Day 196 // Open

Who: Paarthurnax and folks
Open: Open
When: 196, in the evening
Where: By the river
What: Amongst the things from a land of mountains and frost: a pair of gloves meant for more than thieves. A creation of metal and steam and other things from a race that didn't need the Calamity to do themselves in. Glowing plants that chime.
Format: any
Warnings: Grampadragon is harmless (usually). No guarantees for the rest of the losers in the Bastion.


In the absence of the group that head to Sky Haven Temple, the Bastion has brought something to fruition for Paarthurnax. In the evening as the dragon returns, he circles about before landing by the riverside to inspect his new prizes.

The most notable is an enormous construct which shines in the light of the dimming sun. It almost seems to breathe in and out, but that's just the puff of steam which exit from it- a sign it's active if nothing else although it doesn't seem to move. Draped across one of its arms are a set of gloves, a dark contrast against the brilliant metal.

The last of his acquisitions would be the plants which now are growing along the river's edge and amongst the shore of the lake. It's harder to tell in the daytime, but as it grows darker, one can see the pale green glow they give off. It's one constant, however, is the faint chiming noise that becomes readily apparent to any who are near to it.

Paarthurnax seems pleased with it all, inspecting the Centurion carefully and brushing his nose against the plants.

[Hermaeus Mora is pretty much always a bad time. And he sounds like he's full of snot. Tobias tilts his head a bit. His 'voice' is amused as he responds.]

<Vahzen. Ful nii los.>

<You're not exactly quiet.>

[He can't help it. He laughs a little in thought-speech.]

<I have a lot of free time here, now that I'm not scouting for missions.>

"Leave it to an engineer to leave poor documentation," Colin says in amusement. "I'll see what I can figure out for your curiosity. For now, let's leave it here. My workshop is rather crowded with stuff."

He and AZ had brought back quite a bit of salvage from the Corsican camp, and he was STILL sorting through it all.

Zuko moves a little farther from the Centurion then and settles herself down cross-legged in front of Paarthurnax. She frowns thoughtfully at his question, but unlike demons, at least she's heard of gods.

"My people didn't believe in any. There were the spirits; I guess some of them were thought of like gods."

<I figured. But I have good hearing, too.>

[He thinks about that for a moment, turning an idea over in his head.]

<Actually... I wonder about that. Since you're not from the same universe - I think - I don't know if I could turn into you.>

[Do dragons have DNA? ... More thoughts he never thought he'd think.]

[The person who wanders up to Paarthurnax is kind of not a person, at least not in the usual sense. It's Eevee, who bounds through the grass towards him, Floette following behind. The younger one stops as she gets close, jumping up to try to paw at Paarthurnax's snout.]

[ Zorua saw her sister leaving with Floette and she just HAD to follow her for an adventure! She's running so fast after Eevee that she can't seem to stop herself, though.

So, in her attempt to stop before reaching Eevee, Zorua trips over her own feet and rolls.

And.

Well.

Crashes right into the back of her sister. Oops. ]

A large humanoid machine... such a thing has not existed anywhere where I have lived.

Oh. Well... if they left behind nothing else, they certainly left quite the indelible mark on their world. At least, for as long as it lasted.

Anything reasonably unique that one might wish to study is guaranteed to be of value. I can only imagine how valuable the collection of books I had access to home was. I have reason to believe many of them were one-of-a-kind, and even if they weren't, they were so old and well-preserved that they may as well have been.

... so many worlds must have been destroyed without there even being so much as a trace of a memory of them left.

Ryu smiles, glancing over to Paarthunax. "Hi honaht ful zokah. I bet they'll be ecstatic to see the set complete." He says, careful in his pronunciation of the dragon's language. He pauses for a moment, mulling over their lessons before remembering the words to what he wants to say next. If nothing else, it seems to make Paar happy to use his language and hear it spoken in kind.

"Hi dreh ni fon wah laan fah naan, Paarthunax." He says after a moment. Unlike speaking in his common tongue, his skill with the new language requires him to slow down and be a bit more deliberate in his speech, but he's coming along nicely for a kid with little formal education. "I feel like you should also get something in kind. Your language may not be that of the Brood, but it feels like we have some kinship all the same."

Those are a lot of abstract things to have gods for, things Zuko normally considers to be the inventions of people. There isn't much in that list to do with the elements or the natural world except for that Kynareth. But she doesn't give this too much thought, because most of them don't seem important to Paarthurnax's story, and anyway she never gave the spirits that much thought either.

"Wait. All dragons, including you?" Somehow it doesn't sound like he's talking about ancestors.

"It's definitely not much like the dragons I know." Even dragons from other worlds, like Skysong, seem to have parents.

"...how old does that make you?"

"That's... a long time." Zuko knows there were still older beings in her world, but they were either spirits or legends, neither of which you sit down and chat with in a field.

"I can't imagine how much you've seen change."
