The 79th Song

[tangledintower]

[Rapunzel's apartment has been awfully quiet since her roommates left the City. She's got a guest keeping her occupied now, though, a scaly little guest who set her shower curtains on fire this morning.

So now, Rapunzel and the dragon that she's started to call Dennis are sitting in her living room, just staring at each other.]

Okay, Dennis. You're bigger tonight than you were last night, and you're just gonna keep getting bigger, aren't you?

[Dennis responds by blowing a smoke ring and chirping. Rapunzel just smiles sightly, shaking her head.]

I take it that's a yes? I'm gonna assume that's a yes. We're going to need to find a way to shrink you before you get too big...

[Dennis just blows a little flame, and Rapunzel laughs.]

You owe me new shower curtains, you know.

[This face doesn't belong to Charlie at all. It belongs to a black dragon about the size of a cat, maybe bigger. She's watching Dennis with large, yellow eyes and occasionally tries getting his attention through snorts and the random puff of electricity. Those cause the feed to blur for a moment, static taking over before Charlie's face appears. The dragon's now on her shoulder.]

Affinity likes your dragon.

[Dennis just stares at the video of the other dragon curiously, blinking and occasionally pecking at the screen, as if trying to touch the other dragon. Rapunzel laughs and grins.]

Charlie, Affinity, meet Dennis. Dennis, look, I think Affinity wants to be friends!

Re: video:

[Affinity chirps, nosing at the screen again before running around it a few times. Yes, she definitely wants to be friends. Hello, other dragon!

Charlie grins at Rapunzel.]

So he's a firebreather?

[tangledintower]

I think so! Nothing big, though, just little puffs.

This is possibly one of the coolest things that's happened in the City. Mine spits electricity. It's sort of amusing.

Re: video:

[tangledintower]

Oooh, really? That's so cool, I didn't know there were dragons that could do that!

[ He chuckles. ]

I can shrink him.

[Video]

[tangledintower]

Really? Oh, Merlin, that would be fantastic, thank you so much!!

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

It's no problem. Just tell me where.

[ He's more than happy to help people keep dragons. Amazing creatures. ]

[Video]

[tangledintower]

Well, we're at my apartment right now, but I can come to you if it's easier!

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Doesn't really matter, I can come to you.

[Video]

[tangledintower]

Thank you so much, Merlin!

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

You're welcome. I'll see you soon.

[Video]

[tangledintower]

Door's unlocked, just knock and come on in whenever you get here!

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Okay, I'll do that.

[ He's not so good about even knocking, so let's see how that goes. ]

[Video]

[tangledintower]

[Well, she'll be here, door open!]

[Action]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ And he'll just be going in without knocking. ]

Hellooo?

[Action]

[tangledintower]

Hi, Merlin! We're in the kitchen, make yourself comfortable!

[Action]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ He makes his way there without a word, and sends her a smile before he turns his attention to the dragon. ]

[Action]

[tangledintower]

[The dragon hops up, tilting its head as it stares at Merlin, before blowing s smoke ring.]

He likes doing those.

[Action]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[ He chuckles and approaches it, leaning forward. ]

I can understand why. Hey, there.

[Action]

[tangledintower]

[Dennis chirps at Merlin before approaching slowly.]

... Are you sure the dragon's safe?

video;

[tangledintower]

Apart from the shower curtains, he hasn't set anything else on fire. And honestly, I think that might have been an accident.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

I hope so. I wouldn't want it to turn on you.

video;

[tangledintower]

Same...but he's been well behaved so far!

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

So far.

... You'll stay safe, right?

video;

[tangledintower]

I'll do my best to.

[Video]

[standing_alone]

I'd be careful if I were you. [Especially with all of her hair! That could be a disaster.]

[Video]

[tangledintower]

[Oh, that would be very bad.]

Don't worry, I'm being careful. Dennis didn't mean to set the curtains on fire, he sneezed and it just sort of happened...
