It doesn't look like any dragon I'm familiar with.

If anyone does need help getting somewhere safe, I can help.

[hard_talker]

Well I hope someone around here knows how to calm it down, otherwise, we're fucked, because I'm pretty sure we're fresh out of armor and lances.

... Thanks. I'll let you know. What floor are you on?

[courageous_wit]

The fifth floor, but I can be anywhere very quickly.

[hard_talker]

Lemme guess, it's a magic thing?

[youfallback]

[Efficiently:] I'll be out there immediately.

[hard_talker]

Okay, thanks, C. Watch your ass, yeah?

[youfallback]

Copy that. Over and out.

[hard_talker]

It's a dragon, haven't you read any books? It'll knock 'em down!

[borgiararity]

The books tell of princesses in towers not basements.

[hard_talker]

Well, this ain't your typical Once Upon A Time kinda castle. Hate to break it to ya.

[mogitate]

D-D-Dragon!?

Wh-Where's the basement!?

[hard_talker]

There's a door down to it near the kitchen ... my friend Hermione's offered to help show people to safe places. If you want, I can have her come and get you.

[mogitate]

No I'm good! I'm more worried about others!

[hard_talker]

Oh, okay. I just ... didn't recognize your voice, so I figured you were new.
