text to wesley: action elsewhere.

[Someone only barely figured out how to use a filter. As it is, it's a fail!filter and still goes out to the entire village. Oops. Can you blame her? She's excited.]

[Text to Wesley and accidentally everyone else.]

Somehow managed to get two jobs since I've been here. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am right now.


[Action: Morning: The Jasmine Dragon.]


[Come see Charlie for all your tea-related needs. She's still technically in training so she might flub stuff. But don't worry. She's quick to recover and your tea will always be piping hot.]

[action: evening: unnamed junk store.]

[She's only here for a couple hours. Still getting used to the place and sort of trying to keep things organized. She also stopped on her way from her first job to here to get sandwiches and food for herself and her boss. She'll be wandering around, looking at everything in the shop and trying to remember what objects do what.]

[It's the only reason why Alec can handle them without any problems. Though he's a terrible person for selling the stuff.]

Dunno. But that's what the rules of the world said it was.

[He pokes it idly and it starts going in the other direction like an air hockey puck.]

I'll probably need a box for this.

How can you tie bells on something that's frictionless?

[Actually that begs the question, how did Alec carry it into the shop in the first place... but this is Alec we're talking about. He and reality have a subjective relationship with each other.]

Hold the box up to the counter and I'll push it into it.
element_wizard: (Whut?)

[He pushes the bean into the box. It's not as heavy as it looks, but it's still got some heft to it.]

Crack? What crack?

[Alec is suddenly very tense and alert. He doesn't want a pet Eragon verse dragon... Knowing his tendencies for attracting these things he's now very worried.]

Noo... No... you didn't.

It's an egg, you see?

I didn't think it'd hatch. I thought I dormented it.

[Of course then again his powers run on the Need of Plot, so there. Also dormented is not a word, so of course whatever he tried to do didn't work.]

Dragon's egg.

Telepathic dragon, to be exact.

[Alec is SO not touching this egg.]
element_wizard: (Peeeeeer)

Oh. Well. Um. It's a life bond thing you've got going on now. Whole partners see through their eyes, pain when you feel pain, she... or he...

[He peers at the dragon uncertainly]

will die when you die, unable to live without you.

Magic... you'll be able to use magic. I could probably help you with that.
element_wizard: (Huh)

[personal profile] element_wizard 2013-03-28 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Funny how that works.

[He grabs the sandwiches and hands them over to her.] Here Feed.

[Then Alec looks a bit sheepish.]

Well... this is my fault as I snatched the egg from some other world. I didn't actually expect it to hatch. So it's really not the the town's fault so much as just what happens around me.

Dragon names are tricky... I mean, I've heard everything from Hiccup to Syzdothyx.

[No, he didn't just hack up a hairball there. It was a name.]

Generally they'll either tell you their name... or disagree with whatever name you try to give them until they find one they like.

As for gender... dunno on that one. Some dragon types have specific coloration. Like Trey up there. Browns are always male. But these... I guess you'd have to ask when she? is older.
