No it's not fleas before anyone asks.

[You know, maybe it's the fact that she's been stuck indoors for a few days and she's still trying to get comfortable in her new surroundings but today Saft's feeling a little well...irritable.

Scratchy even.

Like really scratchy.

As she makes the rounds around The Campus every now and then she pauses to gave a good scratch, whether it's the back of her neck, her leg, just pretty much anywhere she can reach. What's with this? Are you sure you want to come check it out?]

Are you okay?

[It's not like it's some horrible disease or something... right?]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[She hopes not.]

Karasu! Hi... no, no I'm fine I just can't stop scratching.

[moderndaydragon]

Have you tried taking a shower?

[...wait no that sounds insulting.]

I mean, sometimes that helps with itching.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

A shower?

[Still rubbing at her arm, urgh it's starting to look a little red.] No I haven't, I thought about soaking myself in the bath earlier and tried to go for it but I still feel like this!

[moderndaydragon]

Yeah. It might help if you can just get it all washed off. It can't hurt at least, right?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Maybe I should wash my tunic too?

[She sighs.] But there's no lake here, Unless I used the fountain outside?

[moderndaydragon]

Uh...

[Blink.]

Just what time period are you from?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I don't think it's the time, that's the issue... I come from a completley different world.

There's alot of stuff here I haven't quite understood yet. Ryou had to explain some things to me and then that Snake guy told me all about guns too. There's nothing like that back home at all.

[moderndaydragon]

Have you used the shower in your bathroom yet?

[Just. Covering her bases.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...No, not yet.

[It might bite her or something. This weird modern magic is strange. Where the hell does the water even come from?]

[moderndaydragon]

Okay. Let me show you how to use that, all right?

Where's your dorm?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

You must think I'm a total pain, I mean you're a dragon too but at least you seem to know about this kind of stuff, I'm still learning.

And my dorm? It's not too far away from where Sibyll and that Snake guy are staying.

[moderndaydragon]

No, I don't think so. You're from a different world, right? It's just to be expected.

[Okay, she knows where Sibyll is. Off she goes!]

And it's not like it's hard to explain or anything. But the reason I know it is I live in a time and world that's pretty much got this level of technology, just higher in some spots. Honestly, I didn't even figure out the magic part until very recently, so all this is second nature to me.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Saft throws her head back and sighs.] So wait, you have magic AND this technology stuff back home? That's totally an unfair advantage you have over me.

I wish my uncle was here, he'd go nuts over this stuff. He's really into his books and stuff back home so this technology stuff would be really new and exciting to him I guess.

[moderndaydragon]

Not really. The only "magic" I know of is me and my transformation. No one else has any.

[She sounds sad talking about home, and shakes her head.]

Anyway! It's really easy once you get the hang of it.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

That must be pretty diificult. Are humans accepting of dragons back in your world? Where I'm from there are a few but a majority or either scared of us or we have to deal with dragon slayers all the time...

I wish there was a way everyone could just get along. [One moment Karasu, Saft's just got to stop and scratch at this shot on her shoulder.]

[moderndaydragon]

Humans in my world don't think that dragons exist at all. Dragons, magic, any other kind of mythical creatures: it's all just fairy-tales. The only ones they know of that they think are "real" are the Duel Monster cards, and even then they think it's just paper and hol-- illusions.

[She pauses to watch, just watching quietly.]

I wish they could too. I... really do.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Duel-monsters?

[otakon_geek]

[Otacon isn't one to ignore the fact that you are scratching Saft.]

Hey, are you ok? Saft, isn't it? Do you have allergies?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Only mushrooms, but that's more of an actual hatred for the things rather than being allergic to them.]

Not that I know of.

I've never been allergic to anything before.

[otakon_geek]

Hm. That's pretty odd, since I would have thought the itching would be caused by some kind of reaction. Uh, do you have a cat or dog?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...I've got a little brother who looks kind of like a dog. [They're not even really related, He's adopted and a major brat - or at least Saft claims he's a brat.]

Wait, Sibyll has a dog. I was fine up until a few days ago. But I've never had a reaction like this around them before and he's not even here right now.

[otakon_geek]

Ah. Do you think you might have picked up, uh....fleas? [He's trying to be tactful now. Really.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I hope not! Eww...

[otakon_geek]

If it is fleas, maybe you'd better go and see the nurse.
