Did anyone order a half-dragon girl with an extra serving of snark?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Well this certainly was new...

Wandering around the campus after waking up in it's clinic is a young woman, she looks to be around 17-19 years of age and more or less looks super confused about where she is right now. Judging from her wardrobe, she clearly isn't from any kind of modern-esque world either, she's in a blue and white tunic.

This doesn't appear to be any kind of building she's used to and it's structures and such just don't seem at all right.

She rubs slightly at the side of her temple and grumbles a little to herself. Normally if she had woken up in a place she wasn't familiar with it'd had to be the work of a fairy or maybe some other magic user - but what sort of person would bring her to such a weird place as this?]

...What is this place?

[moderndaydragon]

That would be the Campus.

[Karasu had seen her wandering around, and with the look of the her clothes, figured she could use a hand.]

To give you the quick notes, we're all trapped here, this doesn't exist in any one particular world -- or if it does, none of the worlds we're from -- and there's an unbreakable barrier that keeps us from leaving.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[A teenage girl dressed in such odd clothing wasn't hard to spot. She looks like some kind of cosplayer. Maybe a LARPer? Either that, or she's from the far past. Either could be possible. Pondering it for a moment, he approaches.]

Are you lost, miss?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[She blinks at the girl approaching her. It's not very often Saft gets to speak with girls - I mean really apart from her friend Az back home a majority of the company she was around was male so she sort of has an idea of how to speak with other girls.]

The Campus?

You mean this isn't Dragonsbayne?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...A little?

[She dusts her tunic off a little.]

Uhm, You wouldn't have happened to see an old guy wandering around here have you? Long blond braided hair? Kind of wearing the same robes as me but yellow? Or maybe it's more gold? Normally he has a book following behind him.

[moderndaydragon]

No, it isn't. Wherever you came from before, it's in a completely different dimension now. No one has any idea how or why we're here, just that we are. There's an intercom voice you can talk to, but she's not going to answer any of your questions even when she does end up talking to us.

[Karasu gives a sad smile, trying to be reassuring.]

A lot of people think we're going to go back right from when we were taken, though... and it's not too bad here. The island's small, but you can explore it freely. Just don't try flying off or anything. The barrier will drop you like a rock into the ocean.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Wait you know I'm a--?

[She did just say flying right? Because even though Saft's very much in human form, there's nothing really that would give her away unless Karasu could somehow just sense it from her.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Sorry. I've never run into anyone that looks like that.

[Wait a minute. Looking a little confused, he asks carefully.]

When you say 'following him', what do you mean...?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, he floats... He's magic!

Sort of.

He used to be a dragon.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[A book that used to be a dragon?! He can hardly believe it. Sure, he's met one person who claimed to be a dragon before, but he'd never seen it or anything like that. And admitting to things like magic straight away to a strange speaks volumes of the kind of place she comes from.]

Uhm. Please excuse the question, but are you a roleplayer?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

"Roleplayer"?

...I don't think so?

[Now who looks confused, whereas you may only be used to this kind of talk during your gaming campaigns, Bakura. Stuff like dragons and magic is a daily occurrence for this half-dragon here.]

Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Saft.

[fluffydeathdealer]

I'm Ryou. Ryou Bakura.

[Seeing her confusion, he rubs the back of his head awkwardly.]

Sorry. I've never heard of anything like that outside of a roleplaying game before, so it's a little hard to comprehend. Magic books and dragons... its the type of thing you'd find in a fantasy novel.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Oh, but....I am a dragon.

[There's no point in hiding it, if she's going to be stuck here. Plus he seems pretty clued in what a dragon actually is, so there shouldn't be a problem should there?]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Eh?!

[The shock on his face can't be faked. She seems serious, so either she's really in the role, or she's actually, seriously, a dragon. Or she's crazy.

He's really not sure. But considering the sort of things that happen here, he'll give her the benefit of the doubt.]

I-I see. I apologize if I offended you.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

No apology needed! Anyway, I'm only half dragon so I can't really say I'm all dragon to begin with. Sorry to disappoint.

[Most people normally freak out once the word "dragon" is even muttered, but this kid seems totally fine with it.]

It's nice to meet someone who actually isn't scared of dragons though.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Dragons don't really exist in my world, so I've never really met one before coming here. So I don't really have any preconceptions for what they're like. I know they're supposed to be big, and they're revered a lot, but other than that, I don't really know much about them.

But you don't seem like a frightening person. So why would I be scared?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I like you Ryou, you're not at all like most humans near Dragonsbayne.

[She laughs a little.]

As soon as you whip out the whole dragon-form thing that's when they start to panic. I mean sheesh, talk about judging someone before you get to know what they're like.

[moderndaydragon]

No, I don't know what you are. [She smiles, though.]

There are some people here who can summon monsters, some who can transform like me, and pretty much anything else you can think of. I was just covering the bases, but if you are something else than human -- or just a special human -- there's no reason to be worried about it. No one's going to be upset or anything.

Some people find it really cool. [Kai.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

That's kind of a relief to hear actually, It's easier to know what I can or can't do when I'm in a new environment.

So uh...

What is it you transform into?

[moderndaydragon]

I can understand that, but trust me. Most people here are very nice... and the ones that aren't are outnumbered and can't do much to hurt you if you make sure you're careful and have friends.

[No need to dance around it, Karasu supposes. She did just say it was fine... and she was trying to be open and proud about herself anyway.]

A dragon. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, if you want to be specific.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...!

[Another dragon!?]

Y-You're a dragon too!? No way! And a white one, just like me! That's amazing!

[fluffydeathdealer]

I think it sounds kind of amazing! And you can't help what you are, anyway. So it's really not fair to judge someone on that.

[Though with a name likes Dragonsbayne, he's not surprised. It doesn't sound like a good place to be a dragon.]

Even if you've had bad experiences with dragons, there's been a lot of humans who did bad things, so it's not like being bad is something related to a particular species.

[moderndaydragon]

Too? [Wait a minute.] You're a dragon?!

[Brb brain trying to process this WAT.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Yeah! [No way, no way, no way - This is so incredible! She never thought she'd run into another dragon when she was apparently so far away from home.]

Wow, I really can't believe this!

[moderndaydragon]

...Ah! Sorry!

[She shakes her head a little, managing a bit of a smile.]

It shouldn't be weird to me, with all the different dimensions, but I didn't expect anything like that! Where I'm from, dragons don't really exist.

[...Right, she should explain that.]

I don't really know why I'm one, to be honest. But I'm a dragon in soul and body, and not even just in that form. Even "human," like I am now, has dragon traits. My hair, my eyes... even my blood. I'm the only one I know of from back home... and probably the only one there is.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I didn't know I even was a dragon until a few years ago.

I spent my entire life thinking I was just a regular human girl until this huge bombshell just went off and my whole life as I knew it changed forever.

[She looks to the other dragon and smiles.] Nice to know I won't be entirely too far away from home when there's another dragon here though.

I'm Saft.
