Ask Languid Anything: ask.fm/HellbornQM

Your name is Sierra Beckhoff, and you are hellborn – part mortal, part demon. You are travelling cross-country on the ultimate road trip with your friends to gain power, zany antics, and wings.

Though the wings aren’t quite what you were banking on.

--

You can tell Xanissil is holding back a laugh after she’s just told you you’ve got freaking flightless wings.

“I swear Xan, keep that up and I will freaking stab you with these things,” you threaten, trying to gesture one of your bone wings at her. It’s not as responsive as you’d like it to be though, and the gesture comes up as more of an uncoordinated shrug.

Man. This is taking you back to when you started feeling your shadow. Figuring out wings isn’t going to be easy.

“Wouldn’t you say bone-sword wings are superior to no wings at all?” Vikrama says, walking around you to get a better look.

“Why is everything always more claws? I’m already made of knives!” you say, scowling down at your razor-sharp fingertips. “Couldn’t be like, shadow wings, or like flightless feathery wings, could it.”

“Well no, demons don’t really have feathers,” Rowan explains.

“Stygians have feathers,” says Moriah, hesitantly.

Ro arches an eyebrow at her.

Mori seems to shrink. “Not... commonly.”

You crane your neck and flex your wings to the edge of their range, trying to gauge how to make this work. Maybe you can still salvage this? “I could... I could like. Stretch my shadow over them,” you say, trying the idea out loud before actually giving it a go, just to make sure it doesn’t sound totally stupid.
>>
>>41651713

Xan still has her phone out, no doubt recording everything for posterity. “Yes, why do you not attempt this solution,” she says, thoroughly distracted by her movie making.

You glower at her.

Vikrama intercedes on your behalf, putting a hand on Xan’s phone and pushing it down. “Now’s not the best time, darling,” she says.

Disappointed, Xan huffs and pockets her phone. Guess they don’t have phone etiquette in hell. Or phones.

Before anything else can distract you, you twist your shadow about yourself, moving it over your wings. You try to stretch it between the gaps of your boney spines, though as they say, it’s quite a stretch. You just don’t have enough shadow to fill the space necessary.

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try, though.

And then something kind of weird happens.

You’ve stretched your shadow to the breaking point over your bones, when suddenly your grip on your dry wing spines slips. Your shadow grasp snaps back against your weight, smacking back onto the ground and your person where it belongs. The sudden shift throws you off balance.

Rowan gasps. “Your wings are gone!”

You look behind you, and find that she’s right. Though... you kind of still feel them. But it’s kind of a weird feeling, like they’re somewhere far away?

“Was that a glamor?” Vik asks.

Moriah gives the space behind your back a probing look. “No.”

She has her phone back out without missing as a second, her derisive smirk replaced by an intensely satisfied grin.

You become aware of a strange pressure in your shadow, and reflexively pull away from it. And just as suddenly as your wings vanished, they reappear, all skeletal and nightmarish from nowhere.

“Cool,” you say, kind of amazed by this development. Somehow, you just cloaked your wings in your shadow. Or maybe turned them into shadow? Shadow form wings? “I’m like wolverine now. Or better.”

“Yes... this is more fitting for Sierra,” Xan says, impressed.

“You can turn your wings into shadow flesh,” Moriah adds.
>>
>>41651729

“Shadow flesh?” you ask incredulously.

Mori gives you a flat look. “I’ve never ready anything about Verwelken hybrids. Feel free to contribute to the new lexicon.”

“Yeah,” says Ro. “Give her a break. She’s just winging it.”

You snicker. “Winging it,” you repeat, barely able to wheeze out the words for laughter.

“Don’t you usually do this someplace else?” says Vikrama, looking over her shoulder at the trail. “We weren’t the only car in the parking lot.”

While you do want to take some more time screwing around with your wings, she’s got a point. Don’t want to take random risks being spotted out and about with your extra limbs. You head back to car.

--

Scenic mountains and forests and rugged scenery are all yours to enjoy on the trip northward from Oregon to Washington, though the encounter in Porthcawl still left you with an unsavory murky feeling hanging over you.

You’re more or less okay with the four wells you’ve claimed thus far on your incredible journey, so you don’t take too long snooping about in Portland, considering you just picked up a well and you’re running a little late due to your unfortunate delay. Plus you get the feeling from more than a couple people in the city that putting down stakes in the town isn’t the smartest idea. Magic is as magic does, or something like that.

Anyway, you’re hunkering down for the night at little town in Washington. Everything here is wet and soggy. The trees, the mud, the crappy retail stores. It makes you feel like you’re in a jungle. Several dark clouds blot the rainbow sunset sky outside. They must have missed the whole summer memo thing. Rain spatters against the window and the roof of your deluxe top room suite of the double decker establishment.
>>
>>41651751

You’ve got a second alone before you hit the hay. You’re pretty tired from the day’s adventures. Landwell grabbling will do that to you.

You’ll be in Seattle and then Canada tomorrow, if all goes according to plan. You’re okay if it doesn’t go to plan, as long as it doesn’t involve more Mermenes. You’d rather deal with demons any day.

Ro’s out with Vikrama and Mori getting some groceries for the night, leaving you and Xan along for a while. You probably have an hour before they reel themselves back in.

Xan seems happy to content herself with surfing the internet on her smartphone.

Moriah has been preaching control versus power pretty hard. Might as well try and exercise some.

Specifically, let's see what we can shove inside of us! Well, our shadow at least.

Tell him that if he doesn't respond, we'll find a way to talk to him through his landwells and bug him that way. We need to know how to get an upgrade to our bone wings out of this!

>Give Wolf a call, see if he misses you yet so you can make fun of him or whatever.

Tell him we have wings. Don't give him the details. Get the girls in on our surprise.

See if we can turn bodyparts that aren't our wings into shadowflesh. Maybe start with a pinky toe so we won't miss it much if it goes away forever.

It'll be fucking baller if we can eventually turn most of our body into shadow.

Well Xan’s not the only one who can be on her phone.

You leave her be all splayed out on the couch, and you splay out over one of the beds, making use of the too-many pillows for your own devices. Since you’re going to be in Canada land tomorrow, maybe it’d be best if you gave your landmaster neighbor a heads up.

You tap on your phone and set to work.

“Jus so u know, ill be in cabs da kmoeeow” you text. “*canada tomorow” you correct yourself.

The reply is immediate, to your surprise. “Who is this?”

“Ur land master neihbor who else” you write.

There is a brief pause before your phone pings. “How did you get this number?” Roger texts, likely with suspicion. “And is your autocorrect broken or are you typing like that on purpose?”

We should figure out how to shoot high velocity hellfire from them. Like some kinda infernal jet pack.

So does the whole shadow flesh come with flight? Cause once it's dark we need to try. No matter what they say.
>>
I'll see ya conts tomorra, don fock op
>>
>>41652790
I don't think so, them turning into shadowstuff doesn't seem like it'll make them any better at flying.

We should still experiment with the shadowflesh thing, see if our shadow has wings when we do that, see what else we can shadowflesh and what we can do with them while they're shadowy.

Hopefully our shadow will get bigger, and we'll be able to form a proper membrane.
>>
>>41652923
We still have to try. It's for the wings. Sierra must fly.

What’s autocorrect? No – don’t get distracted. You have a purpose here. “fyi autocrot sux + I dont need ur sass, k” you text “if u cant handle heat gt out of internet if you hate ppl txting so much”

“That’s great advice. I’ll go live in the woods forever, thanks,” he texts.

“chill bro ur jus fine. I will be in Vancoover around 7 tomorow, might b cool 4 pacific land master conference 2015.” Then, as an afterthought you add, “btw bring dragon friend if he is legit dragon”

There is a longer pause than usual.

“yo this is Sierra rite” comes Roger’s text.

“uh duh who else???”

“lol no this is Nemo. I totally snatched Roger’s phone.”

“lol that is wild. u guys coming to vancoover or what”

“It’s spelled Vancouver lol”

“what do I look like im not google earth, r u guys comng r waht”

“For sure. I’ve been looking for good excuse to drag Roger out of his cave.”

“dude this is dragons only event,” you text sternly. “u best be real dragon this time”

“lol talk about bad timing. Don’t worry, sword dance was cool, you will see real dragon yet. ttyl”
>>
>>41653376

“What the hell’s ttyl stand for?” you ask rhetorically, squinting at the screen.

“Talk to you later,” says Xan, instantly, looking up from her phone. “How do you not know this?”

You scowl at her. “Cause I actually talk to people with real words, with my real voice?” you reply.

Xan nods, thoughtfully. “Fair enough,” she says, going back to her own internet world.

You don’t think you’ll be getting any more messages from Roger now that he doesn’t even have his phone, so you leave your successful diplomatic venture for the time being to give Wolfgang a call. You don’t really want Xan eavesdropping on you, so you step outside onto the balcony. It’s still raining, but you’ve always liked the sound and smell of rain. Plus the cool evening air is nice and refreshing after spending most of the day in the back of an SUV.

The phone rings a couple times before Wolfgang picks up. “Hey,” he says, sounding kind of neutral. Maybe you’re missing some of the nuance since you can’t actually pick up on his emotions over the phone.

>Sup.

>I got wings.

New pixel art Sierra when? The current one has the crown in the wrong spot, no wings, and I'm pretty sure the demonflesh has grown further up.

[I was having weird connection problems. It's better now.]

“Knock knock,” you say.

“Who’s there?” Wolf asks.

You hesitate. “I didn’t actually think you’d take the bait.”

Wolfgang doesn’t miss a second. “I didn’t actually think you’d take the bait who?”

“Just stop,” you say flatly.

Wolf pauses for a moment. “I don’t get it.”

“You want to hear the news or not?” you ask. “I got wings. Wings!”

“Wings?” he asks.

“Wings!” you shout.

“Like... bat wings?” He sounds very interested now. “You don’t sound as excited as I thought you would.”

“Well, I’ve been cooped up all day in a van, not much room for excitement,” you say. You don’t want to go into your disappointment with your flightless razor wings.

“I thought you rented an SUV. Don’t SUV’s have enough room for excitement?”

“Van, SUV, same thing,” you say. “Let me talk!”

You hear him laughing on the other side of the line. “Sorry. Have to tease you while I can.”

“Well?” you ask.

“Well what?”

“You going to ask for some sweet pics of my kickass wings or what?”

“I thought it’d be weird to ask for sweet pics of your kickass wings, but if it’s okay with you, then yeah, snapchat them up in this.”

“Ha! No snapchat for you, you’re going to have to wait to see the new me in person,” you say.

“And that’s my Sierra-ruse box checked for the night,” he says with a tone of finality. “But seriously, congratulations with the wings. Now you can finally start obsessing about spine counts and chitin plate coverage like a regular person. And also flying. You fly yet?”

“Eh... I’m working on it,” you say. “Situation’s kind of complicated at the moment. I’m figuring it out.”

“Everything all right over there? Nothing weird happened in Portland, did it?”

“Naw, we got all our weird stuff done with beforehand in Mermene town, USA.”
>>
>>41655227

“Gross. Mermenes? You didn’t have to get your feet wet, did you?”

“Ha! No. Still feel kind of like I got algae stuck in my hair, though.”

“Good. Not the algae part, but the not getting dunked part.”

“They couldn’t handle me if they tried,” you say. “They’re a couple tiers down from where I am on the badass scale.” You tell him the general story of missing a couple hours and escaping via shadow plows.

“Sounds like you and my sister had everything under control on your side of things,” says Wolfgang. “But... all the same, if you’re going to be getting into trouble with Mermenes, knowing you, you’d probably want to take the fight to them. And since they’re usually around water... maybe I could show you a trick or two.”

>Don’t tell me. Mermenes turn to liquid if you dump salt on them.

“Don’t tell me,” you say. “Mermenes froth and boil into bubbles when you dump salt on them.”

“About that,” he says.

“Save it,” you say quickly, cutting him off. “You’re not going to trick me into swim lessons. I am not so easily tricked.”

“I wasn’t trying to trick you,” he replies. “Only... slowly deceive you until it would be easy to confess my true motives?”

“Listen. If I can figure out how to fly, I don’t ever need to swim,” you say. “Checkmate.”

He snorts. “Your game plans are cool with me. And that’s a good point. So... I look forward to you showing off when you get back. I want to see some barrel rolls.”

“Heh. Yeah,” you say. Although it is at this point you realize you might not be flying any time soon, and now you feel awkward. “So uh. See you later, I guess.”

“Right. See ya, Chomps.”

You’re not even in the mood to berate his dumb nicknames. You let it slide and hang up, and head back in and flop down onto the bed. You heave a sigh. Why does everybody want to make you swim all the time?

They look bigger because the ribcage itself is bigger on Languid's pic.

I'd say about the same height as Ro, maybe an inch or two shorter since she has fucking amazon proportions. We're certainly more boyish, I wouldn't be surprised if Ro was bult like Powergirl.

“He wants to toss me in a public pool to see what happens,” you say sullenly.

She chuckles. “No no. Boys threatening to throw you into a lake or things means they like you,” says Xan. “This is a good thing.”

“I don’t care what boys like, I don’t like everybody forcing me to do crap I’m not cool with,” you reply. “And Wolfgang’s totally hot for my wings. He couldn’t even hide it over the phone, so, I’m already way, way past the ‘does he think I’m hot’ stage.”

“Hmm,” Xan says, narrowing her eyes wisely.

You’re not sure what your issue is, but you’re sure there is one somewhere. “Xan have you ever... I mean, I know it’s not my domain or whatever. But Hellions.”

“Hellions?” she asks.

“They’ve got forked tongues,” you tell her.

Xan narrows her eyes until she’s shutting them with all her might. “I am aware of the tongues,” she says, her voice strained.

“Ah?” you say, hoping to have caught her in something.

“No!” she shouts. “But I have had acquaintances close to Hellions.”

“And?”

“And they like... they’re attracted to power,” says Xan. “Like moths to flame. And you have that in abundance, so....”

“So I’ve got Wolf on the ropes,” you say, more sure of yourself. Because you were wondering a little bit, maybe. When you had him pinned down and he was like, ‘oh no, you’re just stressed’ and then you didn’t... do other stuff. He was definitely 100% just being all mature or composed or however you want to put it.
>>
>>41657220

“Yes. The ropes,” says Xan. “He watches you when he knows you’re not looking.”

“Uh. In a good way or a bad way?”

“The good bad way?” Xan supplies.

“So the best way,” you clarify.

“Eucghk. Yes,” says Xan, annoyed with your demand for information. “What of it? Will you seal yourselves to one another? Sire heirs in abundance to secure your line?”

She's definitely just straight up mocking you at this point.

It's a good thing our bf is bones, cause that means less chance of accedently eviscerating him in the act.

Although we DO want to find out what his blood tastes like, and not even in the sexy way.

Wolf's going to come out of it bruised, battered, burned, and covered in cuts and teethmarks. Moriah will demand to know what we did to her brother. And even as she finishes saying it realize she doesn't want to hear the answer.

“Wow, that sounds way hot. You have the gift of the English tongue down.”

Xan growls. “You twist my words.”

“Dude. We’re just dating,” you say, sitting up so you can hurl a pillow at her face. It gets snagged on her horns, and she has to disentangle it so the case doesn’t rip, all according to plan. “People sometimes just talk about their boyfriends and crap.”

“People sometimes don’t need to talk about their boyfriends and crap,” Xan says, folding her arms squarely in front of her chest.

You stare at her for a second. “Are you jealous?” you ask, a smile snaking its way across your face. “Because I totally get it if you’re mad you don’t get to mack out with hot wizard lawyer students.”

You feel a plume of poorly concealed embarrassment from Xan. You’ve hit the mark. Or a related mark.

Your smile grows broader, and you worm up a little on the bed to get a better view of Xan’s face over on the couch. “Forked tongue,” you say slowly.

“Blah! Silence!” Xan says, slapping her claws over her ears.

Wait. Is this...? Maybe she doesn’t talk the talk cause she hasn’t walked the walk. “Are you a... y’know.”

“I do not know,” Xan lies.
>>
>>41658152

“You totally know what I’m talking about,” you say.

“I did not come to this realm to talk about what you wish to talk about,” she replies.

“I mean. I get it if you are,” you say. “It’s not like... it’s not a bad thing if you haven’t sexed anybody up. Because... it’s kind of a special thing, I guess.” Ugh. You sound like Isaac.

“That’s not what it is,” she says.

You stop. She definitely just said something right there. “So... you’ve done sexed somebody up?”

She taps her claws together, debating whether or not she should answer you. Then she comes to a decision and replies slowly, plainly embarrassed. “Yyyes.”

Ooh.

WHAT THE FUG

“When was this?” you ask immediately.

“A – it was a lot time – a long time ago!” she stammers, her cool gone.

“Like ballpark, within the last three years?”

“Yes, well not that long ago,” she amends. “That is that.”

That’s not enough information. “Who was it? Somebody back home?”

“Of course, where else?!” she shouts impatiently, standing and glowering at you. You feel her anger smoke around her. She is not enjoying the interrogation.

“Please, one last question,” you say, trying to put on a calming expression. “What’s his name?”

“It doesn’t matter! I’m here now!” Xan yells. She hurls a pillow into your face and storms out of the room in a fury.

You’re left to stew in the aftermath of Xan’s sudden freak out. Touchy subject. You lie back in bed in thought.

Why’d she get so mad about it? He might have died, you guess. People die a lot. Or maybe he dumped her? Or maybe she dumped him, but regrets it? Or maybe it was forbidden. Geeze. If Xan wrote a book about it, you’d definitely read through in a day.

If you’re going to bring this up again, you probably shouldn’t, because you get the feeling you really pushed Xan a lot as it is.

Anyway, you have plenty of time to think things through before anybody comes back. Xan sneaks in a little bit afterward, acting like nothing happened. Though you do detect tendrils of unresolved anger when she glances at you. Goodness gracious.

Hopefully a good night’s sleep will mollify some of the funk from today. Being trapped in a car with four girls all day isn’t always the most stress-reducing thing in the world.

“I wonder how many wells are in this city,” Vikrama muses.

“Stanley Park is a dead ringer, but Roger's claimed that one without a doubt,” Moriah replies.

“Mountains are all around the edge of town,” says Rowan, peering through some redwoods to the distant horizon. “Maybe this is a more landwell-dense area than San Francisco?”

“Honestly,” you say, “I don’t even know if I’ve found all the wells in San Francisco. I mean, I assume that cause of the sense thing, but who knows? Maybe there’s like sub wells or whatever.”

“I do not see why we must meet them here,” says Xan, changing the subject. “There is no well for you to claim here if this Roger speaks true.”

>Hey. I said you guys could go screw around in town if you wanted. You can still do that if nature magic isn’t your thing.

I think she probably had to leave her significant other back in Hath when she came over.

Also we should probably say sorry we just talked to her about how much we hate people trying to make us do stuff we don't want to then interrogated her.

You slacken your pace a bit so the others pass you, and wind up at Xan’s side. “You don’t get it. It’s not always about claiming wells,” you say. “I’m not the only landmaster in the world. Some of those guys have been stomping around for a thousand years, or maybe more. Sooner or later, if I keep this whole gig up, I’m going to be brushing up against them. I got to get to know my neighbors at least.”

“Yes, but I was under the impression we were pushing for wells and more wells,” Xan says. “Wells to help your wings grow in. Wells to turn your flesh into unbreakable bone.”

“That’s still goal numero uno,” you say, “but I got to do better than that. That means learning from somebody who actually knows something from shared experience. I’ve been piecing things together from scratch, but somebody taught Roger what he knows. I need that kind of thing, even if it’s just how much I can get away with rocking the boat before the other landmasters shove me into the lake.”

Ugh. Why’d you have to go into boat metaphors?

“You hate boat metaphors,” Xan points out.

You rub your forehead. “I know, but this is important,” you say.

You both walk on for a moment.

“And... by the way,” you say, feeling awkward, “sorry for grilling you last night. I mean. I was just talking about how I didn’t like people making me do stuff I didn’t want, and then I made you talk about something you didn’t want, so I guess I’m a jerk.”

Xan nods, though doesn’t reply. Still, you feel a lightening of her aura toward you. You guess you said something not stupid.

But then you notice people in front of you have stopped walking. Looking ahead, you see why.

You see a posse of three up ahead on the trail, by a particularly thick tree. The broad-ish guy in the middle you recognize as Roger, with his mussed brown hair and brooding countenance. He’s wearing roughed up jeans and a long sleeved flannel shirt, typical outdoorsy stuff.
>>
>>41660306

The guy off to Roger’s left leans against a redwood. He wears a formless grey hoodie and a pair of equally nondescript sweatpants. He’s got super light colored hair, long enough to be tied back into a little pony tail, and he has several days worth of five o’clock shadow over his square-ish jaw. He drops a cigarette when he sees your group and grinds it underfoot.

And then there’s the third, who you know too well.

“Hey, Sierra!” shouts Nemo, waving enthusiastically at you. The mystery dragon still wears his ugly hand knit beanie, which bears an off-orange triangle pattern over its surface. His hair is longer and stringier than it was from when you first saw him. Though this time his eyes are barely bloodshot at all, you can still smell the unmistakable scent of weed on the air. He’s got a pair of board shorts and a striped polo shirt, both of which look like they’ve been worn for a couple consecutive days.

Roger gives you and your friends a suspicious look. “Landmaster conference 2015?” he asks, loudly enough to be heard clearly from where he stands.

Nemo approaches, ditching his friends and obviously opting for the super-friendly pal hug or whatever. “Long time no see!” he says.

>Eh. I don’t really do hugs, brah.
>Well guys, this is Nemo the dragon. Nemo the dragon, if that is your real name, these are... the guys. Girls. Except Reeber. But you know him.
>So, is anybody here a landmaster besides us? Or is this landmaster conference 2015 more like just some guys in the forest?

Is anyone else curious about what Moriah meant when she said that Sierra has more power than her, Ro, Xan, and Vik combined?

Sierra is 44PP.

Moriah is 24, Ro is somewhere between 16 and 25, Xan is almost certainly 20 minimum, and Vik is at 6 currently. Even if we lowball the fuck out of Xan and Ro and drop them down to base 10 each, they still outpace Sierra for raw power as a group.

The encroaching hug is so earnest and chill that you don’t even realize what Nemo’s planning to do until he’s already bearing down on you. “Hey man,” you say, trying to turn the impending hug into a kind of weird handshake shoulder bump instead.

Hands clash. Shoulders clash. And then you’re being gripped tightly. “How’s California treating ya, Cali girl?” (+5 Stress: 20/103)

“I don’t do hugs,” you growl between teeth.

You smell smoke. Whoops.

Nemo pulls back, and realizes that his fancy polo shirt is on fire. “Shit,” he swears, backpedaling and swatting at the spreading flames. “Shit shit shit!” He trips backward off the boardwalk and crashes into a great bush of soft ferns.

At the sight of this, Roger and his unidentified sweat-suit wearing friend exchange a worried look. Xanissil chuckles and tries to get Vikrama in on the action, though the latter only gives a weak, half-spirited smile.

Rowan leans over the edge to look down at the self-professed dragon. “Oh geeze. Are you okay?” she asks, worry washing out from her like it’s going out of style. She reaches down a hand and helps hoist the smoking man back onto the board walk.

You’re not sure if you want him to be okay or not. If he’s not okay, he deserves it for lying about being a dragon. If he is okay, then he got away with grabbing you out of nowhere.

But immediately Nemo is back on his feet, chipper and carefree. “He’s okay!” he booms, cheering for just a moment before shifting his attention back to the burnt section of his shirt. A great swath of his stomach and ribs are clearly visible where the clothing’s burned off, though it doesn’t even look like so much as the peach fuzz on his skin’s been burned.

“Not a hugger, huh?” he asks, plainly disappointed at his ruined clothing.

“It was kind of an accident. But... you are a dragon though?” you ask, still incredulous. He’s not burned, so.

“Shh shsh shhs,” he says, holding a finger up to his mouth.

You telling me Sierra has a swimsuit body?
>>
.>>41661298

Rowan’s already talking to the others, though. “Hi. We’re Sierra’s friends,” she says.

“Hi,” says the sweat suit guy, giving a curt wave. “We’re Roger’s friends. I’m Wyatt, that’s Nemo.”

“Yo,” says Nemo, nodding to the rest of your group.

“You’re an honest to god dragon, right?” Vik asks.

“It’s a secret,” Nemo replies in a hoarse whisper, obviously attempting to hide the conversation from Roger.

“I can hear you just fine from where I’m standing,” says Roger. “You’re not even being that quiet.”

“Don’t listen to him, I think you’re a great whisperer,” Vikrama tells Nemo.

“Hey. Right back at you,” he says, smiling happily.

You deem it best to avoid Vikrama and Nemo’s fledgling conversation, and stride forward with the others to meet Roger.

“So uh. This landmaster thing,” you say, kind of unsure of how to proceed, “is anybody here a landmaster besides us? Or is landmaster conference 2015 more like just some chill peeps hanging in the forest?”

Wyatt answers in place of Roger. “Nemo might be a dragon,” he says, “but he’s not hardcore about the landmaster part of that.”

Roger gives you a sour look. He's definitely a step more powerful than last winter when you met him. (Roger: 55 PP) “I’m not a fan of intimidation,” he says sternly. “Do you think lighting my friends on fire impresses me?”

Wyatt sighs, though does so out of Roger’s sight. Xan, however, snickers audibly.

>Uh. It doesn’t?
>Pfft, of course not.
>Oh. That? That... uh. Happens. Yeah. It happens sometimes. Accidentally.
>Let Rowan talk for you. She has good words.
>Nemo said he was a dragon, he needed to put his scales where his mouth was.
>Yeah? You think I’m impressed by stranger hugs? Because that crap freaks me out.
>You can charm the socks off this guy through unnatural means.
>Other (?)

Technically, I'm not against deglamouring. Though considering the intimidation line. not so much.
>>
>>41661328
>Oh. That? That... uh. Happens. Yeah. It happens sometimes. Accidentally.

Look, everybody combusts every now and then, it's no big deal.

>Ok, my bad for not telling him to not hug me. There. Happy?

>>41661328
>>Oh. That? That... uh. Happens. Yeah. It happens sometimes. Accidentally.
Apologize, we did just light somebody on fire.
>>
"No, I think things that touch me that much catch fire whether I want them to or not. Which is why I tried to turn it into a handshakeshoulderbump thing."
>>
If people decide to deglamour during this conversation we need to just throw it out there that not one is allow to be prejudiced. Not that I think a family of dragons would care about shit, dragons are generally pretty neutral.
>>
>>41661328
>Oh. That? That... uh. Happens. Yeah. It happens sometimes. Accidentally.

So, I know, I'm late to the party, but here's an idea about the wings.

You remember the thing with wrapping the horns? How apparently you can wrap them up, glamour and de-glamour them and the wraps are still there, if I'm not completely mistaken?

So, if the Wraps stay there, stuff on the wings should as well, right? So how about we simply slap, like, the stuff parachutes are made out of, or maybe leather on them and try flying?
>>
>>41661500
I'd like to see what happens with a few more wells first. Our armored skin is growing in slowly and in patches, so the wings might fill in as we get more powerful.
>>
>>41661500
We get Harvey to make us some enchanted leather to make them into proper wings.
>>
>>41661516
That's reasonable, yeah. Just wanted to bring the idea up before I forget it, but I'd say experimenting with other stuff is more something for home. You know, where somebody can scratch us up from the ground if it goes wrong.
>>
>>41661328
Roger needs to chill the fuck out, if we were trying to intimidate him he sure as shit wouldn't be talking to us like that.
>>
>>41661328
>Oh. That? That... uh. Happens. Yeah. It happens sometimes. Accidentally.
Heh
>>
>>41661328
>Why the bloody fuck would I use fire to try to intimidate a bunch of dragons?
>That's dumb as hell.

>>41661547

“Oh. That?” you ask. “That... uh. Happens. Yeah. It happens sometimes. Accidentally.”

“You don’t make the decision to hug Sierra lightly,” Moriah tells Roger in a foreboding tone.

“It’s okay,” Wyatt says, patting Roger reassuringly on the shoulder. “I doubt these guys are planning anything. Check it.” He points to Vikrama and Nemo, who are now exchanging brief displays of magic and sleight of hand, trying to pass one off for the other.

You notice Reeber nuzzling Wyatt’s foot with his snout. “He doesn’t like you,” you observe. “That just means he knows you have meat.”

Humored, Wyatt produces a little bag from his pocket and tosses a piece of beef jerky to Reeber. Your hound snatches it up and runs off. “I’ve never seen a German Shepard with that kind of patterning before,” he says, watching Reeber dart off path.

“That’s because it’s not a German Shepard,” Roger points out.

“What is it then?” asks Wyatt.

“Something big enough to bring down a deer on its own,” he says, glancing at you. “Unless that was something else.”

Wow. He found the deer Reeber poached for you? He must have done some digging after you passed through.

“Anyway, why would I use fire to intimidate a bunch of dragons?” you ask. “That’s plain stupid.”

Tentatively, Wyatt raises a hand. “I don’t want to ruin the mood, but I’m not a dragon,” he volunteers.

Roger makes a decision. “I don’t really count as a dragon either,” he admits.

“From one non-dragon to another then, I’m Sierra’s sister, Rowan. I get it that you want to stick to yourselves, but thanks for helping her out,” says Ro, shaking each of their hands in turn.

“Ugh. Don’t do that,” you say, wincing out of embarrassment.
>>
>>41661933

“No problem,” says Wyatt, happily accepting his handshake.

“You weren’t there,” you say flatly.

Wyatt shrugs helplessly.

“It was the right thing to do,” Roger demurs. “I’m sure you would have done the same thing if it was the other way around.” The landmaster glances at you with a wary, but less serious glint in his eye. He’s a little less guarded now, but that might just be because you convinced him of your incompetence. First you have no shoes, now you’re accidentally lighting stuff on fire?

Well. It is what it is.

And then your danger ring starts buzzing.

>I take it none of you are trying to kill us right now, right?
>Off the top of your head, what’s the one most dangerous possible thing that could happen right now, given the time and local?
>Since we’ve only got one dragon here, there’s not like dragon hunters out for Nemo’s pelt, is there?
