[Croc sat in a comfy chair in the lounge. He had a large cigar in hand, and wore a clean white suit. He'd been here a while, and has been able to find items to his liking. On top of that his closet seemed to supply him with nice clothes, tailored to his odd body shape. He likes that he's being taken care of in a way, but still not happy about being here against his will.

[He tried getting answers out of the Lunch Lady, and the Nurse, but he couldn't get anything. Any harm or torture he tried didn't work or he'd black out while trying to get answers, and wake up in his room. He tried swimming off the island, to see what they may be close to, but that too didn't work. He wonders maybe if working alone wasn't enough. Maybe he needed to get a gang started on the island. He'd focus on getting a group together, then taking control... but who on this island was cut out to team up with? He wasn't going to work with any losers, that's for sure.]

((ooc: Croc is chilling in the lounge. Pester, mingle with other people, look for snacks what ever you want :>))

Hrm?

[Karasu has to pause to put down the bag of chips and take the candy bar out of her mouth before answering.]

I'm not human, if that's what you're asking about.

Thought I smelled somethin' different 'bout you...

[He scratches his chin. He wonders what she is, and how he could use this info to his advantage.]

What are ya then, ya look pretty human.

[But smelled completely off from one.]

I'm a dragon. I look human because it's not the same sort of -- [What the hell does she even call it? "Species?"] -- make up as you are. I transform into my full dragon form, but I'm definitely a dragon even like I am now.

[She holds up some of her hair as an example.]

My hair and eyes match my scales and eyes in my other form, and my senses are better than a human's, if only a little bit.

A dragon?

[He laughs.]

No really though, what are you?

[For some reason dragons are way to outlandish for him to believe in. Super villains and heroes, sure. Dragons? Now that is just stupid.]

I understand it's hard to believe, but I'm telling the truth. I am a dragon, and if you want me to prove it, we just have to step outside and I'd be happy to. I'd transform in here, but it's a bit too small for that.

[He hits the pause button on his little dvd remote and gets up.]

Well then, lets go girlie.

All right, then.

[Karasu will just be going outside, leaving her snacks in the lounge for now. She can always get them back later.

It's only once she's walked a decent distance away from the building, at the edge of the forest, that she stops.]

Stand over there, all right?

[She indicates a spot a few feet away from her, then relaxes, calling up that power that's now all too familiar.]

[And as always, that power surges up and over her in a blue-white glow that quickly fades, leaving the very impressive, fairly large dragon in its place.

She gives a slight growl, almost as if asking "Believe me now?"]

[Croc scratches his head.]

Well I'll be damned, yer a dragon.

[Can you sell a dragon? If so, for how much?]

Is there a lot of ya around?

[How'd he miss the whole 'there are dragons' thing...]

[She gives a firm nod with an amused, "I told you so" growl to it. At the question, however, the amusement drops and she shakes her head, holding up a single claw then pointing to herself.

She's the only one of her kind... well, that she really knows of, at least. According to that other dragon girl, there was definitely more, but she can't speak to that. Especially having not seen her for a while.]

Only you eh?

[Well that probably means no one would be into buying dragons. Maybe he could end up using her... he'd have to keep tabs on her.]

so if yer a dragon... why havent you tried flying off this rock yet?

[She manages a sigh at that, turning around to face out to the sea. Concentrating, she builds up a Burst Stream in her mouth, then fires it off, the concentrated shot of light going out over the ocean... then immediately dispersing and dissolving once it hits the invisible barrier.

She points upwards, trying to indicate it's up in the air, too.]

So even you're stuck here eh...

[Man that sucks. He thought maybe he could ride out on her or something.]

That's unfortunate.

[She lets the energy wash over her again, transforming back.]

It is. Trust me, I've tried, but once I get past that barrier, my wings lock up and I fall. And even high falls hurt for me.

I see...

[Well you're not rendered completely useless yet. There may be a use for you in the future.]

If there's a barrier like that, there's gotta be a thing makin' it right?

[Like a computer? Those things can do that right? Right?]

Yes, but none of us have any idea what it could be. This place has been here for a long time now, and everyone who's been here has looked around. I think every part of the school except for the North Wing has been picked over, and the North Wing is... strange. There's a lot of items there from home or elsewhere, but there's also a lot of magic that does a lot of... odd things.

[She runs a hand through her hair, sighing.]

The only person who seems to know anything is that lady whose voice comes over the intercom.

[He growls.]

One day I'll get my hands on that woman.

[Then take control! After he makes her and who ever she works for pay for imprisoning him.]

Good luck! I'll root for you if you do.

[He cracks his neck and murmurs before heading back indoors. He seems to distracted to give a proper goodbye]
