Greetings, people of Aldrip.

I am a new arrival to this place. My name is Rafal. I am a dragon from another world. As familiar as I am with the mechanics of multiple worlds and travel between then, I am afraid the technology gap here is rather large. I would like to request the aid of a master, someone who is proficient in it and is willing to teach me.

Of course, this does not need to be for free. You are welcome to request a boon or a favor. I lack money at this juncture but I will see to it soon enough. I am no longer in the business of resurrecting the dead and I do not kill for others . . . but I am open-minded in other requests.

Thank you.

— Ah, yes, a picture of my true form since that seems to be a sticking point among skeptics.

Oh right - I haven't introduced myself!

My name's Ryoji Mochizuki, seventeen years old. I was a high school student back in my world. Nice to meet you! („• ᴗ •„)

[nilhilistic]

[ buddy. ]

Humans don't refer to themselves as "they"

[luneminary]

[Wh...where's this headache coming from all of a sudden...]

Oh, you're right. Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you!

But I am as human as they come. There aren't really any monsters or fantasy creatures back home.

[nilhilistic]

[ what is going on here . . . ? this form of communication is deeply ineffectual for rafal to truly glean any answers.

for now, he tucks it away. ]

As you say.

I am Rafal, as I already said. A Fell Dragon.

[luneminary]

Yup, you did mention that! Hello, Rafal-san! ( ´ ꒳ ` )

[He's all too happy to change the subject.]

Is a Fell Dragon different from an ordinary dragon?

[nilhilistic]

There are many kinds of dragons. Manaketes, Earth Dragons, Mage Dragons.

Fell Dragons are considered dragons of the underworld. We can resurrect humans to do our bidding.

[luneminary]

Ooooh, so that's why you're purple!

[nilhilistic]

What.

No.

[luneminary]

????

But. Darkness? The underworld? That's classic Purple Dragon elements! ( ￣-￣)

[nilhilistic]

The frills are pink. My sister's are blue.

Colour has nothing to do with it.

[luneminary]

Oh. (　・ω・)

Is it something you can change, or are you just stuck with it forever? Either way, I think being a dragon is pretty cool.

[nilhilistic]

How am I supposed to change something I'm born with? Speak sense!

[luneminary]

Being born with it doesn't mean you have to stick with it forever! Like hairstyles, or gender!

[nilhilistic]

Please show me where on the picture I am sporting any kind of hair or gender.

being a dragon would be gender goals for me tbh

[luneminary]

Maybe its not exactly that, but it's not like you look like a dragon all the time, right?

Maybe you can paint over your frills if you're not feeling very pink. (　-∀-)

[nilhilistic]

Obviously. Living as a dragon among humans would be torturous. You would all get stepped on.

And painting on frills seems like an idea for clowns, not dragons.

[luneminary]

What if you're a clown dragon?

[nilhilistic]

Are you trying to irritate me? Because you are doing a superlative job of it.

[luneminary]

Oh, I don't mean you're a clown dragon! (´• ω •`)

But makeup is something a lot of people wear, not just clowns!

[nilhilistic]

I have no interest in makeup or changing myself into anything else.

I am Rafal. I will remain that way.

[luneminary]

If that's the case, then there's no need to change!

I'm glad you're happy with who you are, Rafal-san. ( ´ ▽ ` )

[nilhilistic]

I would not go that far.

But it is important to exist as you are.

[luneminary]

Is that so?

[And he doesn't know where this comes from, but he can't help but ask:]

Even if who you are is something terrible?

[nilhilistic]

Yes.

[ even if the truth has come out. that he was worthless all along. that no amount of power would have given him the value he ached for. he'll never be nel's true twin. he'll never be anything to anyone.

and yet. ]

I rather live the worst truth of myself than survive another thousand lies of being someone else.

[luneminary]

I see. That's a noble way to live.

I'm not sure if I have the courage to live like that.
