[Audio] Under the Moon Light

[originaldragoon]

[There were the sounds of claws on a hard surface and a door sliding close as Rose quickly went out onto the balcony of her shared apartment. She had to get out of there before Larry woke up. Soa knew that the man was very jumpy and him seeing her like this wasn't going to help. But she did grab her mirror on the way out. She just didn't realize that she hit the audio feature when she so.]

[There is a deep reptilian like growl, and that is when she notices that her mirror is recording. She's a bit it's at least did not show what she looked like over the network yet. As she spoke there was a bit of a growl to her voice.]

I was warned that this happens to those in the Monster class on a full moon, but I did not expect the change to be like this...

[Another deep growl this one of annoyance]

I do not suppose any of the shops here have clothing that will fit for someone with wings and a tail?

Comments

[originaldragoon]

I look ridiculous as I am now.

[despite what that angel guy said.]

I also has horns and claws, so handling things are an annoyance.

[ace_of_hearts]

Yeah, no, I don't believe that at all. I bet you look extra hot.

Can I come see the horns in person? I'll carry stuff for you. As long as it's not ice.

[originaldragoon]

Extra hot? Not really. They actually feel cool to the touch. [Guess who doesn't know modern slang yet!]

[A sigh]

Fine... You can probably see me outside of the apartment building.

[ace_of_hearts]

Nice.

[Comes running out to find her and waves!!!] I was right! You look great!!!

[originaldragoon]

[Rose jumps back down from the balcony. She almost blends into the shadows since the transformation also turned her skin tone to onyx along with having a few scales. A complete contrast to Ace.]

Well you are certainly hard to miss.

1/2

[ace_of_hearts]

RIGHT?! [Scowls.] I'm worse than Marco at this point, and he flaming sparkles!

2/2

[ace_of_hearts]

[A beat, because darkness dragon, holy shit if that doesn't grip Ace's heart with fear in a way he's not entirely used to yet, and reminds him of all of Mal's talks about evil and darkness, and Blackbeard and --]

[Honestly, it's probably WHY he's a lit up firebug at this point.]

[But he'd rather not be.]

You do look really great though. Does any of it hurt or anything? CAN YOU FLY?!

[originaldragoon]

You are the second person to say that. [And by the tone of her voice, she doesn't get why people would think that.]

After the transformation, nothing hurts. And I will need to practice using the wings before I can fly... [Though they do have a similar feel to the wings of her dragoon armor.]

[ace_of_hearts]

[>:T Well NOW he's jealous!!!!] Yeah, who else?

NOTHING HURTS?!

[Pause.] Practice now! Forget about clothes!

[originaldragoon]

[she arches a brow at his reaction.]

Some strange man with white wings, but I do not think he was in the Monster class.

And the transformation itself hurt, but now, if anything, it is a dull ache.

[And he is just acting way too excited about her having wings.]

Why do you want me to practice now?

[ace_of_hearts]

Right. Yeah. Crowley's friend. Well, I don't mean it like he means it!!!

Do you want me to try to... work the muscles? So it's not so achey?? Warm hands can help. [Finger waggles.]

[As for the question, Ace just snorts and rolls his eyes.] You care too much about clothes. When you said you weren't comfortable in the toga-thing I figured it just like me and shirts, they make me feel itchy and wrong. And without your armor it's all... exposed and you have to try harder to just be you. But right now, you've got dragon armor! Who cares what other people think about decency and whatever, so long as you're comfortable?

But you should use your wings while you have a chance! If it's only once a month, you don't want to be caught off guard with it and wishing, [In a terrible falsetto nothing like Rose's voice, especially now.] "Oh, if only I had practiced!"

[originaldragoon]

[Rose backs away. The way he was waggling his fingers was a bit disturbing.]

How is his meaning different from yours?

And I feel naked when I am without either my sword or armor, and it is bad enough that I do not have a sword here. So needless to say, it is hard for me to get comfortable when I feel this exposed.

[She arches a brow at his voice.] You sounded like a dying cat...

[ace_of_hearts]

He means it like... I mean it like... [Wow! There is no good answer to that!]

[Especially with her already leery of him!!!]

[He rubs the back of his neck apologetically.] Yeah, sorry. Anything I can do to help?

[originaldragoon]

[She arched a brow at him again. This man just kept getting stranger and stranger...]

[She shook her head some and flexed her wings a bit.]

They really do not feel that much different from the wings of my Dragoon armor. I think I can manage using them.

[It's just the tail might get in the way of things.]

[ace_of_hearts]

I meant with--

Yes, okay, good. [Bites his thumb.]

[Give him a moment. He's trying to think of the right thing to say. Also resisting touching the horns.]

Wait... YOUR ARMOR HAS WINGS?!

[originaldragoon]

[Well she didn't expect him to act so excited.]

My Dragoon armor, which I do not have here. Back in my world, I was the Dragoon of the Darkness Dragon. Though I guess now I am the Darkness Dragon here.

[ace_of_hearts]

Neat.

Why darkness?

[originaldragoon]

Because I slain the Darkness Dragon back in my world, as a result darkness became my element of power. Merlin told me that if I had an element of power before arriving here it was possible that it would be easier to call. So during training, that was what I concentrated on calling.

[ace_of_hearts]

Neat! Wait so you slew the darkness dragon to get its strength, but you don't think dragons should be eaten either? What gives?

[originaldragoon]

I slew the dragon because its power was needed to win a war, and the only way a dragon willing gives up its power is if you slay it in battle. They are not some dumb beasts. They are intelligent beings, and it would have been disrespectful to eat her after defeating her in battle.

[ace_of_hearts]

Oh.

I understand. [Solemn nod and bows.] I'm sorry for insulting your world's traditions. Accidentally.

Lydia told me a story about a man in her world who made an entire island to hunt humans. It's still weird to me that food here isn't hunted. But I'm beginning to understand the ways of different places. Please forgive my ignorance, I'm still learning.

[originaldragoon]

I would not exactly say it was a tradition since people do not usually go out to try and slay dragons.

[She gives a bit of a sigh.]

I am still trying to get used to this whole different worlds thing myself.

[ace_of_hearts]

I thought it was easier 'cause I died, but not for you, huh? Did you travel a lot in your world?

[originaldragoon]

Quite often actually. I must have seen every corner of my world.

[ace_of_hearts]

And it wasn't super different all the time?
