Eighth Mercy - Video

[returnsmagic]

[ It has been a long time, Siren's Port. Well, not long in dragon terms - a month in jail is like spending a day in jail for everyone else. But Aurican has learned to be sensitive to the issue of time, especially in a delicate place such as this.

Aurican is on the beach again, half submerged in the ocean. His NV seems to be hovering above his massive horned head, showing his strange, fish-like wings folded and partially submerged underwater. ]

All said and done, the jail cell I've occupied for the past month could have been worse. I was sentenced far longer than a month, but I was let go on good behavior.

Which shouldn't be surprising, as gold dragons such as myself tend to keep up with manners. Most of the time, anyway. [ Because if it was all the time, he wouldn't have been in jail in the first place. ]

I hope I still have my occupation. I do miss playing the harp.

Televisions can be accessed occasionally in jail. It doesn't take long for the gossip mill to have people realize there is a dragon in their ranks.

[momchester]

Were they afraid of you?

[returnsmagic]

Judging by the death threats, it is a safe assumption that they did.

[momchester]

[Ugh.]

Did you get in any fights?

[returnsmagic]

I wouldn't be out so early for good behavior if I did.

[ he's amused, ngl. ]

[momchester]

Maybe if you didn't start anything.

[She relaxes once she sees that he's amused by it, though.]

What will you do now that you're out?

[returnsmagic]

Oh, I think I go back to my job. Return to the House. Maybe make a separate lair, who knows.

[momchester]

The House is gone.

[returnsmagic]

Ah. It appears I am homeless, then.

[momchester]

Well- the house itself is still here, but the person- the AI is gone.

[returnsmagic]

That is something to consider.

[ It won't be the same. ]

[momchester]

What about lairs? Is there any kind of cave by the cliffs that might work?

[returnsmagic]

There are many caves around the island. I'm sure there is one big enough for me.

The thing is I rather take up a residence within the city. It is more practical.

[momchester]

Hm. There might be some empty warehouses you could rent that are big enough for you.

[returnsmagic]

Perhaps. A thing of such size and magnitude will require a lot of money, which I don't have. [ He's the poorest dragon ever, his kin-dragons would be ashamed. ]

[momchester]

Hm, that's true.

I think you could make good money doing security work.
