I think we have a lot more to work out (like, oh, where to get a few million dollars to pay an animation house...) before really worrying about what group name to use - but I kind of like Studio Stagger myself, or something like it. Ooh, how about Studio Hebereke? Isn't that idiomatic Japanese for "falling down drunk?"
Quote:Snakes, as a rule, swim quite well. Given their physical structure and apparent magical capabilities, I do think that auxiliary gills or improvements in their ability to hold their breath would be fairly easy to do in the period shortly after the fall (and would be all that would be needed to make them competent enough swimmers to compete with purely aquatic predators) - certainly much easier that holding on to the the various complicated bits that they're using now.
Dracobio - as usual, it all sounds good, and thinking about my own last post about Antlers having, essentially, optimised themselves for tool-using civilization, then the advanced dragon civilizatio they were part of having fallen and the current somewhat haphazard structure arising also makes sense when tied in with previous musings on dragon society, which had Antlers revered as arbitrators and keepers of dragon lore - they'd be the ones who, by neccessity, clung to some fragments of learning, being no longer equipped to live by tooth and claw like their primitive Beast Dragon ancestors.
I guess that part of my objection to the idea of universal magical flight is something that I've been assuming and should probably have mentioned before now: Neither magic nor ki can actually violate the laws of thermodynamics, although they may sometimes -appear- to do so.
Holding youself up by magic alone seems... inefficient. Swimming is -much- less work.

Wait, which email? I can't get at worldconquer.org, haven't been able to since my lappie died a month or two ago. merrynh over yonder at adelphia.net works, though.
Ja, -n
