It's hard to believe it's time for another Guardian election already. Needless to say, I'm sitting this one out. I still have doubts that the position is right for me.

[That, and he knows he can't win so long as Mavis is running. Not that he'd want to compete against her for the position in any case.]

It's hard not to feel that way, when I have the increased feeling that I don't belong in this world at all. Even among Fayren's Deputy team, I'm the odd one out.

[A giant dragon among a Guardian and a group of deputies who are or appear to be human, but also all happen to be women.]

Let me tell you...being as large as I am presents its own set of problem. Liora is small enough to mingle with humankind. Alexstraza has the ability to shift into a smaller form, which allows her to blend in better.

But in spite of all of that, I wouldn't wish to be anything else. Fascinating, is it not? That no matter how much you wish to be something else, you're ultimately satisfied with what you are.

[He pauses for a moment before moving on to the next thing that's bugging him.]

In regards to the election, I think there should be some kind of screening process before becoming eligible. Honestly, a dragon-hunting wartoad who favors "explosion and murder" above anything else should not be allowed to run.

He's a work in progress.

[She figures she is trying in her own way at least.]

[kalmaleader]

Tell me about it.

[He can't imagine what kind of "work" he's doing or going through.]

[ivegotadream]

I get the feeling the way he handles things is... vastly different from our own. But I like to think he is at least trying to do the right thing, even if he goes the wrong way about it.

[She had to stop him from trying to attempt to kill the paperboy of all things because she got hit with a newspaper. She gets that was probably his way of being nice, just not reacting in the right way.]

If you want to be friends with people, size doesn't matter. Everyone's hearts are the same size, after all.

[She has a feeling she knows who he's referring to in the second concern:]

And regarding Katsuki-san... I'm very sorry about what happened. The dragon is okay, though... and I feel like Katsuki-san learned a lot.

[kalmaleader]

Perhaps. However, humans use a lot of gatherings to bond with each other, and I can't even attend the majority of them because I can't fit inside their buildings.

[Seems like a silly reason, but what can he do about it?]

[As for the bit about Katsuki?]

Oh, has he now? He's already challenging me, so I highly doubt it.

[But he will learn by the time Qubine is through with him. Or not. Oh well.]

I think we all have our problems, not feeling like we can find our places. But that's when we can use what we are good at to figure out what to do.

I mean at the beginning I didn't feel like I belonged and was only here because I could go home. But I figured things out as I go and now I'm doing more than I could imagine.

[kalmaleader]

That's what I have been doing...or so I believed. My primary concern is survival. It's...hard sometimes.

[Hard to not let the animals go extinct, and just as hard not having to fight tons of beasts.]

It's even harder knowing that things are happening back home that demand our attention.

[hot_handed]

[He...barely remembers this dragon. It's not his dragon or Satou's, that's for sure. He cracks his neck, looking annoyed.]

All right Extra, I've got a lot of work to do so let's make this quick.

You wanna die? Let's fuckin' do this.

[Video]

[kalmaleader]

I won't be the one to die, but challenge accepted. I'll be in Fayren.

[First he'll stop by his subarchway to grab a few potions from Orphne, just in case. He's confident in his survival skills, but he's not going to underestimate his opponent. Hell, not underestimating an opponent is one of the most essential lessons to keep in mind. Then he'll wait in an open field in Fayren.]

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm hoping that Dante wins that election.

{ He's going to ignore Qubine's other comment about 'being satisfied with what you are.' There isn't a day that goes by where he wouldn't give anything - well, almost anything - to be free of this Curse. If it wasn't for Mavis and his Curse being comparatively much easier to control here than in his own world, he'd still be trying to find a way to break it, even if it would be completely meaningless in a world where he can't die permanently. }

He's done the impossible. He made Dante seem qualified by comparison.

[ video ]

[kalmaleader]

[He sighs...]

I'll admit I don't know Dante personally, but he already has my vote for not being the other guy.

[fairysoul]

Well, you already know my opinion on the matter... I think you'd make an excellent guardian. And 'odd'... Everyone's odd to someone. [Look at her: an immortal woman in the body of a teenager who walks barefoot everywhere she goes.]

But I respect your decision. And, at least, I hope I can still count on you as one of my deputies, right?

[Video]

[kalmaleader]

[Not that Qubine knows any of those details about her. He thinks she's just another normal human.]

I'll still remain a deputy. I'd feel even more lost otherwise.

[At least the deputy job gives him some purpose.]

[bigbadrose]

You could run in Everglade!

And there are ways to modify sizes to be more accomodating! If you became guardian you could even make that your first order of business, yeah?

[kalmaleader]

I've had some very negative experiences with the undead, so I'd rather not.

[That's all he'll say on that matter for the moment. Everglade is his least favorite city.]

Modify sizes? How would you suggest doing that?

[sleepingbagsensei]

[Hoboy.... here we go.]

Unbelievable, letting a kid get under your skin . Let me make this clear, the kid won't murder, he is challenging you. How you respond to his challenge is up to you and your responsibility. You accept the challenge, give it your all. No casualties.

If you think he's becoming an issue, contact me.

[In the meantime, he will head on over there to drag him if needed. Geeze.]

video.

[kalmaleader]

[Qubine has perfectly valid reasons for "letting the kid get under his skin," as this person puts it.]

Very well. He's becoming an issue. He's hunted the dragons of Fayren, and as a Deputy Guardian and a dragon myself, it's my responsibility to protect them.

And I highly doubt that the dragons will be the only ones in danger if he keeps this up.

[yoyoofdoom]

[Ack! Bridget is just staring...]

A dragon.... and it's talking?

[kalmaleader]

...Yes, I'm a talking dragon.

[Why is that so surprising?]

[crapton_of_luck]

[Lucky is on lunch break at the planetarium currently, and he is looking seriously annoyed at the mention of Bakugo.]

Considering how many times he's threatened to kill me, I don't blame you for thinking that about him.

[lilacwood]

(He is a dragon; a magical creature like herself. She is both drawn to him and repelled.)

You should not wish to be other than you are, Dragon. If that desire is fulfilled, you will be sad indeed.

[He pauses to review his message for a moment, in case he might have accidentally gotten the wrong point across.]

...I believe I stated that I don't wish to be anything else.

[Video]

[selfdekustructive]

He, uh... doesn't really mean any of it! He just likes to sound tough.

[ Still, his general mental commentary is 'Kacchan why' or something very close to it. ]

[Video]

[kalmaleader]

...He does realize that this will only make him sound like a wild animal who needs to be caged, does he not?

[Video]

[hot_handed]

Shut the fuck up, Deku. It's bad enough I have to live with you, I don't need you jumping in to fight my battles.

You hear me, Deku? You mean absolutely nothing to me. So stay the fuck out of it.
