Er...

[There's a bit of fussing with the scrolls before it actually goes to show who's actually using it...and when it does, what everyone sees is a sleek emerald dragon in a thick wool cloak and tricorn hat.

A very nice tricorn hat.]

I ah, think I've got it. There's no shortage of questions that I have concerning where I am and why I'm suddenly a mount worthy of Her Majesty's Thirteenth, but honestly? I'm sure any answer I get will only raise further questions.

[There's a very pained, puzzled sigh from her before she tips her hat to a presumed audience, in some flustered, vague attempt at courtesy.]

I only want to know whether anyone has seen any walkers about--or Risen, whatever you want to call them. The laws of my world have...likely been abandoned, for now, but I need to be sure.

And gods, if they are here, don't come close to one if you see it! [There's a hint of panic in her voice now, but she's still fairly controlled.] Use guns, or pitchforks, or fire if you must, but know that their embrace means death if you're daft enough to let one touch you.

[Okay, okay. Calm down, Kaj...]

I'll be looking for a place a twenty-foot wyvern could possibly stay in this village, if any of you happen to be about. I should like to find one by the morrow, but this is far from the worst that's happened to me.

You will find there are plenty of other things to worry about here, if not physical threats then emotional and mental ones.

[downstairslife]

So all in all, not much has changed.

Wonderful.

I'm not even sure why whatever powers that be chose to make me a...well, I suppose wyverns don't have arms, but it's a cruel trick if there ever was one.

[Sorry, Patchy, but her world doesn't have straight up dragons. Wyverns, yes, sea serpents, yes, cute little fire-breathing mini-lizards, yes, but no dragons.]

[weekwizard]

The proper term is "dragon". Four legs instead of the two wyverns possess.

Regardless, you got off rather easy. Most of us that get taken here are turned into ponies, instead.

[downstairslife]

I don't think I would've minded that much.

[She has complicated feelings about draconic things, okay.]

[weekwizard]

Hm. Not a fan of dragons, I take it? I would have welcomed being one.

[downstairslife]

My father's mount was ever the ornery old brim, though he loved her like a daughter. Had I any power to trade you I could wear the mane and saddle, and you the scales.

Although I would like to keep this hat.

[It is a freakin' sweet tricorn hat.]

[weekwizard]

Fair enough. That sort of hat is not my usual preference, but I can appreciate the style.

[After all, headgear in Gensokyo is kind of a big thing.]
