here's a flight rising event because i'm trash

[dearkaiserin]

[hey congrats you're a dragon now

the mansion is considerably scaled up to accommodate some of its suddenly larger inhabitants. although there's also the possibility you're a fae and half the size you were before, so that might cause some trouble

also, you might walk into a room and find that it's 500 feet in the air, or underwater, or pitch dark and full of glowing mushrooms, or full of FESTERING DECAYING FLESH or something, nbd]

[The purr continues, but his eyes open slightly.]

Why...?

[He looks vaguely concerned.

obsidian you are an enormous reptile with sharp teeth you don't need to worry about this

--oh but Tempest's cheek feels nice, so his eyes slide shut again and he rumbles.]

[perfect_thunder]

Just in case you get hungry later.

[But he sounds a lot more teasing than GENUINELY TERRIFIED this time.

It's strange how easy it is to get used to having a giant dragonfriend purring in front of you.]

...Or if anyone else does.

[blizzardkaiser]

...mmm.

[He lashes his tail slightly behind him.]

They'd have to go through me to get to you, though.

[perfect_thunder]

[o-oh... gosh ú_ù]

[His smile widens a little.]

Heh. Thanks, Kaiser.

[Tentatively reaches out to set his fingertips on touch the end of Obsidian's snout. he looks a little fuzzy and tempest's curious]

tagging between classes on a phone

[blizzardkaiser]

[...ooh. tiny hand.

He rumbles a little more and Tempest can probably feel it very distinctly in his hand. His snout is soft, and cool to the touch.]

...hmm...

[This is nice. That's an unfamiliar thought for him. He doesn't really want to move.]

[perfect_thunder]

[awww. It's unusual to actually be able to /touch/ a creature... usually the card spirits just drift around him as ephemeral ghosts.]

I usually don't have much luck with dragons.

[so you're trying to get lucky huh tempest]

[blizzardkaiser]

...do you not?

[His eyes don't open, he just sort of...pets Tempest's back with another one of the whiskers.]

Strange.

...

...I can't see why.

[perfect_thunder]

[He tenses a little when the whisker touches him, but it's a little easier to accept from a... giant dragon than a person, somehow. Maybe it won't be able to feel the uneven ridges of the bandages around his chest back there.]

I used to play a lot of dragon decks back home, but... ugh, nevermind. It's stupid.

[blizzardkaiser]

...okay.

[He won't push him any further, if there are things he doesn't want to say.

And he can vaguely feel the tensing when his whisker touches, but he leaves it, cautiously, pulling back just slightly.]

But I doubt it is.

...

...stupid, I mean.

[perfect_thunder]

Back home I saw... spirits. ofduelmosnterscards.

[god it sounds so goofy out loud :( ]

Juudai saw them too, so I know I wasn't completely crazy. Everyone's deck has spirits, but most people can't sense them.

[He leans back against the whisker after a moment, sighing.]

I had... a dragon card that meant a lot to me. I don't even know why. It just felt like... it was mine. I dunno if you've ever had a card like that.

I could see everyone else's spirits... And even spirits of other cards I had... but never that one.

[blizzardkaiser]

[He nods, just barely as to not knock Tempest over.]

Yes. Both you and Juudai talk about them.

...

[He thinks for a moment, about the cards, tail swishing behind him and knocking over some tiny fae-sized furniture.]

...I tried not to attach myself to them.

But...reaching for something and never finding it. I know that.
