[A woman is wandering into the village of Luceti. A woman with white hair, dressed in a rather official-looking uniform. She will look familiar to some

[Well hey, you know, Jack is just off to the store to pick up some essentials. As always, when any babe goes walking by, he flashes her a smile.]

[demon_colonel]

[... A man is smirking at her. She isn't entirely used to men smiling at her like that- most of them know her by reputation and are smart enough to avoid her.

She walks up to him, eyes narrowed mildly.]

Can I help you?

[originaljackass]

[Oh, she's intense, isn't she? He likes her already. He stops and straightens up his shoulders.]

Actually, I was wondering if I could help you.

[demon_colonel]

[Gelda doesn't like this man's attitude very much. It's almost like he's mocking her.]

What would have you assume I need help?

[originaljackass]

[Oh, but he's just trying to be charming.]

Because you stick out, even in a place like this. Are you new?

[demon_colonel]

[Gelda has no need for charming. She has a career- a promising one, at that.]

One might say that.

[originaljackass]

[Hey, there's nothing wrong with career-driven women. They need fun just as much, if not more, than other women.]

Well then, I volunteer.

[demon_colonel]

[She thinks she has an idea where this is going, but she'll ask anyway.]

Volunteer for what, exactly?

[originaljackass]

As your escort. Guide. Call it what you want. No sense wandering around lost, right?

[demon_colonel]

Is there no map of this village?

[originaljackass]

[He jerks his thumb in the appropriate direction behind him.]

A nice place called the Welcome Center. Although you don't really get to know a town with just a map.

[demon_colonel]

[She peers over his shoulder in the Welcome Center's direction for a few seconds, before her gaze snaps back to Jack.]

I see... And I suppose you consider yourself knowledgeable about this town?

[originaljackass]

Eight months here? Yeah. I think I've got it down.

[demon_colonel]

Eight months... What have you been doing all this time?

[She can only assume that if someone's allegedly stuck in a village for that long, they would find a productive way to spend their time.]

[originaljackass]

Oh, plenty. Warfare, farming, I raised a family, turned into a dragon for awhile, did a little dating on the side. Typical Luceti stuff.

[demon_colonel]

[... What.] You were... turned into a dragon?
