[ Considering how chatty Clover usually is, and how she isn't shy about showing her face on the network, the briefness of her message seems utterly out of character: ]

What's it like, not being human?

Growing up with it, I mean -- being a different species or having powers even before you came here.

[ Also out of character is the unusual effort she makes to keep the text legible and correct -- as anyone who's been subjected to her haphazard keypad-smushing and emoticon spam can attest to. ]

Awesome.

[ That startles a laugh out of her, not that Dash can see it. ]

What do you like best about it?

[littlepwny]

Everything! But, I guess... being able to fly is the coolest part!

[quadrifoliate]

I guess it would be pretty cool if I could fly.

How high can you go?

[returnsmagic]

That depends on the dragon.

[littlepwny]

Really, super high. Higher than the clouds and the birds!

[quadrifoliate]

What do you mean?

[quadrifoliate]

Can you fly that high here, too? Doesn't the Pull get in the way?

A silver dragon takes joy in flight, a red dragon takes pleasure in carnage. Bronze dragons enjoy the sea while brass dragons need a another friend to talk to as much as he needs water.

Each is different and enjoy their own nature. Your question is more like "What is like, being an individual?" for I know nothing else.

I think it's pretty cool. [Most of the time. That whole thing with Luthor controlling him wasn't but he's not going to talk about that to someone he doesn't know.] There was one time where I lost my powers for a little bit so I know what it's like to be a normal human. Wasn't very fun for me because I wasn't used to not having them.

[quadrifoliate]

Wow, I didn't know there were so many kinds of dragons. [ Honestly, she's a little impressed; to go from hardly knowing dragons were real to knowing there were all kinds of them is a big jump to make.

Unseen, she leans in to squint at the screen. ]

You haven't said which kind of dragon you are, though.

Why should it be any different from what you would consider 'normal' yourself?

[quadrifoliate]

Losing your powers must have been really weird.

[ She tries to imagine it, but she can't, really. ]

What would you say the biggest difference is?

[returnsmagic]

I am a gold dragon. I breathe fire and create magic spells, and I can fly as high as the Pull allows me too. I am a scholar, a parent, a brother, a historian, a magician. I have spent years, centuries even, walking in the form of a two-legs such as yourself, and I learned how talented hands can be.

Because all people are different!

Seriously, though... I think it depends.

[quadrifoliate]

Is it fun?

[returnsmagic]

[ Fun? What is fun? ]

I am happy for what I am.

But one's sense of normalcy stems from one's own life experiences; thus the individual baseline is created. People are likely to assume their own circumstances 'normal,' unless they have been given cause to believe otherwise.

You never wished you were something else?

[quadrifoliate]

What about you?

[soldierfirst]

I have always known that I was different.

[quadrifoliate]

Do you wish you weren't?

[kryptonianclone]

Between having powers and not having them? For me, I felt weaker... in more ways than one.

[returnsmagic]

No, never.

It would not change anything, so there is little sense in it.
