Okay, I've been talking about it since FOREVER on plurk, so might as well kick it into gear.
Aurican is going to get bored coming to and from his Catskills Mountains home to the City. And when he gets bored, he goes exploring.
This means a field trip exploring all the United States mainland! And this is where your characters come in: Aurican isn't quite informative about US cultures and such, so he might need a guide or several on places to go, where to sleep, and what is not for eating. In canon, he can fit three people on his back. I'm going to add in a fourth rider because he's a big guy, another person isn't going to kill his back. So here will be a list of people who will be his riders.
1. Carrie Kelley
2. Terry McGinnis
3. Calvin
4. Terry Ward
Of course, this will require a saddle or some kind of restraint as well, even if the elves seem perfectly happy to ride him bareback. Anyone handy in that sort of thing? Aurican will pay your character back eventually.
Those who want to be part of the trip but the list is full or your character is afraid of heights? They can tag along in a car, or any form of transportation they feel comfortable with. Aurican can fly, but he can fly slow enough for your characters to follow. Or he and the riders can just meet up to your character to wherever place they are visiting. It's up to you!
I'm going to make a network post about him making his trip and asking for suggestions as to where to go, and eventually I will put up a log. Time-wise, this trip might take two and a half weeks, but if your character needs to quit the trip for whatever reason, Auri will try to help out however he can, depending where they are.
EDIT: Another dragon joins the trip! If Auri's slots are full or you just want to hang with a bronze dragon instead, you're in luck! Crucible can only carry four people as well.
