Dragon Moon Survivor of the Month

By 77 Comments

Can you feel the Dragon Moon rising? I know I can. Everyone’s favorite metal dragon Zyboragon stopped by the site and I see messages from friends of Louis in my inbox. Do they really know what happened to him? Guess I’ll find out soon enough.

Who will it be?
Who will it be?

But right now it’s time to see who the Survivor of the Month will be. Graham and I will be counting up all the comments, suggestions, questions, descriptions, musings, reports, reminders, updates and other miscellaneous missives of a survival nature over the last month, in order to make the prize draw tomorrow.

(It’s been a pretty busy month so this is going to take a while! )

Until then remember, survival above all and for all!

It could be ANYONE really. This little prize is half luck and half about the numbers. That said, let’s see… will it be….

* One of the demigods on a mission this month to find Camp Halfblood, avoid Hades and solve the riddle of the rock song prophesies? Maybe Jack who is marshalling a team that includes Curious and Lonewolf and Connor – who may have disappeared in an passage to the underworld –  and of course, Shadow Rider … did he make it to that portal? along with…

* Wolf Ranger  a relative newcomer demigod werewolf whose job is to watch over Lady Diana and her hunters.He makes a very good case for the history and continued existence of MERwolves….

* Werewolf13 who tried to forget her lycan side this month but still found herself chasing storms and starting a pack, not to mention helping out around the site on numerous occasions especially with Lonewolf…

* The mysterious but mostly helpful m-shifter wolf Curious who has a lot of good advice about supernatural survival including how to defeat a leviathan… some confusing advice too but who am I to criticize THAT?

* Mary5544 a genetic city werewolf who dreams of being a merwolf someday began to fear she was cursed when survivors like Midnight Wrath started disappearing around her… What’s going on? Is this going to be her moon?

* Lonewolf, a bitten werewolf who unfortunately attends a school for vampires and caught the evil eye of an alpha vamp. Will Lonewolf survive this moon?

* Rusty-Rustpelt-Scarheart who survived the northern zombies with the help of survivors on the site, now stuck in wolf form on a dangerous trip through… wait. Is he seriously partying with aliens?  Or is he being held hostage…?

* Devorah who has been working tirelessly to help make survival plans with Vianna, Rusty and others, despite the fact she still only shifts fully in the dream dimension after a failed rage experiment. Has she discovered her secret draconian side?

* Vianna or Vitra Pendragon for long, a draconian in hiding with info for Blue Dragon spring and look what she found hunting and guess how you’ll know she is coming?

*The infamous, notorious angelic Zyboragon, who stopped by with many important baby dragon survival information and survivor updates…

Baby Dragon Alert – Dragon Moon Brings Baby Dragons

By 14 Comments

With the Dragon Moon on the wing, Survivors please be advised, a BABY DRAGON ALERT has been issued for the next 72 hours.

That’s right, I received the following terrifying proof in my inbox. Until I can track down the photographer to ascertain the validity of this, survivors are well advised to recall and practice their best baby dragon safety measures.

Sure they’re cute, but we all know how deadly they can be. Protect yourself and your family. Check back here for all the best tips and tools for the Dragon Moon.

Don't be fooled. Baby dragons are cute but deadly!
Don’t be fooled. Baby dragons are cute but deadly!

BABY DRAGON SAFETY TIPS:

1. The most important thing to remember when dealing with a baby dragon on the Dragon Moon is above all, don’t try to bring it inside!

There are three very good reasons for this, the first and second being that lurking somewhere is a draconian mom and a draconian dad. But equally important is the third reason which you see in this photo – that smoke curling up from the baby dragon’s mouth. Where there is smoke there is fire! Don’t risk burning down your home. Baby dragons can’t control all of their fiery faculties yet, they don’t necessarily want to burn down your house but they will. Leave the baby dragon outside!

2.  Don’t buy into the dangerous myth that you can tame or control a dragon! Never handle or try to catch a baby dragon with a pearl in your hand or a dragon net or any other dangerous technique. Even if it lands on your shoulder. Let me repeat, there are two very good reasons for this and they rhyme with the words BOMB and BAD.

I know what you’re thinking. But I’m a dragon kin or a dragon kind or a draconian friend or a dragon wolf or whatever and I’m not saying that’s not true. But if it is true, then the dragon will find and catch you later, likely when it is full grown. At which time you might not even recognize him or her as they are just as likely to be in human form as dragon form. Take it from me, dragons are nobody’s pet.

3.  If you intend to follow a baby dragon back to its lair, you do so at your peril. Just because you encounter one in your neck of the woods, does not mean it’s your next door neighbour. Dragons, even baby dragons, have an incredible range. They can fly between continents with ease and survive in climates lesser beings can’t. If you encounter a baby dragon on the Dragon Moon chances are good he or she got disoriented taking the new wings for a test drive. You might think that following it home is an excellent way to discover a dragon cave full of treasure but it’s really a better way to end up lost in an unforgiving habitat like the bush country of Botswana or the Death Roads of Bolivia.

For more info the different kinds of baby dragons and how to know what kind you’re facing, please see updates by Zyboragon around here on the Draconians page…. 

My Lupine Life by Louis Pine

By 74 Comments

Lest your face be turning blue holding your breath – or even if it isn’t – they’re finally here! All 13 episodes of “My Lupine Life” By Louis Pine, proving yet again that once in a blue moon Graham and I can actually get our act together. Sort of.

Quick re-cap for those of you who missed it. Last summer, a survivor and suspected lycanthrope named Louis Pine contacted SOS for supernatural help and advice. Many of you pitched in and then I took to the road to meet him, the longest pizza delivery in history. These videos are the result…

“My Lupine Life” By Louis Pine

My name is Louis Pine and I think I’m a genetic werewolf on my dad’s side. Unfortunately nobody believes me. That’s why I made these videos, to prove it.

Play all 13 episodes in order! (this Playlist only works on a Mac or PC. If you have an iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone then please watch individual episodes below)

Episode 01 – Crib Notes:
After a hard day of lycanthropy testing, Mauricio and I go check out an old werewolf crib in the woods.

Episode 02 – Were’s Mauricio?:
Looks like I’m not the only lycanthrope here. All I’m saying is Mauricio should not have wandered off alone.

Episode 03 – Werewolf Intervention:
It’s an old fashioned werewolf intervention, complete with colloidal silver (I made it myself) and sterile bandages. Unfortunately my neighbor Sydney wants to help.

Episode 04 – The First 48:
Acquired or bitten lycanthropy can be cured in the first 48 hours post-bite, any genetic lycanthrope knows that. Now if I can just convince Mauricio before it’s too late.

Great. Mauricio’s still mad at me even though I cured him and now Sydney wants to be my keeper. What next? Oh yeah, the full moon is coming…

Episode 06 – Cribbing:
Full moon fever, Part I.

Episode 07 – Keep On Keeping On:
Hey! It’s that guy from the Internet, Seth On Survival. Turns out he was reading my messages too.**

Episode 08 – Were Dad?
My mom is pretty mad at me for staying out all night.

Episode 09 – Uncle Lincoln
My mom called in my dad’s identical twin brother Uncle Lincoln to straighten me out. Yeesh. What is that thing he gave me????

Survivor of the Month: Wolf Princess

By

Here’s the first clue to the Survivor of the Month for the Dragon Moon, 2012:

Do you recognize this Survivor of the Month?

1. Είμαι με κανένα τρόπο αυτοκτονίας, αλλά να κάνω έντονα την επιθυμία να είναι με την αγάπη μου και πάλι.

2. Is a vegetarian who loves meat ice cream.

3. Has braces in human form but transforms regularly with no additional pain or difficulty

4. A rare, 100% werewolf turned white demon wolf with red eyes:

By now you’ve probably guessed, this Survivor of the Month is Wolf Princess!

The Harrowing Tale (And Red Eyes & White Fur & Braces) Of a Wolf Princess:

Wolf Princess is a rare, 100% werewolf of suspected genetic origin. She first came here with a simple question, should I join a pack? Or remain a lone wolf?

Wolf Princess revealed that she had been spending her moons alone in the yard. For safety, she instructed her sister to lock her out of the house. Then she roamed the neighborhood trying to avoid contact with others, particularly humans with cameras. But it wasn’t working. Somebody eventually snapped a photo. She found it on the Internet and the other survivors had to talk her out of taking revenge on the photographer.

Shortly after this, Wolf Princess built her own secret crib so she could avoid these situations.

Unfortunately, before she could even use this new crib for the first time, there was a rash of A-51 attacks on the site that caught a lot of survivors, including Wolf Princess. She was caught mid-transformation and collared with a silver collar.

(This attack caused a lot of survivors to question the level of the security of the site and remains to this day the single biggest reason for the no names, no ages, no real locations policy!)

Wolf Princess managed to fight off her attackers but was trapped mid-transformation, half-human, half-wolf. Very embarrassing. Her sister hid her until she could figure out how to get out of the silver collar.

Desperate Wolf Princess tried everything to get it off, right down to the tried-and-true throw-yourself-against-the-wall maneuver.

Nothing worked. Finally another survivor on the site, Goddess of Fate, a demi-god who used to grace us with her presence sometimes, gave Wolf Princess a sword of celestial bronze. Well it worked and Wolf Princess carries it to this day.

Understandably, after this early A-51 encounter, Wolf Princess changed. Her fur went all white as a result of the stress. But there were more changes to come for Wolf Princess.

Needing a holiday after her terrible transformation, she agreed to a dream-cation with the enigmatic Night Wolf, a friendly demon wolf who used to check in sometimes.

Night Wolf and Wolf Princess met in Times Square in their dreams one night – but only one of them returned. And it wasn’t Night Wolf.

In fact, Night Wolf was never heard from again. And we don’t know the full details of what happened that night. Maybe Wolf Princess will never tell us. But that night changed her even further. Now her eyes glowed red and she too was a demon wolf. What really happened that night, Wolf Princess? Will you ever tell?

Either way, the Princess brought back souvenirs for everyone so that was nice. Although you can only claim them in your dreams. (I’m still looking for mine. Last night I looked behind the balloon clown who stole my teeth. He didn’t have it.)

Anyway it turned out to be a good thing, because Wolf Princess needed every power she could muster for the next attack. A pack of creatures surrounded her house one night. They almost killed her and her family and destroyed her home. She thought it was A-51 again but later discovered it was not A-51 at all but it turned out to be a pack of hell hounds sent out by somebody unknown. Did this have anything to do with her new demon powers? We still don’t know.

Lucky thing Bebe’s aunt had a 140 bedroom home that was empty. **HINT: When somebody tells you they have a 140 bedroom home empty? Be very suspicious!  

Wolf Princess brought her family to Bebe’s aunty’s home and it turned out to be a trap. Not one laid by Bebe, but by her annoyingly dangerous warlock brother Spark. Anyway something good came out of this – Time Kitsune saved Wolf Princess’ life and a different spark was ignited between them. Wolf Princess was no longer a lone wolf.

But the partnership of TK and Wolf Princess had many ups and downs. Understandably it was difficult. Kitsune and werewolves do not normally pair up. They seemed to attract danger to each other. Maybe it was the matching collars they wore to track each other at all times, no matter where they were in the universe.

When TK was eventually killed in battle against Zanthre trying to free Wolf Princess who was being used as a weapon against Ice, Wolf Princess was devastated.

After Bebe healed Wolf Princess and told her everything, it broke her heart. Things got very sad around here for a while as Wolf Princess tried everything she could to resurrect TK, every spell she could get her hands on or that Alex could give her. Survivors might remember how a Tear Drinker visited the site several times during this time.

Not even Mr. Jaffa’s fluffy bunny spell could cheer her up. Her demon wolf side began to infect her human side and her eyes glowed red now even in human form. The other kids started to tease her and she had to lock herself into her crib to control herself:

And another thing. Some analysis by Zyboragon revealed evidence of dangerous chemical in her system. Then in her next transformation, Wolf Princess discovered wings. Which I don’t have to tell you makes her dangerously close to the WWs who hunt angels. How did it happen? A healing spell gone wrong? Or back to Night Wolf?

Meanwhile Alex was finally able to ressurect TK in Supreme Fire’s body but only long enough for Wolf Princess to say goodbye. Supreme Fire also gave her TK’s old collar, the one that used to lead them to each other.

Wolf Princess was later relieved to learn then that TK was not dead but dimension-shifted, so although sometimes they can still communicate, they can’t see each other.

Despite this, Wolf Princess has become a great survivor. She dotes on little TK and has lots of good advice for A-51 battle strategy and rage control techniques. She’s a fierce defender of other survivors and well-deserved survivor of the month!

Thanks to Wolf Princess and to everyone here who contributed to survival this month!

SOS Hall of Famer: P5t5r

By 50 Comments

Here are the first clues to our first SOS Hall of Fame inductee, meaning from the last year:

Super Moon Survivors of the Month
Coming Soon: Super Moon Survivors

01010011 01110101 01110010 01110110 01101001 01110110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01001101 01101111 01101110 01110100 01101000 00100000 01010000 00110101 01010100 00110101 01010010

2. On first glance he may look like an ordinary human, but once you see him lick his elbow, you’ll be turned onto the fact that he may not be so human after all.

3. He is a dedicated student and occasionally has to take breaks away from the site to make sure that he gets all his schoolwork done to the highest standard.

4. He is very passionate about cyborg-human relations and the rights of a cyborg to be religious, and experience human qualities.

As most of you already guessed that this month’s Survivor of the Month is our very own: P5T5R!!  Congratulations!

A few of our favorite P5T5R moments:

“Cyborgs can be religious. We know someone made the electronic part of us and so it’s easy to believe that someone made the rest too.”

“Can I still haiku?
Or must we not continue
See what I can do.

I’d love to do more
I love to rhyme and haiku
Please let me join you.”

“Now you are one of us and we stick by each other just ask anyone. No one is left behind and someone experienced and knowledgable can always be there for you.”

“A more loyal, dedicated, devoted, kind, courageous, and passionate group than us you probably won’t find.”

P5T5R came to Seth on Survival and tested out the Monstrometer, finding that he was, in fact, a cyborg.  He went on to find out that while he had a layer of human skin, underneath he was a robotic entity.   His ability to lick his elbow was one of the first indicators that he was perhaps a little more than human.

Since that time, P5T5R has been extremely helpful in providing ideas and feedback for Seth about how the site can be more efficient and helpful to new monsters, as well as often offering tips on incidents that may be cyborg related. In fact, this whole survivor profile thing was P5t5r’s idea.

(So did he use his cyborg powers on my Hat App??? That’s a question only he can answer.)

P5t5r has taken up the cause of cyborg rights, and when put to trial, please not-guilty on treating one race better than the other.  (You can follow that trial here: http://sethonsurvival.com/monstrometer/werewolves/comment-page-86#comment-134234 ) And by the way: We support you P5T5R – we know you are passionate about equality.

P5T5R is not a cyborg bent on destroying human kind, and rather spends his time helping, encouraging, and keeping the peace between all of our super-natural beings, and the humans that love them.  The one thing P5T5R hates is being left out, especially when he has so many skills to help.

Though he often sticks closely to his areas of expertise on the Cyborg Page, P5T5R has been known to branch out and visit the other pages, providing insights and responses.

Stop on over at the Cyborg Page sometime, and say:

**01000011 01101111 01101110 01100111 01110010 01100001 01110100 01110101 01101100 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 01110011 00100000 01100110 01110010 01101001 01100101 01101110 01100100

to P5T5R!  And don’t forget to ask his help next time you have a dilemma!

**Translation: Congratulations friend

Dragon Supermoon Saturday

By 20 Comments

May 03-2012: It’s here:  Supermoon Saturday. The Dragon Moon rises, bringing with it Draconian events.

As most survivors here know, a “supermoon” occurs when the moon’s perigee, that is when it swings closest to the earth, coincides with a full or new moon phase, resulting in a full moon that is about 12% bigger than average.

Supermoons have been identified as cosmic contributers to numerous global events and disasters, including recently, the sinking of the Titanic. The theory holds that an extra-strength supermoon tide caused a fleet of icebergs to break loose unexpectedly, including the one that sunk Titanic.

Astronomers are downplaying tonight’s celestial event, saying this year’s supermoon will be much smaller and less dramatic than the most famous March 19, 2011 supermoon that brought:  an earthquake, a tsunami and a volcano along with a minor plague of lepre-weres and were-prechauns.

However, these astronomers are missing one very important fact – this Supermoon falls on the Dragon Moon. In fact, it falls on the Dragon Moon, in the Year of the Dragon. That’s a lot of dragons. Coincidence?

Well yes. No. Maybe. Partly. But just because it’s a cosmic coincidence, doesn’t mean it won’t be epic. Dragons already out of their caves in searching for treasure and trouble will be out in full force.

One thing is sure, there will be two new Survivors of the Month. This month honors go to two survivors: one Survivor of the Month and one Hall of Fame Survivor. I’ll be posting clues about their identities all night long and then as agreed, reveal them tomorrow in order to not distract anyone from their full moon survival plan.

If you figure it out you can leave hints but please don’t give it away!

Remember Survivors of the Month are picked in a semi-random way. We just total up helpful comments and put them into the Hat App, then spin the wheel. If it’s not you this month, please just keep on keeping on. Prizes are miniscule and survival is always a win!
