1st Mercy [ Video ]

[ At first, all you can see is gold. Shiny slabs of gold, intircally patterned in a matter of scales. Then the camera moves up, up, up, and then you might think that it is rather a sculpture made entirely out of gold. A golden fish, perhaps? A snake? A lizard?

Then the camera zooms out and there’s a long, golden neck, so long and round it can make

[ OH SHIT SON. give her like five minutes to hold a quiet freakout fest. she... has no real idea of how to deal with this. at all. ...better stay human for now. ]

It isn't magic.

[ It takes a while for a reply, as Aurican spent a good half of the day exploring the island, learning the people, accidentally terrifying the same people ... you know, normal stuff.

And it takes a while to understand how to reply this message. How quick, how easy! Once he returns home, he must show this to Silvanos and his wyrmlings. ]

Is it not? The force that draws me here made by no mortal, but something deeper in the fabric of existence. Or are you speaking of something else? There are many strange things here.

[fantasycliche]

Yes, strange and fantastic things might abound, but very little of it is actually magic. It's called technology.

You're awfully far from home.

[returnsmagic]

Very advanced technology indeed. The most impressive I've seen from home were the catapults of waging armies.

And aren't we all, stranded in a world we are unwelcomed here?

[he_is_wild]

You're welcome?

[He says this while squinting and leaning to the side slightly, as if he thinks he can see Aurican from a better angle this way.]

[returnsmagic]

[ He's peering right at you, clown. You might get to count the individual scales on his muzzle. ]

Indeed.

[video]

[he_is_wild]

Nice scales, Scales. Very sparkly.

[video]

[returnsmagic]

Thank you.

[ Though in all honesty, he thinks the comment is better reserved toward Darlantan and the other silver dragons. When they fly in the sunlight at the right angle, their scales reflect so brightly that they seem to made of light, instead of flesh and bone and magic. ]

Two dragons this morning. And a house yesterday.

[ He rubs his eyes. It's too early for this. He hasn't even had his tea. ]

That's it - the Core's gone barking mad!

[ Video ]

[returnsmagic]

[ ... a house? ]

And you are?

[ Video ]

[deathknellgrell]

...

A talking dragon. But of course.

The HOUSE talked, why not you?

[ Video ]

[returnsmagic]

Of course I can speak.

[ Really, he's not a dumb animal. Or a troll. ]

[doeswhathewants]

[Now that is a dragon. He's seen a few dragons, good sport back in the day]

It seems cruel to draw a one such as yourself here.

[returnsmagic]

[ ..sport? :( ]

It is cruel to all who have been drawn to this world.

[doeswhathewants]

[Asgardian rights of passage and manhood. B-but he doesn't feel that way anymore!]

But especially so to someone who- well I'm only supposing you fly and hunt.

[returnsmagic]

I can do many things.

This seems to be the day for dragons to arrive. [No awe in his voice -- he knows better than to feed a dragon's ego like that -- but no fear or suspicion, either. He can't just not acknowledge a dragon, though.]

Video

[returnsmagic]

[ Aurican is puzzled. He has yet to do in depth to the network other than his own posting. ]

Are you saying there's more than one? Other than myself?

Video

[icy_heavens]

There is. That one has been here before, though he's incapable of speech.

Re: Video

[returnsmagic]

I will keep an eye out for this dragon then.
