<div class="floatleft">(https://img.nickpic.host/AUO88Q.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Dekado (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=341089.msg16147591#msg16147591)<br/><strong>Dragon Type:</strong>Light<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>As pictured<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>Chapter One start date, 1 April 2050 at 7:30 pm<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Raven Park and Ferris Wheel<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Reese, Olena<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Finding his bearings<br/><strong>Word Count:</strong>816 words<br/><hr/><br/>As he was approaching the blonde woman, he felt another dragon slayer. This was definitely Olena’s presence. If he was the type of person to smile, he would have. The weight on him felt lighter now that she was here. Her movements indicated purpose—she had spotted him first. He turned to the direction of her approach and nodded to her.<br/><br/>He turned back to the blonde woman. “Fuck…” Well he had to say that the humans of this world had many and varied reactions. He would probably be saying the same thing if Reece suddenly showed up in his city wondering if there was something new he had to be worried about. “Sorry dude. Look, I wasn’t swearing at y’all, —”<br/><br/>He blinked at that. What exactly was a ‘<em>dood</em>’? Perhaps it was some generic term for a stranger? It was something else he had to look up, like kiosk and cellphone. “Dekado!” he saw her waiving and waved in return. “I see you, Olena.” Perhaps she knew what a dood was. The squirrels watching them looked like they were shrugging their shoulders. They would be of no help.<br/><br/>There was clearly some level of distress he was causing the blonde lady. She seemed a little fixated on his armour. He looked down wondering if it was perhaps dirty. Nope. Still as shiny as ever. Maybe she didn’t appreciate his sense of fashion? “It is good to see you Olena.” he greeted her. He was about to suggest that they leave the blonde woman alone. He hated those men that knew they were distressing women and stuck around anyways.<br/><br/>"I’m going on the Ferris Wheel. In fact, we can all go on the Ferris Wheel." she gestured with her chin to the glowing metallic ring that was taller than the castle. Was this some sort of test they all had to endure in order to bond? “You ride in the metal boxes, until you go all around the wheel. It’s fun. Let’s have fun. Even Dragon Slayers like to have fun, right?” So she knew about Dragon Slayers? Hmm...A Ferrous Wheel...interesting. Perhaps they had a wooden or a stained glass wheel? That would look pretty in the sunrise.<br/><br/><em>Oh, you stay inside the boxes...interesting.</em>"Fun. Yes. I was thinking that we would be jumping from box to box as it spun around. But sitting in the metal boxes could be fun too. It would give us a chance to speak in any case." He was still thinking he wanted to try it again, his way. It would get the heart going as he slid down the metallic structure and landing on the boxes. On the way would be challenging, but he felt that he would rise to that when the challenge presented itself.<br/><br/>“I’m Reese Wilder and… well, I guess we’ll talk more about roommate etiquette once we're on the Ferris Wheel.” He inclined his head to Reese. “It is a pleasure to meet you Reese Wilder.” Did she just say ‘roommate’? My the women were forward on this plane of existence. Dekado wasn’t vain. He had not pursued relationships since he was always on the front line for the vast majority of his life. He deduced that she meant this in the spirit of friendship and hospitality. That was kind of her.<br/><br/>And then she turned and left. Well, she did say they were going to ride this ‘Ferrous wheel’. Well he could certainly appreciate her dedication. She said something and then she did it. “It’s fun, promise. Yo! Three please!” Dekado nodded to Reese. “I believe you.” he said. He had met people on suicide missions. She did not exhibit these symptoms. She easily overcame the attendants objections. Although he did receive a bit of information he didn’t know about before. There was a curfew that they were uncomfortably close to breaking. Reese didn’t seem worried and it would be easy enough to evade anyone should a conflict become immanent.<br/><br/>“Come on!” she waved and the trim running along her arms billowed out like a bird about to take flight. “Shall we?” he gestured to Olena to enter first. He was always mindful of his manners when not battling dragons, besides they could decide upon the seating arrangements this way. Once they were all inside the metallic container and settled he had to ask. “You mentioned roommate etiquette. Are we to be living together?” he enquired.<br/><br/>“How about I go first since I only have a few rules?” he suggested. “If you’re going to take the last of something, at least offer to share.” He had lived together in bunks with other soldiers. That was a military setting though so translating that to civilian life was different. “If I do or say something that bothers you, I’m not doing it on purpose. Just mention it so we can discuss it….and…oh, I sleep naked. If you’re cold and need to cuddle, just wake me up first before slipping into bed.” That was pretty much it, he was fairly easy going.
