ϡ - Chapter Seventeen; in which one becomes a dragon [action]

[ Anyone in the vicinity of Community Housing 7 will, at that moment, hear a very loud roar coming from apartment 22 on floor 5. The glass of the windows in the kitchen will shatter and go flying and there will be some smoke coming out from the windows. Also if you come to investigate you'll see deep claw markings in the door's entry way. Whoops Helios is honestly sorry about that Frederic. He'll apologize later for the mess and for waking you up, he was just startled, hence the roar which would have been a yell but you know...translations and all. He had to leave before he got any bigger and destroyed the entire apartment. At least the houses fix themselves.

There is a golden scaled dragon in your town today Luceti and it looks vicious, but honestly it's pretty derpy and harmless. Well besides his tail, which he still hasn't gotten control of just yet. You also might feel your room shake as he walks by your house/apartment complex. He's about the size of a large house and he's wearing glass which apparently changed with his size, the Malnosso like to joke don't they? You'll also see his tiny golden green tipped wings beside his more larger golden ones. It's a clue as to who it is but he'll answer you if you ask. This dragon is on a mission, albeit a futile one. You might see him walking a bit in the woods and eventually ending up in front of the Bakery. Sweets...he wanted some and now he can't even fit through the door. He'll be sitting on his hind legs, tail curled around him and a clawed hand rubbing his chin. Indiscreet? Never, not when baked goods are concerned. He's trying to devise a way to get in there...but without doing some serious damage there are no options. No matter he doesn't want to alarm anyone so sometime later he will make his way down to the lake and there he will be, talking to himself, and staying there for the majority of well...however long this decides to last. He's honestly not going to be able to make a voice post with huge vicious claws anytime soon. Besides he can probably be heard from anywhere anyway; his voice carries nicely in this form. ]

Oh for goodness sake I don't know how they deal with being this large. [ There's a pause and a snort. ] I suppose the experiment is still going on then. [ Another sigh though it sounds more like an annoyed growl. ] But they can change their forms into humans. I wonder if I can just get that right...and then there is the ring. [ He will just be babbling don't mind the brooding dragon, lounging beside the lake, tapping a clawed hand into the ground folks. He is merely thinking and when Helios thinks it's usually good...sometimes. But you might want to watch the tail it's swaying erratically because that thing has a mind of its own. ]

((ooc; So you can meet him at any point in time! The time continuum is pretty broken in this post. While he's walking, at the bakery, or in the woods by the lake just specify I guess. Also he's going to stick out like a sore thumb anywhere he goes anyway. I'll be replying with

isthemyth for icon convenience. Also replies will be delayed since I has class~))

[ He's sorry. He just gets excited talking about such things with someone else. ]

Very true. It definately had a major impact on the religion at least. I did get a tip on the whereabouts of Kaknu still being in the area. It's one of the reasons why I went. A bit of a side job you could say. [ He does grin a little at that. Though he didn't actually find said mythological culture hero. ]

...Kaknu?

He actually was in Sunnydale, for a few days. Maybe you just missed him.

[ He'll give another laugh. ]

Really? Though should I ask what exactly he was doing there?

Trying to use the power of the Hellmouth to contact Coyote, I believe.

That would make sense for him to do, he is his grandson after all. I also believe you have one ahead of me in terms of myths too, Giles. [ Just smirking now. ]

[He laughs.] No, I believe I'm one less behind you.

[ He'll pause before thinking about something. He's a bit tentative before asking it and he'll look back and forth between the Bakery and Giles. ] The other day...what were you about to say before you--ah got teleported, again?

Hm? [Giles has to play back the memory for a second - that last teleport was pretty jarring. Then he remembers, and he shakes his head.]

It's nothing important, Helios. I was just about to say that I was going to try and start playing my guitar a bit more often. I keep putting it off, waiting for a better time, and I've realized this week that there really won't be one.

It's probably dreadfully out of tune, by now.

[ Have a scoff accompanied by some smoke coming from his nose. ] That's more of a reason why you should do it! I think if you let them get the better of you it'd just give them more incentive to keep doing these...horrible experiments. Dreadful as they may be, it helps having periods of rest after them.

I think the people here might like to hear it. We have several musicians I think. You can never really go wrong with music.

It helps, yes. Having some time to settle down and re-arm, as it were.

I doubt anyone will be at all familiar with the sort of music I like, of course. Which is a great shame.

The people around here are pretty open to new things...er, when it's not life threatening. [ A shame what happened on Halloween because that is his favorite holiday and having it being associated with what happened. That's well...that's Luceti for you. ]

Who knows, you might even gather a few fans. [ Like Frederic only, you know, New Age. ]

Fans? [Giles goes just a bit red at the thought. Has he cleaned his glasses yet? He'll just go ahead and clean his glasses again.] Certainly not. I've barely ever even played in public. [Not since coming to Sunnydale, at least.]

[ Rofl Giles he'll pretend he didn't see that. He flicks his tail once more, thinking. ] Hm. It couldn't hurt to try. But--ah I understand your reserves about the matter. [ Speaking of trying he was thinking of testing out flying. That will probably end badly, yes? ]

My reserves about the matter are that I'll never hear the end of it from Buffy, Willow, and Xander. This is quite a small village, compared to Sunnydale.

Ah yes. If that's the case I completely understand where you're coming from. I doubt I'd hear the end of it if Ra, Varron, or any of my students where here and could see me like this.

Oh, I don't know. You could probably manage to be quite intimidating to your students in this shape.

[ He'll give a toothy grin. He does like trolling his own students sometimes. ] True...

They're not easily intimidated, er, well the non-human ones at least. Even then some of the regular human students might find it 'cool'.

You're the size of a house. You could, if you were a different sort of person, step on them.

A different sort of person...hm? You might be right. We all have our darker moments. I'm sure as far as parallel worlds go there's more of me that aren't exactly nice.

...I didn't mean that, Helios. I'm sorry. I guess I'm s-still a bit, well, um, morbid. That parallel version of me certainly had enough cause to be - perhaps it's, ah, rubbed off.

N-No it's fine. After everything that's happened it's...only natural. Luceti can certainly do that to you. Though I wish it weren't so.

So do I.

...I still have to tell Okita-san and Alf that the world didn't end and I'm not actually dead. Oh, and apologize to Xander for threatening him with a crossbow. And I think I might owe Frederic a new baton. To say nothing of Buffy.[Depressed Giles is getting even more depressed.] And I am sorry for dragging you all that way, Helios - I know that was probably painful.

The thing about the people in this place is that they're understanding, and willing to let you explain. I'm sure they'll understand once you tell them, Frederic and hopefully Buffy as well. You're quite close to her aren't you? I think she'll understand given the circumstances. [ He'll shake his head. ] Giles, please, you don't have to apologize about that. It wasn't as if I gave you much of a choice at that point.

I hope you're right.

Still. At least it seems to be over with. No thought bubbles, teleportation, or alternate lives. Even if it is a temporary respite.

Besides, you seem to be adjusting remarkably well to being a dragon.

Which is good, I think you've been through enough. If only I could have a few words with the Malnosso in this current form. [ He looks a bit angry, yup. ]

I've been tempted to give flying a shot in all honesty. You never know when you'll wake up as a dragon next.
