[ Summer heat! Great for more time in the sun or sticking inside the air-conditioned buildings. Anyway, it's humid. Make sure to stay hydrated and apply sunscreen!

Heard there were some new faces, though. Why not greet them! ]

...Oh.

[looking around]

...This looks like a hotel, though.

[happydreamed]

They have put some effort into trying to replicate Earth's Japan. I believe for 'authenticity'?

[paradiseunboxed]

...Authenticity? For what purpose?

[rugpull]

What kind ya want?

[rugpull]

I'll let ya get away with it. Yer not gonna be a pain about me lookin' uncool.

[stoneandstave]

Mind if I ask what you've found? I could always use some more interest in beauty in my life.

[ He finishes lashing his carved reeds together with the grass, and gives them some glancing blows to triple check that they're in tune properly. ]

[owlseeyouinhell]

Mmmmm....any kind with meat!

[rugpull]

Ain't a casserole but ya seem like a guy who could eat a meatloaf in one sittin'.

[heavyliesthecrown]

In the meantime, there are many new faces to meet here. Did you have a destination, or is this your first foray outside of your unit's dorm?

[featherbeaned]

[ flops over DRAMATICALLY ]

... Still. S'pose it's good to know Nil goes from being a Big Bad Arch-Nemesis to some kinda teammate.

[purestdust]

No, not quite. Maybe if I manage to be an actual challenge next time.

[purestdust]

Yes, I thought so as well.

If possible, I think I'd like to work together on some of your projects too.

[protectshisown]

[He's gonna start vibrating with excitement at this rate Pretzel.]

Oh my gods, I just realized its been forever since I could actually just talk nerd with someone. [Listen, it is what it is.] I've been able to ramble plenty, but not many people could make a lot of suggestions for the wilder stuff I try to make happen.

[purestdust]

[ GET EXCITED, NERD!!! ]

It will be a while before I have my memories back, so my expertise will be limited for now. Still, I think it'll be stimulating if we were to work together. Helping you brainstorm and providing suggestions would certainly help us both grow.

[protectshisown]

[SO EXCITED]

To be honest, your memories may not necessarily limit that much. How thorough the memory loss can be varies, but I've found anything that wasn't...

Emotionally important for a skill, I could remember. Like I could remember all sorts of dragon facts, except when it came to Night Furies. My partner is a Night Fury, so anything about them was emotionally important, but other dragons, facts just took focusing on them to recall.

Same with other skills, the trick is just getting your mind to think on that track and it can be surprising how much you recall.

[purestdust]

Caeli did mention something similar. But I can't imagine I will be able to perform to satisfactory levels regardless. Ah, though I do think that my standards are quite high.

When I think about it, what I want to create ... is life itself. And I do not have the skills for it now.

[protectshisown]

....life?

[purestdust]

[ he nods ]

That's the pinnacle of creation after all. Something like restoring a long lost extinct species of plant or flower, studying its properties as if they had bloomed just today. Or again, an animal that is no longer walking the earth.

The practical uses are near limitless, and it's great study material besides.

[protectshisown]

[There is]

[A pause.]

An animal that is no longer walking the earth...

[Its come up, a few times. There aren't any other Night Furies. Toothless is an extreme rarity. He's never seen another.]

[Any facts of Night Furies are directly connected to Toothless.]

[The idea has crossed his mind more then once, wondering if there IS any other Night Furies.]

[purestdust]

... Did that strike a chord? If you're interested in the topic, I will make sure to share any research with you.

[protectshisown]

I-

Ah.

Yeah. Yeah. Just. There were a number of dragon species hunted almost to extinction. They're not extinct yet, but you can only breed a small population of any creature so much before things get weird. And that's if there's even a mateable pair left.

[And one might be his best friend's.]

That subject sounds like it might be the emotional topic.

[purestdust]

[ he's quiet for a moment as he thinks it over ]

You're right.

I do think this is something I'm very attached to. I wonder what its significance is.

[protectshisown]

Well, when it comes to creating life, odds are its either healer personality orientated, or incredibly sad.

Potentially both.

Or a god complex, but you don't seem quite arrogant enough for that.

[purestdust]

I wouldn't discard god complex quite yet. I am without memories and as it stands any of that could be an option.

Though with that said, I think I'd like it if I could help you with your world situation.

[protectshisown]

[Rye considers him for a long moment.] If that's the answer, those memories are going to be pretty wild. That isn't something that's going to come easily.

[People are exhausting. People can be difficult. But he trusts his judge of character and he doesn't see it in Pretzel.]

It would be nice. There are some amazing dragon species. And one of the species is potentially a great source of medicine. Its saliva after eating certain herbs is the only known cure for a disease with an almost hundred percent mortality rate, let alone what else it could help. [Also Toothless.]

Not sure how much I'll be able to help that kind of research. I'm a genius in my world, but that is wildly out of anything I've got experience in. Pretty sure the medical stuff I know doesn't even come close.
