[Event] Pumpkiller

Who: A very big and magical Jack-O-Lantern and you
What: A giant pumpkin is trying to take over Domina... or something like that.
Where: West Domina, past the residential area
When: Day 33
Other: Likely some violence. Check the post for more info and ask any questions here.




At least, that's what the usual mail pelican is frantically squawking about on the front steps of home with her feathers going everywhere as she flaps her wings.

And.... there are some very disconcerting dark clouds gathering around Domina that haven't yet started intruding on the sky around Home. Perhaps this merits some checking out.

To those that venture forth, they'll notice that Domina is eerily quiet as they step into it from the road. Both Domina's tavern and inn seem empty, which is a strange thing in itself. Anyone who's visited the town regularly will have noticed that those two places, for good reason, are often the most lively places in town.

Just where has everyone gone....?

"Yeah they're sleepwear. I wear them so that the sheets won't get dirty if I don't shower, keeps the bed cleaner and keeps me more comfortable, especially since I was sleeping in a tent." explained Sunset.

Sunset grinned a little. "Yeah, I've never really met too many dragons before, but I can tell when someone takes care of their looks."

"That makes sense, I don't know overly much about what humans wear, so thank you for the explanation."

The comment on his looks startles him a touch, and then he laughs lightly. "Well now I know that you're just being polite, but thank you for the complement. I don't polish my scales or do anything for my appearance."

"Well you might say I'm used to non-human talking people," said Sunset, grinning at her inside joke.

"But yes, humans wear clothing for hygiene and comfort. You haven't been around humans much I take it?"

He sighed softly. "Sadly that is very much the truth. Humans tend to see me and either run the other way, or come after me with weapons..."

Shaking his head a little he adds "If anything, at least this place seems to be an improvement in that respect. There others here that are willing to speak with me instead of trying to attack me."

"Yeah I kinda know the feeling..."

Changing the subject, Sunset added, "There's also a good amount of people here who are from different worlds."

Skyfire took note of her comment, but didn't say anything about it as it wasn't his place to and eagerly took the chance to change the topic.

"So I'm starting to realize... Truly being dumped here doesn't seem as horrible as it could be." With a sigh he added "I just wish there had been a choice involved in coming here."

"Same here. I was on my last day of camp, and I really wanted to spend it with my friends," said Sunset. "I'm just glad things are provided for us."

"You have people to go back to, that makes this situation worse... I hope that we can find you a way back in short order then." Skyfire was of the mind that if there was a way here, there was a way back.

He sighed "It's nice to have some of the things here but really, all I would have wanted was a chance to bring a few things." He was in no hurry to return to an empty cavern after all.

"I'd be less worried considering what I've been through," said Sunset honestly. "I'm pretty sure my world doesn't line up time-wise with this one."

"There's plenty of room to collect I'd imagine."
caelum_ignis_draconigena: (Default)

[personal profile] caelum_ignis_draconigena 2016-10-02 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
He looks intrigued by her comment, tilting his head a little. "How could you possibly tell?"

Skyfire does chuckle a bit at the mention of space to collect things. "That is true, but I do wish my tools had come with me." He held up one of his forelegs and wiggled the somewhat hand-like paws there. "These paws are not really made with fine control in mind. It took me years to create the set I have, er had, with items that I doubt I'll be able to find here."

"Experience mostly," said Sunset in that all too vague manner of hers.

"Tools? Maybe I can help make some. I'm pretty good at machines and science." offered Sunset.

[personal profile] caelum_ignis_draconigena 2016-10-02 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
He nods and moves on, clearly noting when she doesn't seem to wish to talk about it.

"I appreciate the offer. Perhaps when I figure out what materials I have to work from here I may take you up on that."

Skyfire sighs "Trying to find the right metals and materials was a struggle the first time. I have even less idea of what there will be to work with here."

Reformed or not, Sunset still guarded a couple of facts about her life close at heart until she could trust someone, even if she was a little relaxed around Skyfire.

"I guess that's what exploration is for," said Sunset, looking out the window at the distance. "There seems to be a town out there too. We might be able to find supplies there."

[personal profile] caelum_ignis_draconigena 2016-10-02 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He considers that, then huffs. "I suppose that is true, I'll just have to hope I don't end up really needing them for something in the meantime." Skyfire was a bit worried that if he got damaged, he wouldn't be able to fix it.

At the mention of a town however, he flinches a bit. "It... might not be the best of ideas for me to go near a town." Sure, he was smaller now but he'd never had much luck trying to approach places with lots of humans.

"Oh, right, yeah I get you."

That makes sense. She figures it's cause y'know, dragon. Not everyone is going to be accepting of that.

Skyfire puts his head on his paws and sighs.

"Still, this is better than being alone..."

[personal profile] shimmer_on 2016-10-02 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I can agree with that. Being alone sucks a lot."

But it was better they were in one place than spread out.

"Now if only I knew what to do with myself..."

He'd poked around Home and outside of it a bit, but other than that he'd not done much. Skyfire was still getting used to his smaller size and the loss of a number of abilities.

"You said you're a mechanic or something, right? Have you considered doing a minor workshop?" asked Sunset. "As a thought really."
caelum_ignis_draconigena: (Default)

[personal profile] caelum_ignis_draconigena 2016-10-02 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"More of a scientist... Still, for that I need tools and a place to work. For the future perhaps."

He gives her a half grin. "I suppose I'll have to find someone that has been here longer and ask a lot of questions." This was far from the worst situation he could have ended up in, so he might as well try to make the best of it in the meantime.
shimmer_on: (Sunset_accepts_Vice_Principal_Luna's_tas)

[personal profile] shimmer_on 2016-10-03 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
"For the future then."

Sunset nodded, considering she too had built a lot of her own electronics which had amounted to some very weird readings a couple of months ago. "Same here. I'd rather not stay idle."
caelum_ignis_draconigena: (Default)

[personal profile] caelum_ignis_draconigena 2016-10-03 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Indeed..."

Skyfire chuckles a little

"I suppose I should quit procrastinating and get moving. As much as I want to stay and talk, I really should try and at least attempt to find somewhere to get the things I need..."

[personal profile] shimmer_on 2016-10-03 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
"All right, I'll see you later then?" said Sunset. "After all, we're kind of in the same building."
caelum_ignis_draconigena: (Default)

[personal profile] caelum_ignis_draconigena 2016-10-03 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Most certainly." He chuckles softly. "I'm in the fourth room on the third floor if you're looking for me later."
