TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT GENERATOR

[mayberaven]

[Dan Heng is a person, self-aware and the whole shebang. So Fjord has to resist the urge to tweak the tip of the hanging tail.

It doesn't stop him being incredibly amused by the visual of tiny little dragon hanging out in a cup. It's surprisingly charming.]

Seems like you're perkin' up some there. [The amusement is not being hidden in his voice at all, no matter his resisting the urge to mess with his companion.]

[guardofthetrail]

[It’s a bit like decent medication kicking in for a headache.]

Yeah. I’m feeling a lot better. I didn’t want to take up much room and this… [He gestures with a foot again.]

This is a perfect way to handle it.

[mayberaven]

How big's your dragon shape normally?

[Because honestly that whole thing with turning into a dragon is actually kind of cool. Fjord might be the teensiest bit jealous.]

[guardofthetrail]

Vast. I haven’t used the full size since I got here. Having transformation be this easy and without consequence is strange.

There was a price for it at home. [But here? None. It’s still very odd but welcome.]

[mayberaven]

Sounds pretty impressive. What kinda price though? There's like... polymorph back home to shapeshift, or druids doin' their druid-y thing... but the cost on those isn't anything too wild that I know of.

[guardofthetrail]

[Dan Heng drapes his head over the rim of the mug. How does he put this?]

…we give up being in the present. It’s hard to care about the present when the view you have when you shift is the same view a mountain has of the people walking upon it. It’s a heavier price than I think scholars and historians really realize.

[mayberaven]

That... sounds intense.

[The idea of it is definitely something he thought it was unsurprising that people might underestimate the consequence of. All he could really compare it to was the idea of how one might view something like an ant crawling along their arm or something of the sort. It would be impossible to have more than a passing thought for such a thing, and that was if a person even noticed it in the first place.]

I think I can kind of understand why you wouldn't risk it that often. Probably not nearly close to why, but that's not really surprising. It's a pretty big outlook shift to try and sort out.

[guardofthetrail]

It is. It puts the High Elder closer to the aeon we originated from. The way of permanence is widely misunderstood. The truth of it is the only permanent thing in all of life is that things change.

And that is why being able to change as I please is…very different. [He wiggles in his cup and settles himself so he’s very comfortable. His head and front feet resting on the rim.]

…I’ve avoided my true size. If the price is still there. I don’t want to become it lightly. I will need to hold onto a purpose before I take shape or I will lose myself. And thus not able to truly assist.

[mayberaven]

Don't rightly blame you bein' cautious about it.

[Fjord considered it a bit farther as he nibbled at his breakfast.]

Bein' without a purpose though... I think just about anyone'd lose themselves even a little. Maybe not to the degree you're talkin' about, but still.

[guardofthetrail]

[He has absorbed enough water that his head doesn’t feel like it is trapped in a vice. He flows out of the mug and as he passes by the edge of the table he changes back.

But this time he doesn’t wrap himself in a guise. His hair is long and edges into green. His eyes are marked with red at the edges. His sharply pointed ears just adds to the picture.

He sits down, arranging his robes and tail.] You’re right.

[The voice is the same.] With the High Elders often so isolated to do their duties. They don’t have an anchor in the present.

I do but, hopefully I will never have a reason to show my true size.

[mayberaven]

[Lucky bastard. Fjord will just have to suffer his hangover for the both of them then. At least the cure seemed to be helping some, he looked way less like he wanted to curl up under the table?

And... the difference in appearance was noticed. Not so much that Dan Heng was unrecognizable but admittedly the change was there, little things that reflected the draconic shape he'd been in. And the overall effect was undeniably cool as hell.]

Well, I'll hope the same then. Both because that seems like it'd be a difficult thing for you to handle, and well it sounds like more a 'last resort' kinda thing.

[guardofthetrail]

It is. [He takes the cup to the sink and empties it. He refills it with coffee and takes it back to the table.

He sips it.] I don’t know what we’ll deal with. But, I’ll always help where I can.

[He takes another drink of coffee to hide a faint smile.] Even if it’s something like adjusting lighting and making French toast.

[mayberaven]

[Fjord can't help but laugh, even if it was more a low amused huff than anything at the moment.]

Sometimes it's the little things that get you through.

[guardofthetrail]

[His smile grows a little wider, a little more obvious.] It is. And the company.

[He sips his coffee again.] More French toast?

[mayberaven]

[That earns another chuckle from him, brows lifting.] If you think I'm this good hung over just wait 'til I'm back on even keel.

[A consideration but shake of his head.] I'm good, thanks though.
