36; opera stars; who let a dragon in here; not going soft shut up

[sandinmyboots]

[Kefka and Kasumi seem to be at a play. A rather fancy play, with singing and fabulous costumes, and it is being held in one fancy opera house - it's got gold, silver, red velvet curtains, the works. Kefka's as incognito as he can get, in pale blue make up and frilly, bright blue clothing; Kasumi sits beside him in a pink kimono.]

[The play is interrupted when a dragon waltzes onstage and starts roaring. (Dragon, T-Rex, same difference.) The actors flee; so does part of the audience. Another part, though, is taking this as part of the show; this includes Kefka, who is still munching on his popcorn like nothing's gone wrong. Kasumi, meanwhile, is leaning away from the stage with wide eyes. She leans over and asks Kefka:]

Are we really not going to do anything about this?

[Kefka shrugs.] Nah, the dragons can do what they want. They don't listen to me. Besides, it's not like she's hurting anyone.

If you are sure. [She keeps on staring; the dragon is stomping around onstage now. Kefka adds:]

The elemental dragons are not under my command, anyway. They obey Kaiser Dragon, who is - I don't know where she is. Sleeping or something. Who knows.

Shouldn't we be on our way, then...? Or are they a danger to those who flee?

Nah, we're fine. We can just walk out. Earth Dragon just wants to perform on stage like a real opera star. Poison Dragon, who moved into my tower, told me all about it.

[Kasumi perks up.]

She is doing an interesting performance, isn't she?

She is, yeah! This is the best show I've seen in years! Hee hee hee...

[Kefka passes the popcorn.]

.. Those things don't sound nearly as cool as dragons though! I mean.. just think of it, could birds ever be as badass as dragons?

[heavenlyhome]

I don't know about 'cool', but the birds are very big and very cute. I was able to pet one!

I suppose you might be more interested in the monsters?

[selfished]

I dunno, monsters sound pretty annoying, like they're stuff you're s'posed to fight or something.. I just like cool things, not cute ones!

[heavenlyhome]

Kefka-kun has often described monsters as a nuisance, but I think there are many cool ones among them. Like wyvers, I think they're called? They are like smaller dragons. Or, oh, there are special sorts of bats and snakes and such that are different colors and can preform magic spells.

[selfished]

.. woah, they can use magic? I never heard of animals that could do that stuff!

[heavenlyhome]

This place is very special.

[selfished]

There's probably something special 'bout every world in this place though.

[heavenlyhome]

Most certainly! In my world, there exists a certain type of spring that can transform a person into other things. I am sure there is something just as neat about your world, isn't there?

[selfished]

Oh, there sure is. [ she doesn't bother mentioning what, though. ] I don't mind living in my world at all, even though I wouldn't mind living in some of the cooler ones here on the community either.

[heavenlyhome]

Of course. I'm sure you will have the chance to visit one some day. Soon, I hope. You would like to meet a dragon, I think, wouldn't you? Or explore a very exciting place?

[selfished]

Hell yeah, I'd love to meet a dragon! Just imagine riding one of those across the sky or something like that, isn't it the most badass thing ever?! [ she's just an excited little kid, really.. ]

[heavenlyhome]

It would be very nice. Then, flying itself is very fun.
