well, we're going to go search, and I'll bring back food and we can eat. Hopefully there will be a hotel pretty close by. If I find anything, I'll come get you."

"Sounds like a plan," Andy said. She paused, and glanced up at her dragons before looking back at Belle. "If you happen to stumble across a decent-looking bookstore, could you bring me back something? I think these two are going to be chatting for a while."

Belle grinned and nodded. "No worries about that," she said. "I've got some of those new PD storage things, and I've got lots of books. Here." She rifled through a case for a few moments before she pulled out two little boxes. "Set them on the ground first, and feel free to rifle through them as much as you want."

"You're amazing," Andy said as she started to dig through the books. "Let's see how much reading material we have in common..."

Belle laughed and waved, leaving her to go digging through all her books. She and Seth and their bishis wandered into town to go find somewhere to stay and get food.

Once Andy found something to read, she made herself comfortable against one of her dragons. Eventually, Temeraire got bored talking to the dragons belonging to other trainers and settled in to relax.

Belle and Seth returned a few hours later, both grinning.

"Well, we got food," Seth said, holding up a few bags.

"And found a nice hotel to stay at. It's pretty close by, no more than a quarter of a mile." Belle grinned. "They've cleared it specially for trainers with dragons and other such big creatures that can't get into the town."

"Really?" Andy said, looking up from her second book. "That's pretty cool." She made a mental note of what page she was on and closed the book. "And I think Mouse has just gone up about a thousand cool points in my mind, just because he can talk. And that was the worst ending I've ever seen. Anyways, I should probably take these two out and find them something to eat before we settle in for the night, so they don't try to leave themselves."

"Yeah, I know!" Belle huffed. "Go ahead. We'll go get a couple of rooms, and I'll leave one of my boys here to show you were the rooms are. Sound good?"

"That sounds like a plan," Andy agreed. "I'll see you in a little bit, then." Gesturing to her group, they all made their way up onto the dragons, and said dragons took off.

It didn't take long for them to find a suitable lake for fishing, and the two dragons managed to catch a pair of fish without dropping anyone into the lake. Andy was kind of impressed at that as they headed back to the town.

"You two should be alright out here for the night," she said when they landed. "The hotel is pretty close to here, as far as I know, so a good shout will get my attention, I bet."

"Do not worry about us," Lien said. "We shall be fine."

"I'm just saying, if you need me you know how to get my attention," Andy said. Lien rolled her eyes, but Temeraire nodded.

Belle and Seth got three rooms, one for each of them, and settled in. Belle had Eclipse go get Andy and see if they were ready to leave.

Andy followed Belle's Eclipse back to the rooms, making sure to keep an eye on her group so none of them got seperated.

"I get the feeling that things are going to be a bit complicated until this technical issue is fixed," she commented.

"No kidding," Belle grumbled, sitting on one bed with Eclipse while Thomas and Lucifer squabbled over the second bed. "It's going to be very... interesting."

"I still want to know what's going on, but I figure there's nothing we can really do about it," Andy said. She let her group filter into their room and duke it out over the beds.

Belle nodded. "yeah, I know what you mean. It would be nice to have an idea of what was going on."
