[dignity_misery]

[[ooc; Dated forward because weekends are no longer actually great times for me to tag anymore, go figure.]]

[Carla is definitely barbecuing baby dragons. This is absolutely a fact, the large glass doors of her flat looking out onto the ocean are open while she works on the back patio. She has a little lizard skewered on a knife, rotating it lazily over the flames of a small grill.

She is recording this for posterity.]

I've never eaten dragon before.

[And she has eaten a number of disgusting creatures.]

What do you think, Peanut?

[The puppy is at her feet, nibbling away, tail wagging. Carla takes this as a sign it's delicious. She pulls the second little dragon back from the fire, examining it thoughtfully before she works off a leg and nibbles off the meat.]

It tastes alright. [But then again she would eat anything, filthy zombie wretch.] But...

[She frowns as she continues eating. Pausing for a moment to cough up a smoke ring uncomfortably.]

[Peanut, on the other hand, belches up a full mouthful of fire which causes Carla to jerk awkwardly out of the way.]

Fuck.

Did Peanut just breathe out flames?

[dignity_misery]

Karl.

[Little sister is not quite whining. But. Really. Yes, her dog is belching flames.]

[worldofourown]

[ So he is. ]

Perhaps you ought to keep him in the oven? For the time being.

[ Not a trace of sarcasm. He's quite serious. ]

[dignity_misery]

[ She stares at him for a moment before a laugh cackles out of her. ]

He'll melt it.

[ She has him out of the flat, and he is melting the sand on the beach. ]

[worldofourown]

[ They sure don't make oven like they used to 8( ]

Not considering keeping the dragons as a temporary pet.

[ He has. He's planning to present it to Diva. ]

[dignity_misery]

[ She shrugs boredly. ]

When else was I going to get to eat one?

[ Although she's a tad exasperated with the experiment. ]

[worldofourown]

Point. But even I could tell you they'd taste like char and sinew. Creatures of flame and all.

[ He perks up. ]

If one of the dragons in my menagerie grows wings [ And doesn't chomp its owner in half ] you could fly around on its back.

[dignity_misery]

I can 'fly around' on your back.

[This got weirdly affectionate all of a sudden. Gross.]

[worldofourown]

[ Ew no they don't have feelings stopppp! ]

You could, and you do. But I imagine a dragon would be a different experience. Think of all the buildings you could get it to breathe fire on from on high.

[ Fun times, man. ]

[dignity_misery]

[She does think of it, giving a dazed little smile, voice a conspiratorial little whisper,]

I would burn it all.

[Maybe it's best not to give her that power.]

[worldofourown]

[ The edge of his lip curls. ]

I know you would. It would be interesting to watch. Or more than watch.

[ There's something so cleansing about destruction on an enormous scale. ]

[dignity_misery]

You can watch.

[Because she is bad at sharing.]

[worldofourown]

I always was partial to fireworks displays, even as a boy.

[ This would be considerably more entertaining. ]

[ And gorier. ]
