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~))

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.

[Now there's a thought.]

It's worth a try, certainly. After all, you have functioning wings and so you might as well make use of them while you can.

I would not recommend making the effort here in the village, however.

Oh most certainly not. I was thinking about going into the desert, there's not much out there to get in the way. Perhaps trying to breathe fire would be a worthy experiment too. [ Just tapping his chin with a claw now, yup. ]

A good thing about this experiment is it at least gives me some more in depth information on dragons. I doubt there's a better way than actually becoming one.

Oh, certainly not. No better way to understand a being than to walk a mile in its shoes or spend a day under its scales.

I imagine that week you spent as a woman was equally enlightening.

[ Can dragons get embarrassed? Well at least show it? They can, right? Because Helios is currently rubbing his neck with a clawed hand. You had to remind him, didn't you? ]

Ye-Yes that was...um, very informative. More so than I would like to comfortably admit.

[Subject change time.]

And I'm sure there weren't quite so many small children around the village as there have been this week. [Not the most graceful subject change, but still kind of relevant. Right?]

[ Honestly he doesn't mind. ]

No there certainly hasn't been. I'm surprised there haven't been many people turned into creatures either. Though, this experiment has been rather...random. [ Oh yeah sure. Completely relevant. ]

[The irony of that last statement might just hit Giles later tonight when he's off hunting as a vampire.]

"Rather random"? That's a polite turn of phrase for all of this mess.

Oh dear, you're right. I just can't seem to call it much else as much as I'd like to. I suppose a sufficient enough phrase would be it's all gone to hell.

Precisely what I was thinking, as a matter of fact.

...are you planning on explaining to whoever owns the Bakery just what you're doing out here?

Ah-well I was just... [ He'll look back at the Bakery. ]

I really was in the mood for something sweet. I can't exactly get inside with this form. [ He will return his gaze back towards you now Giles. ] Though...since you are here...would you mind perhaps picking something up for me?

Helios, would you like me to go and pick up some sweets for you?

Ah...we-well if it's not too much trouble. I've already kept you out in the cold long enough as it is. You must be freezing. [ The look on his face is rather apologetic. ]

I can handle cold. I'm almost enjoying cold, actually. Besides, you're currently serving as a rather effective windbreaker, so I hope you don't mind my taking advantage of that.

And it's not too much trouble. Not in the slightest. Any preferences?

Ah that's right. I suppose California doesn't get much-- [ He'll motion with his claws the surrounding area. ] --like this. [ That gets a loud laugh from him. ]

Oh not in the least. I'm glad being this large is good for something. [ He taps his claw on the ground, thinking for a moment. ] Cookies if they have, otherwise anything will really do.

Right. [Giles heads for the front door.] Give me ten minutes.

[Ten minutes later, Giles walks out holding a few plastic bags, which he sets down in front of Helios.

There are cookies. Several different sorts of cookies. And a cake, and a pie.]

[ You have an extremely content dragon in front of you Giles. If smiling wasn't so fearsome looking he's do it in a heartbeat, but instead his tail it is swaying rather enthusiastically. ] Ah, Giles, you're a lifesaver. I can't thank you enough!

[ How is he going to eat this? We don't know but he will because as far as food is concerned sweets, he needs them. ]

[How are you going to eat this, Helios? Giles ponders the question for a second.]

Perhaps I could, um, toss them to you?
