Who knew tech gave dragons stomach problems?

[moderndaydragon]

[So, those in one of the halls are being treated to a sight. Karasu, in annoyance and frustration, crushed half a wall and ate an intercom.

And it's given her a stomachache. So this particular hallway is now being completely blocked by a dragon who only just barely fits, and even then very precariously, as she's already wrecked one foundation and her mere presence has dented the ceiling and other walls.



Alternatively, a bit later on, Karasu in her human form can be found in the arcade, still with somewhat of a stomachache and sitting at one of the machines in a high-legged chair she stole found somewhere.]

A little bit. But she was insulting me and talking in circles when I was just asking for a rule book, not even about the Campus or anything!

I guess I just snapped a little.

[She was waiting for him to come back, apparently, because she only starts the game once he's settled.]

I was laying around in the hall earlier, but I finally felt okay enough to change back. I figured a distraction would help, but there's not many people playing in here, so I had to do it myself.

[fluffydeathdealer]

So it wasn't just me. She called me 'swine'.

[He looks her over, thoughtfully. It's no wonder she's ill if she ate a box full of metal...]

I'll play with you.

[moderndaydragon]

"Swine?" What did you do?

Ah, that'd be great, actually. More fun with a friend, you know.

[fluffydeathdealer]

I asked her why she didn't have a mental health specialist there. She told me being a swine wasn't a mental illness.

[He sounds grumpy, but at least the prospect of games cheers him up.]

Then let's do it.

[moderndaydragon]

Geeze... she likes putting us down now, too?

[Hooray! 2 Player mode, GO!]

At least I picked a co-op game. I don't think I could play well enough to be a good opponent for you.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heh. Because you don't feel well enough? That's fair enough.

She's a crazy old bitch. I don't think anything will come of talking to her.

[moderndaydragon]

Yeah... I know you don't like people giving up too easy, but I think I have a fair reason for this one!

[She's teasing, of course. But at least having it to focus on seems to be helping, even if she's not doing all that great.]

I guess so. [Sigh.] I wonder what her deal is? She refused to give us information before, and now she's being an outright bitch.

[fluffydeathdealer]

If it's you, I don't mind. I know you're willing to put in the effort where it matters.

[He grins a little, leaning forward to focus on the game easier.]

Clearly she's not getting laid enough.

[moderndaydragon]

Like dueling?

[Ah, crap. There goes another life. Coins, coins...]

Who'd sleep with that?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Of course! Dueling is important.

[Laughing softly, he shakes his head.]

Who knows? There's gotta be someone desperate enough.

[moderndaydragon]

Maybe once I feel better, we can do that.

[Not funny! She pouts a little at him, but finds her coins and rejoins.]

Yeah, but would they ever be able to find her?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Maybe that's why she's so frustrated! Because she can't get her booty calls to find the way there.

[moderndaydragon]

Well that's her fault for being a disembodied voice in the intercom system.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Who knows? Maybe she can't help it! Maybe she's trapped in the intercoms and can only speak once a month.

...or maybe she's just a bitch.

[moderndaydragon]

I'd vote for the latter, myself!

[fluffydeathdealer]

If we ever find her, you can eat her... but she might make you sicker than the intercom. People with evil hearts usually do.

[moderndaydragon]

I feel sick enough just from the intercom. How about we throw her in the ocean instead?

[fluffydeathdealer]

That doesn't feel like nearly enough suffering.

[moderndaydragon]

I'm not good at the whole "suffering" thing.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Pretend she's keeping you from the treasure in the final dungeon.

[moderndaydragon]

She's still a person! ...at least, I think so. It's kind of hard to backstab someone five times if they're a real person.

[fluffydeathdealer]

What? And they say videogames make you violent! You'd be useless in a real fight.

[moderndaydragon]

Hey, in a real fight, I can go into a dragon and just sit on them!

[fluffydeathdealer]

But what if you couldn't transform for any reason? You should at least be able to knock people out.

[moderndaydragon]

Isn't that what you're for?
