Storyline
A dangerous dragon thief is on the loose. No one knows if they're male or female, what they look like, or where they're hiding. But everyone knows the name - Blood. They come in the night to steal riches and gold, and disappear without a trace. But if one unlucky dragon comes across them in the middle of a raid, they never live to tell the tale. Victims are brutally murdered, and their faces blasted with bone-melting flame. It's an arms race to catch the culprit, and the stakes are high. It's either death or an unimaginable reward. Why do you hunt for the thief? Or have you been working with them all along?

RPer's theories
~ None so far

Please put the character name, location, and any possible gore/trigger warnings at the top of posts.

Characters WILL be injured and CAN die, but don't kill another person's character without permission. Please ping everyone for important posts, such as a theory, big event, return from hiatus, or if you have questions/need help.

You can use/make NPCs as needed, but don't interact excessively.

Currency is in treasures, like gold/silver coins, precious metals, statues, jewelry, gems, animal pelts, etc.

Occasionally I will make posts from the perspective of Blood to keep things moving plotwise. Hehe....

We can all start in the marketplace if it's easier to meet others that way.

(This post is for stuff I find I need to clarify later.)

Tsun
Marketplace, running his booth
"There you go! Have a nice day," the large drake handed a gold necklace to a smaller, dark dragoness, who thanked him politely and went on her way. The exchange was quick and pleasant, and Tsun leaned on the counter to await his next customer. Where was Ember? She was supposed to be back ages ago, but Tsun knew she never took orders. He drummed his talons lightly, humming a bit to himself. She would be fine, he hoped.

Ember
Marketplace
Ugh. The red dragoness snarled at a few passersby who came too close, smiling to herself as they turned away with a few yelps. They must be new if they had the guts to approach her. Turning the bend into a new row of booths and tents, she scanned around for anyone selling jewels of sorts. Tsun wanted emeralds for his latest project, finding he'd been out for some time. The leather satchel at Ember's side felt heavy from Tsun's offerings, which were trusted to her for distribution at her discretion. No one knew their worth better than she did.

Levrek
runing their shop - Marketplace

Humming an happy tune, the larger twin was busying himself setting the new batch of cupcakes, cookies and candies into their respective places on the shelves. It was a bit early for sweets but the smells would waste no time attracting customers. Once everything in place Levrek give himself a nod of aprouval and carefully made his way back to the front, ready to great any potential customers.

Alrun
runing their shop - Marketplace

While his brother was busying himself with potential cliants, and not tripping on himself again, Alrun was checking inventory and making the list of thing they will nead to restock. His smaller size and better coordination was perfect to check the storage without having to move anything wtich was alwais a plus to avoid interacting with unnown dragons, he was fine with the regulars but wasn't as friendly as his brother so avoided interactions if possible.

Karahua
On the roof of a large home, overlooking the market.

Kara was laying on a roof, basking in the sun. She usually did this to start her day. Hailing from the desert, she loved the feeling of the warm rays on her back and wings.

She shifted, her forked tongue sliding out of her mouth with a hiss, bringing back any smells in the air for Kara to decifer. She smelled something sweet. Her eyes blinked open and here neck raised from the sleeping position it was in before, washing away any sleepiness she had. Unbeknownst to most dragons, Kara had a major sweet tooth.

She stood up quietly, holding herself up with her wings before jumping off the roof and gliding down into to streets to find where that wonderful smell was coming from.

Ember
Marketplace
Ember's stomach rumbled. Not again! She'd only eaten an hour or two ago! Nevertheless, she felt her nose drawing her in the direction of food-like scents. A shop, not too far away, seemed to be the source, where she could see a tall dark drake standing there.

A shadow swooped overhead, and Ember looked up to watch. Were they attracted by the smells too? Something about the flying dragon's build caught her attention, and she took a step back, startled. Was it who she thought it was? Ember rarely saw her at this hour, in the marketplace, generally avoiding if she could. But she supposed there was no harm this time.

(Tsun is open for anyone who wants.)

Levrek

As friendly as ever, he wave at the two aproching dragons. He woudn't go to meet them directly, mainly because his brother would throw a fit if Levrek left his post to chase down others dragons, but was more then ready to start a discutions with them once they would be close enough.

Alrun

Emerging from the back, the smaller twin went to check the ovens stopping half way with a sigh. "Levrek, tail..." He stated blankly as he noticed that the larger dragon had his tail a bit too close to it's back leg for someone that bad with coordination. The dark scaled dragon shuckle slightly and corrected it once reminded and Alrun went back to what he was originaly doing.

Karahua
Marketplace

Kara landed on her back legs, then folded her wings and placed them under herself to keep from falling over. She looked around, her forked tongue still flicking in and out of her mouth every-so-often to try and figure out where that nice smell was coming from. It took her a few seconds before pin-pointing a small shop selling sweets. She smiled and started walking over to the shop.

Kara stopped before she got there, though. She saw a familiar dragon up ahead. A red dragoness. She waves to her, "Oh, hello. Fancy seeing you here. I was hungry and wanted something sweet. The aroma of this shop really carries!" She said, attempting a normal sounding conversation. The other red dragoness seemed a bit frightened, but in truth Kara meant her no harm.

Ruhan
At the forge
I paced around in the back area of the forge waiting for the dragon to finish fixing my daggers. "Hurry up I don't like staying in one place for long." I shout at her not wanting to go out into the open and get caught. I go back to my pacing listing to the clanking of the hammer against the metal.
------------------------
Zanet
At her forge working
I sighed and took the blades and dunked them into the water. "They're almost finished so calm down and stop your pacing." I say walking towards him as I lay his daggers on my table in the back. "I will need my money. I can also go get some supplies from the market for you if you pay me a bit more." I offer knowing I need some more materials also.

Levrek

" We just pulled out the cupcakes from the oven, it never fail to bring people over. Comme in, if it's some sweet you want you will definitively found what you are looking for." Levrek said happilly, not too bothered by the slight ackwardness of the newcomers but blaming his look for her reaction. " My name is Levrek, please tell me if you nead help with somthing."
