"Not necessarily" Charlie said "We could give him to the Port Rayal Snowdome. That place is cold all year round"

"What do you think boy? You wanna become a real Ice dragon and live in the port Royal Snowdome?" Pondera asked.

The Ice Dragon seemed pleased by this prospect.

"Well I suggest we take him there now" Charlie said "Give him chance to get used to the place while there's no visitors. We should be able to get to Port Rayal easy, we could take the overhead railway."

OOC: That wasn't a Misspelling, It is actually called Port Rayal, Yet another Rubbish pun.

OOC: I see I see said the blind man to his deaf wife.

IC:

"It'll also give him time to transmute into an actual dragon instead of a simple animated ice sculpture." Pondera said.

"But what of the parents? Sure we're old enough to go as we please, but shouldn't we leave them a note or something?" Jezeel asked.

"I'll take care of that" Carol said, holding a pen and paper she had conjured out of thin air
"Dear Mum and Dad, Gone to take an Ice Dragon to the Port Rayal Snowdome, be back soon, love C,C,J and P"
She said as she wrote

"Alright Charlie, it was your idea, you lead the way." Pondera said as energy began to glimmer in the Ice Dragon.

"Right, Lets walk down the railway to the docks, that's where our nearest overhead railway station is" Charlie said heading to the bottom of the garden

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 2:48 am

Pondera, Jezeel, and the Ice Dragon followed along.

With Carol bringing up the rear, having locked the house up.
Charlie Hopped over the fence at the end of the garden and scrambled up the embankment.
"If a train comes, make sure you're well out of the way" He said

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 2:59 am

"We will." Pondera promised.

The Route Charlie took them on was the same as the way Carol took Pondera to the books warehouse, howerver, just before the wearhouse he turned left and walked them all under a large Iron Viaducts, on which the overhead railway ran.
"This old thing has been here since 1893" Charlie said conversationally

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:29 am

"Amazing." Pondera said.

"I hope it's been kept in good repair, possibly even updated a time or two." Jezeel said.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:41 am

"Repaired yes" Carol said "Updated, Partially. The Rolling stock does have sliding doors."
By now they were approaching the Ground entrance for the station

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:50 am

"Good to know." Pondera said.

"So, up those stairs then?" Jezeel asked.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:57 am

"Yep" Charlie said.
He lead them up the stairs to the ticket office and bought four returns and a single to Port Rayal.
The station itself was still in it's origional form, and had ovbiously been lovingly restored to It's former glory quite recently. An enamal sign on the platform fence declared,
"The Restoration of the South-East Coast Overhead Railway was proudly funded by Blue Star Liners in Association with the Floor Kippers Industrial Heritage Preservation Board"

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:02 am

"Nice to know someone cares enough to keep it in good order." Pondera said.

"Not really surprising. Some things are worth preseving, like the ancestral meeting grounds in Amazonia. We may not dance naked around bonfires in there anymore, but we still keep it for the history." Jezeel said.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:06 am

"This nation is really for That sort of thing" Charlie said "We preserve and restore all sorts of stuff"

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:12 am

"Yeah. Just to share the joy, the only reason we stopped dancing naked around the bonfire, was because my mother joined in and started dancing around the bonfire naked." JEzeel said.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:15 am

"I suppose Now you could start all that again" Charlie said "Now that things have changed"

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:22 am

"No one really remembers the old ceremonies anyway, and Arianna hasn't responded in so very long." Jezeel said, almost reproachfully while looking at Carol.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:38 am

"I think it's worth one more try" Carol said casually "You never know, Arianna might respond this time"

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:46 am

"Wellll.... Ok. But no naked dancing. We can't remember the point of it anyway, or the ceremony that went with it." Jezeel said.

"Self-confidence, and shatting bad mental images about one's own body proving that ugliness truely only exists on the inside." Pondera said.

"Oh." Jezeel said, suddenly feeling very bad that they had stopped the whole thing when Mother had joined.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:56 am

"So I, I mean, Arianna will be expecting Naked dancing" Carol said "Okay?"

by **Warhaven** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 5:05 am

"Alright fine." Jezeel said.

Then she smiled.

"But the Temple will be restored by Arianna's hand alone. That point is non-negotiable." Jezeel said firmly.

"Ooohhhh, no Warfare to help? What with modern viewpoints and all?" Pondera asked.

"Oh, I suppose so then." Jezeel said.

by **The Floor Kippers** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 5:26 am

"That's a relief" Carol said.
Just then the train arrived.
