Dragoncrest Cliffs why hello there

Set tomorrow, April 26th! @Swordfish @Mercy @Meerkat @Njord I'll only be making one or two posts here to mark the milestone and this can be one post each if you all prefer, but you're welcome to take it over as a full thread too!

It was midday, but it was impossible to tell with how dark the sky was. Heavy clouds hung over Sapphique, pelting the cliffs with relentless rain. The wind blowing in off the ocean was strong, but surprisingly warm despite the downpour and the sharp white caps on the stormy waves.

In his sleep, Stingray had rolled closer to the entrance, and now he woke to the sensation of a fat raindrop breaking against the slope of his brow. His eyes popped open for the first time and immediately shut again when water trickled into the corners. In response to the abrupt, unfamiliar discomfort, Ray screwed up his face and started up with a high, keening whine.

He didn't notice when he opened his eyes again; he was too focused on making his cries as piercing and attention-grabbing as possible.
