Action/Video

[There was a lot of down time in the life of a dragon, especially one as old as Alexstrasza. However, she did not anticipate waking up in a pod 5 sizes too small for even her humanoid form after taking a nap in her lair. Once she managed to contort herself out of the pod, and got her horns unstuck, she sighed and stretched before taking note of the objects stuffed into the pod with her. She flipped through the pamphlet quickly before turning her attention to the phone.]

[It was about noon when the dragon queen emerged from the bay and began wandering aimlessly, seemingly oblivious to the fact that she towered over the civilians milling about. ...Or that she was holding up traffic as she walked on the side of the road. Her interest was very much fixed on the phone. She tapped at the surface and examined it with curiosity as she walked, unaware that she had started recording herself.]

[Video]

What a curious little contraption. I've seen nothing quite like its kind in all my years... It's certainly not goblin made, and it hasn't threatened exploding so I doubt it's gnomish. Perhaps it's a relic of the Kirin Tor?

[There's a pause as she smiles lovingly at the device.] I will have to bring this back with me when I return to Azeroth. I'm sure Krassus would love to examine this. It will be a nice change of pace from his worries in Northrend.

[Gale had been on his way to Hangar Queen alongside his Mareep, both dressed in their respective uniforms for it, and he was flipping through his phone to find anything of interest. He'd come to the message from the newcomer and thinks about saying something, but then he looks up.

And sees her very clearly not too far down the street.

And now he's staring.

If she's that tall from all the way back here...

Okay he's intimidated, but that makes him all the more interested at the same time. He speed up his walk a bit to catch him, Mareep bouncing behind him, and he piped up.]

Haven't heard of any incidents of the devices exploding, but it's probably worth sayin' that this little thing's got nothin' to do with the place you came from.

[He pauses a bit. Sorry, he keeps staring, but then even he gives a sheepish grin and shows his phone's screen to her.]

Ah, hi, sorry. You were broadcastin' to everyone's devices.

[Alexstrasza cocks her head slightly as she turns to see who was addressing her. Upon spotting Gale, she smiles down at him with a rather maternal aura radiating out from her.]

Am I? [She grins, glancing back at the device.] Fascinating. There's definitely nothing like this on Azeroth, you're right.

Thank you for telling me. Who might you be?

[And here's a very young, very small dragon glancing into her device with wide eyes. This person doesn't appear human, and doesn't look like any other beast she's seen either.]

Ah...I don't think it's a relic of...Kirin Tor. It's probably just a relic of Genessia...if it can be called a relic...

[She's certainly never thought of it as one...]

[Wow, she isn't nearly as intimidating and scary as he thought she might be. That was kind of a relief, so he could relax a little.]

Sure thing. Name's Gale Reinhardt, and this is my buddy Mareep. [He points down at the little uniformed sheep, who lets out a 'Maaa!'] Nice to meet ya. You just come from the Bay, I'm guessin'?

[A "how's the weather up there" joke crossed his mind, but he should probably keep that to himself until he knows he won't get launched across the city via backhand from this woman.]

[She chuckles softly, bending down slightly so she's not quite as imposing looking. ...Though that probably only makes her more imposing looking...]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Gale Reinhardt, and you as well Mareep. I am Alexstrasza, Queen of the Red Dragon Flight of Azeroth.

I've only been here for a few minutes, yes. Are the quarters always so cramped in that place?

[She chuckles a bit.]

Well, whatever it is, Krassus will want to study it.

Well...I don't know who Krassus is...or even if we can take these devices home with us. We don't even know how to get home of our own will.

[She taps her talons together nervously.]

So...are you another new arrival? I haven't seen you before...

Kras - ahem - Korialstrasz is my favored consort, and archmage of the Kirin Tor, at times I have to wonder if he doesn't have a little blue in him.

I am. I have only been here a few minutes that I'm aware of.

"Korial...straszzz...?" [Yikes, that name is a mouthful.] And what is a "little blue?"

I've been here for...a little over a year. Are you looking to explore this world? Or will you try to find a way back?

If you think the datapad they've given us is special - you should really check out Nova City.

[ Have a friendly smile, just a touch sheepish as he added: ]

But I don't think we'll be able to take anything back with us, from what I understand.

[ Dorothy had been wandering about various cities after her shit at the Inn, as she usually did. The sights and people of Genessia were becoming quite familiar to her.

Well. Most of them were. Short robot girl, meet a giant dragon lady.

She observed her for a short while, before approaching, craning her neck upward to attempt eye contact. ]

... Pardon me.

Are you aware you are recording yourself?

[ So many accidental videos. Early recognition might help prevention, perhaps. ]

It probably wouldn't take very long for the giant dragon lady to notice the teeny green spirit flitting about behind her head and occasionally dipping into the corners of her vision.

She at least didn't seem at all hostile... Though she was now gently tapping the dragon's shoulder.

"Hello? Miss? Can you see me? Can you hear me? Helloooo."

Oh I fully intend to explore my surroundings. It wouldn't do for me to get lost.

[She chuckles.]

Maybe. But never underestimate the determination of a dragon.

Y-yeah, that's what I did pretty soon after getting here. I was too eager to explore, I never bothered to get my bearings.

[ That's his story and he's being consistent with it.

Looks curious: ]

Another dragon? You look a bit different than the one I've met before.

But I'm being rude, forgive me. My name is Takumi Terasu. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Dorothy gets a warm smile in return as she swipes a finger across the screen as if that was supposed to end whatever recording she was doing. Of course in actuality it only made the microphone more sensitive.]

I wasn't until just a while ago. A man was named Gale was kind enough to tell me.

[She cocks her head a bit. Being the Aspect of Life, she was keenly attuned to the aura of all life, and when someone addressed her without an aura, she was very curious.]

I don't mean to be rude, but, what exactly are you?

It took the woman a moment or two, but she did turn her head to smile at Koishi. It was hard to tell if she was just distracted by her device or if she didn't notice the small youkai at first.

"I can indeed, little one. Can I help you?"

He's a red dragon, like myself. And while all dragons of Azeroth are gifted with magic ability, the blue flight were empowered and tasked with the governance of magic itself. Krasus rivals many blue dragons with his ability.

[She speaks with more than a little pride in her favored consort.]

I would like to return home, of course, but I'm in no great rush. The most pressing threat to our world has been dealt with, and if I am needed, I'm sure Nozdormu would have little trouble finding me.

[She chuckles. Mortals were so cute when they were curious.]

That's quite alright. It is an honor to meet you, Takumi Terasu. I am Alexsztrasza, Queen of the Red Dragon Flight of Azeroth.

Koishi paused, staring at the woman for a long moment, the artery over her left shoulder slowly looping itself into a heart. She tilted her head.

"You have really pretty horns. And really interesting eyebrows. Your face really suits you, Miss. I like it."

That gets a soft chuckle from the dragonqueen.

"And you, my dear, have eyes as brilliant as any emerald I've seen."

[ That's right, a perfectly normal, curious, harmless mortal. ]

That's quite the title, your majesty.

[ Seems a bit bashful. ]

You're adjusting to being brought here rather well.

[She shakes her head slightly, the jewelry on her horns jingling softly as she does.]

I'm a queen without a kingdom here. There is no need for formalities.

[She chuckles softly.]

I may not look it by mortal standards, but I'm a very old dragon. The eldest Red Dragon. Over thousands of years, I've seen three separate invasions from realms beyond the world I was tasked with guarding. This is far from the strangest thing I have been a part of.

[ Observing her actions, Dorothy noted, calmly: ]

There is a small square in the bottom center of the screen, colored red, with a white square. Tap once on that.

[ It doesn't look like she's bothered by the question. Or, really, that she's reacting much at all. Beyond what the dragon can sense, Dorothy also doesn't blink, or breathe.

Despite these obvious tells, she's the first to figure out Dorothy wasn't human so quickly. ]

I am an android.

[ And then waits. She doesn't want to assume this woman doesn't know what she is - but she thinks it's a safe guess, and is prepared for the question. ]

And that just made Koishi's eyes brighter.

"They're green!" Obviously. "I really like green. But I like pink too! And red! And you're both pink and red. And that means I like you!"

And there was the hug. With more than a few nuzzles. It didn't last too long though. Satsuki had managed to train her out of clinging.

"My name is Koishi Komeiji. I'm a satori youkai. But you don't have to be scared of me because I can't read minds anymore."

All right, then.

[ Takumi grins, as if in relief. ]

You've seen stranger?

[ He looks significantly impressed by her age verses her appearance - and in reality, he is. But then again, she isn't human, so it didn't surprise him. Leaning into the camera, curious: ]

Any stories you'd mind sharing?
