how are you feeling?

[It seems that perhaps we should speak,] Isibel says to Lycaelon. She wishes him a cup of tea, wherever he is, hovering in the air waiting for him to take it. [Though I confess I do not know where to begin.]

Comments

[her_imperial_radiance]

Elspeth bursts out laughing.

[pythbox]

"What?" she says indignantly.

[her_imperial_radiance]

"It's just cute."

[thaumobabble]

"I can confirm that I haven't, actually, seen a perform-unspeakable-acts attractor stuck to Chainsaw, let alone Sandy. I can go have a look at Sandalon, I guess."

[small_magics]

"If you wouldn't mind."

[thaumobabble]

Pop. "Hi, Sandalon, I'm one of Isibel's alts, looking over your template features, don't mind me."

[thinklikethis]

After one deeply curious glance, he appears to take this elven-literally, and commences ignoring her in favour of his neglected carving.

[thaumobabble]

Glass inspects him, then pops away again.

"Yeah, nothing spooked me there."

[small_magics]

"Very well. I suppose we may as well grant Arianna her wish."

[pythbox]

Arianna bounces again, gleefully.

[small_magics]

And Arianna's wish is granted. Presumably to the fascination of Elasirae, who hasn't seen this done before.

[pythbox]

Elasirae is duly fascinated!

Arianna giggles and leaps into the air, calling back "Thank yoooooooooooooou~" as she flies away.

[small_magics]

"I suppose Sidanar is next."

[her_imperial_radiance]

Sidanar gets the same long-distance Elspeth introduction that the others did.

[pythbox]

"Pity her best friend just flew away cackling," Elasirae observes.

Sidanar, meanwhile, reacts to this introduction with stunned silence.

[her_imperial_radiance]

Elspeth can fetch her, if desired...

[pythbox]

[...okay,] she says, still sounding generally lost.

[her_imperial_radiance]

Pop, pop.

[thaumobabble]

"Yep," says Glass, "that's a Darcy. Should we ask the previously encountered Darcy here or would that even accomplish anything?"

[pythbox]

"What's a Darcy?" says Sidanar, settling onto the ground with a nervous glance to make sure she isn't squashing anyone.

She is definitely the most visually impressive of the five conjured dragons. Tianthonet's symmetrical patchy red-and-gold is striking, Arianna's asymmetrical swirling red-and-white is fascinating, but Sidanar's scales are a deep midnight blue with a pattern of branching white lines that look like lightning.

[thaumobabble]

"A template, apparently, although you're the second one we've encountered. Like me and Sarion are the same template, there's another person from another world who's like you. Only she's a human. And named Darcy."

[her_imperial_radiance]

"She has a magic hammer," says Elspeth, "with which she does heroism."

[pythbox]

"What's magic about it, specifically?" Sidanar wonders.

[her_imperial_radiance]

"You can't pick it up if it doesn't like you," says Elspeth, "and it does lightning, that's all I know, it might do other things."

[pythbox]

Sidanar glances speculatively at her own scales. "Huh."
