Batch1

Batch2

Quan-Chi

Quan-chi patronizing: It must enrage you that you couldn't have finished me.

Y/N hissing: If it weren't for Li Mei's jussstice, I would've had your ssspine by now!

/

Quan-chi disgusted: Why do you pine for a diseased cretin over Shang Tsung?

Y/N: Because that sssnake is below my standards, now.

/

Quan-Chi: You were Shang Tsung's wife, yet Lui Kang has gifted you a better life than either Shang and I!

Y/N: Everything I have earned in life, I have earned by my handssss and my hands alone.

/

Y/N coyly: I have to thank you for adding some spice to my meal.

Quan-Chi taken aback: That poison I slipped into your stew was enough to kill a full-grown taigore!

/

Y/N: Tch, what's good is relying heavily on your magic if a single gaze is enough to stop you in place?

Quan-chi smirks: It's fortunate then that I know how to avoid your gaze then.

/

Y/N narrows her eyes: It's bad enough that Shang Tsung knows The Island’s secrets!

Quan-Chi: Whether or not you do so willingly, I will learn witch.

/

Quan-chi: I hope your infatuation with Y/N won't put a wench in our partnership

Shang Tsung chuckles: Are we feeling a touch envious, Quan-chi?

Reiko

Y/N: I remember bandaging the bloodied boy Shao took into camp.

Reiko: I am not that boy no longer, Healer! /

Y/N: You're fortunate it was Li Mei who apprehended you, otherwise there'd be nothing to throw in Lei Chin.

Reiko: *Barks out a laugh* HA! I just need to blind you to beat you!

/

Y/N: You are no warrior but a mindlesssss blood-hungry brute, I would know.

Reiko scoffs: As if a Healer would know anything about what a true warrior is.

/

Y/N smirking: It's a shame that I couldn't have kept you in the Hanging Gardens.

Reiko growling: Care to try so again, witch?!

/

Reiko: You have forgotten your oath to Outworld!

Y/N: How is not wanting to see the Empire fall to the disease that is war, breaking my Healer's oath?

/

Reiko: The lieutenants' illness... *growls* Have you no honor?!

Y/N darkly: Not towards traitorsss of the throne.

/

Reiko: It's a shame that we could not have recruited you to the cause.

Y/N with her snakes writhing in anger: *Hisses* As if I would align myself with the brutes that would encourage Sssshang Tsung's depravity!

Tanya

Tanya: You have truly chosen better than that traitorous Sorcerer.

Y/N sighs in exasperation: I'll have to talk with Mileena about spreading rumors about my love life.

/

Tanya: You have a sister among the Umgadi?

Y/N rolls her eyes: I only know this since my mother would never ssshut up about it.

/

Tanya astonished: Shang Tsung did what to you?!

Y/N hisses at the memory: It's because I got too close to learning of hisss real laboratory.

/

Y/N: I hope you aren't the reason why Mileena missed her mandatory meditative practices today.

Tanya: I was told by her that you canceled them for the day!

/

Y/N: It is difficult, to love someone afflicted with Tarkat and watch them suffer.

Tanya: If Mileena and I can overcome these obstacles despite the risks, so can you and Baraka.

/

Y/N: I am happy to report that most of your Umgadi sisters will make a full recovery.

Tanya: It's still regrettable to lose any of my sisters, but I am happy to hear that.

/

Y/N: Did you really think I would betray the Throne?

Tanya: Honestly, there was so much deceit and conspiracies going around, I wasn't sure.

Ermac

Ermac: Neither Jerrod nor Sindel hold you at fault for their deaths.

Y/N in surprise: I- Uh um... Thank you, Ermac.

/

Ermac: Can you aid us?

Y/N: I haven't learned the same magic as Quan-chi, but I has picked up a spell or two on Shang Tsung's island.

/

Ermac: We apologize, but the answer is still no.

Y/N angrily: You're the one who freed Quan-chi in the firssst place! The least you can do is return to the palace!

/

Y/N: Why not inform Mileena instead of freeing Quan-chi?!

Ermac: We were not sure she could have ensured our continued existence

/

Y/N: If you wish to reside in the Colony, then I'll need some assurance that you won't kill my patients.

Ermac: We understand, but you just have to trust our word.

/

Y/N narrowed her eyes in suspicion: I was told by Ashrah, you nearly killed Baraka and Syzoth.

Ermac: That is not Us anymore, Y/N.

/

Y/N: How is the Collection today, Ermac?

Ermac: Thanks to your remedies, We feel more... stable.

Nitara

Nitara mockingly: Having seen your Titan self, I wonder what it says about you?

Y/N hisses: I am nothing like her!

/

Nitara: Your blood tastes like a Vaeterunian's!

Y/N angrily: Of course, Shang Tsung would think to make me monstrousss just to ssspite me!

/

Nitara: My blood magic is superior to your water magic.

Y/N: It'll do you no good once I have you choking on your own blood.

/

Y/N: Care for another demonstration on whose bite is deadlier?

Nitara: You have to actually catch me to bite me.

/

Y/N: Not till death will I ever stop fighting for my home!

Nitara: Why do you think I fight for Vaeterunus?!

/

Y/N: Even just hearing your voice sends disgussst down my spine

Nitara: The disgust is mutual even with your mask on.

/

Y/N snakes out and ready to bite: The fact that you aided that sssnake!

Nitara: A mistake and waste of time, I'll admit.

Peacemaker

Peacemaker: So how do you and that Baraka guy bump uglies? Considering how you're both-

Y/N vexated and flustered: That is NONE of your concern!

/

Peacemaker: The bleeding is mostly internal which is where most of the blood is supposed to be anyway, right?

Y/N internally screaming: That is NOT at all how it worksss!!!

/

Peacemaker: What the FUCK happened to your face?!

Y/N: A sssnake named, Shang Tsung. That's what.

/

Y/N: While I might not always agree with her, I trust Li Mei's judgment.

Peacemaker: Yet, it would've been easier if she just killed those wizard fucks!

/

Y/N: Those herbs you gave me are pretty weak.

Peacemaker: How? I gave ya the best kush I got!

/

Y/N: I can heal much of the body, but an addled mind isn't one of them

Peacemaker: If you think I'M insane, you should see the crazies in Arkham!

/

Y/N: How in the 10 hells are you still breathing?!?

Peacemaker: I honestly have no fucking clue.

Jonghyun/Taemin; Sidequests; PG

when you’re a bounty hunter for dangerous fiends but the dude that lives at your favorite rest stop rescues animals so he’s always grumpy at u

Taemin leans back on his palms, watching as Jonghyun turns back to his charge and makes soft, soothing noises as he wets his scrub brush again. The flarequestrian huffs and grumbles, flicks its tail in the grass and wiggles when Jonghyun gently scrubs up to its neck. Taemin can see fiery red glowing from underneath its skin and shakes his head disbelievingly. Whenever he sees one of these horses in the wild he avoids them as quickly and effectively as possible. Not worth the trouble or the burns, but Jonghyun leans over its head and pets its nose softly, not worried at all about the possibility of it opening its mouth and scorching him to a crisp.

ao3

Taemin closes his eyes as he walks, smiling up at the sun as she shines down on him. This is so nice. Calm. Relaxing. Gentle crops sway behind the corner of a fence as he approaches his favorite little cottage on the west side of the plains.

And also the only little cottage on the west side of the plains, the only rest stop between the city and the beach camp on the other side of the hills up ahead. But that’s not why it’s his favorite. He trails his right hand over the fence as he walks, smiling at the leaves that brush his fingertips. He’s watching the left side of the path, looking for any fiends hiding behind rocks or sparse trees and hands prepared to grab either his crossbow or his dual swords out of habit, but like usual, it’s calm here. Jonghyun makes sure of that.

When he reaches the far corner of Jonghyun’s garden fence he grabs the post and swings himself around and onto his cobbled walkway. Wind chimes tingle as he steps up and he cocks a brow, amused. There’s been barely any wind all day. He always suspected that they were enchanted. Jonghyun likes people even less than he likes fiends trying to eat him or his plants.

Taemin steps up his porch steps and knocks on his front door, looking over the intricate designs carved into the frame curiously. They look cleaner than usual. Jonghyun must have tidied up a little since the last time he was here. Soon he hears noise from inside; looking in the little window in the door, he watches Jonghyun walk up, peep out at him, and sigh at his lazy smile and wave.

“Hi,” he says when Jonghyun opens the door. “Can I come in for an hour, maybe, tops?” He doesn’t need to rest much. His mark today should only be a little further out. He doesn’t even have to go all the way to the hills this time.

“Mmgh,” Jonghyun grumbles, even as he steps aside and gives Taemin space to step inside. His fluffy pink hair and light apron aren’t matched at all by his sharp frown. “You on another murder hunt?” he asks as Taemin passes.

“A bounty hunt, yeah,” Taemin agrees. He knows that they don’t share the same opinion on which fiends are okay to kill. Taemin technically agrees with Jonghyun’s whole “all life has value” thing, but for him, sometimes physical value is worth more than the spiritual kind. He’ll take a few thousand dollars from a grumpy merchant for saving their caravans from a rampaging bashura over whatever moral points Jonghyun will take away from him in his head for doing it. “How’s Roo doing?” he asks, wanting to change the subject to something that won’t include Jonghyun shooting him grumpy little looks the whole time he’s here.

“She’s still adorable,” Jonghyun shrugs. He closes the door behind him and slips passed Taemin and into his little kitchen. “She’s napping outside,” he adds as he opens his fridge and pulls out a pitcher of strawberry lemonade. Taemin pulls out his money pouch to pay Jonghyun’s usual hourly rest and food fee, and they exchange hands easily, used to this from the many times Taemin’s work has brought him this way.

“I have stuff to do outside, too,” Jonghyun tells him, handing him a cold little sandwich and a few plums. “So, just. Don’t break anything.” He gestures around his kitchen and small living room with a stern little look and Taemin nods. He can do that. Simple. He used to think it was weird and kind of naive of Jonghyun to leave strangers alone in his home like this without even a warning to not steal things, but that was before he came to rest here at the same time as that one bandit. Since then he’s learned that surprise traps and cursed hands are how Jonghyun likes to protect his things and has very wisely kept extra far away from anything that could have secret magic hanging around it.

Jonghyun’s back door clicks behind him and Taemin sips his lemonade, looking around at all of the cute little herb jars and charms and wards decorating his walls. His place is always so cozy and safe. Sun filters in from the window over the sink so Taemin stands there as he eats, soaking up even the indirect lights and feeling all warm on both the inside and the outside.

When he finishes eating he washes his glass and then lets himself into Jonghyun’s quaint little living room, bypassing the cushy beanbag chairs in favor of spreading out over his couch for a quick power nap. Fifteen minutes, at the most, and if he stays too long then Jonghyun will wake him up. He tugs one of Jonghyun’s spare pillows close under his chin and nuzzles it comfortably as he drifts to sleep.

Some time later, Jonghyun does manage to wake him up, but not on purpose. Taemin just hears his voice, low and soothing, murmuring words through the wooden walls.

“Shh, it’s okay, sweetheart,” he’s humming, voice a quiet but clear hum. “I won’t hurt you, you know that, shh, shh.” A low grumble, almost a growl but far too soft, follows his words and Taemin raises sleepy eyebrows. Hmm. Seems like he’s taken in yet another injured fiend.

Taemin sits up, yawning into one hand and pushing his wavy blonde hair out of his face with the other. Patting his pockets to make sure that he still has everything, he hesitates when he feels a hard lump in his jacket. Oh, right. That thing. He wiggles his hand inside and pulls out the gem, a jagged, reddish brown hunk of carnelian. Hmm. Well, at least he has a real reason to go outside and talk to Jonghyun again besides just curiosity.

Slipping the rock back into his pocket, he makes his way to Jonghyun’s back door, pushing it open and taking in his wide backyard. The garden extends to the left, and in front of him and to the right are various simple fences separating Jonghyun’s animals. Beady-eyed wolf vultures eyeing soft cottony hares, large earth lizards soaking up the sun, that one gargoyle Jonghyun rescued from smugglers perched in the corner, and other little misfits that chose to stay with Jonghyun after he nursed them back to help all roam around in comfort. Just like Jonghyun said, Roo also is napping in her usual spot next to the door and Taemin smiles at the little pup before he turns more to his right. There, he finds Jonghyun on the ground by his water spigot, a damp scrub brush in one hand and a stone flarequestrian laid down under the other.

Taemin blinks in surprise, taking in the bulky horse as it lies in Jonghyun’s grass. What the fuck. Even for Jonghyun’s usual standards, this seems a little dangerous. Its teeth are jagged iron, it’s hooves heavy stone, it’s grey skin rough like sandpaper with sharp obsidian throughout, but still Jonghyun shushes and pets it gently.

“Come on, honey, I know you want to be clean,” he’s smiling, trailing his hand lightly down to pet its back leg. The flarequestrian snorts softly, a horsey sound of pride and stubbornness, thick smoke puffing out of its nostrils, and Jonghyun just chuckles softly. “Don’t give me that, Cinders,” he chides. “Let’s finish this, okay, and then you can go back to your running.” He pats the horse’s leg gently and Taemin watches Jonghyun’s smile grow when it huffs again and looks away with a flick of its steel tail.

“Thank you, sweetheart, my good girl,” Jonghyun beams, wetting his brush again. He presses it gently to the horse’s stomach, loosening dust and dirt with slow circles and rinsing it away with gentle trickles from the hose. The water makes its stone skin darker, but Taemin can see Jonghyun’s progress in the washed and sundried hindquarters versus the unwashed rest. He wonders how much convincing Jonghyun has had to do already.

“Hey,” he says, as softly as possible, and still winces when the flarequestrian huffs and hisss at him, eyes flashing red. Jonghyun glances at him, then looks back to his charge, shushing it gently with soft pets. Eventually, it flops its head back into the grass and Jonghyun turns to him again.

“What?” he asks shortly.

“Uh,” Taemin says, and wiggles his hand into his pocket. He steps forward only a few steps, just close enough to lob Jonghyun the stone. “I was in the city mines the other day and I found this,” he says, handing the carnelian over. “I read that it’s good for love spells, and, well, I don’t think you need any, but you can still do more with it than I can.” He shrugs. Even if Jonghyun isn’t looking for love from a human he can at least maybe get a little extra affection from his animal friends.

“Oh, neat,” Jonghyun says, looking it over with genuine interest. He rubs his thumb over the rough edge and quickly looks up at Taemin. “How much do you want for it?” he asks.

“I mean,” Taemin says. “I don’t know.” He feels a soft nudge against his ankle; looking down, he finds one of Jonghyun’s stray voidcats poking at his shoe. He crouches down to pet her, but as soon as he hovers his hand over her fur, she blinks out of existence and reappears on the other side of the yard. Taemin huffs. Little shit. Every time.

“The magic shop lady told me it could go for around two hundred if I found the right buyer, but.” He shrugs as he sits himself down fully in the grass. He doesn’t have the time or patience to find the right buyer. “Some extra food would be nice, I guess,” he says. “I’m thinking about crossing through the Marshwood to get to the capital soon, so.” That’s about a week’s worth and he always did like Jonghyun’s cooking more than the generic stuff he gets from the shops. Jonghyun regards him and his decision for a moment, looking over the carnelian again before nodding and slipping it into his pocket.

“Sure,” he says. “I’m gonna finish this first, though,” he says, gesturing to his flarequestrian. “So you might wanna just hit me up on the way back from your thing instead.”

“Oh, it’s not urgent,” Taemin shrugs. “The thing’s nocturnal. I can wait.”

“Mmgh,” Jonghyun says, “fine,” and just like that, his stern little frown is back on his lips. Taemin looks away awkwardly; he’s never been ashamed of his profession but fuck if being in Jonghyun’s animal-loving presence doesn’t make him feel kind of weird about it. Oh, well. At least Jonghyun didn’t ask him why he was in the mines in the first place to get the stone. Hearing of another bounty hunt of Taemin’s probably would have made him even grumpier.

He leans back on his palms, watching as Jonghyun turns back to his charge and makes soft, soothing noises as he wets his scrub brush again. The flarequestrian huffs and grumbles, flicks its tail in the grass and wiggles when Jonghyun gently scrubs up to its neck. Taemin can see fiery red glowing from underneath its skin and shakes his head disbelievingly. Whenever he sees one of these horses in the wild he avoids them as quickly and effectively as possible. Not worth the trouble or the burns, but Jonghyun leans over its head and pets its nose softly, not worried at all about the possibility of it opening its mouth and scorching him to a crisp.

Taemin has never quite figured out if Jonghyun is brave or just recklessly confident, or if there’s even a difference between the two.

He watches Jonghyun work in silence, all the way until Jonghyun finishes cleaning one side and casts a light protection spell to keep it clean as he urges the horse to lie on its other side. On this shoulder it has a wide bluish tint on its skin, reminiscent of Jonghyun’s usual healing salves and magic. About halfway through Jonghyun’s cleaning of its hind leg, his wind chimes out front start tingling again. It sounds like more than just the one that sounded for Taemin’s arrival and when Jonghyun looks up, he scowls.

“We’re not here,” he mumbles, and quickly casts a small spell over the both of them. After the magic settles, Taemin can still see Jonghyun, but he recognizes the feeling of an invisibility spell and raises his eyebrows.

“Do you know them, or are they just…?”

“People,” Jonghyun finishes for him, a little furrow between his brows. Taemin hears the knock on Jonghyun’s front door easily but they both stay where they are, Jonghyun grumpily wetting his scrub brush again and Taemin watching with curious interest. He leans back on his palms as the group of people out front knock again, and then a third time, and then as they peep ineffectively around the side of the house before finally giving up and continuing on. Taemin watches them shuffling on down the dirt path before turning back to Jonghyun.

“I know why you don’t like me, specifically,” he says, plucking a blade of grass from the ground and rubbing it between his fingers. “But are you ever going to tell me why you don’t like people in general?” He feels like they’re close enough for that kind of knowledge. He’s known Jonghyun for years. Unless Jonghyun has some deep, scarring, extremely personal reason for keeping his dislike of people a secret, Taemin doesn’t see why he’s never grumbled out an explanation.

Still, Jonghyun just looks at him, a sharp, annoyed little glance, before going back to his task. Taemin shrugs. Must be the former, then, he guesses. He can respect that. He yawns behind his and and looks out at the rest of the yard, at all of Jonghyun’s fiends and animals. His bunnies are hopping all around one of his big lizards, bugging it as it tries to relax, but it just swats lazily at them with its tail.

“They bred these for the war, you know,” Jonghyun says quietly.

“Hmm?” Taemin hums. He focuses again on Jonghyun, but Jonghyun isn’t looking at him. Rather, he’s still petting and washing his flarequestrian, eyes down. He nods at it and gives it a gentle pat.

“These horses,” he says. “Unbreakable stone and lethal glass, cruel teeth, an inferno on the inside. ‘Vicious and brutal temperaments,’ they said. They would break them to make them obey and then ride them into battle until they broke again. They said they were bred to be bloodthirsty proud and only care about killing those weaker than them. So aggression would be in their nature and their first instinct would be to attack.”

Taemin looks at the flarequestrian between them, eyes closed and breathing lazy.

“The war was barely three years ago,” Jonghyun says. “I don’t think this one is even second generation.” He leans close to pick a stubborn piece of dirt away with his fingernail. “All she wants to do is sleep and run in the grass.”

He doesn’t say anything after that, and neither does Taemin. They stay silent in the grass, Jonghyun only speaking in low, gentle murmurs to his stone horse as he finishes washing her rough skin. She’s clean soon, Jonghyun pulling gentle fingers through her mane, the steel strands so soft and yielding when they’re not being whipped towards an attacker. When Jonghyun stands up, she does too, a soft whinny nuzzled against his neck in thanks. Jonghyun smiles warmly, patting her rough neck, and gets her to stay for a quick, final misty rinse from his hose.

“Alright, Cinders, you can go now,” he says when he’s done. “Come back whenever.” He makes little shooing noises with his hands towards the wide plains outside his fences. She bumps him with her nose one more time before turning and taking off into a clunky run. She jumps and clears the fence easily, and then breaks into a real gallop, shrinking into the distance along with the sound of heavy hoofbeats. Jonghyun watches her go with the softest little smile on his lips before he notices Taemin watching him and looks away.

“What did you want again?” he asks, looking back almost as quickly. Taemin points to the pocket that Jonghyun put his gem in earlier.

“Some food,” he says, pushing himself to his feet and rubbing grass dampness off of his thighs. Jonghyun’s hand pats his pocket too and he nods in remembrance.

“Right, right,” he says. “This way.” He stepps passed Taemin with a wave to come along, heading towards his garden and stepping over the low fence. Taemin follows easily, first to his garden and then to the kitchen, allowing Jonghyun to pick out what he wants to give him without much protest. In no time they’ve put together a little box of food, enchanted to stay cool by Jonghyun and placed into Taemin’s enchanted bottomless bag. It should last him even a few days into the capital city, Taemin thinks, which is good.

“Thanks,” he says, patting his bag closed happily.

“Mmhmm,” Jonghyun hums. He slips around Taemin and to his front door, opening it and holding it open for him. “No offense,” he adds, “but I hope your hunt doesn’t go well.”

“Oh,” Taemin says. He muffles a snort in his hand and shrugs, taking the hint that it’s time to leave now and heading out. “None taken,” he says. Jonghyun tells him the same every time he stops here on his way to a hunt. He never mans he wants Taemin to get hurt, just that he hopes that whatever fiend it is that’s been bountied can’t be found or doesn’t have to be killed. Taemin can’t say that that’s ever happened to him before, but he can’t blame Jonghyun for hoping.

“You stay safe too,” he says as he backs down Jonghyun’s front porch. He would hate for his favorite little animal lover to ever not be here.

“Bye,” Jonghyun calls softly. He’s doing the thing where he slowly closes his door and peeps through the crack, waving with a little hand, until the person has no choice but to either leave or just talk to a door. Taemin grins at his predictable tactics and just waves back before he turns and sets off down the path, continuing on to his mark.

It’s the closest hunt he’s ever had to Jonghyun’s land; maybe this one time he’ll be able to just catch it and bring it back for Jonghyun to love.

Probably not, but at least he’ll be able to tell Jonghyun that he tried.

“Gambet and Alan, Pinwheel and Crim”

[CP] It's late at night and Lie had returned him to his usual shape. He's wandering the house when there's a soft knocking on the door. Frowning he goes and opens the door and is surprised to find Stevie there. His expression immediately shifts to a scowl- Why are you here?

[Stevie] - Actually... I came to see you...

[CP] - What you finally decided to give up on life and sleep for an eternity?

[Stevie] - No- He takes a steadying breath- I want to train with you brother

[CP] - What sort of drugs are you on?

[Stevie] - I'm serious

[CP] - Why?

[Stevie] - Because for once we're on the same page about something. We both want that NOTCH dead. However both of us haven't been fighting nearly as much as we used to, we could both probably use the practice.

[CP] - Are you certain you want to do this?

[Stevie] - Yes

[CP] Grins darkly- Then let's go- He grabs his younger brother and teleports them a far distance away

-Scritch Scritch against firewall-

[Doc] Was dozing on the porch while Yaunfen plays and blinks one eye open.

-...Scriiiitch Scriiitch-

[Yaunfen] - Mada?  What that?

[Doc] Blinks again- Oh! Someone might want in! Hey Deerheart?

[Deer] From the next room- Yes?

[Doc] Can you give me a read on who's outside? Just that that it's nothing nasty before I poke my head out?

[Deer] - Sure- She begins concentrating

-It seems to be two..ish... Dragons-

[Deer] - Er...  Love?  We appear to have some dragons outside...

[Doc] Okay.. that's neat. And a bit different. If they can game-hop they must be something special. I'm going to go look, do you want to join me?

[Deer] - Sure love- She steps outside

[Yaunfen] - Mama!  Mama!  I go to?

[Deer] - Yes sweety, you can go to

[Doc] Heads down the hill with Yaunfen at hir side. Xe gets down to the spawn and makes a little hole to peep out of- Hello?

[Deer] Picks a few ice cream cones-

[Big Dragon] -Hunched down just outside of the peephole. a bit distracted checking on a smaller, frail looking hatchling on it's back-

[Big dragon] -Hasn't heard Doc-

[Doc] A bit louder - Hello? Do you need help?

[Big Dragon] -Head turns back to face Doc. Now that it's facing hir, it's actually easy to spot a similarity to.. Liz?-  ... Possibly. ...

[Hatchling] -Soft grunt-

[Big Dragon] .... -glance back- ... May we come in?

[Doc] Well... that's decently polite, and it is cold out here to be carrying a little one. - Xe makes a bigger hole to let them in and makes sure there's no one else around out there.

[Deer] Looks at the baby- I'll call Endrea

[Yaunfen] - New playmate?

[Doc] Maybe.... - Xe closes the hole- I'm Doc, the lovely lady runnning for help is my mate Deerheart and this is my child Yaunfen-

[Yaunfen] - Hi!

[Big dragon] -Scoots in and stretches a bit before carefully removing the teeny baby from back, setting it between front paws-

[Hatchling] ... Hi... -snuffles a bit and sneezes into paws-

[Big Dragon] I'm Gambet, and the little one is Alandrine. Alan for short. A.. pleasure to meet you.

[Doc] Aww. You have a little one too! You guys look familiar actually. Are you looking for someone?

[Yaunfen] Tries to get closer to sniff Alan-

[Alan] -Scuffles back a bit to try and hide behind Gambet's leg-

[Gambet] Possibly. If they're here, I am. -Gently nudges Alan out to Yaunfen-

[Endrea] Comes flying into view with Deer on her back and lands with a bit of a thud- Doc, we brought Ashe's pills as well

[Deer] Slides off Endrea-

[Doc] Well we have several Herobrines here, and most of them came with at least a Steve, or an Alex. Can you give me names?

[Sky] -Over chat- ... Did someone just let a purple dragon on the server?

[Gambet] -slight eye narrow- That one.

[Endrea] Stands a bit taller- What do you want from them?

[Doc] types- Yes Skye, they asked nicely.

[Doc] We do have rules about fighting around here. I'll toss you out myself if you're intending to wreck the place.

[Endrea] Then notices Alan- May I?

[Gambet] Not this place, I just intend to have.. Words, with that one.

[Alan] -Squints at Endrea, trying to scoot back to hide behind Gambet's legs again-

[Sky] -Over chat- Oh. Delightful. Great. Wonderful.

[Endrea] Moves closer and offers void energy to Alan-

[Alan] -Hesitantly scoots forward after a second, stretching head up to have some-

[Endrea] - Gently feeds him-

[Doc] types- Oh just come over Sky, I'll referee if I have too

[Sky] I'd rather not get murdered?

[Alan] -Happy burbling-

[Doc] Did I just say I'd keep it peaceful? They brought a baby dragon. Was I just supposed to leave them out in the cold?

[Sky] Yeeess?

[Doc] Sky! For shame!

[Gambet] -Soft amused laughter behind a paw-

[Sky] What?! That thing is a monster!

[Doc] It's a dragon! We have lots here. It's no big deal.

[Endrea] - Sky, would it help if I were in my largest form?

[Sky] ... ... Yeah. I guess. If you aren't going to kick him out, yes.

[Endrea] - Artemisia- She grows to three times her size

[Gambet] -Amused, until Endrea is huge. Then he squishes against the ground and stares up at her with spooked eyes-

[Alan] -Squeek-

[Doc] Like I said. We have dragons.

[Endrea] Is a bit smug- You can come now Sky

[Sky] Alright, I'll be there in a second..

[Alan] -scoots under one of Gambet's wings, staring up at Endrea-

[Gambet] -Slowly sits back up, still a bit spooked by Endrea's size.-

[Endrea] Leans down and offers more void energy-

[Alan] -hisss screech combo, retreating under their dad's legs-

[Endrea] Stands there patiently with the void energy waiting-

[Alan] Hssss!

[Sky] -Walking up, very clearly tense and very not agreeing with this decision-

[Liz]  -Way far back sneaky sneaking after Sky-

[Endrea] Lifts her head and looks over at Sky-

[Doc] Pull out a bit of dragonwort and offers it to the baby.

[Alan] ... -Nibble the dragonwort-

[Gambet] -Instant focus on Sky-

[Doc] Goes to stand next to Sky-

[Sky] -Eyes Gambet with both fear and disgust-

[Gambet] So, how was it, hmmm? I bet they kept spreading rumors about you. -Just, devious grin and leaning down a bit- Oh the old Raiser... He helped this MONSTER become an adult... Didn't cull it when it was a hatchling....

[Sky] -Retract a bit-

[Gambet] Did the egg ever hatch? I bet it didn't. They broke it, when I "changed". They didn't want a chance another me could show up, didn't they?

[Liz] -Blepping and sneaking closer-

[Doc] What's going on here Sky?

[Endrea] Huffs at Gambet a bit-

[Doc] We've had several dragon eggs hatch here actually, Yaunfen was one.

[Gambet] Did you even share what you did? Heh.

[Sky] It's not like anyone needed to know! I thought you probably died out there after you were banished! Would've been better for everyone, too. -grumble-

[Gambet] -Snorts and looks away- Oh yes, because the vicious monster would've been gone! And The home would've been saved! -roll eyes a bit-

[Liz] -sneaky sneaky-

[Doc] Umm....

[Yaunfen] - Liz!  Liz!

[Liz] Yaun, Yaun! *bumps Yaunfen and ceases hir sneaky sneaky

[Gambet] ---- -Pauses to look at Liz with a confused look-

[Yaunfen] Jumps around playfully-

[Alan] -Scoots out and over to Yaunfen and Liz- Blepping at them and wiggling fan tail a bit-

[Endrea] Lays down, keeping a careful eye on the children-

[Doc] So... yeah... we have quite a few dragons of different types and levels of development. Liz has already advanced enough to take a humanoid form to get around peoples houses easier.

[Deer] - Many of them have

[Gambet] -Turns away from Doc and Sky, lowering his body to watch Liz, head tilted-

[Sky] -Move to put self between Gambet and Liz. You ain't looking at hir, nope. No way. Not today.-

[Endrea] Curls her tails around the children-

[Doc] warning note- Is there a problem?

[Yaunfen] - Mada?- They are picking up on the unease

[Doc] Is tensing....

[Gambet] ... -Focuses eyes on Sky- ... Is that one mine?

[Sky] -Vague noise, trying to shoo Gambet back-

[Liz] -Bleps a bit, noticing Sky trying to Shoo Gambet away. Bounces over to look up at Gambet-

[Gambet] -Quiet stare-

[Endrea] - Liz, come here please

[Liz] No! Staying here.

[Doc] Shifts suddenly! Coiling up in hir angular way between them- I think you need to loosen up.... - Xe makes sure Liz and Yaunfen are behind them-

[Gambet] -Swat at Doc, lowering head to study Liz some more-

[Yaunfen] - Mada!

[Deer] Shifts to her dragon form as well-

[Doc] Is swatted but starts crackling with electricity- I'll shock you the next time you try that...

[Gambet] ... That one is mine! ... Huh. Looks just like it's mother.

[Liz] -Head tilt and blep-

[Gambet] -Looks at Doc- You need to calm down.

[Endrea] - What are you talking about?

[Doc] Liz belongs to hirself. And xe's not an 'it'.

[Gambet] There's this thing, it's called Genetics and reproductive processes! I helped make that. Hmm....  -Just looks back a Doc with a raised eyebrow area- Oh? Has it decided on it's pronouns already?

[Doc] Angry hiss- I'm genderless too, so if you have a problem, take it up with me.

[Gambet] Not at all. -Waves paw- We just don't decide until centuries after we hatch. 's just surprising. It can't be near that old. Unless it's just a runt...

[Liz] I'm a big! I squished Skee!

[Doc] Liz is vocal. Xe can decide on hir own pronouns. Calling someone it, is insulting.

[Gambet] -Stoops head down to Liz.- And what are your pronouns, darling, hmmm?

[Liz] -Blink.- I'm a they! -Nod nod nod-

[Gambet- How adorable. -Pats the Liz, much to Sky's disdain-

[Doc] Curls around Yaunfen, obviously aggravated-

[Endrea] Growls and snaps at Gambet-

[Gambet] -Snaps jaws right back at Endrea-

[Endrea] Growls and stands over the other dragon lifting a paw and forcing his head to the ground- Do not test me

[Gk] Appears in a huff. Angry snort of fire, there's a bit of lava dribbling from his lip and he's growling.

[Gambet] -Dragon Sqauwk-

[Alan] -Nips at Endrea's paws- Let Dad go! -nip nip-

[Endrea] Doesn't lift her paw- You are a guest here, if you threaten those here I will not hesitate to take you down

[Gk] What the fuck is going on?!

[Doc] Someone with a bit of attitude...

[Alan] -Nip Nip Nip-

[Gambet] I have-- yet to threaten anyone.... -snort- but very well,... Understood..

[Alan] -Nip-

[Endrea] Releases Gambet with a snort-

[Gk] Stomps around a little, wiggling his wings-

[Endrea] Glances at GK- Calm down GK

[Alan] -Plops back to sit now that Gambet is released-

[Gambet] -Sits back up and checks on Alan before glancing at GK. Unamused.-

[Gk] Licks the lava off his lips, before giving the mal dragon a grimace.

[Deer] Loafs next to Endrea-

[Gambet] Well, this has been exciting. I had my words with the filthy traitor... And I got to meet my other child...

[Doc] What do you mean traitor?

[Gk] Other child?!

[Gambet] -Points a claw at Sky- They could've so easily prevented my banishment. It was a mistake. But they didn't. Filthy traitor.

[Sky] You tore Lizendite's leg off!

[Gambet] I had to! None of you were going to help her.

[Doc] How in the nether does tearing someones leg off help them?!

[Gambet] It was either lose the leg, or lose her entirely to the taint! -Bares teeth at Doc- And I'm a sentimental old shit who was fond of people! Of course my option was remove the leg!

[Liz] -Bump snoot against Gambet- ... Dad?

[Gambet] ---... -Looks down at Liz-

[Doc] Oh... an amputation makes sense. Did the patient survive?

[Gambet] - delicately resting a paw on Liz- i assume so..

[Endrea] Takes her tail and thumps it down on top of GK-

[Gk] Is knocked flat and accidently spits a bit of lava on the ground- HEY.

[Endrea] Slightly smug look-

[Gk] Cough- His expression is clear 'Male dragon = Want to fight!'

[Endrea] - I know, I know

[Crim] - is hiding in the trees, watching all the big dragons, fearfully.

[Liz] - blep-

[Splender] Over chat- Nobody panic, but Pinwheel seems to be missing again...

[Pinwheel] Has closed into some nearby trees-

[Crim] - hears movement, looks and spies Pinwheel near his tree.

[Pinwheel] Climbs a bit higher-

[Crim] — growls softly, worried.

[Pinwheel] Hisses a little and her sharp trail feathers slice a couple of branches free of the tree-

[Crim] - digs claws into branch, baring fans and lets smoke drift out his mouth - (whispers) Goes away

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - starts lashing tail, more smoke pours out, along with a few sparks - Yes

[Pinwheel] - No- Climbs higher

[Crim] - looks out at the bigger dragons, then back at Pinwheel. Crouches down - YES! I BITES

[Pinwheel] - No- Is almost level with Crim

[Crim] - whines, then pounces at Pinwheel-

[Pinwheel] Makes surprised noise and falls out of the tree with Crim, her trail is lashing about-

[Crim] - panicking, wraps all six legs around Pinwheel as they fall, so he lands on back with her ontop

[Pinwheel] - NO NO NO NO NO!- She is trying to get free enough to strike at Crim-

[Crim] - cries out as a few of his spikes snap and  tries to shove her off

[Deer] Looks over- Pinwheel! Crim!- She hurries over to sperate the two

[Pinwheel] Hisses at Crim, showing her fangs-

[Crim] - panicking, snaps at her, barely missing from biting her

[Pinwheel] Snaps at him-

[Deer] Rushes over to grab the back of Pinwheels neck and start pulling them apart-

[Crim] - manages to get traction and upright. Bolts back toward trees.

[Deer] Now realizes she's stuck holding Pinwheel- Well this isn't good [Pinwheel] - NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

[Crim] - is running blindly as fast as can

[Deer] - Crim! Come back! It's okay!

[Crim] - ignores and keeps running, panting, leaving embers floating behind him

[Pinwheel] Wiggles out of Deer's hold and bolts after him, being much faster-

[Crim] - trips, tumbles and rolls to stop, dazed

[Pinwheel] Jumps on them, ready to strike-

[Crim] - screams and strikes out, fangs first

[Pinwheel] Makes pained noise as she's struck and limps a little ways off-

[Crim] - tries to stand, stumbles back, cowering

[Pinwheel] - No no no

[Crim] - TOLD GO AWAY, I BITES!

[Crim] - Now Crim bad - curls up, whining.

[Pinwheel] - No

[Pinwheel] Starts trying to lick the wound-

[Pinwheel] Flops over-

[Crim] - looks up at her, frowning

[Pinwheel] Whining- Nooooooo

[Crim] - sighes, then slowly crawls closer to her. - Learns listen, I no wants hurts. No scare Crim.

[Pinwheel] Frustrated- No

[Crim] - ignores and sits beside her - Holds sit, I helps. - Starts to try and lick wound.

[Pinwheel] Squirms- No no no

[Crim] - grabs gently with some paws, but continues to clean.

[Pinwheel] Whines-

[Crim} - Finishes. - You listens, or more bites. No wants. - Shakely stands.

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - snorts at her, shaking and limps/hops off.

[Pinwheel] Starts following-

[Crim] - hears and tries to go faster

[Pinwheel] Easily keeps pace-

[Crim] - turns and growls - Stops, no!

[Crim] - starts digging, tearing up the ground and quickly makes a hole

[Pinwheel] - No?

[Crim] - he's already below ground level and keeps going straight down.

[Pinwheel] Pokes head in hole- No?

[Crim] - is a good bit down, but stops to looks up - No, not safe. Crim bad.

[Pinwheel] Tentatively puts front feet in hole, using her wings to balance-

[Crim] - feels dirt falling in and darts back up hole - No, not safe!

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - pushes her & himself out of hole. - No safe, not digs. You like others, flaps.

[Pinwheel] Hisses at something behind Crim-

-There's a creeper coming up behind them- [Pinwheel] Strikes and digs her fangs in, injecting her venom into the creeper-

[Crim] - stumbles and watches -

-The creeper flashes a few times before dying-

[Pinwheel] - No?

[Crim] You bites too. Bad boom boom. - flops down and just rests.

[Pinwheel] Carefully lays down next to Crim-

[Crim] - just sits there, sleepy and sore.

[Pinwheel] Curls up into a little ball as well-

[Crim] - eyes Pinwheel, then lays head down and hides his eyes under some paws - Crim bad, bigs yell.

[Pinwheel] Sleepily- No

[Crim] - starts to rumble and falls asleep.
