WHO: Bight/Crucible
WHERE: Abandoned warehouses and around the city
WHEN: Between 26th and 30th of September
WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: Bight spends time about the city and works on creating sample wards at an abandoned warehouse that he'd taken regular residence to.
FORMAT: player preference.

After his talk with one Rick Bradbury, Bight had seen to collecting a few needed materials before making his way to one of the abandoned warehouses he often used. Using the privacy to work on a number of small scale, portable wards for the demonstration he intended to give Bradbury and anyone else who happened to be present on the following Monday. He had already set up a simple ward around the warehouse itself, that would alert him to any approaching without alerting them to his presence.

He knew there were other imports and occasionally the homeless and gangs who liked to use the warehouses, he had made a note to scare any gangs in the area away from this particular series of warehouses. He wasn't one to shun company entirely however as he worked at the desk he had set up, boxes of seemingly random parts and goods carefully arranged around, along with a small number of bronze dragon scales he had carefully set beneath other parts to conceal them.

After a time of work, most nights he took to his true form and often took the chance to take a nightly swim and flight to stretch his wings before surveying the city from the rooftops, taking in the sights and sounds from on high. Occasionally keeping an eye out for any trouble on the streets that he could assist with. Spending most nights in this manner before returning to his warehouse to continue his work.

Kang didn't bother dropping his true form after leaving the D.O.I. benefit. It had been interesting, and he'd met a few new people, but it hadn't really been his sort of scene. Instead of heading back to his quarters, he chose to go to the park, enjoying the evening weather.

He didn't expect to find Crucible swimming in the lake, though.

He froze, unsure if he'd been seen, and debated turning around and quietly leaving if he hadn't.

The moment Kang had drawn near the lake it would have been near impossible for Crucible not to have noticed him. The scent of of the draconian was a hard one to miss for the Bronze dragon as he surfaced from a casual swim under the water. Fortunately there didn't seem to be many in the park that night, thus he'd taken the opportunity to take a dip in the lake.

For a moment he appeared not to have noticed Kang as he moved close to the shore before he finally turned his gaze to the draconian proper as he set himself in the shallows.

"Greetings Kang, it has been some time,"

Well. It'd look bad if he left now. Kang muttered a curse under his breath, pushed down his unease, and moved a little closer to the edge of the lake. He'd spent time with Crucible in human form before, but it was much more intimidating seeing him in his true form.

"Yes, it has."

Crucible shifted his position as the draconian approached, crossing his fore limbs over one another in a relaxed position, he doubted it would do much to quell the draconian's unease, but it was an effort.

"I see that your shape shifting has come along well," he comments with some approval as he swept his gaze over Kang's form.

"How has your..stay in the city been since last we spoke?"

"I've been practicing," Kang smiled wryly, crossing his arms over his chest. "Busy. I have a construction job, and night classes. Have you had any luck in finding a job?"

"It has well paid off it would seem," Crucible commented easily before giving an approving rumble to Kang's reply. dipping his snout everso slightly to question, "I have not been looking in great detail until recently, however it appears that city hall is in need of additional security, I have put my services forward in the aspect of magical and supernatural security. The interview as it were will be at the start of the week,"

"Who better to guard it than a dragon lord?" Kang said, without a hint of animosity. Especially one as old and as powerful as Crucible. "They would have a hell of a time fitting you in there in your natural form. Will they be made aware of what you really are?"

Crucible dipped his head in acknowledgment to Kang's comment before giving a rumbling chuckle, "I would barely be able to fit my head through the largest door they have, but indeed, my work with them for now will likely consist of setting up a number of wards. For that Hogan Bight would be more than sufficient, however should the situation arise where I am truly needed I will make them aware of my full identity,"

Kang nodded, "And if they aren't pleased you hid such a secret from them? It's a risk, considering the myths about dragons many here grew up on, and Khisanth's presence. Speaking of her, I haven't heard anything from her in weeks."

Crucible dipped his head in acknowledgement of the possibility, "If they aren't I shall abide by whatever decision they should come to. I do intend however to make my presence here as I am, perhaps if I am seen to be of assistance to the city and its people rather than a threat..but we shall see,"

"Indeed, I have wondered, there has been no sign of her in the city for some time, whether by network, people or animals. Perhaps she has been ported out? Or merely biding her time,"

"We're Imports. We're automatically a threat to a fair number of the natives, no matter what each of us has done individually, all because we have 'powers'," Kang said dryly.

"It could be either one."

"That is true, especially so in cases such as myself I would suppose," He commented with a glance to his exceptionally large form, few after all could claim to such an intimidatingly large form bar Aurican, "Many of the employees at City hall however, including head of security are imports themselves, so we shall see,"

"Indeed, in either case she is not causing trouble for the city at the very least,"

Kang nodded. "Yes, we'll see." He hesitated for a moment before adding, "If there should be any trouble, you can refer them to me. Reassurances that you aren't a threat may mean more coming from someone like me."

Someone who had reason to hold a grudge. He could do that much, at least. He wouldn't lie about the nature of metallic dragons any more than he would his own nature.

"For now. She might come back."

Crucible regarded Kang for a moment at the offer before dipping his head, "It would mean a good deal more coming from one such as yourself indeed. You have my thanks, Kang," That a draconian would offer as much was a rare thing indeed.

He let his gaze wander out over the park as he considered that for a moment, "I shall stay vigilant in case of her return, if I learn anything, you shall be the first to know,"
