[week 22, day 6] here be dragons -- video

[When the Hitomi feed clicks on, it's focused on a hand--a very close-up hand. Ginko pulls back after a moment, allowing the viewer to see that his shirt has several rips in it, and he’s soaking wet. His hair is dripping a little, which probably means that whatever this is... it happened very recently. He looks fine other than that--no blood,

Yeah we do. Sometimes I'm one of them.

[Somehow, Matt doesn't think he means Iskierka.]

But I wouldn't attack people, and neither would the actual dragons I know.

[video]

[verdant_walker]

[Well, he'd known about you.] This was a wild one. Obviously an animal, not an intelligent being.

[He fingers his shirt again, absently.]

It didn't exactly attack me... it was just scaring me off. I frightened it.

[video]

[mightstealyrcar]

Huh.

[With the other video he saw recently, Matt thinks this might be a Thing, deserving of the capital letter, and a Thing that needs dealing with. He feels an affinity for dragons, though, since it was the first morph he got, and hates to think of badly of them.]

Defending its dinner, right. How big was it?

[He can't help asking the other question on his mind.] And do you seriously not know how to sew?

[video] - sewing is totally manly. And a survival skill, of course.

[verdant_walker]

[He gives Matt a slightly flat look, then glances down at his shirt--which has several large chunks of fabric missing.]

Of course I know how to sew. I'm just not sure this shirt can be saved.

And as for the dragon... bigger than me? Not large enough to eat me whole, though.

Sewing *is* manly, just ask Ishida :D

[mightstealyrcar]

Okay, okay. Just asking.

[Now that he sees the extent of the damage, he's inclined to agree that the shirt's a lost cause. Matt can sew decently, though he's used his skills with stitching up people more than fabric.]

I didn't know there were wild dragons here. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Where were you?

Hahahah

[verdant_walker]

Somewhere between Raisato and Tsuchisato. I don't know exactly.

[He kind of chuckles softly.]

That's what everyone seems to be saying. That they hadn't known about the dragons, that is.

[mightstealyrcar]

[Yeah, Matt's pretty sure it's a Thing by now.]

Might be another thing the gods're doing to fuck with us.

[verdant_walker]

[A light hum, could be agreement, could just be noise to fill the slight pause while he ponders that.]

...could be. Guess we'll see... if it is, I'm sure there will be more of them showing up before long.

[mightstealyrcar]

Would you let me know if you run into any more?

[verdant_walker]

Of course. I'll be sure to let everyone know, if that happens. [Dragons are srs bzns, yo.]

[mightstealyrcar]

Thanks. I might, um. See if there's anything I can do.

['cause when Matt's a dragon? He is big enough to eat a guy whole.]
