About Me

Don't listen to what my profile says, I haven't been here for seven years (or whatever it says). I actually 'joined' on 19th Feb 2015, which makes it almost five years!

I'm not too confident in myself, but I like most of the things I write so I count that as a pass. Even less confident about interacting with people online (how do you read reactions and emotions through only text and know for certain if you haven't actually pissed off the other person or weirded them out or???) but I give it a shot from time to time 'cause I like role playing and that evens out. I've only just gotten back into it after a couple years, though, so I'm taking one RP at a time.

(also hey a somewhat decent description of me instead of a one-liner, that's nice)
Preferences

Fine with most things. More specifically, uncomfortable with smut and slash, incompetent at historical genres (okay I can write it passably with research but I just wanna write and not think too much about it), and totally in love with fantasy, sandbox and slice of life. Granted, fantasy does hand out free headaches with all the rules and things needed to have worldbuilding with solid foundations, but at least you get to describe cool, flashy magic, right?
Others

I love cats. Also a Muslim. Think that's about it.

So, uh, hi guys.

I'd like to join? =D
Energy Twinkle

"Yay!" cheered Energy as soon as she heard Rhys say, "Fine". Throwing a fist into the air, she whooped and turned before attempting to run on instinct. It turned out to be a bad idea for she had only taken two steps before losing her balance and falling flat on her stomach. The only thing that stopped her face from introducing itself to the ground was her hands slapping onto the dirt.

"Ow." Quickly recovering herself, Energy rolled over, pushing herself up into a sitting position. Her palms stung from slapping the grass and dirt and goodness knew what was on the forest floor but for some reason her chest had hurt more. Now that she thought about it, her chest also felt heavier. Raising her eyebrow, she lifted her shirt and was surprised to find her chest...well-developed, shall we say. Intrigued, she poked one of the strange fleshy humps with a finger and it was weirdly soft, wobbling slightly as she did so. Confused, Energy looked up at Rhys with her shirt still lifted up.

"Hey Rhys, what are these?"
Energy Twinkle

The teenage girl that sat on the ground cocked her head at Rhys. Energy only grinned, taking in her friend's new look.

"Well, you don't look too bad," she commented easily, getting up again on her unsteady legs. It looked like Rhys was already quickly adapting to his new form, whereas she was still slowly getting used to hers. A flash of frustration rose up within her but she hurriedly shoved it back down, her grin unwavering.

"Oh, I think you know what we're doing next," she said, humour dancing in her eyes. She nearly pranced forward on all fours in her excitement but she stopped herself, remembering that she wasn't quite quadrupedal anymore.

"Let's go out into the world!" she exclaimed, enthusiastically repeating her previous idea, "We can't exactly go back now like this. What's the harm in going out for a little adventure? We might even find a reverse spell somewhere out there." Unlike her friend, Energy hadn't quite thought this through. She hadn't thought of all the needs their human bodies might need that their dragon ones had not. She had not thought of how they could even blend in with civilisation. She hadn't even thought of where they would even go. No, the excited Whiptail-dragon-turned-human had not thought of those things at all.
Energy Twinkle

She had been prepared for him to come after the scroll floating in front of her. What she hadn't expected was for him to crash into her as well, causing the both of them to land in a heap on the forest floor.

"Gah-ow!" Oh, she was going to feel that one tomorrow. Apparently, shifting into a human didn't do her fragility any good. She stopped at that thought. "Shifting into a human"?

Widening her eyes, she sat up as Rhys stumbled off her. The spell must have affected him too, her mind numbly noted. Right now, though, she was concerned about herself. She was smaller in size, that was for sure as the trees around them were noticeably larger than before. What was strange was that her entire physique had changed.

Her skin was way paler than her usual colour but they still retained a brown-ish hue. However, she knew that the humans tended to come in few different colours in so many different shades and she had often wondered why when her own kind was limitless in terms of colours. And...it was her skin. She didn't have scales anymore. Just soft, squishy, vulnerable skin. Energy poked her hands a few times before sighing. "Way to increase my frailty," she thought wryly. Her limbs were different too. Her claws were gone, replaced by pink nails. She had ten fingers and probably ten toes on her feet. She couldn't really count because she had odd, cloth thingies that were grey and had blue strings knotted on top of them covering her feet. Shoes, she recalled them to be. She had on other human accessories on her too. A soft, thin light brown long-sleeved shirt with familiar diamond blue stripes running across its front. A glance at her back showed that there were stripes too, at the back of her shirt, though not connected to the ones in front. The stripes on both sides had spiky ends. A pair of black slacks went all the way down her legs.

Something soft brushed her cheek. Mildly irritated, she swatted it away, only for it to fall back against her face. With a slight frown, she grabbed it and tugged, only to realise that she also had hair now. Fascinated, she brought it to her front, inspecting the strands that now brushed against her back and shoulders, covering her neck. It was dark brown, the same colour as the scales she used to have. With a slight grin, she instinctively got onto her hands and knees before remembering that humans were supposed to be bipedal. Huffing, she got up slowly, first on one knee, then her own two feet. Unused to her new centre of balance, she stumbled, before steadying herself with the huge root protruding from the ground. Due to her new small size, calling the root a towering wooden wall was more apt.

Her legs were trembling, she realised. She wasn't used to this new form and so, her new limbs weren't used to carrying around her weight either, it seemed. Thinking back on the spell, Energy had also now discovered the difference between it and a regular camouflage spell. It didn't just camouflage the caster, it completely changed their physiology altogether. Technically, it was her fault that they both had changed so she supposed she deserved the consequences of this incident.

One thing she was glad for, though, was that she wasn't completely human. She could feel her dragon ears hidden within her long straight hair - and she reached up with a hand to affirm this - and look at that! Her long tail had stuck with her!

"Oh my faithful tail! I wouldn't know what I'd do without you!" she cried happily, snuggling her tail against her cheek with her hands. Which required taking a hand off the root so she promptly fell on her butt.

"Oomph!" Wincing, she rubbed her bottom before noticing that her tail was stripeless. It was just a plain brown tail now. "Huh."
Energy Twinkle

Energy rolled her eyes, as a smirk tugged at the corners of her mouth, unconcerned about the Royal Crimson's actions. She knew precisely what to do to get his attention.

"That's alright, go on ahead!" she called after him, her voice the very sound of sweet innocence. "I'll join you in a bit - I just want to take a peek at the spell first." It wasn't just meant to attract his attention. She really did want to look at the spell. Maybe she wouldn't cast it on herself right away, but she was curious to see what made it so different from other camouflaging spells. Lowering her tail, she used her telekinesis to direct the scroll to levitate in front of her. Narrowing her eyes, she focused her magic on breaking the seal.

The seal broke easily enough. With bated breath, Energy unrolled the scroll with anticipation, her eyes scanning it for the spell it contained. Now that it was unlocked, she could feel the strong magic now flowing out of it, surrounding her. Words were written carefully on the fragile parchment paper.
"What one will be,
What one will see,
True souls be free,
Body and mind,
With change in thee...
"

Energy read aloud to herself the spell, well aware of the build-up of magic that was now coursing around her. The spell was initiating itself now that she had opened the scroll and read out its contents but she wasn't too worried. After all-

"Wait. Where's the reverse spell?!" Indeed, there was no sign of another spell that would reverse the one she had just cast. She blinked, her grin now nervous instead of cheery.

"Oops?"
Energy Twinkle

Slightly put off by her friend's negative response, Energy pouted, her tail that clutched the scroll subconsciously retracting further behind her.

"Well, duh, of course I don't. But I would if we went out there, wouldn't I?" Her grin only seemed to widen, a teasing edge to her voice.

"Humans discovering our existence would be bad," she nodded, tapping a claw against her chin before calmly (or as calm as she could be) putting it back down, "So we just can't screw up, then!" Her eyes darted back to the scroll, which hung limply from her tail. She could sense the magic from it, the complexity of the spell it contained. Yes, she'd heard that it was meant to camouflage dragons as the humans but she had a feeling that it was more than a simple camouflage. Which made her all the more curious. The magical seal on the scroll itself was simple. Normally, they'd be more complicated but she had a feeling that the Elders had entrusted her father with the scroll, thus simplifying the seal.

At that particular thought, guilt jabbed suddenly into her heart and she wondered if she really should have taken it in the first place. However, upon remembering her very reason for taking it in the first place, her wish to do something in her boredo-err, to explore the unknown world that lay beyond the ancient trees that made up their home, she shook off the thought.

At Rhys' request on returning the scroll, Energy merely stuck out her tongue playfully and leapt backwards, landing on top of one of the humongous roots that supported the massive tree she had buried the scroll by. Her wings were now half stretched out, ready to take flight if Rhys were to give chase - which she didn't doubt he would indeed do. Though since she wasn't actually running away at the moment, she would consider herself safe for now.

"Come on, Rhys, it's just for a little while! What could a teensy weensy venture out in the open possibly do to harm any dragon?" she pleaded, her ever cheery grin never leaving her face.


Energy Twinkle

"But why not?" Energy blurted out, still bouncing. She stopped, a sheepish expression overcoming her.

"I mean, of course not. I-I'd never just go through my parents' things. It's just, you know, I was looking at them..." spluttered the Whiptail, fidgeting a little. She had honestly not meant her outburst, though. Naturally, Energy had been an inquisitive little dragon since her hatchlinghood but she knew not to just up and nose around in her parents' stuff. While it was fun to do that to her friends to sate her ever curious impulses, she knew her place with the older dragons.

Well, sometimes.

"Anyway, that's not the point," she said, pulling herself together. As quickly as it had dissipated, her enthusiasm returned full force. "Okay, so you know my dad's a Magi dragon, right? Of course you do, you've known me my whole life. So last night, when he came back from a meeting with the Elders and a couple other dragons, he had this scroll with him! And I'm pretty sure it's what lets the chosen dragons travel to the Human Lands!" She beamed, the very idea of it filling her with ecstasy. Energy had always thought about going out into the world, though not necessarily the Human Lands. All dragons had been taught that humans were despicable, after all. However, for someone as hyperactive and excited as Energy, who could get worked up about almost anything, the forest just wasn't enough for her. She wanted to see the places that dragons could only talk about.

Sighing, the Whiptail looked up at the emerald green leaves and thick, mud-coloured branches that snaked through them that served as their natural roof. They were a world away from the outside and while most dragons wouldn't even think of going to such a place, Energy Twinkle dreamed of venturing the foreign lands. She looked back at Rhys, her eyes now practically sparkling with joy at the thought of an adventure out in the open.

"Wouldn't it be great if we could go out there?" she grinned, a hopeful expression on her face.
Energy Twinkle

The only reason she was even speed-walking at the moment was to restrain herself from outright running off. Had she done so, it would have left her friend behind and would completely defeat the purpose of bringing him along. Energy just grinned back at Rhys, her sky blue eyes gleaming.

"I kinda did. Sorry 'bout that, big guy," she replied, humour evident in her voice with a tone that implied that she was, in fact, not sorry at all. She abruptly stopped, her ears flicking as she glanced around the area. The part of the forest they were in looked no different than any other part of it but that was precisely why she had chosen that spot. "After all, it would be really bad if any other dragon or human had found it here." She chased away the thought, reassuring herself with the unlikelihood of anyone coming across what she had hidden there.

"Well, you're in luck! We're here~" she chirped excitedly, bouncing on her paws. Stopping just as abruptly as she had begun bouncing, she looked around again, this time scrutinising each tree close to them. Her gaze fell onto a tree with a trunk as thick and rough as any other but had four small ferns drooping slightly at its roots, vaguely resembling a peeled banana, without the banana. Twitching her tail, Energy's diamond blue stripes began to give off a low glow as she focused her telekinesis on the spot with the ferns. Almost casually, a few pawfuls of dirt, as well as the ferns, was lifted out of the ground, a second item following and drifting towards Energy. With a happy squeak, she snatched it with her tail, dumping the levitating soil and plantation back where it belonged and the thin magical blue aura surrounding it disappeared, as did the glow radiating off her stripes.

"Guess what I found in my parents' cave last night!" she said, practically filled from head to tail with exhilaration, once again bouncing on her paws. Her tail, which was extended above her head, was curled tightly around a scroll, complete with a magic seal and parchment paper.
Energy Twinkle

The Whiptail dragon only grinned at her grumbling friend. Her long, striped tail twitched excitedly as she speed-walked ahead of the Royal Crimson. Clearly, Energy Twinkle was excited, as she nearly always was, even for the smallest thing. Hopping onto a mound of soil stacked against the thick trunk of a tree, she flashed a grin at Rhys, her canines plainly showing, before jumping off it.

"Nope!" she answered, skipping ahead once more, "My hunting shift starts at that time and there's no way I'm going out at night if we're gonna do this." At that, she paused before slowly continuing onwards, deliberately not looking at her friend as she continued speaking.

"Speaking of which, it might not entirely be...within the uh, barrier," admitted Energy hesitantly. She was actually a little surprised that Rhys hadn't noticed that they had passed the exit earlier, one of few in the magical barrier that surrounded their clan. Of course, the exits looked no different than the rest of the barrier, due to the Elder dragons' illusionary spell, but any dragon that knew magic could sense the subtle shift in the barrier to know that it was an entrance or exit point. Only the dragons chosen to infiltrate the Human Lands went through those. Granted, the dragons that had to hunt also left the barrier on a daily basis but they had to stick to a set perimeter to avoid contact with the humans.

To sum it all up, Energy was breaking a rule. Maybe two if she went through with what she wanted to show her friend. Then again, she had ensured that no dragon had seen them leave the barrier and caused no reason for any dragon to suspect her of doing anything wrong. Except maybe for Rhys. Well, what the Elders didn't know wouldn't harm them. She grinned at the thought.
Username: Night_Star
Name: Energy Twinkle
Species: Whiptail dragon
Age: Just entered the Adult stage
Personality: Energy Twinkle is just like her name - she has so much energy, she's usually gone in the twinkle of an eye! She's very friendly and she just cannot sit still. Exploring new places is her thing, especially places that have a sense of mystery and adventure about them. Energy tends to easily get over-excited about something and she can get so hyped about something, it's almost heart-breaking to see her reaction when things don't turn out the way she expects them to. She has a stubborn streak when the situation calls for it. When there's a fight, she never backs down, no matter how fragile her Whiptail body might be.
Appearance:


Abilities/Powers: She's slightly faster than most other Whiptails and has some experience with magic, being able to use moderate telekinesis from pushing a candle over to lifting up another dragon. However, she does not use magic much as it takes a toll on her fragile body.
Other: Running around is one of the things she does best - and she likes it! While using telekinesis, her blue stripes will glow. Like other Whiptails, she is physically weak but her acute speed and agility more than makes up for it.
