So... this might be a strange question (and hopefully one that isn't in too bad a taste considering what all just happened), but... What sorts of dreams do you have? And how did you go about deciding on them?

Dreams?

Do you mean goals?

[followyourstar]

Yeah, that kind of dream. Not the kind you need to sleep for.

[nilhilistic]

I suppose it comes down to what furthers your desires or growth as a person.

[followyourstar]

Right. It's not always easy to figure out what would be, though.

What about you?

[nilhilistic]

[ his dream . . . well, that's a foregone conclusion. ]

I have no dreams currently. Only my oath. I have reparations to see to.

[followyourstar]

Your... "oath?"

[Not a word they're used to hearing. From anyone outside of one specific person, anyway.]

[nilhilistic]

My oath. I'm sworn to protect the worlds.

[followyourstar]

World*s?* *All* of them? Or is this something specific to your

...I guess I can't call it a singular world given the question I'm asking.

[nilhilistic]

I have traveled between worlds before this.

I may not be able to protect all, but I will protect the ones I reside in.

[followyourstar]

That's... Huh.

Sorry, just a little in shock. I've never heard anyone say anything like that before. It's a lot to protect.

[nilhilistic]

I am a dragon. I am capable of it.

[followyourstar]

"Dragon?" Sorry, that's a new one for me too.

[nilhilistic]

Have you never heard of dragons before?

[followyourstar]

Well... it does sound familiar??

[Now they're starting to feel a bit self-conscious]

Maybe I read it in a book or something?

[nilhilistic]

Most likely.

Dragons are powerful magical creature. I suppose they would appear like large flying lizards to you.

[followyourstar]

Got it. Wait. Does that mean that's what you look like?

[nilhilistic]

Yes.

[ he has this picture saved for such occasions. ]

I have two forms.

[followyourstar]

[There's a delay in their response as they take the picture in. Yep, that's a big lizard, just as he described.]

Huh... I guess swapping between the two would make it easier to use these tablets. Is it out of convenience, then? Or is it a matter of preference.

[nilhilistic]

Convenience. This world is human. It's easier to live in a human form.

[followyourstar]

That's true. At least one hand has gotta be necessary at the very least, considering how everything's made.

[nilhilistic]

Both my forms are true. This one and the larger one.

[followyourstar]

Oh, I meant how it's easier to live here in a human form. Given all the crazy things I've seen here already, I didn't think you were lying.

[nilhilistic]

That is a relief.

I often get questioned on this.

[followyourstar]

Guess that's the kind of perspective eight or nine months here give you. That and it'd be a strange thing to lie about on a post like this.

[...Wow, it's actually been that long.]

[nilhilistic]

That's true. It just surprised many people here though.
