Video - Back dated to whenever the dragons hatched

[deadmanbusiness]

[The screen opens up to a shot of one of Theo's undead rats scurring across, blocking the view. Some cracking noise follows, like an egg hatching to be exact. And then a very shocked Theo making a very shocked exclamation.]

What the... agh... Dragon!

[And then a gun shot.

A long pause follows before..]

Damn evil buggers.

[The video shuts off.]

What just happened?

That was a gun shot, wasn't it. Everything okay?

[deadmanbusiness]

[Oh. Hey. Helpful, painful, angel dude.]

I just killed a dragon.

[He sounds remarkably pleased with himself, even if it was a baby.]

[beyourarmy]

[Hey, poor easily pained by holy person.]

[Also, not so pleased sounding.]

What'd you do that for?

[deadmanbusiness]

[S'up dude.]

It startled me. And... dragons and I don't do well.

[beyourarmy]

But...someone might've been able to take it off your hands.

[deadmanbusiness]

[Pause.]

I didn't think about that.

I just thought "Dragon!"

[beyourarmy]

You might not be the only one, I guess. Most people are probably gonna freak.

[deadmanbusiness]

Possibly. Or think they're the cutest things to ever happened to the city.

[beyourarmy]

They're scaly. Not so sure about cute.

...okay, yeah, they're kinda cute.

[deadmanbusiness]

My cousin would love one.

[His cousin is also crazy...like most of his family...]

Have you run into any?

[beyourarmy]

Your cousin like dragons? Or just scaly things? I know a princess that loves them. She's why I think they're a bit cooler, now.

Ah, yeah. Two people in the house I live in ended up with them. I didn't find an egg of my own, though.

[deadmanbusiness]

More like she just likes things that can cause massive amounts of destruction.

Being a dragon is just a bonus.

[beyourarmy]

Oh. Sounds like a dangerous person to know.

[deadmanbusiness]

[He can't help but smile at this.]

She's going to be, if things work out, a sea goddess. Those are very destructive.

She's also sixteen and an utter sweetheart.

[With a destructive side...]

[beyourarmy]

Sea goddess. Yeah....

Sweetheart, but likes destructive things. She got split personality or something?

[deadmanbusiness]

Does one preclude the other?

It's really kinda funny watching Maya go all agaga about Mayhem saying things like "who's a cute little ball of destruction? You are! Do you want to eat some of Uncle Mel's pens? Yes, you do! Soon you will be big enough to eat through all sorts of protective wardings that could bring utter despair to all of the west coast and thus punish them for polluting the ocean. Do you want a belly rub?"


[Have we mentioned Theo's family is weird?]

[beyourarmy]

I guess not, but usually nice people don't like seeing things destroyed. Unless they've gone crazy!

[And yep, hearing about her, she does not sound sane to Setsuna. He just stares for a while.]

That sounds scary. You think it's funny?!

[deadmanbusiness]

You know, I don't think I can answer that question properly because it seems perfectly normal to me.

[beyourarmy]

Some people can get used to anything.

[deadmanbusiness]

Is it getting used to if it's the only thing you've ever known?

[beyourarmy]

Guess you gotta a point with that.

Makes me wonder how sane you are, though.

[deadmanbusiness]

I've had that question before...

[beyourarmy]

You don't even know?

[deadmanbusiness]

I think it's more a difference of morals.

[beyourarmy]

Really? Is that why I wouldn't want to shoot the dragon, but you did? A difference in morals?
