Entry 001 [Visual/Action]

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[Anyone looking at the visual feed on the scroll will get an interesting view... That of a large dragon's nose, foot, tail... whatever it is that he can use to try and open the scroll with and get a good look at it.]

Hmmm... there has got to be some way to get this open without shredding it...

[Anyone coming across him on foot er, hoof, will get an even odder sight. A thirty foot long, white and red dragon with blue horns, trying to figure out how to open a scroll without turning it into confetti...]

A communications device perhaps? [He gets a better look at the scroll, but might get a little too close. Hope anyone watching likes that extreme closeup image of a bright blue eye staring out at them.]

I wonder if this has anything to do with my change of composition? [He'd just started to get used to the fact that he was dragon shaped after crashing on Earth... Waking up in another place with the same appearance, but yet a fully organic body... He really was not looking forward to relearning his own body again... As much as he liked science and learning new things, he really wished at times...]

I would not bother me very much, but I cannot speak for all the residents. Perhaps you may work your way to the outskirts of town, where there is more room and less chance of incurring property damage charges.

[She points a hoof in the direction towards the nearest end of Ponyville.]

The roads are mostly dirt, so inadvertently clawing them would not cause any trouble.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[He gives her a small, but obviously grateful smile.]

Thank you. I don't want to make anyone angry with me for ruining their property... The last time I was near a town... it... didn't go so well. [His voice was rather sheepish sounding as he admitted that.]

[Skyfire didn't want to bother her for any longer than he already had, but he wouldn't complain if she wanted to remain and talk longer. He had to get that scroll rolled back up though... that was going to take some trial and error now that he was missing a lot of his sensors.]

[weekwizard]

You will have to get used to it. This town seems to be the epicenter of many events that involve those of us from off-world, whether we want to be or not.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[He nodded as he managed to get control of his front claws long enough to roll up the scroll and put it away in one of the leather bags under his wings.]

As long as I am welcome, I have no problems coming to it... It seems that here at least I'll not be shot at for trying to talk to someone or attempting to visit a town.

[Seems like someone has had a rather rough time of it before arriving here.]

[weekwizard]

...You have been shot at before for entering a town?

[She probably shouldn't be surprised, but still.]

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Yes, unfortunately.

[He sighs]

My size and shape seemed to cause a lot of issues. It's been a long time since anyone has come up to me without being afraid of me. [That smile on his face? It's one of gratitude for treating him like he was normal, not a monster.]

[weekwizard]

[Dealing casually with 'monsters' and the like is... pretty normal for Patchy, really.]

Perhaps, then, you are trying to consort with the wrong company.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[He shakes his head and chuckles rather sadly.]

Perhaps... but even the wrong company can be better than no company at all. [He had a choice of humans or animals, and animals weren't really conversationalists back on 'his' earth...]

[weekwizard]

Can be. Such has not been the case, in my experience.

[Of course, she's a recluse by nature so there may be a bit of a bias there.]

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

If you ever live to be as old as I am, you'll find it to be true soon enough.

[He was older than humanity and most of the life on Earth after all.]

[weekwizard]

Maybe, maybe not. Such views can vary by species, after all. ...Regardless of current form, of course.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

True... Perhaps I'm becoming a bit jaded...

[weekwizard]

It is rather difficult not to, after seeing and experiencing no doubt many different things. Very common, where I come from.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[Skyfire nodded and then sighed as he looked around.]

I suppose I should get going... I need to find somewhere to sleep yet tonight.

[weekwizard]

There are plenty of prospective places immediately outside town, depending on your preferences. The fields to the southwest, the forest to the southeast, or any of the various mountain ranges you can see from here.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[He chuckles softly.]

Yes, there are lots of potential places... but I still have to find one. I'm not exactly small.

[He gets up slowly and stretches a little, careful not to hit anything and doubly careful not to hit her.]

[weekwizard]

I would suggest going to the fields and practicing flying for the afternoon, in that case. It would allow you to search a wider area.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

I believe that will likely have to wait until I have better control over my body... [He chuckles and tries to joke a little...] Crashing and inflicting damage is not really on my to do list for today. [Clearly his sense of humor needs work.]
