Okay which of ya idiots 'round here was tapping into the Azure Flames? That stuff's not meant for any sorcerer or whatever ta go mucking 'round in. 's real dangerous stuff fer literally e'ryone who ain't me. People've tried and probably blown themselves up while I was takin' my nearly dying nap. I'm 'ere ta make sure ya city ain't on fire and maybe help put down whatever idiot's tryin' ta tap inta it.

It's late morning. The sun is shining, and there is a man on foot in Domino, cursing 'damned brats' and 'I left my bike in an intentionally safe place with boring people'. He's maybe investigating screams somewhere, that sound like a man being thrown through the sky. Or maybe he's just lost. The city got bigger and weirder since the last time he was here.

Re: [Event]
A snort.
"Okay, the sexual innuendos, from Gina? Damn, she really IS my heir. ... what're ya queen over these days anyway?"
Re: [Event]
She kinda strong armed me into a relationship, I'll probably need to rethink it once she's okay, but there was a brief moment where she was cool as hell. Then she became a fish.
... In-exile. Let's not talk about it too much.
Re: [Event]
Wait, I thought she 'elped ya get that kingdom back? 'Swhy I didn't step in."
Re: [Event]
Got kicked out of it by the lords of the far eastern realms who paid tribute to me at one time. The Eastern Court.
All doors are locked and closed.
The entire Western Court was summarily banished with me. I think you realize the implications.
Re: [Event]
No WONDER things feel fucked! Me damn, what the fuck?!"
Re: [Event]
I don't know either what their greater intentions are.
But the Western Court's been dealt with. My partner cast their leadership all into a prison deep within a Misiurewicz point, and seized the authority of their nameless queen for herself.
Re: [Event]
... wait so yer signer's a fae queen now an' yer ol' court's all jus' imprisoned?"
Re: [Event]
She ate a royal fae tart. She's my signer. An empath psychic. Born on an island in The Sea of Chaos.
::Wiggles her fingers.::
She's also a Dark Signer and become the locus of a divine ascension ritual that targeted her grandmother but refocused on her, due to the former's incompetence.
Re: [Event]
Too fuckin' fast. Ain't a fan."
Re: [Event]
I tried to let her get to 13 or 15, but the monsters the Eastern Court exiled me with were just too ravenous to finally escape their prison and return the world to before the sun was ever made.
And it blew up in my face.
::Sighs.::
Re: [Event]
"That's... a distressingly recurrin' theme for ya, ain't it? Ya sure Humbaba's death curse didn't hit ya too?"
Re: [Event]
Maybe, you and Enks and me never had much for luck, anyways.
And I'm worried while she deserves a few more years, let her get to high school, god... It's going to blow up again...
Re: [Event]
An'... damn. Alright. I'll... see what I can do ta 'elp 'er? I remember gettin' picked ta carry weight I didn't wanna. Fuckin' sucked. Iunno, burn down the entire eastern court?"
Re: [Event]
Sure, if you can find them, Gil. And I've always had trouble thinking Enks was sentient. At least in the way you and I are.
::Tapping her foot.::
... Do I look too much like a child now?
Re: [Event]
... Yeah. Part o' 'er allure, I guess. But, yeah, I've thought that myself, which is, uh, par fer the course given where I think she came from."
A pause. Cyril still looks like he's in his early twenties, max. Shrugs.
"Iunno. Yer less like, ultra-hyper femme from the other yous I've seen in Domino, but like... Iunno. It feels suitable? If ya think that it's, like, interferin' with people not takin' ya seriously and maybe playing with yer brain a bit it may be worth reconsiderin' stuff. I personally think yer cute like this. Adds a layer of vulnerability, I guess?"
Re: [Event]
... You're the only one who could say that in a way that wouldn't make me feel terribly upset...
::Smiles wistfully.::
Re: [Event]
Look, if it makes ya 'appy, keep it. If it's makin' ya fret 'n worry personally, change it. But don't go changin' 'cause the world's been an especially shit place recently. I guess it's 'cause yer signer was so young an' 'ad a mom, ya opted for babysitter rather than like, ultra-matron?"
Re: [Event]
I did it so I wouldn't get arrested and taken into a police car for being around a 3? 4? year old?
Re: [Event]
"But yeah, like I said. Babysitter ta older sister vibes. Good, gentle vibes, honestly? Ya dun feel like yer gonna stomp on someone's spine fer a minor infraction, like the other dragons. "
Re: [Event]
My previous Signer at that point, her aunt, Shinoko, was mentally a basketcase due to having the simultaneous personalities of an old maid secretary and tween that never got resolved. ... And I'm not sure ever did.
And. ... No, the next Signer's already in line. And is. 3 to 4. Again. And is Kamala's aunt. The Crismon Dragon's 'script', I find, prefers the part of the Ancient Fairy Signer to be a child, who tragically finds out they have a twisted origin and belong not in the realm of man, and must suffer sorrows and sorrows.
Re: [Event]
... that dragon needs ta be yeeted into the sun or somethin', jeez. Or like, brought up ta like, better standards. 's jus' unacceptable bullshit at this point, an' ain't healthy fer ya ta keep gettin' tasked THAT fer yer duty."
Re: [Event]
Someone that never existed. And as to the dragon, it could be. But its 'operating system' has not been updated since the Spanish Invasion of South America. And only humans can change it.
Re: [Event]
He sighs and then looks up.
"So, uh. What're ya gonna do 'bout my granddaughter? Is that somethin' I should, uh. Get involved with? I kinda dun want a weird sea serpent grandkid runnin' 'round."
Re: [Event]
We did, when the Spaniards hadn't killed all but barely a dozen members of the People of the Stars, most of whom suffered from smallpox.
::Sighs.::
Kiko...
I should go resolve that myself, I've always been the most cowardly of the Signer Dragons. Anxious. Defensive. Let me see what I can do on my own, Gils. If I fail, go headbutt her until the stupid pours out of her. But. I should make an effort to clean up my own mistakes.
Re: [Event]
Cyril pauses. And just pulls you into a tight hug.
"Maybe it's 'cause ya've 'ad a... well, kinda a whole lot o' setbacks since I went comatose. But the Diana I know is pretty brave, pallin' 'round with some idiot 'oo never wanted ta be king an' a wild demon. An' this... ain't yer mistake, I dun think. The girl's an idiot, jus' like 'er whole family tree. An' no one really 'anded 'er an instruction manual on 'ow ta be what she is. And if she was given what she thought were answers, well, can't blame 'er ta much fer endin' up this way. An' ya can't blame yerself. I betcha yer thinkin' somethin' like 'I should've noticed' or 'I could've helped' but ya've had yer 'ands completely full with yer duties which 'ave been especially shit lately. An' unfortunately fer us both, our weird duties sometimes come 'fore the people we love."
He pauses, considering your current body.
"An' if this form is the one that's got ya thinkin' yer cowardly, maybe go back. Not like, ta anythin' ya've worn recently, 'less one o' those makes ya feel like ya ain't what you're bein' down on yerself 'bout. Go old school. Show 'em what ya looked like when ya 'elped bring down the Lord of the Cedar Forest."
