Day 300 - Symphony of the Night

Who: Alucard and you.
Open: Open!
When: exceedingly early on day 300
Where: Around the inconvenient hills.
What: Naturally, vampires practice with new forms at night
Format: Good for whatever
Warnings: ???




It's late. Late enough that all reasonable non-nocturnal people should be asleep. If one is nocturnal (or at least suffering insomnia) and decides to wander out toward the inconvenient hills, perhaps they will hear the sound of large wings disturbing the otherwise peaceful night air. Perhaps one could even catch sight of the one making the sounds.

Although it looks rather like a dragon, it is not Paarthurnax; it's smaller, and perhaps more classically demonic than lizard-like. Those familiar with certain European statuary may be reminded of the gargoyles that adorn some older buildings. That it is in the Bastion suggests that it's not a threat at least. Perhaps someone new showed up in the middle of the night, or perhaps someone decided to add to the strange menagerie the place had become.

One might also note that it appears a bit awkward, as if it doesn't quite have the hang of flight yet.

Investigate?

"... I don't really fly very well, but I can try to give you some tips? I don't know if they'd work for you, though... my wings kind of just work without me thinking about it."

What little bit of wings he has like this, at least...

"Okay, so... the first thing you have to do is practice balancing with them. Just test them out, figure out how to move them while you're on the ground. Make sure that you know what you're doing before you even try to take off."

He looks at the dhampir's wings carefully. They're big, and... probably not the same kind of thin wings he has in his full form. "Do you know if you can glide with those, or is it more flapping?"

"Okay, I thought so. I mostly have to flap when I'm in my full form. I can only kind of... hover like this." And it's mostly because of magic, and he doesn't understand the mechanics...

"Can you try flapping them and staying on the ground? That's... what I'd try first..."

"Ah? What do you mean?"

They're pretty straightforward to him, but he just hovers while he looks over at Alucard. Maybe it doesn't make sense to other people... which he can't really blame them for. Endless are weird.

"Oh. ... Well, this is my hybrid form. Right now I'm using my hybrid Aura form. I've... Nina told me that I've used my full Aura form before, but I don't know how. She saw it right before I woke up in the desert. I can only use it when I use my breath attack."

He pauses before going on. "I can also probably use my Kaiser form as a hybrid form... but I've never managed it. I always end up using my full form for that... and I can't control it at all."
