Who: Tea, everyone
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: 323, noon

[Tea, in her dragon form, is perched on the edge of a table in the hotel lobby, while the rest of said table is covered in muffins! There's a bunch of different flavours: chocolate chip, chocolate, strawberry and white chocolate, lemon, blueberry ... bacon and cheese ... salmon and chive ...]

Hello, hello! Hi! Welcome to my ROLEPLAY AS A DRAGON Live! Eat a tasty muffin, become dragon-shaped, have fun!

[She's also set up a whole bunch of brightly painted cardboard props of various shapes and sizes. Embiggened cardboard "castles", a village of cardboard houses, treasure chests, toy weapons, really bad quality cardboard "knight" armor, and some equally bad quality but non-cardboard prince and princess costumes.]

(OOC: Dragons will be any shape you think is most fitting for your character! They won't be able to fly or breathe fire, and they won't be any bigger than labrador-sized. They will be able to talk.

Mingling with other participants is encouraged!!)

[Levity isn't super certain what a dragon is, but like hell he's going to miss out on finding out! He randomly picks out a muffin - it's curry rice flavour - and, well, soon enough there's a fancy long lad around!

He flaps his wings experimentally a few times to see if they can get him airborne, which they don't, and tries to walk up to Tea--

Tries is the word, because turns out it's not so easy to move around in a totally new body! Levity staggers around, his whole long body flailing awkwardly, before he finally finds his feet. Kind of literally. Why are his legs so short? He stays in place for a bit, stamping his feet experimentally, head bobbing under the weight of his horns, but eventually finds his balance.

He slowly raises himself up, using the leg of the table as a support, and peers at Tea curiously.]

What are the toys for?

Wow, wow! Aren't you a fancy noodle!

[ Loafs down so they're closer to eye-level, her tail swishing happily where it hangs down over the side of the table ]

People told me that dragons in stories have a thing for treasure and royalty.

[He flutters his wings! Fancy noodle indeed!]

You look very cute, too! Have we met before? I'm Levity, from future is now. Are you from AlcheME? Also, what kind of thing? Do we like treasure and royalty?

We haven't! Hi! I am on AlcheMe, that's right, my name's Tea!

I don't care about treasure or royalty one way or the other, but I'm apparently not what most people expect from a dragon. [ Lifts and fluffs her feathered wings in a shrug. ] Mostly I like flying, snacks, hunting, snacks, snacks, comfy pillows, and snacks.

[Oh my god Tea is so FLUFFY... Can he try to reach out to pet her.]

Snacks are very important! What kind do you like?

[ He can! She ever stretches her snoot down to offer herself up for pets. Her plumage is downy-soft and silky, but very dense. Super pettable. ]

Oh, all sorts, all sorts! Meat-snacks, apples, carrots, flapjack, biscuits. I like crunchy and chewy stuff.

[ Gently boops a paw at him, petting in return ]

[I just got back but why not grab a muffin]

Sure, who doesn't want to be a dragon.

Scone! Scone! Yes, be a dragon, I want to see what dragonscone looks like.

[ Eagerly leans forward, ears perked right up ]

Hi Tea.

[Takes a bite and it turns out dragonscone looks something like this. Plus a metal dragon leg of course.]

How do I look?

Edited 2021-01-21 22:47 (UTC)

Cute! Handsome! Glittery! Like a dragon bee.

[ Hops down from the table to circle him ]

I like your horns, they're very stylish.

[Sits there calmly and lets her circle]

I can't see my horns but thanks, I feel pretty now.

You're always pretty, Scone.

[ One last circle, and she breaks away to shove her snout into her message bag, rooting around until she eventually retrieves her phone ]

Let's see if I can get a picture of you without thumbs.

You can't use your phone normally in your dragon form?

[ Lifts a paw to show off her beans. Her li'l toes are quite dexterous all things considered, but they're not exactly on par with human fingers. ]

I cccccccan ... kinda ... I think it's one of the reasons why I made myself human-shaped sometimes on Earth.

[ Plops the phone on the ground and carefully paps at it, bringing up the camera ]

[Tilts his head, watching her finagle the thing]

Makes sense. Thumbs make it a lot easier, but you're managing pretty well.

[ happy peep! ]

Aww, thanks. Practice makes perfect!

[ boop, pap. carefully holds the camera up ]

Ready? Strike a pose!

[In the spirit of dragon roleplay, he is going to drape over her and flop his head on top of hers]

Cheese.

[ with anyone else she might not like the draping so much, but it's fine, it's scone, and she squeaks a laugh as she fumbles with the phone ]

Cheese!

[ Snaps a cute af selfie of the two of them ]

[Scone has special drape privileges and he will exploit them. Sliding off her afterwards to get a look at the photo tho]

It's cute. Send it to me?

You're cute! We're cute.

[ Sends the photo over, setting it as her phone wallpaper as well ]

How does it feel, being dragon-shaped?

Being dragon shaped is a little weird. Everything's a lot lower down, and moving four legs takes some adjustment. But, you're right, I do feel like we're very cute.

Figuring out walking is a doozy.

[ Leans casually against him ]

Welcome back, by the way.

[Leaning is nice]

Thanks. It's good to be back, I missed you.

[ Drapes a wing over his back ]

I missed you too! Where'd they take you, have you been okay?

I've been alright, just doing some photo shoots. It wasn't too bad.

Still rude of them to kidnap you. [ Plops her head on his, now it is HER turn to be affectionate. ] So rude.

But you're back now, so...! Have you eaten?

Oh, rude for sure. I grabbed a muffin and some coffee earlier, but I wouldn't say no to some real food.

Real food, real food! It's a date, come on.

[ starts to pull away, only to pause ]

Oh, wait, wait, do you want to take the antidote?

[Had already started figuring out how to slowly... step forward... with four legs, stumbling a bit on the co-ordination.]

...Yes.

Wait right there.

[ Nyooms over to the messenger bag she'd hidden under the table, pulling out two vials of antidote. One gets rolled over to him, and the other she downs herself. ]

[Okay, but give him a moment to struggle to paw the lid off]

Try holding it in both paws and using your teeth!
