If anybody is still having trouble with dragons then i can probably help
Ive never really fought a dragon before but i have fought things that were just as strong
And i can use fire and lightning and all of that just the same

But first of all:

If anybody knows how to make them small again I need your help
I need to keep this one

Please

[orangetoughguy]

seen a pink one slithering around?

[wouldnotkindly]

I dont think ive seen any ones that were pink
Ive just been trying to keep an eye on this one

[Not that, without a visual, there's any indication of what "this one" is...]

[orangetoughguy]

we got a report of a ground scuttler, no wings, crawls around and attacks from below, kind of like an ambush dragon

what do you got?

[wouldnotkindly]

This one has wings, hes been flying around but not too high for some reason
Hes black with blue spots and he breathes lightning instead of fire

[orangetoughguy]

think he's seen any pink dragons?

[wouldnotkindly]

I dont know
I would ask him but we are still having some communication issues

[orangetoughguy]

and you wanna keep something that could shock you cause it thought you said yes?

[wouldnotkindly]

No i mean
He can understand me okay
I think
Probably because of how my voice is
But not the other way around

Its not like i actually speak dragon or anything

[mr_phale]

Er, why would you want to keep one?

[wouldnotkindly]

Because
Well
Because i like him
Because hes a little like me
And i think he likes me too

If hes small again then he cant really hurt anything right
So everything should be ok

[mr_phale]

Well, I can hardly fault that, but I'm not sure even a small dragon is, er, particularly safe.

[wouldnotkindly]

Ive handled worse than him before
Much worse

[mr_phale]

But can you keep him from troubling others?

[wouldnotkindly]

It didnt take much to get him to stop trying to electrocute me
So i dont think it would be very difficult to keep him from doing it to others

[mr_phale]

And what about all the rest of them, I wonder? It does seem rather cruel, I'm sure the poor things had no say in ending up here, either.

[wouldnotkindly]

[There's a pause.]

To be honest i was thinking the same thing

I dont know if that thing in the sky will be taking them wherever they were before they showed up here
But i know that where i was before i showed up here isnt a place i would want to go back to
Just because its my home

It seems to me like he likes it here anyway

[mr_phale]

Does it, now? How so?

[wouldnotkindly]

Well
I dont really know exactly
Its just a feeling mostly

But even after he started getting big he hasnt tried to fly away or anything
Not for long anyway
Hes been flying around some but he hasnt gone too far away from me yet
And he always comes back

[mr_phale]

It does rather sound like you've made a friend.

[wouldnotkindly]

I think so too

[He pauses again.]

I dont really have very many of those
So thats why i want him to be able to stay.

[mr_phale]

Oh, well.

[Tug at his heart strings why don't you. Everyone deserves friends. Even slithery scaly people who cause nothing but trouble.]

I do hope you manage to sort it out.

[Which is to say, in, oh, half an hour or so, the problem will magically sort itself out. Well, not so much magically as miraculously.]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I can make them small.

[wouldnotkindly]

[The response doesn't come for some time, during which...]

Thank you
But something happened
I dont really know exactly what happened but now hes small again
Somehow
So i dont think i need any help anymore

But thank you
I mean it

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Oh. Well, that's good then.

[A girl with big black raven wings is holding a dragon in her hands...and the dragon is encased in a miniature sun. A real live roiling sun.]

I can help with that.

[wouldnotkindly]

[Whoa what.

What is he looking at.]

Thank you
But he turned small again so i dont need any help anymore

[Uhh.]

What is that ?

video;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

[Utsuho offers the sun a little closer to the camera.]

It's a sun. Fusion fire. It also has high pressure, so it shrinks her down.

text;

[wouldnotkindly]

Thats a sun ?

[Whoa.]

I always thought suns were supposed to be bigger than that

text;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Yeah, mine can get bigger. But hey, the one in the sky doesn't look so big.

text;

[wouldnotkindly]

I guess not
But i thought that was because its so far away

[Hm.]

You made that ?

video;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

That's what Orin keeps saying, but no matter how high I fly, it doesn't look any bigger.

Yeah, I did. It's my magic.

text;

[wouldnotkindly]

[He might have laughed at that, if he could.]

I didnt know magic could do that
I mean i didnt know a lot about magic to begin with
But i definitely didnt know about that

text;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Yeah, magic in Gensokyo can do a lot of things.

What's your name? I'm Utsuho.

[wouldnotkindly]

Jack
Its nice to meet you Miss Utsuho

I dont think ive ever heard of gensokyo

Re: text;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

Ah -- no, just Utsuho, really, I'm not a Miss, I'm just a raven!

It's where I come from. I guess nobody here has heard of it.

[wouldnotkindly]

Okay if you say so

[A raven, huh.]

I dont think ive ever seen a raven that looked quite like you
