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?

"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.

[followyourstar]

Probably because they don't have any back where they come from. Or... so I assume.

Let me guess. You usually have to deal with people asking about as many questions as I do about that sort of thing?

[nilhilistic]

I don't mind the number. It's when they get impertinent that annoys me.

[followyourstar]

Impertinent?

[nilhilistic]

Whether I eat people and so on.

[followyourstar]

That sort of impertinent. Got it.

[It seems like it would be a good thing to know one way or the other but it also seems like it's better to assume the answer to that question is "yes."]

I mean, I get it. I really do. There's always those kinds of questions mixed in with the ones that make sense.

[nilhilistic]

Which ones do you get?

[followyourstar]

"What time is it?" "Are the clock hands more like your eyes or your mouth?" That kind of thing.

[nilhilistic]

So you understand how irritating it can be.

[followyourstar]

Yeah, I get it. Kinda glad I'm not the only one who does, actually.

[nilhilistic]

It is nice to meet other creatures. Not all humans or human like people.

[followyourstar]

Um
I'm not a creature. I'm human.
