"Roger that Control, I'm coming in for landing. Over." Closet circles the landing strip, the cargo of kittens, bunnies and baby pandas bustling about in the back of the aircraft. Gravity starts to shift violently and the controls force the vessel into a nosedive straight into the concrete platform. As the metal surrounding the cockpit buckle from impact the craft suddenly ignites, spreading a blanket of flame and viscera all around the pavement like confetti.
*clings to self and gently rocks in a corner* "One, two, Freddy's coming for you..."
Lol at everything Ghira'. When I asked my cousin the same thing, she told me it's handy to have a few cottonbuds handy. A tad ew. I had a nose-stud and honestly you don't notice it's there after a while.
My word, Soul, those dragons are lovely :D So we have one that has access to, and some control over, another's desires, and one that is essentially a very powerful empath. Lunar's 'Of Silence' ability is very intriguing. Can the Dragon go so far as to silence a person's thoughts, causing all matters of chaos from the expected psychological fallout? Is it the isolation they feel when all ambient sounds are muted - being 'trapped' within their own mind - that yields these effects (confusion, self-doubt, paranoia, etc.)? In any case, given the individuality of every mind, the effects would be ever-changing. I would love to see how a roleplayer uses this one in combat ^__^
Pearl and Amethyst will have an interesting dynamic, I imagine; possibly toxic for the former due to the latter's greed and penchant for shiny things. It reminds me of a character I used to play, their abilties were not completely derived from their presidence over the dream 'realm' or 'state', but from the products that created them - aspirations and desires, fears and doubts, failures and untouched goals. I'm guessing Pearl will deal more with the positive aspects, as a counterpart to Merrik's Opal. Can they create, through astral projection or a more generalised form of illusion magic, manifestations of these things? During conflict, Pearl could gather these to his/her arsenal and wield them as phantoms intended to distract or dismay an enemy. Another way of using astral projection is to travel ahead of the physical body, seeking threats or surveiling the terrain. I'll even go so far to think that perhaps this Dragon revels in the swathe of wants and desires emanating from those near. It could empower or nourish the Dragon's mind and body, and would make them an ideal ally for those who deal in, or are obsessed with, secrets. Again, just thinking aloud. Where most Dragons are naturally suited for physically demanding, offensive tasks, this one fulfils the role of a mental assassin or illusionist. It's quite a dangerous thing to have on any team.
/blab I need to hurry up and post, omg.
