A casual stroll around the city

[dragonlordbight]

WHO:Bitty!Crucible and You!
WHERE: Anywhere around the city.
WHEN: Backdated day or two into age plot
WARNINGS: None as yet.
SUMMARY: Crucible has the urge to explore the city more closely, so city have a dragon roaming the streets.
FORMAT:



After some time getting used to the sudden change that had been inflicted on him, the once 2000 or so year old Crucible, seemed to be near only a century. Although he remembered everything that had come before, having spent time going through the network posts of late, it seemed that he was not alone in his apparent 'de-aging'.

He was not one to stay cooped up in his apartment for too long however and on an urge had left his apartment. Strolling around for a time to get some fresh air in his younger human form for a time before on a whim ducking into an alley to take on his true form, now all of twenty foot long. Somewhat less restrained than he usually would be, casually strode along the foot paths irrespective of the commotion he caused.

When he seemed to be attracting too much attention he took to wing and continued his way above the city, occasionally hopping from rooftop to rooftop before ending up in the park where he took to swimming about the lake.

Word in the run down part of the City where Ghost spent most of his time spread quickly, and he left his basement dwelling to peer down the street toward the (modestly sized?) dragon. Most costumed superhumans, he reflected briefly, would probably immediately attack Crucible (media influenced speciests that they were), and amass considerable property damage in an area that was already hurting for resources, but Ghost drifted up harmlessly enough with his palms up and showing in a hopefully multiversal symbol for peace.

Ghost had DM'd many a dungeoncrawl, back in his pre-costumed days. He knew things weren't always as they seemed. And dragons were kind of incredibly cool to meet face to face, it never got old.

"Hello...?"

[dragonlordbight]

Crucible wasn't one to mind the attention one bit as he'd strode his way down the street with a confidence and grace few bar cats and dragons could achieve. He was far from unaware of his surroundings however as his gaze swept the street of the seemingly run down suburb his trail had lead him to.

His gaze quickly settled on the individual who decided to approach him, hands held up in a sign of peace. Curiosity gleaming in his eyes as he looked the man over before dipping his head ever so slightly in a sign that he could approach.

"Greetings, you needn't worry, I mean you no harm,"

[hacktivist]

He didn't know enough about dragons to tell if this one was just small or young (that had been going around lately), and he wasn't about to ask, it'd probably be rude. Aware of a few curious onlookers who were keeping their distance, he was fairly well known in this area, and he had a 92% certainty that nobody was going to call the cops, not even on a dragon. Thankfully.

"Heh, lucky me." He dropped his hands to his sides, "I am Ghost. What's your name?"

[dragonlordbight]

"Indeed," He commented with some amusement before dipping his head the slightest bit in return for his introduction, a curious name, though he wasn't one to comment.

"Well met, Ghost, I am known as Crucible."

[hacktivist]

"Crucible." Ghost repeated, "Are you hungry?"

It might have been an insulting question, but he decided it was better to risk possible insult than ignore it and find out the hard way.

[dragonlordbight]

Crucible tilted his head slightly at the question, "No, I am not. Even if I was I do not eat humans, if that is your worry,"

He gave a light snort at that as he peered down over the human and his curious get up, far different that what he was used to seeing most wear.

[hacktivist]

"Heh heh heh." It was reassuring to be around someone who spoke bluntly, not forcing Ghost to pick uncertainly through double meanings with his limited social repertoire. It helped him to relax, to be more natural.

"I would prefer if you ate humans in the Wall Street district, yes... but that will do."

He drifted away; turned and started down the street, glancing back over his shoulder.

"How long have you been in the City?"

[dragonlordbight]

Crucible rose an eyeridge at his comment, "Is that so?" he commented with a snort, no doubt the one before him had something against those in 'Wall Street', though that was of little concern to Crucible for now.

With a slight flick of his tail he continued after Ghost, "It has been just over two months since I was brought to this place,"

"How long has it been since you were brought to this world, Ghost?"

[hacktivist]

"Approximately four hundred sixty nine days, with one brief interruption by the Porter to return home for nineteen days."

Ghost opened his arms in a kind of fatalistic 'what're you gonna do' shrug, "Many imports have been detained for longer. And this world resembles my own in key ways that permit me to interface with it effectively. I imagine yours is very different."

Sorry for the delay, rather busy latter half to the week

[dragonlordbight]

"A considerable time in comparison to my own, yet but such a time would be but a drop in the lake for one who has lived as long as myself, although I have more important matters waiting at home,"

Crucible gave a snort to Ghost's shrug before taking a moment to sweep the buildings around with his gaze, "Indeed, this world is considerably different in culture, society and technology than my city or even Krynn itself,"
