[On turns the seal, but the first sound captured by it is a very loud TOCK! As it drops on the wooden floor of a certain Wonderland house. Then image emerges from static, blurred out by quick movement and someone's very slippery hands continuously trying to pick the seal up

[The voice is familiar, but he can't quite identify it yet]

... What were you supposed to be?

[scalesandstuff]

A dragon!

[saiyajinsoul]

... Bernie? Is that really you?

[A beat]

What kind of wish were trying to make?

[scalesandstuff]

It is me! [an exhale.] And I wasn't making a wish, I was just taking a nap.

[assassinmvp]

Oh wow.

Bernie? That you?

[scalesandstuff]

[Present and sulking.]

Uh-huh.

[assassinmvp]

What happened to you?

Are you like a were-dragon? Only kind of the opposite?

[scalesandstuff]

[now he sounds a bit alarmed.]

A were-dragon?

What's a were-dragon?

[seethelanterns]

You...weren't a boy before? [Must be something to do with a wish.]

[scalesandstuff]

No-! I'm really a dragon.

[seethelanterns]

A drag--Bernie? Is that you?

[scalesandstuff]

It is me.

[And he blinks, squinting at the seal. It doesn't work the same way with a human face, he finds.]

You look familiar.

[they've only ever spoken over voice, so Maka doesn't immediately recognize that something is amiss by appearances alone... but she does remember that voice, at least]

Huh? You're not supposed to be?

[scalesandstuff]

No-! [Despite everyone's patience and willingness to help, Bernie's patience is still wearing a little thin.] I keep telling people I'm really a dragon.

[skirtindanger]

[a stare. it pretty much says "we have dragons here?"]

Um.. Sorry, I had no idea! You don't know what could have caused this?

[scalesandstuff]

A wish, probably!
