WAKING UP!

[twin-fans.livejournal.com]

Your character is in a nice, warm bed, wearing their bedclothes (or lack thereof) of choice. It's comfortable, it's fluffy, and it's great...

Unfortunately, someone's in bed with them. They might roll over and accidentally cop a feel before waking up fully, they might notice the heat on their backs, but whatever the case may be, there's someone in there with them. They could easily remember the night before, how that happened, but...

Where's the fun in that?

[There it is.

....

Hold up.]

Do I know you?

[That voice is oddly familiar.]

[f-u-im-a-human.livejournal.com]

"...Sort of." [She replies a little shame-facedly. Hisk flicks her tail, dislodging the sheet. Haha, victory! But anyway. Talking. The talking thing.]

[Have a slightly apologetic smile]

"Hisk Longwing. Known t' most as Hannah Carpenter, at yer service."

[governorkang]

[Stare.]

Hannah? You're a dragon?

[f-u-im-a-human.livejournal.com]

"Well, yes. I am."

[Okay, wings folding. She's still kinda freaked, but calming down.]

"...And considering that I was still playin' human yesterday..."

[Oh jeeze, what happened yesterday?]

[governorkang]

...why are you pretending to be human?

[...oh, right. That. He kind of forgot with the whole finding out Hannah is a bloody dragon thing.]

Nothing happened. I'm not... I'm not attracted to humans, and I would not do such a thing to my mate!

"'S just easier that way. An', no offense, yeh're a bit bipedal for my tastes yerself." [And Kang's horns are far from an ideal shape, but she's being tactful.]

"I know I oughtta remember. Shifting hurts like hell."

[governorkang]

[Tact is good. And he is definitely not offended. If anything, he's relieved.]

You don't remember anything either?

[f-u-im-a-human.livejournal.com]

"No, 'm afraid. Fairly sure I'm not 'ungover..." [She looks around the room, seemingly not overly bothered by this mysterious development. She's hunting for something.]

"Hnn. I don' suppose my pack's-"

[She spots it sitting in a corner] "Ah. There." [She pauses for a second to remember exactly how having four legs works, takes a step to test, then moves to pick it up by sticking her head through the straps and throwing her head back so it slides down her neck.]

[governorkang]

I'm not hungover, either. What the hell is going on?

[Armor = get.]

...you haven't been in that form for quite some time, have you?

[f-u-im-a-human.livejournal.com]

"Nah. 'S been a bit more'n a year, I think. If anybody s'much as suggests I try t' fly..."

[She shakes her head a bit]

"...Anyway. I don't know what's happened or in which hell. An' considerin' it'll be a while 'afore I work up the grit t' shift back, now might be a good opportunity t' test if I'm still as intimidating as I remember."

[governorkang]

[He smiles wryly, strapping on his sword.]

At least you can fly. And, you're a dragon, even if you are the smallest one I've ever seen. Most of the people here are startled when they see me, and I'm half your size.

[f-u-im-a-human.livejournal.com]

"Heh. 'S true." [She nods, an exaggerated movement due to having a much longer neck than she's become accustomed to. Then a pause.]

"Ehm, my 'pologies for whatever this was. Once I figure out what it was. 'Cause someone's bound t' know and I've never met a man that'll not tell me something once I've roared in 'is face."

[Actually she has, but she finds this a more elegant way of putting it.]

[governorkang]

Believe me, I intend to bash as many heads in as I need to, to find out what the hell is going on here.

[Pause.]

...and if you don't want anyone else to know about you, I won't say a word.

[f-u-im-a-human.livejournal.com]

[Hisk picks her way over toward the door, getting the hang of this again and managing to negotiate a space that's smaller than is comfortable.]

"Well, honestly, I think I might be alright. Considering they 'aven't run you off with spears and torches. Tha's why I started bein' human to begin with, way back when."

[governorkang]

[He snorts, amused.]

That's one benefit of this place. No one hates me for being a draconian.
