“I’ve been calling them a they. Apparently it’s rude to ask! I’m not sure if that’s because it’s a secret or if because it should be obvious. After math club is done for the season I need to do some serious dragon research. I don’t even know if they HAVE, um, Dragonballs.”

"Oh...huh...I just sort of assumed, somehow."

"Oh, wow...yeah, I still wonder how you haven't been turned into dragon-chow."

"Maybe there's a Dreaming quest we could do...."

Zane snorts at the Dragonballs comments "It's over 9000"

“My stunning good looks, or maybe because I’m their ride.”

"Ready, Dagmar?" Gerd asks

"Yeah?"

Gerd puts a hand on Dagmar "Just me and here then. Be good guys"

Sylvi nods. "Best we don't all know where it is."

And, in the woods.... "Gerd, you gotta stay here. And not watch. Okay?"

Gerd nods and does not complain

She turns her back and waits

Meanwhile

"People come and so so quickly here" Jimmhy observes

Dag, of course, starts hiking for Klump's anchor.

Dagmar finds Klump there. Sitting like Rohdan's(Sp) thinker

Sylvi grins. "Yeah, well...speaking of modes of transportation...." She looks over the skateboard. "How long have you had this thing?"

"Hey Friend Klump."

"I forget" Jimmy says "Meant to return it so must have been a while"

Klump smiles, "Hello, Dagmar. YOu do well?"

"I do okay. Came to ask you for some help, if you're willing."

Klump tilts his head "For my friend? Happily. For one who helped save my anchor... always"

"I never really tried it out. My dad said if a mortal saw me riding it, it might pop me into the Dreaming with no silver path in reach...so I guess I figured it was too risky. But...would be kind of handy, if I used it right...."

...says Sylvi to Jimmy as she carefully steps on the board.

The board floats up

with Sylvi on it.

JImmy smiles "Parents always see the downside"

"Whoa...okay....okay, cool, so far...." She tries leaning forward a bit.

"Well, this has to do with the Axe Lady. She sent somebody else, but we have a thing of his... it sounds like keys, it might be useful, so we don't want to destroy it. We do want to hide it, and hide it so it can't reveal much by scrying. Maybe underground, somewhere deep?"

And ZIIPP Sylvi shoots. Good thing she is NOT facing Jimmy's house or she'd be going through the kitchen wall

A yelp! And she tries to balance out to slow or stop the thing. She wasn't expecting that.

Holding out a massive hand, Klump actually smiles "I shall hold it as tightly as excalibur was gripped, and I shall place it in a place so deep she could see a league and find only gray stone in sight"

"you gotta press a bit on the back but slow..." Jimmy says as if he knows exactly how it works

"Awesome!" She grins back, and offers out the card.

Sylvi follows the directions and manages to get the thing under control.

The glome takes it and it sinks into his arm as the stone man's hand. Then "it is done"

"See, that's cool magic..."

Sylvi's cheerleading skills lend her the balance she needs and yeah, sooon she's got it very under control indeed.

"It is part of who I am, but then, I am magic" Klump smiles "They will see nothing"

"Thank you so much!" Klump gets a hug.

Sylvi turns the thing around and carefully eases back over to Jimmy before hopping off and catching the board in her hand. "You didn't just take it...you've been riding on it!"

THe hug is returned . Klump says "You are welcome, little one. Your soul is as strong as your body. And you use that strength well. I am ..honored to know you"

"Heh. You're the only person to call me little. You're a good friend. I can't stay, though - Gerd's here, and I don't want to leave her alone."

Jimmy coughs and looks at his feet.

Zane goes "Oh come on, of course he did. Who wouldn't? IT FLIES"

"Well...okay, true. It's cool, Jimmy, no harm, no foul." Sylvi offers out a hand to shake.

Klump nods "I will be here. Go see to your kinswoman. The time for shields is now I fear. And I worry some of you will be broken, but if any can with stand the challenge, it is the steel of Rivervale"

"Thanks for being cool about it" JImmy shakes the hand

"I'm not worried. Everybody's amazing, right? We'll show this lady."
